It’s over, they have the high ground!

Yeah, not to mention Alito (IIRC) made some concurring option that basically said, don’t fucking try to make everything a class action we’ll be watching for that.

Yes, but with exceptions for class action and for administrative process act (apa) nationwide injunctions.

The idea being, if you’re a member of a class in multiple states, you should be included in the injunction for the class even if (as the majority stupidly concluded) you aren’t the person actually asking for the injunction.

On a side note, the podcast Main Justice does a good job explaining these nuances.

Edit: this doesn’t mean things are solid for the class certification. The government will no doubt appeal (potentially directly to SCOTUS) to say the class definition is too wide/invalid. It’s not normal to just call Roberts up and ask for a hearing without going through the various appellate courts first, but we’re not in normal anymore.

Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions… 😠

For another interesting take on privacy in the future, take a look at Brian K Vaughn’s The Private Eye graphic novel.

In that world, everyone’s privacy was lost “when the cloud burst”, revealing every private kink, writing, messages, etc for everyone including the rich and powerful. The response was a hard turn towards absolute privacy via avatars.

Plus the art style is great.

Honestly? This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he’s not “helping”.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

Is there something on your wishlist that’s on discount?

Shit, indeed actually got me a job once, and I’m starting to look again after 8 years.

Noclip Crew did a quick look for this: https://youtu.be/jeiKOdka6DA

It looks good!

I’ve been meaning to add his patreon. I have too many as it is and need to call a bit, but I just feel guilty about it.

It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).

Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?

Also works on dog hardware running cat software.

I would get multiple drives and do RAID. Here’s a helpful calculator to figure out drive quantity, size, and configuration. The reason to do RAID is redundancy. Hard drives will fail (even NAS branded drives). You do not want your photos, media, etc to be lost in that case. I personally do not go with anything below RAID5 (and for super sensitive things, I’ll even go RAID6 - despite the hit on overall capacity. If the optiplex has drive capacity for multiple drives, I strongly recommend you go this route.

John Bolton is fucking pissed he doesn’t have a good seat for this.

My 75 year old dad got a tick bite and ignored it for three days of fever over 101, no appetite, and severely weak before finally getting antibiotics.

He doesn’t believe in global warming.

I thought final destination had death chase folks who had a vision of an impending accident and they used that foreknowledge to avoid their fate? To be fair, I haven’t seen any other than the first one, and that was through my fingers. (I am not a brave man)

Okay, then I’m thinking your router/NAT maybe causing the problem. Typically, your ISP won’t block subdomains for dns, they may outright block Source NAT (SNAT), but if you could get through via the IP, you should be good to go.

An easy way to check is to visit a site like this and check for port 443: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/. You don’t need to be on the server that’s hosting your portfolio, just any thing that’s on the same network as your portfolio (something behind your external router)
