Yup, it’s interesting how so many of these universal ID for voting laws don’t also include an easy, convenient, and free means for all citizens to get IDs.

Do a search for you server OS + STIG

Then, for each service you’re hosting on that server, do a search for:

Service/Program name + STIG/Benchmark

There’s tons of work already done by the vendors in conjunction with the DoD (and CIS) to create lists of potential vulnerable settings that can be corrected before deploying the server.

Along with this, you can usually find scripts and/or Ansible playbooks that will do most of the hardening for you. Though it’s a good Idea to understand what you do and do not need done.

Looks like a “super automatic” espresso machine.

It grinds the whole beans and typically they also have a doser (measures the weight or quantity of the ground up coffee beans), then it tamps the grounds, brews the coffee (which is some at a specific temperature and pressure), then ejects the used up coffee puck in a bin in the bottom of the machine.

The mechanism for the automatic tamping, brewing (with pressure valve) and ejection is one very complicated piece as well as the controls for the motor that operates it. Then there’s the temperature and pressure controls for both the brewing of the coffee and the milk frother the machine likely has.

More like unexpected new features, like the all new spontaneous exit row!

The surprising part is the price. Baby colognes have been in a thing in other countries (the ones I’ve seen have a lemony scent). Example:

For a taste of the Blame! universe you can also check out the movie (on Netflix).

That said the manga is really good, but with incredibly little dialog.

Nihei also wrote Knights of Sidonia.

If I remember it right, Nihei studied to become an architect, and it shows in the Mangas he’s written and drawn.

There was a nod to that in the first movie when he was in his cave reading Flash comics.

Also shop around for mortgage lenders (hint: credit unions) that will give you a break on the mortgage insurance if you put down at least 5% down.

Indeed. I did something like I mentioned above + we replaced the master bathroom carpet (yuck) with tiles for pretty cheap. In return we locked in a 1 year rent reduction to recoup our costs and 2 years at a low rate.

It worked out for everyone. We didn’t have to live with disgusting bathroom carpets, the place looked nicer for the rest of our rental period, it let us save money to put a down payment on a house, and we didn’t have the temptation to move to a “nicer looking” place and spend money and time on moving again.

In the end, the landlord got back a place that was more attractive to future renters.

The key is to ensure your landlord is a decent person (they exist). Ours only had the one house they were renting (used to be their house before they bought a new house in a better school district and decided to rent vs sell).

If it’s a large holding company that is known to screw over tenants? Yeah fuck them, do the bare minimum and move out.

The way to do it is to work in either a rent decrease for X months for the work and materials or lock in a low rent for X years based on the work being done.

Another alternative is to do the above and get the landlord to supply the materials.

I’ve done it in the past and it has worked out well though usually for minor things (like replacing generic doorknobs with nicer looking ones, replacing a toilet with a better flushing one, or installing a ceiling fan).

Adding insulation to the attic if it’s missing in spots can also make sense to do if you’re paying the utilities. Though again I would get the landlord to at a minimum to pay for materials or discount it from the rent.

If the upgrades are things that will help make the unit more marketable when you move out, then they’d be dumb to turn it down.

You can switch between all the different possible orders and season breakdowns and not make Hulu Season #11.

By broadcast, the first 4 produced seasons were broadcast as 5 seasons with weird breaks (Typical Fox).

Example, season 1 was produced as 13 episodes, Fox aired 9 episodes, then aired the last 4 episodes of season 1 as the first of season 2.

This is the reason why Plex season 2 episode descriptions are off by about 4 episodes if you ripped your DVDs but play them through Plex.

The fox run ends with “The Devils hands are idle playthings”

The Comedy Central run starts with “Rebirth”

Between the two there were 4 movies which are broken down into 16 episodes for broadcast.

I can’t make it make sense…

4 Fox (production) seasons + 1 season with the 4 movies + 3 Comedy Central Seasons = 8 pre Hulu seasons making the Hulu season #9

Hulu season is #8 if you don’t count the DVD season

Hulu Season is #9 if with Fox 5 aired seasons + DVD + 3x CC

Counting each DVD as a season (which seems very wrong) makes it either 12 or 13.

The view and season order I go by:

Intel said that the deal was terminated “due to the inability to obtain in a timely manner the regulatory approvals required under the merger agreement.”

The deal required approval from a number of regulators worldwide, including those in China. Chinese regulators failed to approve the deal by a deadline Wednesday, even after Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger traveled to China last month in a bid to win them over.

There’s even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:

"I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote

"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”

"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.

While not not necessarily required by code, a drain pan + a leak sensor in the pan are useful in mitigating potential disasters.

Doesn’t have to be fancy either, they make smart leak sensors or basic ones that are just ear piercingly loud.

Any org that deals with sensitive info should

1. Ensure that emails going outside the org go through additional scrutiny.

2. The user should have to validate the sensitivity of the email and attachments so the system can deny passing them to untrusted networks.

3. Use PKI to encrypt important messages so only the recipients can unencrypt them

4. Use domains that are entirely separated from the internet for military sensitive stuff (NIPR Net, SIPR, JWICS, etc). Those won’t route to the open internet in other countries for any reason.

Pfft, real upscale bidets also have lights, background music, and spray your bottom with your choice of scent when it’s done (Cherry, Vanilla, or New Car Smell).
