Possibly crows, they did this to me once. I heard them pretending to be my mom, who was not home, but fed them accidentally and talks to them when they show up. Seemed like they did it to trick another crow into flying to check for food, then laughed at him.

Very bizarre that the article didn't touch on it.

The comment didn't explain it entirely but I figured all these domains pointed to a hosted content management system somewhere. Then that domain either expired or it was CNAMEs the whole way down to some "cloud" providers' default generated DNS (eg nvidia-hosted-cms.azurewebsites.net). Or they all used the same CMS which had an exploit developed for it.

I don't know if anything Kennedy said can be used to defend our system, which ultimately killed him because the gangsters running it felt their bottom line being threatened. But yeah even conceding the premise to him, it's not impressive that the West amassed such a fortune over centuries of colonizing the planet that they could terrorize people with arms escalation, manage to pay their skilled workers for a few decades, and bribe ones from the rest of the world to migrate.

Went right out and grabbed Classics again, unheard since 04 Jul 2014

For the HLS that Starship is allegedly supporting, it's a pretty big miss since the timeline from the bidding process. I remember as of 2020 they were supposed to be doing an uncrewed lunar landing in Q1 2024. So far they've missed all the milestones and haven't actually completed one yet (HLS test launch Q2 2022, Q4 2022 Propellant transfer test, Q2 2023 Long duration flight test, Q3 2023 Critical design review, Q2 2024 Design certification review, Q1 2025 HLS Launch)

They haven't even tested it with cargo, right? I'd love to see them try with the 100T of cargo they're hoping for (because then they only need like 15 Starships launches to fuel one in orbit to go to the moon....) Can't recover the 2nd stage, just plummets back and explodes when it doesn't explode on the way up.

I would run the tunnel from the local travel router (just another GL iNet one I guess) to your US wireguard server, and make sure nothing can route anywhere if that tunnel drops!

Disconnecting the antennas is undetectable remotely, but the card will still sometimes pick up signals I think. Maybe a non-conductive faraday cage/bag/material can be wrapped/taped around it to make the odds very low.

Removing the card entirely can theoretically trigger a TPM holding eg BitLocker keys to reset and make the drive unable to be decrypted without the recovery key. Save your recovery key within the OS if it'll let you. If you can't, from my research it doesn't seem like TPMs generally reset over Wi-Fi cards going missing.

I'd remove the Wi-Fi card. Then use a travel router to bridge any Wi-Fi network you need to use and connect to the laptop via Ethernet.

WiFi databases are a pain in the ass. For me the path of least resistance was leaving the laptop in the US with a KVM (PiKVM) to control it I had to use a home automation finger robot to access the power button in case of a hard reset being required and left an emergency way back in over an LTE. I'd had 8 hours of video calls in (then) 5 years working there so wasn't worried about any of that. My microphone for meetings was Droidcam, I was in a position to install that on the laptop, and route to it "locally" over the same wireguard setup from my phone as I used to access the PiKVM.

Sounds like your laptop is not very locked down, if you can attach any old USB device to it. If I were reattempting this today I'd probably go with the travel router as mentioned. Maybe if there's an open USB Wi-Fi card we can hack it to always show a fake Wi-Fi list + real nearby networks added manually.

I think it's fine as-is.

The WWW is plenty big. There's risks in everything. My risks when donating make paypal a nonstarter, worst case for me is probably someone unfortunately winding up in a situation that makes the cops look at me. I don't want that. Monero and a venmo account I've acquired which can be funded anonymously.

Nah never, and I vape ~3g of bud every day and eat at least 2.5g of the previous day's.

Alcohol is so much worse. Not even with concentrates... Weed is not shrooms, LSD, or DMT...

My friend always got bad panic attacks when he used weed and had to lie down, later we learned he has a family history of schizophrenia.

Seriously, I just told a story at my sister's about a formative memory of mine - wherein she swore off men forever, so I knew her husband must've done something right. Just should be positive and personal.

I wonder if he ever regrets getting it uppercased tho
