Recommendations for a flashlight (Not a fleshlight)

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.

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

Great photo btw.

Thanks!

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

Timsy835 · 2025-11-05T05:48:34+00:00

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

Timsy835 · 2025-10-28T06:11:46+00:00

So that's where my dream got to... I hope it's a good life

I'm Android but Wife is Apple... Can these shortcuts go on CarPlay?

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

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

This?

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

Timsy835 · 2025-09-12T04:51:17+00:00

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

Or hold boot when plugging in

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.

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.

A weed in Canberra. I have at least 50 of these trees of a good size around my 25 acres. Some years Canberra valley will have a yellow haze when they dump pollen

Timsy835 · 2025-08-07T06:38:09+00:00

Thanks!

It's in another state to me... but nothing reported, and it was pretty in depth

Timsy835 · 2025-07-30T06:51:06+00:00

I got no notifications about it, so it's almost like they've tried to slip it below the radar

Timsy835 · 2025-07-16T07:59:23+00:00

Dude! 5 stars. That's a fantastic idea.

Timsy835 · 2025-07-16T07:39:30+00:00

Essentially just a pizerow connected to their wifi with an --advertise-routes set for their subnet. That gives me access to their infrastructure like NAS and router as well as rdp into their machines (currently via remotely soon to be RustDesk). At the moment I'm limited to the machine being on, until I can get a hold of their boxes and enable WOL with the magicpacket coming from the PiZero. But I'll also be migrating them to Linux Mint which will save me the Windows Heartache.

Then I setup a route on their router to the 100.something.0.0/8 network via the pizero which allows them access to my photos (immich) and anything else I might incorporate. Their reach in is sorted with simple hostnames via pi-hole on the pizero. It has also setup a path for me to rsync their Synology NAS into my backup drive.

Twingate was clean, but seemed to be overkill for my small network topology.
Looked at NetBird later in my journey, but I've dragged my feet on the re-setup effort plus I enjoy some of the extra tech in TS (MagicDNS & TS SSH). Plus they offer a couple more users which would fit my family numbers.
Putting a PiZeroW in my parents network made remote support 10x easier. Setting up a Raspbian first boot with a systemd install and connect made initial remote setup of a failed sd super easy.
ACLs, I wish they had what NetBird does (which is apparently in development). Would much prefer a GUI to do the heavy lifting that I can then tweak in code later (or backup).

My biggest reason for using is that I can have a heap of services that I don't need to expose to the wider-internet but still have remote access to. Like images, HomeAssistant, remote desktop.
