If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I disagree that pihole can’t be used in the instance of a laptop since you can still use it as a dns remotely, but an opendns account was effectively made for this purpose.

    Use commonly available white lists and blacklists for kids only content.

    Pihole also has built in monitoring for dns requests. I’ve never paid for opendns but it does too.

    Arris routers allow smtp data logs to also show direct IP interactions. I imagine lots of routers do. Using solarwinds software demos you can easily parse through them. You cannot control these requests non-locally, but I’d ask what you’re trying to look for if these requests are consistently made out of the house and are limited to IP only requests without dns. An app you don’t want them using? In that case reroute the apps known IPs to 127.0.0.1 locally and remove admin rights from the user. This will also lock them to opendns.

    Set rules for yourself about what constitutes a problem ahead of time. Snooping can lead to the bending of rules in search of something that’s not there. Internet traffic is rife with advertisers sideloading all sorts of dubious shit. The context of other IPs or hostnames connected to before and after is important when looking at log data.

    Edit: Easiest way around this is to install a USB nic. A domain and GPO is how corporations prevent this scenario with minimal user impact.


  • A program which contains or accepts a database of yeast characteristics and computes likely chemical reaction favorabilities given temperature, alcohol content over time, fermentables availability, volume, and time. An example might be, “This recipe process will produce undesirable phenols” when you use more sugar than a 6% strain can use, which will stress it out and release bad flavors. Each yeast has tolerances. Also given temperature you could make predictions about desirable phenol metabolite flavors and aromas such as banana, cherry, raisins, etc. You could also do a worst case likely scenario on ambient temperature needs for a fermenter of a given size to resist heating as a result of yeast activity, so if you’re targeting 60 degrees “banana” zone, you would need to have it in a fridge at 50 degrees or whatever during the first few days of fermentation to keep it from going higher into other flavors.

    This is complicated and may require research papers. The internet can often be wrong about brewing tips and explanations for results, so I’ve found scientific literature or some Belgian brewing books like, “how to brew like a monk” to be good solid information that isn’t based on nisconceptions.


  • Audio custom box fabrication is currently reliant on either clunky web tools for computing resonant frequencies, port recommendations, bracing requirements, etc. There is a very nice app called bass box pro, however it’s so old that it requires compatibility mode and has a comically outdated GUI. Even within this app it does not account for complex shapes, cubic feet of the room or car open air, ideal locations for loading walls relative to the listener, direction of the cone, effective of distance from cone to port, Massloaded Vinyl thickness to bounce what % of the energy or what the floor on a downfiring sub is made of and if you need a pad for it, effects of constrained layer dampening on the inside of the box, different infill material than polyfill, thickness of the wood by wood type, final prediction weight, tips and hints on how to slide each stat up and down, so like if your maximum space allotment would give you a resonance of 37hz, what would you change to raise or lower it within different constraints like space, port dimensions, rigidity, power, etc.

    It’s heavily math-based, but the current solutions are behind the times and while it’s easy to find explanations for each question, having a self enclosed app would be great. Also FYI bassbox pro isn’t cheap, so it’s got actual value and will not really expire if the solution is global. Bassbox allows you to enter databases of new speakers to keep it relevant. Allowing car cu ft, speakers, building material specs, or something crazy like an stl or step file to accurately describe a shape or a box would be fire

    Maybe a hot take, but if you visit the hospital/er 5+ times after giving birth, have a history of postpartum depression and probable postpartum psychosis, your husband is arguing with the doctors on your behalf, they keep giving you SSRIs when she’s had bad reactions in the past to them, she’s talked about hearing voices to her doctor. She’s called the suicide hotline and gone to the ER for suicidal ideation, and hinted that the voice wants her to kill her kids then…

    1. Don’t switch her to a new SSRI and then discharge her immediately.
    2. Don’t leave her alone with her kids.
    3. Consult an OGBYN
    4. Prioritize her.

    It’s pretty fucked how many people failed her in a traumatic way, and ultimately failed those kids too.

    I think even in this thread there’s some misunderanding about how serious of an ailment postpartum psychosis can be. I’ve seen someone else with it and thankfully she went to the psych ward immediately and was helped find the right med and feels better now. She said similar things about wanting to hurt her child and felt like she was becoming a sociopath. It’s not common, and most people stigmatized mental health conditions and probably 10x for psychosis. I think that’s the bare minimum of understanding needed before you should even have kids just in case, because doctors can miss it, like in her case.



  • Think about who else has access, who else flags as not part of the mission, where is evidence of this download stored (it’s probably in more places than you’d expect from a digital forensics perspective). Keep in mind tools that delete also leave voids where there should be data, which is highly suspicious. Even something like removing a drive, deleting stuff on another computer, and placing it back could be a bread crumb if the original computer logs write or read cycle counts. Copiers keep records of their documents and users who print them, this can be traced back to the documents themselves.

    Also who else in your life is vulnerable to the culprits, how will media spin this against you, how will the culprits lie about your actions and documents? Is what you’re exposing against a shared enemy publicly or a relatively positive entity? Think Bill Clinton and the fawning that made Monica to take the brunt of the scrutiny off of him? Would other governments or companies highly benefit from this information being released to the point that you’d be labeled a spy?

    How legal was your access? Coincidental, open door, closed door opened, locked door opened, safe opened (metaphorically for digital). Can your information alone be used to prove its own validity? How much trail have you left in your interactions with other people, especially in text form, to raise you as a suspicious entity? I’d argue if it’s you then already too much is on the internet and you’d be better served passing the concern to someone else in the know if you don’t plan on moving to Russia like Snowden. Speaking of Snowden, make sure that your redactions cover both the copier hardware signature as well as fully remove the things you’re trying to redact. There are journalists who accept tips as well as nonprofits that may take a look without ratting you out. The journalists that Snowden chose were Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Barton Gellman, and Ewen MacAskill.

    It’s valid critique, but I don’t like the precedence of being stupid also taking away your humanity. Education can fail us in deliberate ways from the top sometimes, I wouldn’t say folks with a bad education aren’t human. Even for folks who lean out of otherwise good education, or who don’t hone their critical thinking skills, I judge them as humans who suck. Being in the middle of a fascist regime and with mainstream news dehumanizing minorities, I think language around humanity is important.




  • Idk about that, but certainly there is a very strong correlation between people like this and those who feel like they need to consult chatgpt or grok to filter out basic facts. Their willingness to give up their own thoughts and opinions bodes poorly for the future, especially of democracy.

    Sorta depends for me. If I can connect the YouTuber back to something valid like an event where science is held in high esteem or collabs with people I do trust I’ll give it a shot. Basically every single time this is not the case, and in his case it’s literally never the case. Dude searches for his batshit view, clicks the first video without watching it, then sends it like I’m supposed to filter it for him. He’d believe in aliens if the video had 1 million views. He kinda does anyways since the why files is his favorite channel and it’s barely researched (by AI) slop, where whatever his agent can’t disprove becomes a “mystery”

    One of the examples that comes to mind is the Navy UAP videos, where he looked at what was clearly a bird, wing flaps and all, locked on to by a fighter jet and said “that’s a craft and WOAH it disappeared (when the pilot lost autotarget)” as well as, “a fighter pilot on Fox said it’s a vehicle of some sort and he’s a lot smarter than you.” And got indignant and walked off when I said, “smarter and paid or a lot dumber than me, either way he’s wrong.”

    I brought up the dumbass sheriff chasing Jupiter on a winding road too and he felt it wasn’t Jupiter because the sheriff was an expert witness for some reason. Dude’s cooked
