What is this sorcery?? /s

I am clearly not paranoid enough. For a while I was running an open source router inline between the network AP and the fiber to Ethernet box and running nids but the goddamn thing kept crapping out every few days so i took it back out until I can find a more stable solution.

I have plans if I can ever get around to it. I want the smart TV, printer and other shitty things on a separate network from the more trusted devices. I don’t know how yet but I would like to set up 802.1X for the trusted stuff.

Well damn that’s clever. I will have to try that.

Very cool read. I find it so fascinating to imagine day to day life in ancient times and how it isn’t all that different from today.

I had no idea, for example, that ancient Romans had restaurants. I’m not sure I would personally want to time travel just to try honey roasted rat, though.

In ancient Greece, publicly funded restaurants served certain citizens granted the privilege such as “public officials, generals, visiting government officials, and victorious athletes.”

Speaking of ancient food, I ran across an article about examining burned up food remnants from 5000 year old cookware to see what paleolithic folks ate.

“The ‘food crusts’ contained tissue remnants of emmer and barley grains, as well as seeds from the white goosefoot, a wild plant that grows as a weed and ruderal plant and produces many starchy seeds,” explains Professor Wiebke Kirleis, head of the study in the CRC 1266.

The barley was harvested when milky ripe and prepared in a similar way to the green spelt traditionally produced in Baden-Württemberg. The emmer was processed in a sprouted state, which gave the porridge a sweet flavor.

Food in the Neolithic Age was therefore by no means bland, but rather varied. People had a highly differentiated sense of taste and attached great importance to good flavor.

Not too surprising people haven’t changed much in 5 millennia.

Or sitting behind the defense table.

Propublica did an article on that.

E.g.

The reliability of bloodstain-pattern analysis has never been definitively proven or quantified, but largely due to the testimony of criminalist Herbert MacDonell, it was steadily admitted in court after court around the country in the 1970s and ’80s. MacDonell spent his career teaching weeklong “institutes” in bloodstain-pattern analysis at police departments around the country, training hundreds of officers who, in turn, trained hundreds more.

…

In 2009, a watershed report commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences cast doubt on the discipline, finding that “the uncertainties associated with bloodstain-pattern analysis are enormous,” and that experts’ opinions were generally “more subjective than scientific.” More than a decade later, few peer-reviewed studies exist, and research that might determine the accuracy of analysts’ findings is close to nonexistent.

But see, if you fix the problem then nobody will want to privatize and then my buddies cannot get more rich than they already are. --republicans, conservatives, etc.

That’s been my experience as well. I usually do top 6 or top 12.

Totally agree although sometimes Reddit was a lot more like speaking up in a bar full of angry drunks right after a group of neonazis burst in and started slap fighting everyone.

Wait there’s a C64 community? Well let’s get that party started!
