Along the same lines are all the parks in my city that cut down large trees to plant small ornamental trees. Oh, want a bench? Nowhere near the trees. Yeah, I’m talking about you, Shoreline park! WTheck

That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

Queue police siren and light…

“The Naked Gun” theme music begins

Roll intro!

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.

Most Americans don’t want to do this work.

Well, yeah. Excuse the generalizations, but we don’t live 6 to an apartment or farm housing and ship our wages back home where the dollar goes further. We have to survive here long term and farmers don’t pay COL, savings, and retirement.

Americans don’t do this because it’s a bad deal.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

Just pointing out that housing is so absurd in that area, parking spaces are housing in many of those areas. I drive through and the roads are lined with campers and RV’s from all the tech workers grabbing their bag of gold after a couple years and bugging off somewhere cheap.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…

Meanwhile our plastic bag tax has pretty much eliminated paper bags and raked in fortunes in profits on plastic bags.

Y’all ain’t seeing the bigger plan here like Republicans do.

We gotta make th next Taliban now so we have someone to go to war with in 20 years. War is profitable and will make America strong again after Democrats unfuck this pig. Then Republicans can swoop in and claim the credit!

/S of course.

We’re so fucked these assholes are in charge.

That’s great for food workers, but there are many, many more jobs just as dismal. I personally know workers who are scheduled randomly between 0 and 5 days a week. Hell, there was a month this year with 4 5-hour shifts. What complete BS.

There is no financial security whatsoever. But that’s sort of the point. Keeps labor costs down and if they quit, no unemployment.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Me too. I’m up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.

About 10 years ago, I just moved and my new neighbor had an open network. Problem was they were 2 houses away and across the street. I set up a tiny repeater in my car with a battery pack and parked half way between us.

It worked surprising well for about 6 months.

Love the creativity on those messages! Wow!

I’m saying split tunnel is very similar to a whitelist and is available to some VPN’s. A split tunnel would also bypass the VPN.

Also, while Android auto is a system app now, it is also identifiable by my VPN software and able to be whitelisted.

Maybe we’re just using VPN’s differently than you’d expect. For example, I use Blokada, a local VPN for reducing ad/tracking services embedded in apps. I don’t actually send my traffic to a remote server.
