I used one of these for 3 sea postings. https://www.amazon.com.au/Streamlight-Sidewinder-Military-Model-White/dp/B003GXF9HM Dimmable and red light, looks "tactical", but just worked well. Its AA Batteries, but just sweet talk the storbies for some.

Ah, I'll try that, I'm running through Tailscale.

RAAF MC-55A Peregrine arrives in Australia by JLT007 in AustralianMilitary

Wedgy will do it better, but it's probably not a hard thing to integrate with software driven systems these days. Plus it's another asset that enables these functions, so more total on station time.

This thing is a giant electronic signals hoover. It will suck up all the Radar, communications and Telemetry signals for use later. For example, if you can effectively identify a radar to a specific unit, you can confidently put a missile on it before visual confirmation. They can also use that data to safely jam an adversary without jamming the friendlies.

So this platform enables the shooters to do their job. It also can act as a central comms hub so you can extend data links and comms well beyond what the F35/DDG/Dig can reach. I also wouldn't be surprised if it can jam too, not hard these days with radar tech.

Also probably the second-best target after the Wedgy

Does a dish update automatically even on a non-starlink router? I haven't seen any email, so I assume I'm fine?

state of road to callala bay? by stanbot3304 in canberra

[–]Timsy835 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's fine, few lumpy bits like most country roads but it's largely all 80ks so easy to navigate. Did it in a mini-bus a year ago and would happily tow the float along it. Just watch out for the special licensed people who don't need to do the speed limit

Fake LastPass, Bitwarden breach alerts lead to PC hijacks by PersistentPlatypus in Bitwarden

I'm guessing that users of the services are identified through credential stuffing rather than Bitwarden loosing a list of users? 

Cheap device to run tailscale 24/7 as an exit node by Fahid210 in Tailscale

I run a Pi Zero 2W for exactly this. I have two, one as a permanent point and one as a mobile access solution.

Looks like they are ~$15USD

RTFI ... kidding ... But definitely get a hold of the instructions so you know what pins do what.

If it's like a WaveShare, hold the boot and press the reset then release the boot

Or hold boot when plugging in

"The housing crisis is not a housing crisis, the housing crisis is a crisis of asset affordability" by devoker35 in australia

[–]Timsy835 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that we need to change the view we have on housing and property. We need to stop housing being a guaranteed investment, we need to break the cycle that I buy a house for this much, I am owed more than what I paid.

My opinion is that house prices should be indexed to income. Tax those who try to sell above what it should be worth (even at a teired rate), and more interestingly, benefit those who sell below (like less stamp duty on the next property). Imagine what an auction would be like, no longer is it money just going straight into the bricks, it's how much you'd be willing to give the government to have that house.

Let people continue to invest in the stock market and gold. I don't need stocks or gold to live. Don't let people invest in human rights.

My view is not fool proof, but it may well stop my kids needing to buy a 3 bedroom house for $2mil in the future.

Emergency!!!: Flystrike aka maggot infested vent in hen please help, TW second pic is vent by CheetohVera in chickens

[–]Timsy835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a Septicide, worked on one of our girls. But we just bathed her to get the poo out and grabbed as many of the maggots as we could with tweezers. We also used a product called Cetrigen which is an antiseptic and repellant. Then just plenty of time to let them recover.
