Federal authorities have opened a criminal probe into whether
two immigration officers lied under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month,
as all charges were dropped against two Venezuelan men.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said Friday that
his agency opened a joint probe with the Justice Department after video evidence revealed
“sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements”

It generally argues for functions to be moved out and up, but it does not say you cannot have functionality at lower layers or in the middle.

I was suspicious of the etymology of molly-guard because it only dates to 1982, and the devices are much older. But Ed Krol from UIUC tells the story about his daughter Molly on page 14 of this PDF.
The only thing about it was that on one side was a big red switch—kid-sized, about 2 inches wide. ... I took my daughter Molly in to work with me. I said, ‘You play with your trucks on the floor while I work,’ and she saw this amazing big red thing and gave it a yank and turned it off.

A useful tidbit that stood out to me in this article:
“Noem [by lying] is training and testing the MAGA base”
Huh − “training and testing”
There’s a dance here: the regime is training its supports in how to think about and talk about current circumstances — but also testing the waters, seeing what sticks, what they’re willing to believe. Recognizing this as a bidirectional dance seems useful. Framing it as “training” instead of “telling” seems useful. Recognizing it as “testing” seems useful.

It's probably worth mentioning that I went to an anarchist event last night and ended up talking to someone about the fact that there are like 2 regular anarchist camps in the Netherlands (not including anarchist adjacent and nearby like CCC).
Meanwhile, I'm reading the noodsituatie packet from the NCTV and there are definitely some gaps. Like, it talks about what you need for 72 hours without services, including water, but doesn't really bring up sanitation beyond "have some hand sanitizer."

The 'N' stands for Network - so you can do a lot of things remotely, for example making a bunch of machines speak to one host monitoring the UPS and get them all to shut down.
I also use some of my own scripts to feed it into some graphing stuff with Grafana and get pretty line voltage graphs;

Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

After all, we are the producers of the goods, the services, the technologies. It is our labour and our planet’s resources that are at stake. And so we must claim the right to decide what is produced, how, and for what purpose.
