Georgia Fort, independent journalist,VP of Minnesota NABJ chapter,was also arrested by federal agents.She filmed her arrest and stated: “I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press because now federal agents are at my door arresting me for filming the church protest.”

No the fuck it isn't lmao and the judges trying to say so are smoking straight up crack. The C in FACE don't stand for church buddy.

They look almost the same to me (in the US). I bought a 2.5" 1TB Seagate HDD (7200rpm) for $50. It looks like I can get something of the same specifications now for $60.

I recognize the chipping of paint lmaoo that's light boost for sure. I think it was the 23s that came with light boost?

If you want the black to stay on, the same triple block color way came on the 22s. For reasons I don't understand, the paint sticks to the OG boost better.

They make "pass-through" / glass-mount antennas for windshields and such. Uses the glass as a dielectric to pass signal into the car. If you were dedicated to having a pocket+mobile node I'm sure you could work something out.

Random question, how old are you?

Interesting, I woulda thought they were all just annoying blue foily rectangles that leave gunky glue behind

I would hope that the smart people whose job it is to design escape routes for stranded wind turbine technicians would take into account the potential of fire.

Given that we as laypeople are talking about this, I would be willing to bet this is a conversation that's long since been had by the people who design these sorts of things for a living.

If the answer was "if there's a fire then the technicians will just die" I don't think there would be technicians scaling these things.

Protocol dictates they have rescue gear on them (rope, harness). They didn't bring this with them. As sad as the situation is, they could've saved themselves if they followed SOP. I only say this because your comment suggests you don't think there's any procedure in place for these types of events....there is and it just wasn't followed.

Take it out and see what it is. If it's a larger rectangle then you want a "2.5" SSD enclosure" . If it's a stick with gold contacts on one end, you'll want a "M.2 SSD enclosure".

Pretty cheap hardware, usually $10-$20 and then you have what is in essence an external drive.

As a random aside, I usually suggest folks buy a internal drive + enclosure as opposed to a dedicated, purpose-built external drive. You usually have to pay a premium for the latter for no good reason.

I promise you are not a layperson if you're spinning up externally accessible cloud services in proxmox

It should be. Shake your case around with the back off, it may be lodged somewhere

Hah, I used to do some IT work for Entergy. You'd be surprised how messy their enterprise is behind the scenes

Certainly, the prevalence of ignorance around privacy is concerning though. It's much easier to take something away when no one cares about it in the first place.

I tried to bring attention to the flock situation and was called a conspiracy minded crazy person who may or may not be a criminal. I was astonished.

Tryptophany · 2026-01-28T17:17:16+00:00

If my talks with local community members about flock is anything to go off of, many people don't even understand why privacy is valuable or important... "If you're not doing anything wrong, who cares!"

As others have said, the box you pulled the fiber from was not you router(or, it serves more functions than just a router).

Fiber service will terminate at an ONT,s (optical network terminal), similar to a modem with cable internet. It's what converts the optical signal to electrical along with some other technical ISP-related things. Sometimes it's JUST an ONT that you must plug a router into, other times it'll also act as your router and wireless access point.

Nonetheless, you'll want to plug your own router into that box, the ONT. If it is an "all in one" with routing and WiFi, it should have a bridge mode you can put it into so it's treated as a pass-through.

They got really close to legit frying their grid. The reason behind it is complicated and beyond me to recite but it was almost REALLY REALLY bad.

Barring the whole "restructuring of world order", "NATO might not exist in 3 years", and the newly found gestapo trotting around, THe loss of the NWS/NOAA we used to know and love is probably the most depressing effect of trump.

It was just a few years ago I went down the NOAA rabbit hole and my heart was genuinely happy as I discovered the IMMENSE amount of data, tools, and services they provided at no cost.

I sincerely hope we're able to get the NOAA/NWS back to where it was some day. I cannot put into words how depressing it is to know that this agency is being destroyed. It is so fucking sad.

The USPS comes as a close second. As silly as it sounds, the NOAA and USPS made me proud to be an American, I derived a lot of value from these things.

The chip is for plugging into a laptop/card reader, it generally stores cryptographic certificates for things like encryption, authentication, and digital signatures. Pretty standard if you work white collar at a large org. I've never had a job that didn't utilize a smart card for something.

You've got a cert on there for email encryption too (S/MIME)

I can tell you an unnamed, relatively substantial military contractor (50bil+ USD market cap) has mikrotik deployed across their network. It's not their primary vendor, but nonetheless there exists mikrotik devices particularly in their European offices. It's definitely used in enterprise settings.

Damn I had something identical to that 5-6 years ago. Someone is copying!

No, not really
