@th3j35t3r The blue team has had their heads in the sand for years, and it doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.

Younger sibling has already stated their family will be gone by election day, looks like they are down to Panama or Guatemala as the finalists. Parents have started talking about Portugal (which was a shock, usually Dad's the even-keeled one).

And we're lookin' pretty hard at Ireland or Norway.

I see folks have concerns after yesterday's debate.

I have to admit, I didn't watch it. Wasn't interested in seeing more old white dudes that ruined our planet stumble over the soundbite phrases they were prepped with.

I'm more concerned with the corporate pocket politicians that packed the Inferior Court with paid for shills who have gutted the regulatory power of agencies.

I think the biggest danger we face is the corporate, conservative agenda of the current Court.

@Render Yep, was doin' some serious grinding on Pax Dei, myself! :D

Happy Father’s / Parent’s Day to all those filling that role for someone!! 💜

*whispers* End-to-end encryption and "encrypt everything" is great for privacy.

But your antivirus/antimalware solutions also won't alert on any attacks contained in those encrypted streams. So make sure you've got clean backups and know the signs to watch out for.

@phase2 Happy Born Day! May the very best of the past year, be the very least of this next one!

@jurban My daughters have a plan if he ever shows up around here:

Wait 'til all the cultists enter the venue, and start slapping Pride stickers on as many bumpers as they can.

@Beanc Yep - and the folks I'll get a quote from did a panel replacement + whole house surge protection for us before COVID, so I know we've got room and won't need a panel extension.

@Beanc Ugh, thanks for the reminder. I want to see about getting my office on it's own circuit. With how much more power CPU's (and our laser printer) draws now vs when it was built, I figure it's a worthwhile investment. UPS with power conditioning helps a little, but "doing it right" can't hurt (well, except for the pain in my wallet!)

@Render Happy born day! I hope it's the best one yet!

@phase2 Thanks for all you do, and for sharing Render with us. Hope it's a wonderful day for you as well.

It's a f'ing gag order - at least put a temporary one in place pending motions!

She's so insecure about making any sort of decision, she refuses to make any decisions a'tall! I haven't seen "analysis-paralysis" this bad, since we had to host some ROTC cadets way back when!

The failure of Loose Cannon to act with any sense of urgency is... mind-boggling. Regarding Smith's updated filing requesting a gag/amendment of bail conditions to keep the felon from claiming the FBI wants to assasinate him, she <drumroll>... gave the felon until June 14th to respnd, and then ordered Smith to reply to the response by June 21st.

Hopefully this... utter twit's refusal to do well, anything, doesn't end up getting someone hurt or worse. 🤬

I've long been fans of Tinzo and Jojo - they're part of a small group of folks that give me hope for the future. As I'm working my way through the last of my labs, I thought I'd share one of my favorite Tinzo performances with my 'Naut family.

@KamloopsBob Guess it's a good thing that WA state is "winner take-all" state. The candidate that receives the most votes is entitled to all of WA's electoral votes.

And as of 2019, electors must agree to serve and mark ballots for the candidate of the party that designated them. If they mark a ballot for someone else or leave it blank, they are replaced by an alternate.

Another reason to love the PNW... and yes, I know the conservative wing of the Supreme Court will likely give it similar treatment to Colorado in order to protect their dear leader... but it'll be interesting to watch these cases drop once the RNC officially nominates the felon.

@sfleetucker I always liked that example! 🤓

Things that can make you pause when researching a security tool for (certain applications and) potential use:

Vendor response: "We don't see that on large, well-behaved networks."
Researcher: "Of course you don't... Your tool can't find it!"
Vendor: *crickets*

🤨

@phase2 Instacart the hell out of it!
