Jets are also simply too loud for homes under the takeoff path in standard use. There’s what amounts to a ghost town next to LAX due to this and the history of the airport.

Burbank Airport has quiet hours and has left a bunch of commercially zoned area under that takeoff path.

I’m in Atlanta now and they bought up a lot of land around the airport when redeveloping it and do similar zoning tricks for the buffer. One of the buffer zones is the Porsche Experience. It’s loud as heck when you’re on the part of the track closest but not bad where the corporate HQ and paddock is

That's wild, I was in LA recently for work and drove by that area and wondered what was up with the street grid. I figured it must be something like this given the airport.

How do you handle the "for gaming" aspect?

I'd love to move to Linux but Battlefield is about to release and that's what my friends are going to play, so...

Battlefield's anti-cheat isn't supported in Proton/Wine, so you're stuck with Windows there.

Thanks for licq. This was my favourite client.

Likewise, I used it for a while as well. I also used a console client named micq, good times.

I just want the auto-sync experience of iCloud photos to my own NAS. Paying Apple $2.99/mo forever just so I can have an offsite backup of my photos is so obnoxious.
