I’d also argue the ‘GAMES MUST BE ULTRA AT 4K144 OR DONT BOTHER’ take is wrong.

Some of the best games I’ve played have graphics that’ll run on a midrange GPU from a decade ago, if not just integrated graphics

Case in point, this is what I’m playing right now:

Sometimes I feel bad for scammers because I know how long it takes just to freaking reset a password on legitimate support calls at work (and usually that’s someone who’s put in a vague ticket saying “software isn’t working” so I emailed them a “I’m not a psychic” email with a link to schedule a call which requires one to schedule on the next business day just to finally talk on the phone and identify what they couldn’t write out in their ticket 2 days ago) but then I remember that they’re fucking scammers and often fully aware of what they’re doing

It sounds like in the above case the codes were real 2fa codes from his bank as the scammers were resetting their login credentials then adding an external account to initiate a transfer. Presumably they were simply reusing info from a breach to make the scam smoother

He actually did! Kamala bated him by inviting people to observe the insanity he says at his rallies and observe the people leaving the rally before he’s even finished speaking, so he took the bait and instead of responding to the question that was asked, accused her of having fake crowds at her debates followed by ranting about Haitian immigrants in Ohio stealing and eating people’s pets then argued with the moderators saying he saw people saying so on TV!

Associated Press has a cut down clip of it at the top of this article but the whole exchange was wild of you dig up the full segment https://apnews.com/article/haitian-immigrants-vance-trump-ohio-6e4a47c52b23ae2c802d216369512ca5

Edit to add: he also at another point said something about “[Kamala] wants illegal immigrants to get sex change surgeries in prison” which would be very based but unfortunately is obviously false, and at another point misspoke when talking about IVF and said “I’m a leader on fertilization”

Honestly I suspect he was vaguely aware of it, vaguely on board with it but once he was informed of how unpopular it was he started distancing himself

Edit: I don’t think he saw how unpopular it was, I think he was correctly informed of that by his campaign staff

Part of that is OWIs weren’t initially categorized as criminal offenses but purely traffic offenses, so people didnt face any significant jail time to detox and potentially realize their need to break the addiction

The EFF had a handy explainer a couple of years ago on basically that subject:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Service providers are required to report any CSAM on their servers to the CyberTipline operated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a private, nonprofit organization established by the U.S. Congress, and can be criminally prosecuted for knowingly facilitating its distribution. NCMEC shares those reports with law enforcement. However, you are not required to affirmatively monitor your instance for CSAM.

By my understanding, you don’t have to setup proactive monitoring for CSAM being federated in, but if you specifically spot CSAM or it is reported to you then you are legally obligated to report it

There’s also a more modern terminal-based browser called browsh

I got that reference!

otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

I love it when it’s 50ish out and sunny. You don’t get all sweaty, plus you can wear cozy socks and sweaters or just go out in short sleeves and both are perfectly fine. The bugs all start going into hiding at that temperature but the grass and leaves are still green

For public facing only use key based authentication. Passwords have too much risk associated for public facing ssh

The state university in the town I live in has a policy that freshmen must live in the dorms unless they already live within city limits (small college town, so the university literally has a student body of about 1/2 the permanent residents of the town)

Here in Wisconsin we had a heat index of over 100 for about a week not even 14 days ago and today the high was 65. I broke out the sweaters and fall gear today and it was a nice change of pace

JD Vance?

I was making after hours config changes on a pair of mostly-but-not-entirely redundant Cisco L3 switches which basically controlled the entire network at that location. While updating the running configs I mixed up which ssh session was which switch and accidentally gave both switches the same IP address, and before I noticed the error I copied the running config to the startup config.

Due to other limitations and the fact that these changes were to fix DNS issues (and therefore I couldn’t rely on DNS to save me) I ended up keeping sshing in by IP until I got the right switch and trying to make the change before my session died due to dropped packets from the mucked up network situation I had created. That easily added a couple of hours of cleanup to the maintainence I was doing

Unless you run DHCPv6 (which really no-one does in reality)

Question for you since I have very little real world IPv6 experience: generally you can provide a lot of useful network information to clients via DHCP, such as the DNS server, autoconfig info for IP phones, etc. how does a network operator ensure that clients get this information if it’s not using DHCPv6?

IPv6 genuinely made some really good decisions in its design, but I do question the default “no NAT, no private network prefixes” mentality since that’s not going to work so well for average Janes and Joes
