It’s likely just a bot. It’s a common tactic to claim an identity of authority and then make a statement. Almost always bots.

“I’m a liberal and I can’t stand x, so I’m voting for Republican!”

“I’m a doctor and because of x I don’t recommend to my patients to do y.”

They’re trying to steer public opinion with these posts. Some try to get fancy and use LLMs to make them so they’re not all identical. And so you get rediculous statements like the above. No human would vote for someone who killed their husband. Hence the disgusted reaction.

Mine is. I have one and tried. I can’t even see it. I also have a similar looking antenna at the end of my street.

My smart electric meter has a zigbee symbol on it. It’s likely a locked down encrypted proprietary network, but it’s there. I spoke to the installer and he didn’t know what it was but did say they were on their own network. Mesh makes sense too. You can have one of these pick up a neighborhood, and each house connects to all the rest. Can even be flaky, they just need it to connect once per billing cycle.

Yep, we have smart water and electric meters. I’m pretty sure these are for communicating with each house’s meter and gathering usage data.

Absolutely boycot the crap out of us.

I think they’re just keeping their heads down and not poking the bear. He’s already blindly striking out at imaginary percieved insults. They’re just riding out the next few years and hoping to not make anything worse.

Plus, it’s not their job. It’s the US’s job to clean up the bed they shit in.

I touched poision ivy once and it looked like this. If it doesn’t go away like a normal mosquito bite, might need to get it checked out so you can get the prescription cream.

Good to know, thanks.

I use Pingvin. You upload a file to it and it generates a link. Has expiration on the link.

You can allow anonymous uploads or not, give friends logins etc.

I have it locked down to just me with a login and I use it to let others download the files.

It is impossible. US states make the law, and require the websites to self-block the IP addresses within the state using geo-ip. It’s a flawed solution, but comes with the benefit of being able to sue any semi-large website for not self-blocking and the state receives free fine money. Best part is the state doesn’t actually have to do anything, just pass the law and rake in the publicity.

Oh, I’m not complaining. Shopping around zillow and looking through peoples houses is a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy the tours.

I honestly just think it’s to show off. The only houses I’ve gotten the tour of have been the really big expensive houses.

I messed around with it back in college. Had a lab where we had to make our own OS with a purpose. Lots of people made their own digital picture frame. This was back in 2005 when linux and gentoo were rougher around the edges. I tried compiling my own custom kernel. One that had only the drivers needed for my hardware. Took like 2 days per compile. After several tweaks and fixes I got the kernel to compile, but not boot.

Eventually caved and went the easy route of compiling the generic kernel because I had a deadline. I installed xfce, metasploit, nessus, wireshark, and a handful if other tools to make a knockoff kali linux for my project. It was fun, and I learned a lot.

Join a convent/monastary and spend your life in seclusion and take up an oath of silence. Or at least let people assume you took the oath and just not talk to anybody. Spend time ‘meditating’.

Yea, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were trying to make. Good action fighting scenes held loosely together by low effort excuses disguised as plot. And based on how much money the movies made, it’s hard to blame them for their decisions.

Oh, the movies have a TON of plot holes in them. But if you enjoy reading, the original trilogy is amazing. Half the reason those plot holes exist is they removed Carlos. He’s the bad guy and the entire reason everything is happening.

Did you create your own docker container, or did you use the official one?

I have the official one up and running, voice and video chat work out of the box.

Similarly - Edge of Tomorrow Emily Blunt is skilled and trains Tom Cruise until he’s competent enough to save the world. By the end they’re both extremely competent. Only reason Tom Cruise saves the world and not her is due to the timeloops. She’d already done it once.

My kids use it almost daily. Really only breaks for special events. Otherwise an update fixes all other issues.

Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.

My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.
