all his companies are slowly becoming one - spacex is taking over xa"i" which already owns shitter

maybe starlink is somewhere in the middle or just separately owned by spacex

means you can’t get one without all, but there is a bright side of shitter and the elon regurgitater can just be shut off once it’s taken over

journalists never are experts, with some rare exceptions

red flag imo. especially when it comes to fork trucks and safety implications it shouldn’t be a big deal to call a mechanic to check and ensure they are in proper working order.

check your library! a lot are adding maker spaces. My local library has a couple 3D printers, laser cutter/engraver, cnc vinyl cutters and all sorts of handheld implements.

insightful! 💡

This looks like it would sound like a wind chime when walking?

it doesn’t matter, our insurance company has more strict requirements. all it ever is for FCC, CISA, NIST, etc is someone “attesting” that we meet requirements

let’s take an entry level hobby electronics activity and do our best not to learn anything by using chatgpt??? what’s the point??

thank you! not a new form factor just cloth covered now

It is considered a fail, and then inputting passwords in the form is a super fail.

we do monthly phishing tests and some of our people are so bad that we put in the test email “this is a phishing email, do not click sign in” above and below the sign in box and they still give creds

What I am personally curious to see is if this was ever completed:

a waiver from Pendleton’s Range Operations Division — call sign LONGRIFLE

It seems they had a form waiver, that likely would include risk assessment. The article later stated that the military appeared to be following procedures outlined in the waiver/by the Range Operations Division, specifically when all firing ceased and a root cause analysis launched after the premature detonation.

I have multiple linux computers, from servers to a surface tablet, i am able to use all different generations of all nvidia, both permanently installed, and eGPU. It is not without any issue, but it works and is usable.

For me issues stem from x11 vs wayland (work computer is ubuntu due to company policy), or egpu shenanigans which I feel is platform agnostic

working for an isp in rural NY and PA, this is not uncommon, but for us normally they are normally not “stray”

thank you

It may have been a rate of rise vs a hard upper limit for the heat detector. If it was, about 8-10°C / 15-20°F change per minute would set it off. Makes sense for it to go off over an oven. The hard upper limit type are single use, I don’t know if that causes them to repeatedly go off or not.

Either way with more regulated short term rentals, a fire inspection would likely have flagged that.

There is nuance in installing fire alarms, make sure you are using the correct detector type for each area, and installing it correctly.

I’m pretty sure strong drafts or dusty areas can set it off.

Also know that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are consumable items that should be replaced, usually 7-10 years but it should be noted on the device.

At the end of the day, it wakes you up to check, or causes you to observe for an emergency. Imagine your wake up groggy situation but you smell smoke. Personally I would like that chance to be able to evacuate.

Verizon and ATT just rebrand nokia ONTs and roll some of their own software that is mostly enhanced or changed encryption at L1. Can’t speak for Comcast, I only know about the other two as I’m in a smaller ISP that competes with them.

They use have L2 onts that don’t have any gateway functions, just fiber to ethernet with some extra overhead to monitor the connection between the hose and shelf.

The ONT-on-a-stick units do the same thing, just a more compact and expensive interface that doesn’t have great support, unless comcast or running all home run fibers where they can just provide a straight SFP instead of doing any optical splitting.

No, you are likely looking at an ONT (optical network terminal), and it is not a router. Even with a port that accepts the fiber (sfp or sfp+ for 10g) on your equipment, the OLT (optical line terminal) likely will not provide you with service.

If you were to match the wavelengths the ISP is using you are likely to become a “rogue” on their PON that can knock out service for other customers that share the same passive network as you.

I make assumptions about you being on PON since you say AT&T, generally all I have ever seen from them are passive networks (one fiber with splitters for 1 port to many customers) unless you are paying extra for “dedicated” ($$$$$) internet.

If they are using a ONT with an “RG” (residential gateway) which is the typical “all in one” you can request the gateway service can be removed and replaced with a layer 2 bridge, where you’re router/firewall gets the “external” addressing and there is nothing being done by the ISP equipment other than sending you traffic and OAM (operations, administration, and maintenance; usually check or alert for light levels, software status, if a part of the ONT fails etc).

There are definitely multiple ways they can block traffic to a site, but you have to be sending traffic through them or using DNS from them, or placing your site behind them using them for protection from denial of service attacks.

Firstly, if you pay or use their free “anti-ddos” services, what is really happening is all traffic to your site is being sent through their network. Should you violate their terms of service, they can choose to terminate that traffic.

DNS is Domain name service, where I want to visit example.com, and DNS tells the computer to go to 12.34.56.78. The DNS server your computer will ultimately use can be assigned by your ISP, manually configured by your network administrator, etc. One choice you can use, that is regarded by some as a good choice due to response time, is cloudflare. When cloudflare decides to block a site, one method they may use is to redirect DNS replies for that domain to a placeholder that indicates this site is blocked, or reply with NXDOMAIN - Non-eXistent domain.

An ISP could also choose to buy bandwidth from cloudflare as an upstream provider. For cloudflare enforcing a block, they would redirect traffic destined for any of address they want to a placeholder just like DNS.

A more aggressive, and dangerous tactic that could cause global outages for a site, would be to falsely claim address as their own to the public internet with Border Gateway Protocol - BGP, then redirect/blackhole it.
