The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Some ruuvi tags ( ruuvi.com/ruuvitag/ ) in the AC inlet and outlet and I now have a nice influx graph of delta-T. A nice, straight forward, atomic project is good for the head sometimes.

My electrician ran CAT5 to my doorbell and then cut all but two pairs and just ran 24VAC on the two pairs? Anyway, turns out you can run a Reolink POE doorbell on just two pairs doing mode A POE and fast Ethernet, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

The definition of foolishness is where you have a pc psu with insufficient hold up time and you plug one line interactive ups into another line interactive ups and expecting it to improve the situation, heh.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

RIP Jim Lovell. Famously a gentleman and a nice guy, piloted the first manned orbit of the moon on Apollo 8, despite no manned mission beyond LEO before. Led his crew from the brink of death back to earth on Apollo 13. Godspeed, sir.

If your shit-ass painter gets paint on your ceiling CAT6A connectors, I’m relieved to report isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush will get the paint outta the pins.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Quoting the late John Wyndham - “The human spirit continued much as before—95 percent of it wanting to live in peace, and the other 5 per cent considering its chances if it should risk starting anything. It was chiefly because no one’s chances looked too good that the lull continued.”

I shared a barber with Anthony Hopkins for a few years. Exchanged a few silent nods.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I also added a longjmp wrapper that prints rude things in the TTY when it detects a bad RSP, for morale.
Adventures with @strags.bsky.social this week - if you longjmp with a bad rsp in your jmp_buf, the kernel by default doesn’t have stack to set up the args to your signal handler and will just up and kill your process. Exitsnoop came in real handy here. Sigaltstack was the ultimate fix.

You have to assume this thing is going to be a flying microphone.
Aside from the basic ethics and illegality, having the president ride a plane set up by a foreign power seems like a major security and intelligence risk.
