You knew the right words to say, and said them to keep me, but never meant them. While I struggled to find the right words, but I always meant them when I said them. Then you knew exactly what words would hurt me the most, and you said those, too. And still I looked for the right words to say.

I need more normal hobbies... rather than screwing with fake job scammers... (848) 247-9458 if anyone else wants to screw with them and waste their time (and hopefully save them from talking to people who will fall for it)

I need better hobbies than fucking with scammers...

For Science! 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥼🥽

Two less Hue light strips, one more direct Zigbee to Home Assistant LED strip controller. Replacing things as they wear out or annoy me. I wish I started doing that before I replaced the old Hue strips, the newer ones are a bit more reliable, so it might be a while... Same for the bulbs...

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

They hate the "Shadow Government" so much they... Uh... Created a shadow government to dismantle public services. Wait... Wut...?

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

I hate WiFi. Also, related, I hate concrete. Use Ethernet whenever possible, and WiFi only when you have to.

If you’re a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as “amended” so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

again this is a full scale attack on constitutional government

Live feed from inside my brain today:

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Let's talk about resistance when the tyrant is in power. Sharing a blog-formatted version of my thread using this odd little yellow building in Florence to look at resistance that still worked *after* the conquest, and the power of slowing the shifting baseline: www.exurbe.com/6014-2/

There is only one acceptable situation for doing a Nazi salute or wearing a Nazi uniform.... And that's if you're an actor in a movie about kicking the shit out of the Nazis. I mean... someone has to play the Nazis, right? Outside of that? Nope. Not ever.

Gonna share to try and boost this.... but mega-thread of bugs/issues and missing features from trying to run Dual-WAN with dyndns and IPSec tunnels between 3 sites with @ubiquiti.bsky.social: community.ui.com/questions/Ex...

Y'know... if you told me 5 years ago that I would end up identifying with and relating to "narcissist survivor" relationship memes... I'd've called you a liar. And yet... here I am, and it has kinda been the theme over the last year and a half as I've slowly realized what I had gone through.

Don't let shame or overwhelm stop you from taking a few basic steps to protect yourself and your community. Maybe you've used your cats name for your password on everything for years. All your shit is on social media. You get stressed out about tech stuff. It's all good. You're not alone. 🧵

Trump revoking security protections for people he doesn't like or who oppose him politically sure seems like a "I'm not telling you to assassinate this person but.... I'm not going to stop you, either" kinda moment... Wonder if he's going to start revoking pardons, too. Fucking fascist bullshit.

Not only do I have dashboards monitoring the IPSec tunnels between my network, my parents' network, and my brother's network.... I also have Pagerduty setup for I'm alerted when they go down... Have I gone too far? 😅

You may have always cared about surveillance, maybe you care more today than you did yesterday... Either way, you should check out and save this Surveillance Self-Defense Guide from our trusted friends at the @eff.org ssd.eff.org

Trans right are human rights.

SCAM ALERT! Definitely, do not, under any circumstances, call this number! It's a scam! And DEFINITELY do not call them just to lead them on and waste their time.

New "wtf" for IoT devices. I wasn't even looking for this one, but noticed it.... Google Home devices (Hub and Mini) will make DNS requests to Google DNS (and ignore local DNS from DHCP)... but then when the response comes in, send ICMP port unreachable.

Regex isn't hard, it's `m/\b(?:[eE])(?:a)(?:s)(?:y)\b/`

Just finished 33 of these. Got an NFC chip in them with a VCARD. Had some fun with fuzzy walls for the outside and a Hilbert curve for the top layer for texture. More fun than your standard business card.

I will leave you all with this for now. Don't worry about what other people think. Say what you want to say. Do what you want to do. People will judge you no matter what. If they don't like you they can fuck all the way off. They are not your people. Not everyone will be. You don't want everyone.

Oh, I forgot to mention! I finally merged in the GUI branch of my Network Simulator after doing some documentation cleanup (and moving a lot of it into the Wiki). Still need to rework the tutorials for the GUI, though... And a lot more work in general... But still! github.com/brwyatt/Netw...

Welp. This is gonna haunt my nightmares now...
