Met2Adapt: Modelling of the dynamic response for offshore wind farms | Courses | University of Liverpool
We will develop novel mathematical models to predict the dynamic phenomena arising in offshore wind farms and further model the acoustic waves generated by individual, and clusters of, wind turbines to help quantify the effect on wildlife, including birds, marine mammals, and fish.

It works! It finally works! I’ve no idea how I made it work, but it works! I still hate databases. #sysadmin #postmaster #selfhost

Uh oh … unbounded disk usage is back. I hate databases :mastodon_oops: #sysadmin #postmaster #selfhost

Hopefully, this means that if the machine goes down or the database gets corrupted I’ll lose, at most, 15 seconds worth of data (mail) rather than 24-hours as per my previous backup routine.

- Downloading two different versions of go so that I can compile the binary on two machines running different architecture
- Buying more disk space on my VPS and expanding my LVM partition.

Database migrated — it took far longer than necessary because I messed up the permissions. Next step: setting up streaming replication.

(b) Send a tonne of emails in a very short period on your behalf, which usually triggers rate limits and makes me look like I’m spammy, which is counter-productive.

I’ll send you one email and you tell me whether it landed in your inbox, spam, or bounced. If you’re willing to help drop me a DM here to email me (my address is my handle). Thanks! 🙏🏻
