Given that they specified “caffeinated tea” as also conferring benefit, I would guess it’s the caffeine that’s the active substance here.

Or, malicious compliance by someone with a moral compass. Best is to somehow leak documents wholesale. But if that’s not possible, I think the next best way to all but guarantee that the information gets out is to do a lousy job censoring, and let “The Internet” do the rest. It also makes the administration look even more stupid, especially in the eyes of technically minded folks.

But yeah, not the best and brightest, that’s certainly a possibility.

The model certainly works for other things — municipal broadband in the USA is often very well regarded.

They say “everything’s bigger in Texas,” but maybe that’s just because California hasn’t whipped it out until now…

But I thought they smelled bad on the outside?

No one “shatters,” “breaks,” or otherwise surpasses violates the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.

This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they’re not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.

Gosh I wonder why they’re against mail-in ballots.

Any voter in CA is eligible, and honestly, with the number of propositions and local stuff on the ballot it’s essential to do research ahead of time regardless of your political preferences. So much easier to fill it out over a few weeks IMHO.

Beware though, there may be new rules about needing it received rather than postmarked by the election date (which is obviously bullshit).

I would probably add “transmit power” in there somewhere, but I guess if you’re assuming regulatory limits then it’s not a big variable.

Global Outbreak World Response Outreach Network, perhaps?

Every so often there’s a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.

This is why that’s a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.

Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.

Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).

VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.

A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.

You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.

San Francisco’s current trolly bus fleet are from New Flyer, a Canadian company, though they use German motors.

13, without the pillow, is kinda how babies/toddlers sometimes sleep (once they can roll over).

Yeah, one of the issues I was having with running VPN on router is that you need a somewhat beefy router if you want to use your full bandwidth—my router maxes out at about 90Mbps with WireGuard, even though it can NAT around 1Gbps (which is our service).

I implemented two workarounds, one was to use my access point as a VPN router since it had a beefier CPU, and the other was to just use an ARM SBC with Linux to handle that task. (I ended up with the latter, as the former ended up maxing out at around 400Mbps, and introduced some additional headaches.)

I also have an SSID that doesn’t get VPN’d, though my DNS is always VPN’d.

As for accessing JellyFin, etc., I think we have somewhat different setups. My self hosted services are by default accessible without a VPN (SSID is on a VLAN with e.g. 192.168.0.0/24, servers are on 192.168.1.0/24, router routes between them). For the blanket VPN’d SSID I have a routing rule that routes over the main, not VPN, table, so local services can be accessed.

So: local traffic has a rule to route without VPN, reddit routes with a specific VPN, and general traffic routes with a different VPN.

There are lots of VLANs involved in my setup, and I’m sure it’s overly complicated and has gaping security issues, but it’s just a home network and it’s kinda fun :(

I have this set up on my router. My wifi is blanket tunneled through a VPN. For annoying sites that restrict access like reddit, my router routes through a specific VPN server that doesn’t (yet) get blocked (I don’t post/comment/browse, but occasionally find a post that answers a question). That way it works on my whole home network, regardless of device.

Same could be done for YouTube presumably, but maybe a little more complicated (reddit seems to work with a single /32 address).

Plus, it’s fun to set up—MikroTik router, Mullvad, and an ARM SBC doing the VPN duties for me, but myriad ways to get it working for other configurations.
