Its been a couple of months but I don’t remember that requirement…

I love their switches but for routing/firewall I stick to PFSense.

Personally I use OpenWRT for access points.

HDtracks.

That being said if you’re buying FLACs from major labels for $40 while indie bands release albums in FLAC via band camp for $3, you’re a chump.

The members of Led Zeppelin that are still alive don’t need the money nearly as much, and even if they did most of it isn’t going to them anyways.

Most redditors and twitter users where too lazy to make the jump because the idea of more than one instance is somehow confusing.

The ones who even knew are the ones who are usually considered more computer literate than the average bear, since most people don’t know what fediverse is.

Lower your bar.

A pirated copy of Win 10 LTSC, since it’s the only version you should a been tunning any who.

Fuck dual booting. Virtualize that shit.

Glad my FreeIPA infra runs on rocky.

Redhat can suck my girlcock.

Bought judges belong against a wall, so that we can pick them last in dodgeball.

What are you, some sort of fucking fundie?

Old industry shit sure, but honestly the way independent models work over things like of and fansly puts that power (for the most part) back where it belongs.

While you are beholden to your platform, its not like its that hard to jump ship either.

No I just wasn’t educated enough to understand how they where profiting off of this enough to destroy its credibility even further (somehow.)

I didn’t think weapons sales was enough to cover it, but hey, money talks.

At this point it doesn’t even make sense from an imperialistic prospective.

America is making itself look weak by not reigning in its attack dog. As callous and evil as this sounds: war genocide costs money, and you’re wasting our shit.

Yeah but it was a luxury, and most likely an RX-only unit that only had a GPS radio. Even if you had a 2g cell radio in the 90’s in your car it’d be incredibly limited, and horrendously expensive for something you could carry in your pocket.

These days even the cheapest model of Honda Civic will have a modern internet connected network of microcontrollers and computers which all receive OTA updates, many of which handle telemetry.

You also have to assume that your government has never illegally obtained data it shouldn’t have in a shady manner.

It also doesn’t bode well for what happens if your country falls into fascism, as all that data will still exist to be systematically, and retroactively used against you.

The former is true, however anyone who’s ever looked at firewall logs will tell you plenty of skids are trying to get free domestic US IP addresses off of vulnerable home networks using automated means.

That being said that has really has jack shit to do with personal privacy/security against state-scale dragnet surveillance.

If you have a device that’s actively connected to a cellular network, and has been while in your home or work, then your only option is to leave it behind or turn it off. That includes your car if it was made in the past decade, if nothing else, so it can catch OTA firmware updates, and send telemetry data.

GPS and location services don’t mean shit when your carrier keeps logs of where you’ve been based on cell-tower triangulation.

I’d just like to think we’re collectively more tasteful than that is all.

(Even if it isn’t true :p)

For some real fun, try for all three at once!

I mean I’ll take it over being burned alive or brutally eaten alive by a pack of ravenous wolves.

No most millennials are also too lazy because they stopped giving a shit about computers when it stopped being a requirement to use the internet like 10-15 years ago because smartphones.

Most who did haven’t in at least a decade, and wouldn’t unless you put a gun to their head.

For some reason the vast majority of people seem to just want to ignore the machines that literally run our society, and its fucking maddening.

FFS the amount of people who I work with in IT and even then don’t really give a shit about their daily computing is absolutely fucking baffling.

Its really just a smattering of people from all ages who actually know how to use a computer because they’re actually interested in doing so.
