We do a lot of earthworks here, has made hydraulics the bane of my existence.. I always carry a spare of the longest length on the tractor now

lol, live on a farm and regularly working on tractors and building.. I was just impatient, and rushing

Had this earlier in the year, I’d over tightened one side (used an impact).. doing them equally(ish) to tension by hand fixed the seal and stopped the leak

Noted, though I’ve already made the mistake of tequila at defcon before my flight home, may consider that part optional

At the time, I was a developer from Australia… seemed to fit :)

Interesting… I’m mostly following the lead of a lawyer friend. If I wanted to learn more about that, with much less experience in this than you have, where would you begin?

Ahhhhhh… sorry, bias. I did the land thing last year / been building out.

Depends on what kind of a master agreement you have with them… most are very explicit on data ownership, which makes this a non issue. Matters for individual <-> individual but not for businesses as press is making out

Thinking this through more too - fencing is about 50k if 10-20 acres (self building), another 10k or so for materials if you build your own barns.. all very, very expensive if you want to build something multi generational with minimal upkeep

Missed opportunity for a subtle “oh hay there” when you walked in.. imagine your reaction later on if they did

Not sure I’d agree if you’re doing food also. The labour cost is high, even if you’re just farming to supplement. Much higher time inputs if you don’t own tractor, excavator, etc also. At least 150k need there

I’ve managed water, and septic.. off grid power, fully off grid starts at min 50k where I live though. Battery technology still isn’t quite there yet

I’ve tried a few times to get going here, but it does feel dead to me each time. Genuine question - what should I do differently? I’d like to post more, but don’t want to spam, and get no interest when I do post
