It’s like playing Uno; but with reverse cards only.

So we have:

• Ad Blockers
• ‘Ad Blocker’ blockers
• ‘‘Ad blocker’ blocker’ blockers
• ‘’‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers
• ‘’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers
• ‘’‘’‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blockers; and finally;
• ‘’‘’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blocker’ blockers; with;
• ‘’‘’‘’‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers

in development.

I have a /48 that I can basically roll through.

A /64 is more than enough though to prevent most casual attempts at entry; and does force more work / enumeration to be done to break into a network and do damage with. I’m not saying the privacy extensions are the greatest; but they do work to slightly increase the difficulty of tracking and exploitation.

With a /48 or even a /56; I can subdivide things and hand out several /64s to each device too; which would shake up things if tracking expects a /64 explicitly.

I actually use /55s to cordon off blocks inside the /48 that aren’t used too. So dialing a random prefix won’t help. You’d be surprised how often I get intrusive portsweeps trying to enumerate my /64s this way…and it doesn’t work because I’m not subnetting on any standard behavior.

I run both because of this; and because SLAAC enables features in Desktop OSes that offer some level of additional privacy.

For example; Windows can do “Temporary IPv6 Addressing” that it will hand out to various applications and browsers. That IPv6 address rotates on a periodic basis; once every 24 hours by default; and can be configured to behave differently depending on your needs via registry keys.

This could for example, allow you to quickly spin up a small application server for something; like a gaming session; and let you use/bind that IPv6 address for it. Once the application stops using it and the time period has elapsed; Windows drops the IP address and statelessly configures itself a new one.

I get a free /64 and /48 directly from Hurricane Electric using their TunnelBroker and use PFSense to deploy that v6 locally on my LAN. Everything in the house has a v6 and is protected by the necessary firewalling too.

This is why I use PFSense and Hurricane Electric as a v6 tunnelbroker. I have working functional IPv6 with SLAAC and DHCPv6 and full Routing Advertisements on my LAN running side-by-side so that no matter which the device implements how poorly; it gets an IPv6 address and it works and is protected by the firewall.

Now snap some pics of this kitty laying in different places all over this couch; you now have a new meme: Address Space Layout Randomization.

You would be surprised how hard it can be sometimes to source batteries due to shipping rules and regulations; as well as the general difficulty surrounding just building your own battery pack…which can end badly if you aren’t an electronic engineer or similar professional who knows exactly what they are doing.

I must warn you of the dangers of pushing batteries in a failure state like this though; Lithium batteries can sometimes fail in explosive ways.

Keep an eye on the thermals and don’t let it expand or pop on you.

Either Linux has no idea what your battery is telling it; or your battery is just…toast.

Let’s just hope for your sake it’s just a funny linux bug. Replacing specific laptop batteries can be a tremendous pain if you can’t find a specific cell that works for your device.

Not only did they guess it should be updated; they even left plenty of mechanisms directly in the constitution that allowed for it to be updated radically whenever situations changed so drastically that a supermajority agrees that it should be changed.

Unfortunately that too is the downfall; as those who want to exploit the status quo are also empowered to leverage their money and power to prevent such a majority from taking place. The constitution is far from perfect, and it absolutely should’ve been amended many hundreds of times over, not just the paltry less than 30 times we’ve managed to do so already.

My entire house:

“BLUE PILL PLS!”

At least it showed some creativity and effort…if only a little.

We need some mad genius to crack Widevine and make a plugin that works for Linux.

It’s going to have to be restricted-source, but hey, honestly we need to break Google’s stranglehold anyways.

Will there even be another version? I’m not ruling out any kind of life shenanigans preventing the devs from doing their amazing thing…

I plan to Continue Refusing To Daily Drive Linux again this year in my standard drive to push Linux, Linux Developers, Managers and Contributors to be more friendly for end users. You have to be better than Windows, and we know you people can achieve it if more can and do contribute. Make Contributing Easy and they will Contribute.

Maybe I’ll spin up a Matrix Homeserver with Beeper bridges to self-host that…if that becomes a necessity. Getting to know how to use and administrate Linux efficiently is always a good thing to learn, even if it’s not easy still, and even if the bad old days were even worse.

The Linux for Windows subsystem is a nice to have that makes learning a little less troublesome.

Personally; I manage my BO. If I can lift my shirt up, pull my head inside the shirt, and smell my own armpit odor, then I’m in need of some DO.

I’ve been using a Dove branded Spray-On (AP/)DO for Women and it’s effective. By combining the acts of applying DO, then, changing clothes; I don’t particularly sweat over much.

I Do Shower on an As-Needed Basis. That’s saying that I do shower, without committing to any specific showering pattern or timing basis. If you try to imply I don’t shower regularly you will look foolish.

If I stink, then it’s either uncommonly hot and humid or I have not yet had the opportunity needed to shower. The hows and whys of this are not important; but generally if I choose not to shower, it’s probably for a good reason.

I do suffer from some allergies and disabilities. I won’t comment on what they are specifically, but they do exist, so I keep my fragrances light and unobtrusive; and I try to shower only when I can manage to handle doing so. I’m not going to uproot or upset my health, focus, peace or routine just to take a shower to please someone arbitrary; but I do allow the people whom I live with and love to remind me gently should I forget about addressing my BO in the chaos of life.

This isn’t saying that I don’t care. It’s saying I’m imperfect, I have a life, and I do get overloaded sometimes.

Nice. Once upon a time Winamp had a functional preferences slider that controlled the “Shuffle Morph Rate” and I can imagine it likely used a similar algorithm to shuffle.

I only wish this existed in more software in general…and that music players would let you select what method the randomization is achieved with.

Just because someone skips a track doesn’t mean that track was wrong for that playlist. It just means the time was wrong for that track. The mood.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed; but “Shuffle” used to be a good thing! Now; it frequently just isn’t good at it’s job. There’s no control over the “Randomness” of the shuffle anymore, and there’s no way to turn off any “Algorithm” that promises it can pick the next song better than random shuffling can.

Sometimes that experience of a truly random or an algorithmic shuffle is good; and sometimes it delivers bad options, and being able to say “Nah, I’m just not into this track today, NEXT!” is something I regard as a fundamental right, and something that you too, should do. Skips shouldn’t be precious actions. Your mental heath shouldn’t be impacted by an unlucky shuffle, nor should your mood.

Music is a deep, and almost primal form of expression; and it can express many things. Sooo…Being able to skip the emotional equivalent of a 💩 pile of poo 💩 is actually pretty important…even if it doesn’t 🌹 always (metaphorically) smell 🌸 like poo to you all the time.
