Encrypt email with anyone who publishes a key. If "bad" emails are the only ones you encrypt, then that metadata can be used to raise suspicion of you and to trace your contacts.

I would expand this to say that it matters how many people in the household. For one person, 55 Mbps is fine for streaming video and 350 GB is fine for downloads, unless you're d/l multiple AAA games. 350 GB might also cause trouble if you do significant cloud backups.

If you're in a household of 4 people, that 350 GB is likely to bite, and 55 Mbps is likely to struggle if you're all watching something different.

Zwave is my first choice for new devices. Love that I can just scan the little QR code, turn it on, and have it come up in HA. Super-long range, I'm going to have to look for outdoor sensors.

But I'm also thinking - my parents are starting to have health problems - that a mile could even be a family member or friend's house. Not as intrusive as cameras, but an easy way to see that they're up and about...making coffee, TV on, or whatever, and not (potentially) collapsed in the shower unable to get up.

Before the War, you want your bunker to be open and easily accessible, so you don't have to go hunting for keys or struggle to remember a passphrase when the missiles come over the horizon. After the War, you want your valuables to be inside the bunker, so you can use your Tiffany broach to buy grain from the raiders. So, all your valuables need to be in the open bunker, but secure from pre-War thieves. Definitely need a vault in your vault.

Remember that Trump lies about everything, often in both directions. Everyone knows this, including his supporters. That gives his supporters the mental freedom to make up whateverthefuck policy positions they like and find proof that they are Trump's real plan.

Donald Trump is the human version of a Bible. If you're a Believer, god says he will implement your Desire. If you're a Heretic, god says he will destroy the world. All with the same words.

Congress makes a big show of restricting their official compensation. Have voted down "cost of living" pay raises every year since 2009. Voted away speaking and publication fees. All these things to "prove" that they hold their positions for civic duty more than money, but the flip side of this is that only people with independent wealth can afford to be in congress. If most of their money comes from investments or unofficial sources, then it can be even easier to funnel money to them - insider trading tips, legislation favorable to their own companies or investments, jobs for their relatives. Benefits structured not to count as compensation or salary, like free travel on "official" business or below-market rent.

It's a little misleading to describe 'feeling good,' including selfless acts of altruism with the phrase "enrich themselves."

If you get rid of the asshole we elected, you get an asshole we didn't elect. An asshole we didn't even have a voice on.

Having a single, central receiver to collect inputs from 5+ A/V sources and deal them back, arbitrarily? to 6 different outputs seems awfully complicated. Something like Jellyfin or mythtv with one or more TV tuners would let you originate all of the TV & streaming signals from your central source to client players - kodi or whatever - in the player rooms. Most of those have at least some control through homeassistant. Kodi on RPis with some basic class D amplifiers in each room, run through the TV, if the room has a TV. Probably couldn't get synchronized audio in all rooms that way.

Read further. There are two judgements against Jones: one for ~$50M and one for ~$1B. In a normal bankruptcy resolution, the 8 families of the $1B judgement will get 95% of the proceeds, while the 2 families of $50M get 5%. "Sandy Hook families forgoing $750,000" means that those 8 families are effectively giving $750k of their millions to the 2 families, resulting in a more even distribution of compensation across the whole group.

Honestly, it would be most efficient just to grind everyone over 70 into mulch. The years spent slowly siphoning their life savings while they just sit around not being hardcore workers are complete waste. Accelerate the process, transfer the wealth, so the next generation can spend it on new cars and electronic baubles: old people don't spend enough money, and what they do spend is all government-subsidized healthcare.

They probably do not get the same tax cuts: a "normal" person, making a paltry $250,000/year only reduces taxes by 24% of their giving, where the ultra-rich get 37%.

But the real difference is scale. A million people each giving $100 to their favorite charity is going to distribute that money more-or-less according to the community's overall priorities. One person giving $100M to their favorite charity has no connection to the broader community and social goals. They supercharge that one thing, which takes attention and resources from everything else.

[update, solved] It was apparmor, which was lying about being inactive. Ubuntu's default profile denies bind write access to its config directory. Needed to add /etc/bind/dnskeys/** rw, reload apparmor, and it's all good.

Trying to switch my internal domain from auto-dnssec maintain to dnssec-policy default. Zone is signed but not secure and logs are full of

zone_rekey:dns_dnssec_keymgr failed: error occurred writing key to disk

key-directory is /etc/bind/dnskeys, owned bind:bind, and named runs as bind

I've set every directory I could think of to 777: /etc/bind, /etc/bind/dnskeys, /var/lib/bind, /var/cache/bind, /var/log/bind. I disabled apparmor, in case it was blocking.

A signed zone file appears, but I can't dig any DNSKEYs or RRSIGs. named-checkzone says there's nsec records in the signed file, so something is happening, but I'm guessing it all stops when keymgr fails to write the key.

I tried manually generating a key and sticking it in dnskeys, but this doesn't appear to be used.

 

Looking for a brokerage with functional, individual API access to, at least, account positions, balances, and equity/fund/bond prices. Used to be happy with TDA, but they got bought by Scwab, whose API has been "pending" for six months.
