  • Biden…the man who contributed a ton of content to the Patriot Act. The man who said: ‘If Israel didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it.’ What’s he saying? He’s saying that Israel, along with other entities world wide, serve America’s own selfish self interests. I wouldn’t be holding him up as some level of superiority.

    That’s why I say we need a Gen X in office

    I’ve long said we need a age cap. Get some new blood in there. They sure as shit can’t screw it up more than it is. But we’ve turned voting for the president of the United states into a World Wide Wrestling Federation event replete with all the glitz, glamor, and all the fakery you can stomach.

    birth rates plummeting.

    There’s a reason replacement babies are scarce, and it’s something I wrestled with as a young man back in the 60s. I looked around and thought, there’s no way I’m going to bring another life into this mess. So I opted out.






  • From day one we all needed to collectively reject any effort to make any profit online.

    WUT? Why?

    We wouldn’t be in this situation today with Trump

    Trump was inevitable and is a product of silly, gullible Americans blown about by political winds without a compass or direction. Americans don’t vote with the long term in mind. For the most part, their future lies within 4 year increments, never really grasping the fact that legislation passed today will be with us for generations if not longer. All you have to do is look at Cannabis laws in this country perpetuated by rich, white, racist, capitalist from 100 years ago.

    We’d have flying cars and world peace

    As someone who has been promised flying cars for 71 years, I don’t think I want the average motorist flying about all willy nilly. We can’t even handle the tarmac ffs…and you want flying cars? World peace? The world doesn’t want peace. There is too much to be had in conflict.


  • A separate vulnerability in Linux allows users with limited rights to escalate to root. Tracked as CVE-2026-43499, it lurked in the OS for 15 years. Researchers from Nebula Security said they discovered it using Vega, Nebula’s AI-assisted vulnerability scanner. Matt Lucas, a researcher and founder of RedEye Security, explained

    This will become more and more common as we use AI to find vulnerabilities faster (hopefully) than bad actors can use AI to find vulnerabilities.




    • Yacy
    • SearxNG
    • Degoog!

    Are about the only selfhosted ones I know of. I run SearxNG and have a good deal of success with it. It does bork image searches sometimes and tosses in these lithograph artworks, which are quite interesting to me, but don’t help in the search itself. In as much as it will draw the ire of some, AI makes a pretty good search engine if you are searching for really specific things like: List all Blues artists that were active in 1942 in Memphis. Give resource links.

    I do too. I like people just sharing how their set up is, how it operates, what they do, how they did it. Because there are soooo many ways do do just a single thing, and I like to cross compare what I have to what someone else has done and maybe pick up some tips and pointers most of the time.

    We should have a My Set up time for these types. Like open mic at a blues joint. Just get up tell all, show it off, give all the details, the snags you have come up one, the things that really work well. The whole shebang.







  • ESP-32 black magic

    For their size, they are surprisingly powerful and very versatile. The Nomad project you posted looks intriguing. I could see that being useful when we’re out on the pontoon because the CD player has long since died and there is zero I want to listen to on terra-radio. He even includes the NomadCase.stl file. Sweet! Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.
