Turns out when you start spying on NPCs, they start spying on you too.
I use Weechat with Glowing Bear as a webui frontend for it, which is pretty convenient.
It's right there in the name, trade SECRETS.
Those are kept safe by legal agreements compelling secrecy, not letting most people know the secrets and other methods, but, if the secrets got out, the person who leaked it might get in trouble for breaking a legal contract or breaking and entering or whatever, but, the rest of the world would be able to legally sell things made using those recipes, but they probably wouldn't be able to reference the original company directly (ie, Crowns Chicken, now using KFCs original recipe!) ... "11 herbs and spices" is probably a term that's trademarked too, but I'm sure some marketing person would find a creative way to tell everyone.
A couple people have suggested power tools ... I'll add that whatever battery platform you wind up going with (I went with Ryobi ... good enough for my purposes), also pick up an adapter that'll use the battery and give you AC power as well. Having an adapter that'll power anything up to 150W has been a godsend.
I've also got a bunch of flashlights/lanterns that use the same batteries ... super convenient if we lose power and it's great when we go camping too.
I've got a "battery charging station" that's just a plastic shelf, when you come in from the garage and it's got the Ryobi batteries charging, but also our USB charging packs, rechargable AA/AAA/etc... batteries, and it's also where we keep a lot of the tools so it makes it easy to find things in an emergency.
-=-=-=- If your house has a sump pump but no battery backup (and I'd actually recommend the ones that are FULL replacements ... so, you'll basically have two pumps in the sump, one of which is connected to the battery system), I'd definitely recommend you getting one before you need it.
-=-=-=- For myself, my AC unit has two capacitors. One burned up the first weekend we were in the house and one burned out a couple of years later.
The first one, I didn't know anything at the time and it cost a bit more than $600 (we thought we were getting screwed [and we were], but, it was 110deg F with fans running, so, we weren't in a position to argue and the tech knew it). It's a $20 part if you just buy it online and many times it will physically deform when it breaks, so even with no knowledge you might even have a physical indication that it's broken. Go to your AC unit, give it a thorough cleaning (youtube the process) and then look up what capacitors your unit uses and buy a spare set and watch a quick video on how to replace them ... super easy. It's likely you'll pay < $40 for however many you need and you won't have to deal with a massive bill for a $20 part that you've just got to match up the ports and then move the blade terminals from one to the other AND you won't have to deal with a hot house while you wait for a replacement since you'll already have one and you'll just have to buy a replacement for your spare, but, even if that takes a month to ship, it won't be a worry.
-=-=-=- A GOOD tape measurer. I've got a great Milwaukee one that has a magnet on the tip and it also holds without bending for a decent distance and it's been glorious ... always sucks when you're trying to measure something and the tape is just flopping around not able to hold its shape.
-=-=-=- There are a lot of studfinders out there, but I've found the ones that work the best basically just have a magnet that finds the nails/screws that are holding the drywall on. Once you've found a nail, you've found the stud.
Absolutely! That's probably the best compromise to make it easier without risking something breaking or not working as expected
Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.
They've got a novella in the same universe too!
Livesuit
Yeah, that was my first exposure to her and because of it I thought she was pretty good!
Turns out that when her character was supposed to act weird and like she didn't know what was going on, it wasn't actually Gadot acting, but her lack of skill worked out for that particular movie.
I just followed their instructions and on 2 of the nodes in my cluster, I migrated all VMs/LXCs off and then did the upgrade and they went through without a hitch. For the last one, I just YOLO'd it and powered off the VMs/LXCs and upgraded it and it also went through without a hitch.
One thing I did find interesting was the systemd-boot packages needed to be removed and were on 2/3 of the machines. I basically intentionally keep their config as close to identical as possible, so I have no clue why it was only needed on 2 of them.
Lestat
After finishing Interview With A Vampire and finding out Lestat is the main character of the rest of the series, I was like "well, at least the first book was good, I don't know how I'm supposed to like a book with this douche"
Shortly afterwards: [[Arrested Development meme]] I don't care for Louis
Right‽
I'm so sorry for buying the stuff that gets me to and from work, heats my house and allows me to cook my food, I'm clearly just not dedicated enough to democracy
One of the nice things about ProxMox is that you can also set up a cluster. When OP outgrows it, they can just add a new machine to the cluster and just migrate some VMs over to it.
Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the one you already have. Is she supposed to go out and buy a new missile launcher and all the consumables that go with it when she's got a perfectly functional stinger in the garage already?
Consumer culture has gotten out of hand!
/s ... kind of???
I keep mine in 2FAS and Vaultwarden.
I saw this and was like "Is OP trying to get some ragebait? That show was great!"
Agreed, I disable sleep on all laptops other than my MacBook and my work laptop which manages to drain its battery and overheat itself on my bag semi frequently.
The MB has never had negative issues with sleep.
Funny how that is only a thing when they're running a "practically a Republican" 'Democrat' and not when someone who's actually a leftist starts getting some approval.
For anyone in IT who works in multiple tenants or with multiple clients that use the same site(s), it's an absolute gamechanger
It might help to know that Mark Twain was satirically using that word to juxtapose its offensive nature with Jim being the ONLY good adult in the book. It wasn't simply "a product of it's time" or anything like that.
I'm not saying to belt it out loud and proud while reading the book, but at the very least Mark Twain was being deliberate on his usage of it and it wasn't to be malicious and was in fact to highlight the humanity of Jim in the face of his oppression. Some will say that Twain fumbled on his execution by making Jim a characature of stereotypes, but, at least it was just mindless racism, for what that's worth.
ETA: To actually answer your question though "n-word" gives all the context you need, no need to say the word, it's history is strong enough to be fully conveyed by "n-word" in almost all contexts when being spoken by a white person especially.
The security here is the WiFi password anything that connects to LAN gets a LAN vlan tag. but it’s not like anything that connects to any of the SSIDs can get the DHCP lease of some random device on any vlan cuz it got tagged before. Or am I missing something?
That sounds accurate. I have all my devices assigned a specific IP address, based on their MAC address, but that's only per-interface. The other interfaces aren't aware of my assignments for each other.
If I connect my phone to my LAN SSID, it'll get its assigned IP, but if I connect it to the NOT [network of things, no internet access] SSID, it'll get assigned a new address out of the DHCP pool because I haven't assigned it an IP on that interface, until I assign it an IP. But, which VLAN it's connected to will determine which IP its getting, and it still requires me to know the passwords for each SSID.
I believe where you're getting confused is that a some businesses (or homelabs) might use a RADIUS server which will be more like this: ONE_SINGLE_SSID-Broadcast -> Device connects -> RADIUS Server detects account/certificate/MAC -> RADIUS Server assigns interface -> Device connects to VLAN the RADIUS server granted it access to
So, in that scenario, if the ONLY thing that's being used to validate the access is the devices MAC address, just changing the MAC address will effectively grant a completely different level of access with nothing else changing. Most people in a homelab (and even plenty of larger businesses) aren't running the infrastructure to do this though, they're just effectively connecting a VLAN to a port and then that port can only be used to connect to that VLAN. They're doing the same with the WiFi SSIDs where each SSID connects directly to the VLAN.
Usually though, for places that are implementing the RADIUS server, they'll also install a certificate on their devices and the certificate needs to be in place in order to get certain access otherwise the RADIUS server will authorize less permissive access or just won't allow access at all. Or, it'll also need a user to log in to gain additional access.
For wired, the company may also implement port locking where the port will only allow a certain amount of MAC addresses to connect (presumably one unless there is also a VOICE VLAN with a phone being used, in which case it'd be two) where if you change your MAC address (or connect a different device), the port will lock and won't power POE devices and won't allow connectivity until an admin clears the lock. It's possible that they may have multiple VLANs allowed on the port and client side you can change VLANs, but, this isn't typically done on all ports, usually only on trusted ports or ports that need the multiple VLANs (my VM server for instance has access to a port that'll allow multiple VLANs and I just enter the tag I need when I create the VM). This would be similar to your WiFi scenario, the port with the WAP connected to it will have access to multiple VLANs and then those WLANs just connect to the VLAN that they're assigned to.
TL;DR - Typically one wireless SSID connects to one VLAN and if you want to jump to the other VLAN you'd need to connect to the other SSID, so you still have the individual passwords protecting you. On wired, typically VLANs are assigned per port and you can't jump between then, but where they aren't, it should be in a planned way and not just every port having access to every VLAN. Bad implementations exist though, so, anything is possible.
Congrats on the marriage!
Thanks for these comics, they always bring me joy to see the newest one is out!
