Also a convicted rapist found responsible in a civil rape trial.

Pedants.

The lawful/chaotic axis represents a person’s willingness to follow an external set of rules against their own instincts or opinions. Having a pocket judge or a pocket president to legitimize one’s actions does not make that person lawful.

Long live King Pidoop.

Considering the abhorrent acts of the self-titled GoOd chRisTiANs, if heaven is where they end up, it couldn’t not be fucked up.

Imagine going to a mechanic because the engine is acting up and getting hit with “Your ignition timing is too retarded, it’s killing the engine” without the necessary context.

(to advance/retard ignition is the correct terminology for setting the timing ahead/behind top dead center; also used in aviation for moving the throttle levers towards a higher/lower power setting)

What if you try reaching it through your public IP?

Stupid question, but is the service reachable at all? What if you map 81 to 81? Or whichever port the other, confirmed-to-work service uses? What if you map that other service to 8100?

It’s based on hole punching, but with extras. The clients punch a hole in their respective firewalls then the service connect the holes so the clients end up communicating directly with each other. They have a lengthy blog post about NAT traversal.

Tailscale. It does some UDP fuckery to bypass NAT and firewalls (most of the time) so you don’t even need to open any ports. You can run it on individual hosts to access them directly, and/or you can set it up on one device to advertise an entire subnet and have the client work like a split tunnel VPN. I don’t know about OpenWRT, but both pfSense and OpnSense have built-in Tailscale plugins.

People are freaking out about their plan to go public, but for the moment, it’s a reliable, high quality service even on the free tier.

I’ve also used Ngrok and Twingate to access my LAN from outside, but they simply use relay servers instead of Tailscale’s black magic fuckery.

Fuck university. Pick up a trade and get industry certifications. You’ll end up with real marketable skills without going into crippling lifelong debt. Some training agencies also offer help to find jobs. If you get lucky, your employer might even sponsor your education.

Tradie life is not glamorous, but it’s better than working as a cashier while having a bachelor’s.

Surely this won’t upset people.

Ansible is an abstraction layer over system utilities, shell, and other programs. You can specify what you want to happen, and it will figure out how to do it. For example, you can use the ansible.builtin.package module to specify which packages you want to be present, and Ansible will decide which specific package manager module should handle it and how.

Ansible tasks are also idempotent – they are concerned with the end state instead of the action. Many of the modules (like the package module above) take a state parameter with the possible values of present or absent (instead of the more common “install” and “remove” actions). If the system’s state satisfies the task’s expected end state (e.g. the package is already present), the task will be skipped – unlike a shell script, which would simply re-run the entire script every time.

Ansible also implements strict error checking. If a task fails, it won’t run any subsequent tasks on the host since the end states would be unpredictable.

Be the first, then. Throw the first brick. Fire the first shot. Prove your philosophy.

Ever heard the expression “cutting off your ear to spite your face”?

Hate the democrats all you want, but it’s the party that has the greatest chance to displace the current administration. 2024 saw a comparatively large number of independent votes, and Trump was victorious as a result. Division is what they want because it weakens the opposition. You are playing into their hands and against your own interests.

Having an imperfect solution is preferable to nothing but grand ideas of a nationwide revolt and daydreams of a perfect world.

That’s unfortunate, I have no idea how Tailscale does routing on Windows. Try running the client without accepting any subnet advertisements.

I’ve also found this: https://tailscale.com/kb/1023/troubleshooting#lan-traffic-prioritization-with-overlapping-subnet-routes The solution might be to advertise a larger subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/23) to make the route advertisements on the tailnet less specific than on the LAN. Advertising a larger subnet won’t cause any additional issues because it’s in a private IP range.

How did you set up subnet advertisements on the router, and which subnets? Did you touch the ACL in the tailnet’s admin console?

On the home PC, did you accept advertised routes with the Tailscale client?

What happens when you ping a host on the LAN using tailscale ping ADDR? What happens when you try to tracert or tracepath to it?

Condemning and alienating people who are on the wrong side of an arbitrary ideological line, or are labelled as something undesirable, and offering no reconciliation is only good for two things: further pushing them into their existing convictions, and presenting yourself and like-minded people as the enemy. Being a human is far too complex to evaluate a person’s worth based on such simplistic views.

I don’t think Rossmann gives a rat’s ass about what you think of him nor that harsh words would sway him, but if you are ready to condemn and oppose him for identifying as a conservative, you are also saying, in effect, that the consumer rights activism he and his employer have done is not enough for you.

JerryRigEverything builds offroad wheelchairs. He also owns a Cybertruck as part of his business. Admiral James Watkins was a devout catholic and conservative officer in the US Navy. He also advocated for military personnel with AIDS under his command and strongly opposed politicians that labelled the disease as an act of God. Reducing a person’s worth to just one harmful thing necessitates ignoring the good they’ve done.

He said it in one video, but can’t remember when. But if you never could’ve guessed it, then it shouldn’t change your opinion on him.
