Worse, or… “better”?

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

Haha that’s what I was poking at. You won’t find it on tap in an Australian pub. I don’t even see it in bottle shops.

I don’t think Fosters is associated with a country. Maybe Japan or England.

On Facebook marketplace just after Christmas? A potential bargain on unopened merch, of course!

4.4 million sounds a bit excessive. Facebook marketplace intercepted my search for “unwanted gift” once and insisted I seek help. These things have a lot of false positives.

One elephant in the room is the fact that electric vehicles can wear out tyres up to 50% faster than their conventional counterparts, due to being heavier.

There is a very long list of problems with cars that get worse with weight. Yet, people insist on driving land-blimps.

It increases every single consumable in the car. Fuel, brakes, tyres, filters, oil, fluids, bearings, driveshafts, suspension… everything. It also puts additional wear on the roads they drive on, with an exponential relationship.

It also makes them far more dangerous. Worse cornering and braking, and an exponentially greater impact force when they hit something.

My 6a on GrapheneOS stopped working months ago and I’ve spent hours trying to figure out what I had changed in an attempt to fix it.

Google broke it at their end? For no reason but spite? What cunts.

I actually went past the MCG on a train while reading this…

It’s interesting that CBD traffic has dropped as the government had closed roads, removed parking, and jacked the price of existing parking to be unfeasible.

They’re pushing for more parking, but it’s in suburban homes and train stations. Most homes out my way have a 2 car garage, 3 cars, and the garage is always full of shit so the streetscape is barely navigable from all the dumped cars.

The suburbs are becoming problematic with traffic. Everyone is unbelievably lazy, and refuse to walk anywhere. I would see people leave their driveway by car in the morning and see them 5 minutes later on the train platform. I would get off the train in the evening and would be the only pedestrian that walks past the car park. Yes, I own a car. It spends less time outdoors than I do.

Australia has a DNS based solution and it’s fantastic.

And I say it’s fantastic because I’m a pirate.

People chewed gum to fix their breath after smoking tobacco, and I don’t see people doing that anymore either.

The ads never said that gum was for smokers, but it’s for smokers.

That disruption is from a 2G/GSM handset. Those networks were turned off a decade ago.

Everything exposed except NFS, CUPS and Samba. They absolutely cannot be exposed.

Like, even my DNS server is public because I use DoT for AdBlock on my phone.

Nextcloud, IMAP, SMTP, Plex, SSH, NTP, WordPress, ZoneMinder are all public facing (and mostly passworded).

A fun note: All of it is dual-stacked except SSH. Fail2Ban comparatively picks up almost zero activity on IPv6.

“That’s the neat part!”

Well, I wait until they’re in bed at about 10:30PM, then I have until about midnight to get the kitchen clean and get 6 hours of sleep before they wake up again to go to school.

Alternatively, I clean the kitchen before cooking and serve dinner at 8PM when I started at 5:30. Then it’s only 30 mins of cleaning before bed.

On Saturdays, you can clean up the kitchen after breakfast, and by the time it’s done you have to cook lunch. After that, there’s still an hour before the shops shut so you can grab some groceries and get back in time to cook dinner.

I’ve found that you’re fine as long as you pass all the SPF/DKIM steps, have an SSL cert and use your ISP’s mail relay.

The biggest issue I face is that occasionally a legit mail server refuses to support SSL/TLS and my server drops the connection. The other 99% of unencrypted mail is spam.

I’d doubt it’s collecting or transmitting much. It’s probably just estimating age, sex, race etc. and using it to decide which promotion to put on screen. It’s possibly collecting these to determine what type of people use the machine. Similar to those billboards in shopping centres.

Storing each individual to recognize later or identify online seems like a stretch.

If it did have a user bio database, it would be centralised and not on the machine itself.

My wife/kids recently got me Kirby’s Dreamland for a Gameboy that I’ve had since about 1990 and never had any decent titles for.

Testdisk and photorec? It’s saved me heaps of times.

I was thinking about estimating stopping distances and reaction times. The number of metres you cover every second becomes important then.
