For me it’s sunny, the temperature is 15 C, and the wind is blowing at 0.56 m/s. I don’t know what that that is in imperial units. Also their’s a drought where I live
Internet safety reminder:
On posts like these, I encourage everyone to at least randomize the real values by a couple percent, round the values, or be vague on details. On occasion, even completely fabricate the values. The reason for that is to avoid doxxing through statistical analysis.
Btw, clear skies where I’m at. Very cool weather for a dive in the river.
Just curious — if you live in a major city, is there a significant risk to admitting you’re in that area?
Honestly it all depends on how paranoid you want to be. Say for example you had a rough breakup and want to get away from your significant other. For that person, maybe mentioning a city is enough to know where you will likely be? (Assuming they know it’s you using the nickname and location of family relatives, for example).
For a server host, like a Lemmy instance, if you don’t use a VPN, they could already have a general idea of where you live (if they wanted), even without you telling them. That’s because they can see the IP from all connections (if they wanted).
For a random person like me, on the other side of the world, I’d probably need a bit more than just the city.
I’ll leave what is a significant risk up to you. Just know that it depends on a case by case basis, who you’re hiding the information from, and how intent your opponents are in wanting to obtain that information. So, if there is little reward for the trouble, they probably won’t even try.
All of these things are generally called opsec (operational security), if you’re interested in researching more.
Damn that’s true, the internet can be pretty spooky sometimes
It is 42 degrees right now. It feels like 42 degrees even after sundown. Tap water remains hot until late night. My AC is not working so I am sweating like a pig all day. Monsoons are approaching so maybe it gets better. But it still fills me with climate anxiety.
Edit: Celsius
For me it’s fricking hot and dry, it’s been straight two months now that temperature is 43 to 48 °C, and wind blows at 5 to 8 m/s with no foreseeable sign of rain yet. We depend on monsoon rain for our rice crop but yet no sign of it and all the weather forecasts has gone burr… There will be drought if monsoon fails but that’s very unlikely. Monsoon has been slowed down due to a sea storm and supposed to come late. Many farmers have already started planting the rice crop with water from pumps after waiting for rain fearing the late crop. I think whereever you are now is currently in better condition then us except that drought situation but can’t that be dealt with new technologies if govt is willing?
At least it’s better than hot and humid I guess? Climate change stinks though — it’s going to make your droughts and all the weather you hate worse…
33C and 100% humidty currently

It supposedly hit 33C today in Florida but it felt pretty cool especially with the rain coming into town.
It’s 35°C where I am and feels like 39°C. It’s not even at the worst part of the day yet. Thank goodness for rain, but the humidity (52%) is too high for this temperature…
We had a feels like ~50°C earlier this week — thank goodness I didn’t have to be outside!
