That went great for BC.

Just let the chuds have their referendum question and it'll be firmly trounced. Prosecute any foreign influence operations extremely harshly from a federal level, with sedition charges for any residents that are implicated in such operations and extradition requests for foreign actors (Heritage Foundation carpet baggers).

The victim's kids should be given bamboo canes and left alone with her for an hour.

The term you would search for here is "split-horizon DNS". Assuming you're using a real domain name with hosts, you want a DNS server inside that resolves the LAN address, and the outside DNS server for everyone else resolves your WAN address (which presumably you reverse-proxy to inside host).

Even better is to not expose the service at all from the outside, use a VPN like Tailscale, and then use their MagicDNS service on the tailscale network to keep everything behind the firewall.

Every service you expose to the outside is more attack surface.

If I had a CS tell me that, I'd be having a discussion with their manager about 10 seconds later.

That's fucking idiotic.

I think I saw a story yesterday where the administration sent out a press release that had it as "American". Not even the chief diaper shitter, apparently someone that gets paid to know better.

At least the govt tries to stop it, instead of instituting it.

I had a car dealership I was to add new servers into a new rack and recable it. I walked into a room with about half a dozen servers balanced on a pile of cat5, BNC and serial cables about 4' high. I spent 3 weeks untangling cables, removing dead cable, decommissioning serial and token ring networks and re-terminating or re-running ethernet that didn't test well.

Pretty much everything was done by scream test because nothing was marked. I found an ancient server that was still used for manuals occasionally that was drywalled into a old closet in the shop when I traced down a line I disconnected and one of the mechanics asked where his manuals had gotten to. That server was shut down every night when they turned off the shop lights and booted back up every morning for who knows how many years when someone came in to work and turned on the lights.

I eventually got to the point I could set up my rack and SANs/servers, patch everything over from the network rack I mounted on the wall, and get guys going on the workstations.

We had a series of meetings after that with the sales team about getting a technical appraisal before we sold our equipment into dealerships. And every dealership I worked in after that was pretty similiar.

Honestly, it was an amazingly satisfying feeling at the end to look in that room after I was done. I get a little shiver 20 years later thinking about it now.

Oh, don't forget that now the oil that actually gets through is being traded in yuan and RMB instead of USD, so now the petrodollar is starting to slip away, which is the only reason the dollar can keep it's strength because it leverages every other countries energy budget to contribute to US GDP.

This was true weapons-grade stupidity for that stable genius.

I just loaded up 42 tons of oats to take to the mill tomorrow.

Enjoy.

Especially where I'd be coming from.

 

If they pretend to be happy to see us, we'll scratch behind their ears and let them forget about the nightmare they live at all times, and secretly they hunger for our blood. But if they slake their thirst and eat our livers, there will be no one to give them scritches.

So they play along despite their ancient hatred and maybe, just maybe, we'll give them that hard rub on the spot just above the tail. Yah, that one. Oh, god, keep doing that. Yah, do it, you sonofabitch, or I'll rip your throat out in your sleep tonight because you're no use to me anymore.

Bloody hell. Neighbor driving by called me up to suggest there might be an issue.

Thank dog for good neighbors.

 

I don't need much more than 100Mhz but I'd like to have serial/CAN decoding. I could probably get away with a 2 channel, but it seems like a lot of the extra features like wifi control and digital channels only come on the 4 channels like the 1204X-E, plus it has some waveform generation (though maybe that's an addon?).

Anyone have a budget model they'd recommend? The DS1504 seems like it's getting a bit long in the tooth and the price point doesn't really seem competitive with better scopes.

 

She will be succeeding Cindy Cohn who has spent her career fighting the good fight. I was listening to an interview with her by Cory Doctorow, she's had an impressive record with the EFF, and it sounds like she wants to get back to the courtroom and leave the administration to a new generation.

Thanks, Cindy!

I'm going to change the countertops soon so I wasn't super concientious about the caulking job.

I was a little pissy about the fact that the hold downs seem like they were designed by morons that don't understand Newtons 3rd law, because when you tighten them, they just rotate until they're hard against the sink wall. And the tap still uses a nut that needs a huge basin wrench instead of what I've seen on other taps like a nut that tightens by hand and then you just use a Philips screwdriver to tighten a couple machine screws that finish the job.

Ah well, it's in and I get to do it all over again when I order countertops.

 

Pocket-TTS seems to be a TTS server that returns audio much faster locally than Piper, so I built a container that enables it via Wyoming protocol and zeroconf to be available in Home Assistant.

There is the ability to use an audio snippet to clone a voice that would be used by pocket-TTS, I haven't enabled anything like that yet. PRs welcome.

 

This would be nicer than Playwright for dev work, I think.
