clean cuts - thanks for the tldr.

well, peeps. its been a “fun”(for the least charitable definition of the word) ride.

naked mafia in the wh with really expensive toys to use against its foreign mafia peers never really sounded like a fun time but, hey… here we are. I mean, executing economic hit jobs on europe (the latest one is ballsy) and birthing a trump lead neo-axis vs whatever is left of the world. impressive shot.

I dunno, will there be a flash of intellectual and emotional reflection just before the state round exits the front - or perhaps just the flash and an afterwind.

I think I’ll go hug some people more.

and a nice set of silver bracelets.

forearm position in that capture is about half an inch away from “crush the trachea” compliance and a mile away from “control the head, neck and blood supply” compliance. this is battery with intent to cause severe bodily harm.

as OP indicates, its a rough read - but worth your time and sharing. thanks OP.

i would have guessed a null modem adaptor, cuz - why the hell not! but… assuming the USB to serial is a typical DTE (M) then the 9pin to 25pin would likely be (F) to (M), but the potato markings on the mystery adaptor seem to suggest M/M… so… 🤷‍♂️

your breakout box suggestion is a reasonable one.

KiB for FTW :-)

been using it for years now when i need to be precise. colloquially, everyone i know still understands that contextually, K is 2^10

but at least it is what it says on the tin. no pretense. prepare accordingly.

Kratsios, 39, cut his teeth in the world of private industry, spending much of his early career at Thiel Capital, a venture capital firm founded by Silicon Valley stalwart Peter Thiel.

jfc, not this vampire again.

there are long standing radicals on the .ml instances, to be sure. I would place the bulk of the current lemmy.ml userbase between Democratic Socialist and Social Democrat (with a strong, vocal splash of authoritarians mixed in there somewhere).

lemmygrad.ml and hexbear are often otherworldly - interesting to watch, ocassionally interesting to engage, but always entertaining if you can pick out the salient arguments from the confusion. love federated systems :-)

probably too much of a sweeping generalization there. I would say (with zero evidence other than my interactions) that after the great reddit migration, those who might say this are likely in the minority.

I cannot defend this other than “the feels”, but hey… I think lemmy.ml got moderated a little with the influx of cooler heads.

Make their spouses lose their job for being an ICE spouse

I suspect a non-trivial percentage of the spouses may be victims in abusive reltionships - the loss of employment could make it harder to extract themselves and their kids from the situation.

make their kids ask uncomfortable questions.

as long as the kids are not harrased and they start asking because daddy is a piece of shit? 100% 👍

Make their neighbors avoid them

ab-so-fucking-lutely!

eyeballs that can be verified remain important, yes. however, privacy and pseudo-anonimity are equally important.

most sites use JavaScript to restrict access. Firefox (or its siblings) extensions like noscript are not only useful for bypassing many js walls, but also for general web hygine. noscript is your friend.

its how the magic is kept alive.

Tor FTW. 100%

Firefox and noscript. indispensable.

The pre-charged kits

congrats on the installation! had not heard about of these before, but makes sense. so many questions…

are we talking a 100% closed, pre charged system with both units charged - no drying or long prep needed? anything special to do between the compressor and the air handler on final connection? with supplied gear, how did everything work for you in routng lines and positioning the air handler and compressor units?

have been thinking of adding a minisplit to my server room as additional/failure-state cooling and would usually want to use a pro for the work, but this is intriguing.

again, nice detail oriented weekend work!
