I was going to say, coal remains around 1/3 of our electric generation worldwide (as of 2022): https://www.statista.com/statistics/269811/world-electricity-production-by-energy-source/

Coal can’t be reused, created, or otherwise obtained outside of mining. Until we remove our dependency on coal, mining will continue.

I’ve heard that before but really wonder if it’s true. My last encounter with (I believe Mormons though it’s been a LOT of years ago) was while we were eating dinner. The front door was open with the glass storm door closed. They came to the door, knocked, then stared at us while we were eating dinner as a family. We stared back and they proceeded to knock another 3 times before leaving. I mean, regardless of what you are at the door for that’s just rude as fuck so how would they expect a nice response?!

For me it’s anyone that comes to my doorstep trying to sell something (including religion). To get to that point you have to walk past TWO “no soliciting” signs. That makes the person blind, incompetent, or both.

I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I’ll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!

Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.

Him and his buddies must have large investments in commercial real estate. I can’t possible think of another reason why he would willingly tank the company. Make as many short-term gains as possible then bail.

I tried to snag one and the page just hung trying to submit the order. :(

Definitely more dramatic than I expected, but yeah it was only a matter of time. Rather surprised it took at long as it did really.

I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t the original announcement. I figured it would just move to a paid feature. Maybe the initial tweet (or whatever the fuck we call an X) was just to get attention.

I hate how “hack” is used for any kind of breach. This is 100% credential re-use or a shit password:

The attackers appear to be using leaked credentials or brute-forcing to attempt to take control of a large number of LinkedIn accounts.

And

For accounts that are appropriately protected by strong passwords and/or two-factor authentication, the multiple takeover attempts resulted in a temporary account lock imposed by the platform as a protection measure.

That’s not to say LinkedIn isn’t a steaming pile of garbage, but to say this is a “hack” is disingenuous.

If there was a paid service that did the same I would happily pay for it.

This is what the OG Netflix was. It solved the delivery issue Gabe has so famously talked about. I stopped pirating when Netflix launched and used it for years. Then every company had to splinter out their own streaming service taking a reasonable monthly fee back to cable prices and a fragmented ecosystem. I’ve gone back to solving the delivery issue with a $60 a year VPN and piracy. Am I proud about it? Absolutely not. Am I going to continue until there is a better answer? 100%. We’ve gone SIGNIFICANTLY backwards from where Netflix started.

And yes, I get I can subscribe to services here and there then drop them but that still comes back to the delivery issue. I have to actively manage services and make sure I cancel them when I don’t need them anymore. This is a huge inconvenience and not something I have a desire to try and manage. Give me back my OG Netflix dammit!

Where I used to work we had an FM200 system that I was always super-careful around. If I even thought there was a chance I could set it off I would disconnect the firing pin then leave my car keys there so I couldn’t leave without re-connecting it. They company that installed it said the sensors are looking for “fine particulate matter” so even things like drywall dust could set it off.

You should be smarter going forward. There is ZERO chance this is the end. Film companies are going to keep trying this shit over and over again hoping to get a bite. And it seems with the splintering of streaming services coupled with price increases lots of previous pirates are returning to their old habits.

Secondary pro tip, some cars (honda for sure) you can triple press the unlock button then hold it and all the windows will go down. So even if you forget to leave them cracked you can use this while you are close to your car to quickly vent the heat. Will open the sunroof too if you have one!

Probably not. May go hiking with my dad tomorrow if the weather isn’t too bad. Otherwise just hanging out around the house like most weekends, lol.

Ghost in the Wires

Yes

Just simple old rsync. The nas at the far-end is an old QNAP I had lying around.

Local backup to my Synology NAS every night which is then replicated to another NAS at my folks house through a secure VPN tunnel. Pretty simple and easy to deploy.

Seriously, the graveyard is pretty extensive: https://killedbygoogle.com/
