Another thing I've learned debugging WiFi issues: having router sitting on the floor is a bad idea. How bad can it be? 10dBm bad.
Raising the router off the floor by just 30cm significantly improved network coverage, including on the floor below it!

'Breaking Bad' Creator Hates AI, Promises New Show 'Pluribus' Was 'Made By Humans' - Slashdot

It's funny how "AI" tools are simulteanously marketed as "agents" that can run fully in the background and do stuff but whenever they do something bad it's the user at fault for not supervising the software that doesn't work.
Even when it’s directly used and the user has the chance to review everything—it’s extremely dangerous, especially at tasks it is doing fine like 95% of the time and/or when the bad things are only subtly wrong.
Imagine other tools being like this, like a steering wheel that turns the car 95 out of a 100 times. 2% of the time it steers into the other direction. 3% of the time it steers 5x as much as normally.

The #KeepassXC discussion about GenAI coding tool use seems a bit too simplistic at the moment.
There is room for nuance:
1. Yes, LLM based code generators consume insane amounts of electricity and generate collateral environment damage. That's bad, and we should talk much more about energy efficiency and reasonable use of resources.
2. Yes, LLMs generate a lot of bad o…

Sure, police make domestic violence just to make Trump look bad:
“They said, ‘Crime’s down 87 percent.’
I said, no, no, no
—it’s more than 87 percent, virtually nothing.
And much lesser things,
things that take place in the home they call crime.
You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something.
If a man has a little fight with the wife,
they say this was a crime.
See?
So now I can’t claim 100 percent but we are.

I will be getting three more 4TB drives to add to my TrueNAS install. I have three 4TB drives now so I should go from 7TB total to 16TB total.

Generally speaking, I think when officers of the government start gunning down their own citizens on the streets, that’s a bad thing.

Ok, yeah, I'm not done processing my anger over liberals doing shit like this. So this historian sees a rise in right wing violence, sees the US government carrying out ethnic cleansing, sees a rise in white supremacist terrorism, and then says, "oh yeah... this reminds me of a time right around the 1920s. Hum... yeah, ANARCHISTS fighting the government! Yeah, that's the same thing."
FFS, IT'S THE RED SUMMER! If you want a parallel between today and some horrible time in US history, TALK ABOUT THE RED SUMMER. The point of the language of dehumanization that the right uses, the point of all the anti-black and anti-emigrant rhetoric, is that it leads to genocide. Trump already carried out an act of genocide (#USPol
I wonder what the long term impact will be of a US president declaring that "many" of the 50 states of the US are "bad actors".

I strongly think that government should be where they can reach people; especially for emergencies but also for boring normal civics and politics.
This includes websites, TV, radio, print media, social media and whatever the future brings.
(Do not confuse abuse of this, as currently practiced by some western governments, with it being inherently bad.)

It’s bad luck to be superstitious.
"Is" ideas can only lead us down the path we let them. They are not inherently bad.
escorts: Brazilian prostitution network (2010)
A bipartite network of escort and individuals who buy sex from them in Brazil, extracted from a Brazilian online community for such ratings. Edges represent a purchase of sexual intercourse with an escort, and the edge weight gives the buyer's rating of the escort: -1 (bad), 0 (neutral), or 1 (good). Other edge attributes are available. Edges are timestamped.
This network has 16730 nodes and 50632 edges.

For those interested in learning more about the Galleanisti, it's worth digging in to understand the context, IMHO. Like I said, I think that insurrectionary anarchism is generally a pretty bad strategy. I have quite a few critiques, that I won't go into now. But I also think it's worth understanding that part of history and how it all came together.

'A little cocoa butter': Whoopi Goldberg comes up with new way to mess with ICE - Raw Story
https://www.rawstory.com/super-bowl-bad-bunny/
Now, for any person with a shred of moral dignity, there's some time during US history where you would have to admit that an insurrection or rebellion was necessary. Only complete scum bag fascists would try to argue that a slave revolt wasn't an absolute good, and that it was a bad thing when those revolts were crushed. Anyone with a shred of moral decency has to admit that there is at least one point in US history where the nation was doing something so incredibly evil, that it would have been good if people would have rose up and stopped it.
Today we're talking about the displacement and genocide of people in Gaza. We can look at any number of genocide on US soil carried out by the US government. Who, with any moral clarity, wouldn't point to those and want to believe that they would have resisted, violently if necessary, against those slaughters. Who, that today condemns slavery, could look at John Brown and not wish to have the moral integrity to fight and die along side of him?
Every liberal who actually believes in justice, who isn't just virtue signaling out of guilt, should be able to point to a time in history where they would absolutely agree with the most militant resistance. For those folks, I always wonder, when did that evil end? Where is your line? Have you thought about that?
In hopes of an history night in New York I thought I would find some NYHC to listen to but wow, so much of it is just... bad. Really bad.
I can do the first Cro-mags and Leeway albums, and old pals Born Against all day long but damn, New York hardcore was not great.
I guess I was always more of a Bay Area/Gilman Street type of punk.
