I post about a lot of random stuff that catches my attention. I don't have any qualifications outside of computer science and security.

My comments do not reflect the opinion of my employer, and my employer's public statements do not reflect my opinions.
Democrats had the opportunity to force Republicans take the fall for the worst holiday travel season on record.
Instead they voted to get blamed for massive healthcare premium increases just so they didn't get thier flights delayed or cancelled.

I was reading through reviews on the orange hardware store site for dish washer detergent and found this absolute turd of a review.

The US is absolutely cooked aren't we...

Wonder if Bob is ever going to find a company that makes Maga dishwasher detergent?

Friendly reminder to anybody who isn't paying attention. Welcome to the off-year election cycle. Polls open today. You should go vote. Off-year elections are just as, if not more important, than presidential and midterm elections.

Hey, nearly a million vacant units could be used to expand the city's rent controlled supply and go a long way to fixing the affordability crisis.

I don't usually post horror content but here goes.

Also @fedora.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy why are the kernel images so large? Is it normal for the rescue initramfs to take up nearly 300MB and the average kernal initramfs image to be well over 100MB?

Turns out most voters just want you to talk with them, to listen to thier concerns, and not belittle them. The Democratic party regularly fails at this.
I love that this is literally just

we realized we weren't connecting with Black people so we tried talking to more Black people and Black people like us much better now

As a friendly reminder to everyone protesting today: your phones are likely safe from the more invasive tracking methods. All you should worry about is celebrating with your comrades and minding what photos you take (record the cops at ever opportunity).

If you feel the absolute need to have surveillance cameras up on your house, make sure you own your own data and can tell the cops to take a hike if they dont have a subpoena.

@ubiquiti.bsky.social is on my shortlist for replacing your ring cameras.

Why even bother breaking out the sharpie at that point?
Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I think we need to tax them more. Hell, with the amount of money these people are throwing at this, Mamrandi might need to increase the planned amount for the new tax brackets because they clearly have plenty of money to burn.

I'm using @tailscale.com to access my home network abroad and self host services and I'm using @proton.me and @mullvad.bsky.social for getting around geoblocks.

If you count @torproject.bsky.social, I also use that when I want anonymity

Its my favorite time of year on YouTube. When @defcon.bsky.social drops all the videos from the most recent conference within like a week.

Its extremely useful to reset my algorithm by just binging all the talks I couldn't go to.

Not an easy watch/listen, but important new video from @deviantollam.bsky.social about the way a disabled trans prisoner has been abused and deprived of rights in federal prison. There's both a request for legal help/advice, but also a way to send letters to Kara to try to help her morale.

Do you have anyone in your network who has experience with the kind of advocacy that @deviantollam.bsky.social is looking for here? BOP is screwing with Kara's First Step act and even medical.

@aoc.bsky.social because this involves NY as well.
