They've got us fighting a culture war so we won't start a class war. We are being played.

If you ever wonder if @matterhackers.bsky.social cares about the common maker, let this be your wake up call that they only care about their bottom line. AMS 2 units are out of stock everywhere, except at MH, who is charging $599 PER UNIT (retail is $359.) Price gouging mother fuckers.

He’s abrasive for sure, but his points are valid in my mind.

I think I’ve finally figured out my BIGGEST pet peeve: When you order something online, get a tracking number a couple of minutes later, but then it sits at the warehouse for days and days until getting picked up. If you print the label, it should go out same or next day. Period.

I went through my pour-over phase, my aeropress phase, my espresso only phase... Now I'm in my "I'm 41 and don't have time for this crap, just give me coffee!' phase. :)

I wasn't bashing your post. I was just pointing out how some people may give you some overly complex instructions for a pour over. Like 'Let it bloom for 30 seconds' and 'Make sure to use a goose neck kettle and pour in a counter-clockwise direction' etc.

Just looked over the Wiki article for it. I guess they've expanded the definition since I went through my cybersecurity training. 🤷‍♂️

This technically still fits under the 'Social Engineering' category of cyber attacks. MitM attacks are usually perpetrated on the network level using a rouge DHCP or poisoned DNS server to intercept and redirect traffic from clients. This is more of a complex spear phish attack.

Depends on how much of an insufferable A-hole you want to be about it. Honestly, you can just put coffee in the top and pour hot water over it and you'll be good. However, the community of 'pour-over enthusiasts' will rip you a new butt hole for not doing it 'properly'.

Well, was going to stream tonight but severe weather is moving into the area. If it doesn’t last long I’ll do a short stream after. If I can’t stream tonight then we’ll do one tomorrow to make it up.

I mean, I can’t fault the guy for wanting to date you. However, a freak out over not getting what you want is never the sign of a healthy personality. Self-control is the toughest discipline to master.

Wow. Dallas just straight up folded during that third period.

I did the same thing to one of my Intel machines. 11th gen i7 K processor. Never bothered to OC it when It was my main PC. Turned it into a streaming PC and OC'd it up to 5.1GHz with a liquid cooler.

BIOS Updates make a Schrodinger's PC: It's simultaneously bricked and working at the same time until it's finished.

LibreNMS. It's good enough for what I need for basic monitoring. You can configure hosts as simple as to use ICMP to monitor up/down state or you can go SNMP and get port details, uptime, sensor states, etc. It's open source as well, which is nice.

Well balanced first period. That was impressive PK with two down by the Ducks. Jet's don't need this win, but with a tma they really should have sunk one. :/ Hats off to Husso.

I use it about 1/16th of the time. Just because I need to argue something stupid.

BlueSky is my place of Zen. I don't argue here or try to cause any 'ruckus'. However, over on X... That's my fight club. If you see some 'A-holeish' posts/replies from me over there, just know it's where I go to vent and get out a little frustration. It's about all that platform is good for anymore.

The majority of Americans don't know that China has hoarded our cash for decades. All of this posturing by this administration is meant for the uneducated populous (which, unfortunately, is the majority in this country at the moment.)

If only... We need to stop relying on the idea that there is justice in any form of an afterlife we may conceive of. Justice must be dealt out here and now. If religion is wrong and we just cease to exist after death, then they get away with it. We make our own justice. We make it here and now.
