It’s always fascinating when it’s proposed that those more closely associated with reproduction are framed as intrinsically holding greater social value than any other member of a society. For me it’s one of the clearest indicators of a system not worthy of engagement.

My reading of the original post is that the flexibility afforded to parents by a workforce, in the rare instances they are, should not be gated behind their proximity to progeny.

Work should be subservient to the needs of the society it is conducted within, to argue otherwise is abdicating one’s humanity.

• Star Trek is science fiction.
• Stargate is science mythology.

Odd, even, or none; UART doing it parity.

On 2001-09-12, Al-Qaeda and bin Laden became superfluous because the US and those aligned with them plagiarised their play book and implemented it as the Patriot Act and related societal debasements.

A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

I use Subler mostly as a metadata acquisition and injector tool, and secondarily as a M4V remux sanitiser. The subtitles function is more a subset of its stream management, and is much less relevant than its name implies. That said, it does do a very competent job at converting, through OCR, DVD and BluRay bitmap subtitles to ASCII variants required for MP4 containers.

I think it only works in macOS, which makes it difficult to understand its purpose when you don’t have that platform readily available. Ideally it would have a CLI/TUI which would lend it better to script integration.

1. Love the project name.
2. This looks close to what I’ve imagined coalescing my hand conjured ffmpeg scripts into.
3. I’d like to feed this into a pipeline that includes Subler or equivalent.

The CALEA functions aren’t in the modem, they’re in the CMTS, the router the modems talk to/through at the head end. I’d expect similar demarcation with other access technologies, but they’re not my area.

I see this new requirement as an attempt, at least partially, to bring CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) into CALEA scope.

My take is they’ve made the network a more hostile environment, and elevated the need and justification to build a more resilient overlay layer of encrypted and obfuscated channels.

HTTPS, QUIC, DoT/DoH and such have been piecemeal attempts which make sense over a neutral network. An actively hostile environment needs to be treated as a dumb pipe, preferably one of many diverse paths.

I’m well versed in the CALEA capabilities of DOCSIS equipment, hence my comment.

This tells me any equipment that is classified as acceptable by these requirements is immediately suspect, and should not be permitted to connect to, or communicate with, equipment you need to trust.

Hot cancer on cancer action.

If anyone could market it as a niche, it’d be OnlyFans.

The US has not been a country anyone should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and won’t be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

The odds are worse than a coin flip that I’ll live to see that.

It already has the death year of the US in its design, it should be trivial to make him eligible with a tactical covfefe hamberder.

Deploy it in the middle of June, and it will be a nice, round 80.

I think he likes the jaundiced, urine, sepia look of any room filled with cheap trinkets encrusted cheap plating.

Billionaires and charities are the polar extremes of the same policy failure.

Neither should exist, but when they do, they should be tolerated for the shortest practicable lifespan.

Perpetually charities are a grift whose primary purpose is to serve as a social responsibility abdication sink for governments and corporations, and secondarily artificially inflate the social legitimacy of churches and faith based organisations.

Temporary charitable needs are better served by mutual aid.

Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine maintenance and repair workforce.

The percentage of sociopaths involved with defining a society should never be greater than zero.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
