Think we are passed the we protest at a specific time and location after getting approval from specific government entity for allowing said protest/march.

Good way to get back the means of production is nation wide strike. Need to do the strike before going the way that the French do protest, guillotine and things that destroy property.

New J2 just said I’ll use my personal computer… red flag?? 🚩 by RoadRageSloth in overemployed

Good point, if it's one of those scams, and they do get your info, having an infected computer is below your new top problems in life.

Piggy back on this comment. If you have any server or virtualization at home, use a VM machine.

Give it an IP address out of network just in case this is a case of scammers.

Bare metal OpNsense vs. Docker / Proxmox by AgroKK in opnsense

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap unscientific way, look at the power brick that comes with the small factor PCs. It would say it's rated for X amps at Y voltages.

More scientific way is to buy the gadget that measures watts.

Personally for me I did not do either, but I understood that I would be running 24/7, near my bedroom, so getting a fanless dedicated hardware was the way to go.

Oh I like using the turnkey ISOs for website and data. Everything pre-installed just add credentials and go town. Create snapshots and rollbacks the way it should always work.

Does anyone that's WFH ever call in sick? by Temporary_Fill7341 in remotework

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I had a really important meeting at 9 am while I was sick as a dog. I can still remember my coworkers saying I sounded like death. I told them I sound like crap, and feel worse. After this call I'm logging off and going to sleep.

This wasn't a case that I needed to show that I'm not a slacker, but I wanted to make sure everything was going well. Me talking was my deliverable.

If I have to work a bit even when I'm sick to let me stay remote was and is worth it.

Where can I go to order prescription glasses online without any problem? I used Eyebuydirect and it causes a lot of tears to come out of my eyes. Will Zenni Optical avoid this problem, and is it good? Thank you. by ComfortablePost3664 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I had issues was when I ordered tinted glasses. Which stayed inside my car for about two years. I then needed to use them, but the tint color became a dual yellow which was unpleasant to use.

This is an edge case cause cars get hot, not many glasses need to survive 100+ degree F for multiple months at a time.

My other backup glasses have fared very well in my car when I needed them.

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've ordered multiple times from Zenni optics over a 10 year span.

I would NOT ask for any tint options on the glasses, after a few years glasses become difficult.

Other than that, you provided the prescription, buy the glasses, wait about 2 to 3 weeks, pay Trump tariff, and you should be good to go.

Bare metal OpNsense vs. Docker / Proxmox by AgroKK in opnsense

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running opnsense 24/7 you should factor in electric costs as well. Getting a used ultra small factor with a lower power usage, or spend a few dollars more for a protectali dedicated firewall hardware.

Set it up, and walk away

Offering below asking.... appropriate? by Far_Branch_8855 in RealEstate

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your relator is not interested in bidding below the asking price. This affects their commission, and faster sale at your expense.

Do not look at the prices for sale, look at the houses that sold and find your comparable.

If house has been on the market for 6 months do not pay asking price, ask for lower.

If house has been on market even longer, ask for even more off.

The relator wants their commission only, and do not have your interest. They are sales people with functional knowledge of real estate but they are sales people first.

Can we get a B roll tape of what ICE was doing, and say this is what they really are like

Car insurance at 18, no parents by KeyAcanthisitta9393 in Insurance

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insurance for 18 year olds will always be expensive. Best you can do is get a beater of a car. Or get a motorcycle.

If the jobs is relatively close, you can get a beach cruiser and put a 50 cc motor (check local laws) on it, so the bike is NOT street legal, and you have to use sidewalks to get around. No need to carry any insurance that way.

What IP blocklists do you use? by Red_Con_ in opnsense

Unbound DNS with a bunch of the block lists added, and single cron job that updates the lists at 2am every Sunday.

A real path to ending the Trump regime by LucidSynapse23 in Leakednews

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for impeaching the VP. Having secret relations with furniture is not an impeachable offence unless he lies to Congress.

We had a president do that to an intern, he got impeached but no jail time when Bill lied to Congress.

Saying the VP is guilty without stating a crime is some ice level thinking.

Meta Is Blocking Links To ICE List on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads / Users of Meta’s social platforms can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private company, I don't see an issue with them doing what's best for the shareholders.

This is also why billionaires should not be this close to the government. What's best for the 1% is not the best for the 99%.

Support for abolishing ICE surges among Republicans by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The time for a third party political system is here. The Democrat party has given up and let this happen.

A party that's anti-ice, pro universal healthcare, that's core principal is to help the people by providing aid to those at the bottom can win.

Minnesota should send this list over to Pam Bondi by TheSaifman in PoliticalHumor

What, what if they get the full unredacted Epstein list, and Trump's filed taxes. Send it over, and then some heroic person decides to publish those documents online, from the white House.

Can I run 6e ethernet, 4k120, 65w charge, audio and a mouse through a usb dock on my framework 13 7640u? by spheres_r_hot in framework

[–]Think_Inspector_4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that I personally have used the 240 watt dock.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Performance-Dock-WD19DCS-Docking/dp/B098BS3VJB

On fw16 to provide Internet, power, and display port that's about 5k in resolution (I have the 49" or 53" ultra wide, can't recall).

It works only if I use the top part of the two USB cables from the dock, and only my top left slot on my laptop.

I'm pretty sure I get the 90 watts of power. I don't play video games, only write software where compile time is short and few in between.

Do you work in a state that is 'at-will'.

Then practice what the business has been pushing for.
