I dunno why, but the "known for ReiserFS, murder" made me laugh harder than it should have.

another thing with the iPhone/Apple ecosystem is everyone having roughly the same experience for a given generation... the android platform is a wild west of varying degrees of hardware performance and capabilities. take a cheap ass carrier branded phone vs. an S23 ultra... both are running the same underlying android OS, but the carrier phone is going to be a barebones platform barely capable of running anything other than the OS... and then you factor in how well the manufacturer integrated their crapware on top of android, people willingly pay the Apple tax for a reason. personally, i'd never give up my s23u for an iPhone, but i'm also not Apple's target demographic.

98 Camry has joined the chat

Another old girl that refuses to die, but sure likes to keep me busy and my wallet empty. I'll get maybe a few weeks to enjoy the peace before something else decides it needs replacing, but luckily I do all the work myself... easy enough these days with YouTube and Toyota Camry forums.

But you have to trust the instruments and not become disoriented, takes lots of training and practice.

Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the shit tech companies are doing it.

SO and I are in engineering fields and the bumfuck midwest was a commonality in job opportunities for both our areas of study (ChemE and EE). We bought a decently sized house and 10+ acres several years ago (thank jebus... definitely couldn't afford it now) that's about 30 minutes away from the "major" town where both our companies have an office/plant, but since COVID everything is semi-work from home now... that is, until management decides they need to lay people off and force everyone back into the office.

I'll be honest, we probably aren't going to stick around here for much longer... had a kid and the daycare options are terrible and I really don't want them growing up with the regressive politics that have gotten out of control. We'll gladly take our high earning jobs and associated state income taxes somewhere else rather than subsidize the bullshit... but its been nice being to amass a sizeable savings/investments and pay off all debt before the next move.

yep, i use Cloudflare's CSAM tool to help aid in this... scans all object storage and cached items against known CSAM hashes. i don't think most people hosting instances consider this as a massive liability if it's open to the web for all to see... the feds (only talking about USA here) will shut you down or worse threaten charges if nothing is done about it.

and anyone with a decent understanding of basic IT security knew this was going to be a thing. there's a misconception among the big radio manufacturers (looking at you //) that think they're immune to the same security scrutiny as computer networks and security through obscurity is good enough... well they're dead wrong. hell, i'd argue it's even worse given the physical layer is available to anyone that has their "ears" on. give someone an RTL-SDR or HackRF with the right skill set and they'd have a field day with how insecure this stuff is. and there is a ton of legacy stuff out there that never gets updated... but no worries, let's shell out more tax payer money to upgrade their radios again because it never seems to work right the first time... hmm, I wonder why.

Just out of curiosity, when you say you "regularly pick them up", is it intelligible audio (clear voice conversations) or is it the digital modulation that's leaking over to your freqs? I don't have a good answer for the first problem since that shouldn't be possible unless there's an open patch somewhere that shouldn't be enabled, but I can 100% believe the second problem. In either case, it's poor practice from the radio maintainer of the offending system... and it's illegal regardless since their license is not valid for out-of-band transmissions and the modulation format is probably not licensed for use on those freqs. You'd be surprised, but FCC enforcement will take that very seriously.

O-rings. Lube them up so they don't leak in use/dry out in storage for my cheap-o pool, works great.
