Amateur Radio@lemmy.radio•Please describe the lightning protection for your amateur radio station and specifically whether you use "lightning arrestors" (with or without the belief they will arrest the lightning).English
2·1 year agoYes. Subscribed. I want to hear more. I work in transit signaling. Lightning and transit voltage protection. So many variables with traction power but also lightning. Sounds interesting.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?English
6·1 year agoI think there have been great advances in comfort and convenience factors. The toilet itself and the valve system, hasn’t changed in 80 years. It feels like a technology that should have been eclipsed to something more efficient and easier for the sanitary sewer system to handle.

I bought a fumpa and it had issues immediately. I could only inflate for a few psi before it would fail. Had to plug it back in to power to reset the pump. Told them the same information and they wanted to send me a new one. I have given up on the experiment. I rarely need them on the road. Carry emergency CO2 only. I fill before each ride to maintain accurate psi levels. Tubeless on all my bikes. They seemed perplexed (fumpa) that anything had every failed. I just wanted my money back and they were pretty pushy before they relented. I wouldn’t buy another one of those and Amazon seems littered with trash versions. I went with fumpa as it was made in America. Oh well. Maybe in a few more years they’ll be more reliable. Super loud too. I have a Ryobi battery pump with digital gauge that you set desired psi. It was quieter than the fumpa and use that before every ride.
