"Setting the stage for the crime begins with sophisticated hackers compromising a freight broker’s load board account, which is an online marketplace where trucking loads are listed and bid on. As typical in many data breaches and other cyberattacks, the accounts are compromised through social engineering and spear phishing. After taking over a freight broker’s account, the criminals then post a fraudulent load listing offering an attractive shipment."

…everyone there was white. •Everyone•. This particular park would usually be more white than not, but…this was weird.
There’s officially a city prohibition on ICE setting foot in city parks, but who knows what that’s worth? Those bastards will do anything if they think they can get away with it. And they’ll grab people right off the streets if they’re falling behind quota for the day. Who’d risk that?
ICE had apparently succeeded turning the park into all-white world they dreamed of. It was…creepy.

The last few Christmases, I've idly daydreamed about setting up a siphon to make it easier to water the tree. This year I finally did it, and I love it.
I have a small bucket tucked under a branch between the tree and the wall with a flexible piece of clear tubing running into the tree stand. Now instead of awkwardly laying down and filling the stand, I can just pour water into the bucket, up to the fill line I drew with a sharpie.
My car is set to automatically defrost itself every day at 7am. I don't commute anywhere anymore, so I don't really need it to defrost, but I don't have a method to change that setting. I can see the back window from my house, and I looked to see if I see any changes.

Is there some setting in #Nextcloud that would cease posting these tagging messages? As evident in the image below, while occasionally useful, most often, by a large margin, the tags are hilariously inaccurate (a tuning note A is 'rap') but as I have thousands of photos and audio files, the constant stream of these renders notifications useless,
