Have finally got round to setting up the new Ubiquity networking gear I bought a while back but had other stuff.
As I suspected, the ethernet cable between my office and the network router is dropping connections...
It was installed over 20 years ago so hardly surprising it isn't 1Gb capable.

Wow, bought two sticks of 48GB DDR5 Ram for $159 two years ago. Same kit costs over $560 today.
Guess I won't be upgrading to 192GB after all.

I would ignore any and all reporting claiming an imminent cave by Senate Democrats unless it actually happens and if it does, every senator voting for the scheme must be primaried and Schumer himself has to go.

And MAGA have just forced the resignation of the right wing former Tory politician director general of the BBC for a Panorama documentary telling the truth about Trump's incitement of the attack on the Capitol.
Major own goal there, the replacement won't be a Tory.

MAGA media like Politico are trying to persuade people that Schiff is seriously worried by the Trump administration threat of a malicious prosecution.
Bondi just lost the sandwich thrower case and it is clear she will lose the Comey and James cases. She will lose this one as well.

How an Adam Schiff indictment could shake the Senate
If Schiff is indicted, it would mark the first time Trump’s pursuit of political adversaries has directly affected a sitting member of the Senate.

I have zero sympathy for her. She knows that lying is wrong, she stands up in front of the press telling lie after lie. She justifies evil, that makes her a bad person.

The GOP are so desperate to take health care away from 41 million Americans, they have shut down the government, taken food away from millions more and are threatening to ruin Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Just a thought, how many of the DoJ career prosecutors sacked by the Trumpies are going to end up as article 3 judges in future?
Quite a few, I imagine and especially if Chuck Schumer is retired and a competent Senate leader takes over.

this is a more aggressive statement than when the world's richest man did a nazi salute at the inauguration of the president of the united states
he did not respond to the Heritage Foundation endorsing Holocaust denial and antisemitism as an acceptable position on the right except to crawl on his belly to praise them for reversing their position, whereas with Mamdani, threats.

Unable to defend Trump's vanadlism of the White House, the bootlickers are trying to pretend that objections are 'foolish' and 'silly'.
That is how fascists defend the indefensible: By pretending it doesn't matter.
We are going to demolish the Epstein ballroom and make Trump pay for it!

Don't let your MAGA friends and neighbors tell you how upset they are about poor people losing their SNAP benefits or their healthcare.
They voted MAGA to inflict misery on others. This is exactly what they wanted.

The Tories selected Kemi Badenoch as leader, thinking it would make it easier to sell a party platform almost entirely built on appeals to racist prejudices.
What they didn't consider is the type of individual who would allow themselves to be used in that way.

I don't think this is Trump 'planting seeds'. It is Trump getting progressively desperate as he sees the likelihood of his administration being burried in a landslide losing both houses leading to the start of impeachment proceedings.
The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.
(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

So here is the thing, all sorts of people are calling for boycotts of Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc. on the basis of an alleged list of donors paying for the destruction of the White House.
But what is the source of that list? The White House Staff.
Is this the real list? Trump lies constantly.

Trump is a confused, senile, old man desperately crying for help. He is demolishing the White House because he wants someone to do what he can't - remove him from office.
And meanwhile the pathetic GOP members don't have the courage to say no to Trump's demand for $230 million from the taxpayer.

The FBI doesn't just conduct random sting operations, they would only investigate Homan if someone reported him demanding a bribe.
Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

I'll tell you what is 'un-american': posting a fake video of yourself droping tons of feces on people exercising their constitutional right to demonstrate against a dictator wannabe.
KARL: You talked about anarchists, antifa advocates, the pro-Hamas wing. I mean, 'Hate America Rally' sounds like enemies.
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video & photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president. I don't think it's pro-American
