It’s not blocking a DNS server, it’s using DNS to block their specific servers.

It’s in the article.

Late '80s. We would coordinate who would buy which cassette album and then go to the person’s house with the best “dub” deck and make copies. There was 2x and maybe even 4x copy speed but the quality would suffer. Usually good enough for our shitty car stereos though. 90 minute tapes could normally get an album on each side. IIRC the high quality blanks were about $1.50 each if you bought a 10 pack. $8 for a tape of a regular band or something older like Led Zeppelin, $12 for a brand new hit album.

Making mix tapes for your crush was HUGE at the time. Hey, if I can’t write poetry at least I can make her a cassette of love songs, right?

Hm, I haven’t looked into it at all, just saw the headline. Big oof if true.

I think you will find that NYC hasn’t been sensible for decades. Mamdami claims to have reduced the deficit to zero and permanently funded libraries already, so maybe he can turn that juggernaut a bit.

I hate Flock and the “security state” as much or more than anyone but why would you care if They (big T) knew you were pulling into your workplace? That’s the least amount of concern for me. They (big T) already know I’m at work so what do I care if my plate is recorded going into the parking lot?

The Flock cameras on your commute are a problem but the ones at the gate are inconsequential IMO

which would shut down components on its own to safeguard the probe, requiring recovery by the flight team — a lengthy process that carries its own risks.

Uhhh… how the fuck are you planning on recovering it?

I really gotta see this racoon gif

And really, when was the last time some megacorp tried to access userdb on any machine?

We can train our NI (Natural Intelligence) models.

Damn, sorry you got stalked. I actually knew some dudes that did that to another guy. I did tell them it was fucked up and they were fucking dweebs for doing it, I don’t think it ever escalated to a beating. We were all “rink rats” that hung around at the local ice rink. I was in a junior league with a couple of the guys doing the taunting (not the head goon, he was just useless). I never hung around with those assholes once they started riding around in that guy’s car.

So if you’re not using the normie OS you’re a criminal? That’s so very fucked up.

What the fuck? I saw that Colorado wanted to implement something like this but really, how do you enforce it? Is it illegal to install Linux now? Even if you enforce it at the login for Windows, what’s to keep someone from installing a browser that doesn’t recognize the curfew?

It’s like these motherfuckers think everyone just “goes online” with their phones and the vertical software stack those entail. And then, what about GrapheneOS?

Welcome to Costco, I love you

First I’ve heard of it, dude. Don’t get your knickers in a twist.

PoE, no wifi for me. The DVR is in the rack, I keep meaning to back it up to a cloud account of some sort but haven’t gotten around to it so if you break into my house and steal the NVR I won’t have a record of you being there.

I chose Reolink. AFAICT it’s not leaking anything outside my network and it’s fairly inexpensive. Not as cheap as the subsidized Ring brand but hey, at least I own them.

Seems like as long as your server is “teen appropriate” they won’t have to verify.

Huh, where’s that?

Last data center I was on outside Cheyenne, WY there were about 100 iron workers from Texas doing their thing.

They need more training

edit: I’m done with this. It’s obvious that the people arguing with me have no idea what construction work is like.
