I've got a 12VDC Mini PC as my NAS/Jellyfin server with 6 SSD's and no monitor that idles around 30watts and runs entirely off solar. It ain't fast but it does everything I need it to do and costs zero dollars to run.

That's what I used to do until I bought a brother laser printer. That was over 15 years ago and I'm still using it.

The dumb ones didn't make it. We're witnessing evolution.

Sounds like a win!

“To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the BWC footage,” Ellis wrote.

couldn't one manage without OS updates - relying on only proper cyber hygiene and opsec - until a more viable solution comes up?

That's been my plan. I just replaced all my android devices with new (to me) devices which are all unlocked, flashed/degoogled and rooted.

I should be good for 5+ years. Hopefully by then the community has come up with a solution to whatever bullshit google has done.

That was me. Had a nice career, benefits, 401k etc. I quit in part because the company is eviI. Now I'm in debt, my body aches from my new low-paying physically demanding job. But I don't have the bIood of chiIdren on my hands so I'll manage.

I don't see why a router couldn't be configured to make that work.

Then they shouldn't have offered it.

If this passes I will simply add Wisconsin to my growing list of banned US states from accessing my website. That's assuming it's not already on there.

I do the same but people will "read between the lines" and interpret what I said to mean something else. Or they think I'm implying some hidden message when in fact, I meant exactly what I said, and only what I said. Nothing less and nothing more. It's why I take a moment before speaking. I'm thinking of the best way to phrase my words. Yet it's often all for nothing.

Better to deal with some issues on linux that will eventually get ironed out than deal with the issues on windows that will only multiply.

 

So how many of the 24 perpetrators of the 31 targeted political murders or attempted murders since 2018 were from the Left? Let’s count them..

In 2018, Cesar Altieri Sayoc was sentenced to 20 years prison for sending pipe bombs to nine prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Maxine Waters. Sayoc was a registered Republican.

In 2020, 13 men attempted to punish Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer for enforcing Covid lockdown measures. All were far right extremists.

Roy Den Hollander murdered human rights lawyer Marc Angelucci in July 2020. He then tried to kill district judge Esther Salas, but succeeded instead in murdering her son and seriously wounding her husband. Hollander was a far right Trump supporter.

Quintez Brown attempted to kill Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, Craig Greenberg, in February 2022. Brown was motivated by Black nationalism, pan-Africanism and revolutionary socialism.

In October 2022 David DePape seriously injured Paul Pelosi with a hammer while seeking to kill House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi. DePape is a far right Trump supporter.

In December 2022, Solomon Peña paid gunmen to attack the houses of Democrat state lawmakers in New Mexico. Peña is a registered Republican and a former candidate for state office.

Craig Robertson was shot and killed by FBI agents in August 2023 while being arrested for threats against President Joe Biden and others. Robertson was an army veteran with extreme right wing views.

Donald Trump himself was targeted at a July 2024 rally in Pennsylvania. The shooter Thomas Crooks killed one attendee and injured three others, including Trump, whose ear was cut by a flying fragment. Crooks was a registered Republican.

Another attempt on Trump’s life, thwarted before completion, was made by Trump voter Ryan Routh in September 2024. The trial is continuing.

In April 2025, Cody Balmer attempted to kill Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro in an arson attack which caused extensive property damage but no injuries. Balmer was a Trump supporter at the time.

The Democrat Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman were killed by avid Trump supporter and registered Republican Vance Boelter in June 2025.

Boelter then attempted to murder Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and succeeded in seriously injuring the senator and his wife.

Lastly, right wing influencer Charlie Kirk was shot last Wednesday by Tyler Robinson, a white student from a gun-loving Republican Mormon family. Robinson has no party links, but has reportedly embraced the extremism of right wing racist Nick Fuentes.

How many from the Left?
