My kids and I read Harry Potter a lot. We love it and it’s been a good bonding experience.

We limit our consumption of Harry Potter though. We read the books, watch the old movies and occasionally (once a year) maybe, purchase a lego set.

I have explained to my kids that I would rather not support JK Rowling due to her stance on trans people and for the most part they are cool with things.

I am certainly still not helping but I believe my kids understand pretty well

I love that someone out there is like

“Yes, finally all I needed was a woman spanking a banker in a pig mask”

“Fuck Dem kids”

– Republican Party

pretty sure they have said that many times

I assure you

When you step into a full body scanner SOMEBODY gets a look at your shrinky-dink!

When we fly we are forced to let some stranger see our junk with the full body scanner

Gotta make sure no one is smuggling a full sized tube of tooth paste up their ass

Seems reasonable given that

I have an Aqara doorbell camera thats been really nice

I am not 100% sure about their privacy but the camera can record local as well as to iCloud when used with HomeKit

My IoT approach for the last 7 years has been HomeKit or DIY and I have not been disappointed too much

He documented an era and inspired many people

You will never be able to talk about the early days of the internet or computing and not refer to his work

I do not weld but could see myself making this mistake without having been informed.

I use brake clean as a basic cleaner for a lot of things in my garage as it does a pretty good job and also evaporates quickly without leaving a residue.

The story tracks my general experiences pretty well

I would guess this mistake is much more common as brake clean is used as a general cleaner by a lot of people

I mean, if we are going to capitalism with a straight face we have to start being the whole bitch.

He owned it, Lamborghini wanted it… that made it a valuable asset that he held that Lamborghini should have paid for

Modern fridges last less than 7 years.

I like smart devices and IoT but I hate that for normal people this has been diluted down to cameras and screens on everything with no consideration about privacy or boundaries.

Bottom rocker is territory.

Nomads naturally are not claiming anything but MCs will go to war over that bottom rocker as well.

I think the Hells Angels war with the Mongols started over this sort of conflict

Damn, I am sad now… kids don’t get the joy of a properly defaced text book anymore :(

I want HomeKit compatibility. OR something hackable that requires no cloud connection. These companies are not our friends and have betrayed our trust at every step.

Local models are actually pretty great! They are not great at everything… but for what most people are using LLMs for they do a fine job.

Thats from llama3.1:8b and the answer is decent, it took about 20seconds to generate my answer and used no more power than if I were to play a video game for the same amount of time.

Just clearly list the ingredients

That way I don’t have to badger the waiter with my 10+ allergies AND hopefully not forget one until I see it on my plate

Most of these things are pretty secure out of the box.

Even without fail2ban disabling root login and only allowing SSH key authentication makes those scripts just a waste of time for the attacker. That game is a low effort attempt to just get the low hanging fruit for botnets though.

Yes, My home network setup is a bit complicated but I am using Pfsense so I have things on separate vlans with internal firewall rules to reduce risks.

All traffic in on port 443 is routed from Cloudflare to an NginX reverse proxy which decides how to connect back into my network for things

Years ago I would just run a server on the network with 443, 80 and 22 exposed directly to the world and never had any major issues. (Other than the normal automated attacks trying to gain shell access over SSH)

I got 1gbps internet (symmetrical) and a raspberry pi cluster… running my own Wordpress never made more sense… AND that botch should scale!

It’s not pretty and it’s rife with issues.

BUT this will let you search any game from the first issue to around 1996 and will tell you which issues it appears in
