Everyone you love is gone. There is only ice cream.

This is one of the reasons why I set up a Wireguard VPN connection to my home network, and an on-demand VPN connection on my phone that automatically turns on anytime I’m not on the home network. Even away from home I get the benefits of my Pi-hole+Unbound (running as recursive resolver) setup.

Almost wish the guy would find it so this non-news story would stop making the rounds every few weeks with no new details. Doesn’t even tickle my sense of schadenfreude anymore.

Was about to ask in amazement who would still be fucking this man, but sounds like they’re great for each other.

It was one of the main city schools, so I suppose they could have been. That place was a shithole, otherwise, despite the best efforts of some really good teachers with the misfortune of being stuck working there.

That, plus a school computer lab running without something like Faronics Deep Freeze (even my shitty Mississippi public school in the 90s had that or something similar), and the lack of permissions control that apparently allows student users to delete and restore program files at will is giving the story some real “that happened…” energy.

Since suggestions in the comments are just words of apologists, do you have a proposal for a solution, or is this just a rant post?

All I’m getting right now is a vague idea of some Master GUI that resembles the cockpit of a commercial jet that no “average user” is ever going to try and decipher, anyway.

Yay! Sportsball!

Pass the nachos.

Coincidence. Pilots didn’t suddenly forget how to fly just because Trump became president.

For fuck’s sake, the protesters are there to tell you to do your jobs! Quit the token gestures of solidarity and fucking do something!

That part I think I understand. Capitol buildings tend to be kinda empty during the weekend.

I’m seeding the CDC datasets that were posted about a day or two ago. I’ve still got some terabytes to spare, though - are there any other datasets floating around out there that need to be backed up?

This event would have faired a lot better if it had any sort of actual organization and a core team of organizers to answer questions and provide solid information. All of my friends who would have been interested in an event like this decided to avoid it because there just wasn’t enough information for it to not seem “sketchy,” and something so poorly organized was likely to only draw small groups of supporters, thus reducing the “safety in numbers” that protesters would greatly benefit from against a crowd of fascist police and anti-protesters.

Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.

Given that they started unbanning some of these, $20 says these dumbasses plugged in a new “AI mod” without testing it first.

Would be nice if he fucked the system enough that they couldn’t even accept payments - for the first time I owe federal taxes this year, about $300+.

The tiling effect doesn’t seem very appealing.

Seeding both for good measure, and tucking those away into the Extended Seed folder on the NAS.
