Voted today and didn't see any "Election Monitors" in my area. Pretty busy though for what should have been a dead time (just after lunch)

Someone is *terrified* that they are going to go to jail

I see this commercial where the this Nebraska beef farmer basically says “To us, our customers are like family”

I look at that and think “Have you met most families?! I don’t want that drama, I just want my damn food!”

I think about the companies that would tout their “family like culture” as if some families aren’t toxic 😂

To be fair, a lot of those companies end being toxic AF so maybe it makes sense 🤷🏽‍♂️

Good thing I run my own DNS

So the first thing Apple's new CEO John Ternus did was to rename Lake Ontario at Trump's request.

new boss is the same as the old one

2/ if that isn’t human behavior, then I don’t know what is

#AI

1/ Even though this is serious, I can’t stop laughing at the second robot.

- Robot comes out
- Man extends hand
- Robot mean mugs man as if to say “The fuck you want?”
- Man pushes robot because of the disrespect
- Robot takes a moment to contemplate what just happened
- Other man walks over as if to calm the robot down
- Robot effectively says “Naw, fuck all y’all”, gets into a fighting stance, flips on some theme music and crashes out by attacking everyone

I agree with the person that called the Apple iPhone Duo the “Apple Duo 2K”

$2k for the base model.. is just insane

The way the French and Americans practice #NoKings couldn’t be more different.

2/ Jack Welch was CEO of General Electric for 20 years, he grew GE from being worth 10s of billions to 100s of billions in that timeframe.

For those that didn't know, this was a guy who enjoyed:

- Stock backdating
- Excessive executive pay
- Stack ranking
- Offshoring manufacturing
- Turned GE into a bank
- Outsized corp greed

His people that immersed in the "Jack Welch' way went on to fuck up Boeing, Home Depot, Chrysler, 3M, Nortel, Warner Bros

1/ This is for those Apple fans that are hopeful about John Ternus changing things at Apple (for the better).

When you make as much money for the company as Tim Cook did and they let you pick your replacement, it is normal and rational to pick someone molded in your own image.

After all, since Tim Cook was successful, why not a clone? Not to mention Cook isn't going anywhere, he's the head of the board.

2/2 - Present self signed certificate from a proxy posing as their ad server(s) with (DNS)

- Set the switch port negotiation (half duplex or speed) for ethernet

- Bad ethernet cable that shows a connection, but no data can pass through.

In other words, levels of the OSI model *before* it gets to their software.

All kinds of ways to prevent or frustrate LG.

And there much more smarter people than me that have ideas too

1/ Since LG wants to play games and spy on people in their own homes, here are some games you can play with them if you own the network:

- Null routing at the gateway
- Route the TV traffic through another country via a cheap VPS
- Changing QOS (Quality of Service) by cinching down that traffic to 3600 baud speeds
- Sending TCP RST to the TV source ports causing the TV to retry to connect ad infinitum

2/2 Rust installation actually takes down the box. May have something to do with concurrent writes?

Anyway, a `zpool scrub zroot` is also guaranteed to do the job. All that to say, I filed my first FreeBSD bug and because of AI spamming bug trackers, I had to send an email for a human to create my account for me.

Maybe one day I'll have enough technical skill to help out, but in the meantime bug reports are the only way I can contribute. 🤷‍♂️

#freebsd #apple

1/2 Glad to see FreeBSD making progress on running on 2018 Intel Mac Minis. They are wonderful little build servers and now that Apple deemed all intel macs "obsolete", it can have a second life and avoid the e-waste landfill.

While FreeBSD T2 chip support lags a little bit behind Linux, I'm grateful that FreeBSD contributors are working on it.

I did have a crash where the NVME storage controller times out after heavy I/O.

I mused a week ago about nothing stopping Trump from renaming California. I should have thought about anything having the name “Mexico” in it

Nigerians are just built different. They claim ice just jumped in their vehicle without identifying themselves (based off of what we have seen from ICE, this isn’t far fetched), so they hit the gas with the agent in the passenger seat and dropped his ass off at the police station.

Watching this documentary on Leopold Aschenbrenner and hearing about him (Leopold) being a part of the "Effective Altruism" movement, I just shake my head at people who actually believe this shit.

Whenever I see "Effective Altruism", all I can think about is Jay-Z's "Moment of Clarity" where he says:

🎶 And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them 🎶

I wonder how many of them *actually* believe it. On second thought, I don't care, tax their asses

#aschenbrenner

If Trump can unilaterally change the established names of bodies of water with an executive order, why not land masses? Why not change the name state of California to something else?

Let's see where Google's line actually is.

And before anyone tells me "he can't do that", I'll kindly point them towards the war in Iran that Congress didn't declare, tariffs, etc
