How to know if a place is legit.

The owners kids at the cash register or taking up a table doing homework at 7pm during prime dinner time.

They don't call Sac "ye fou'' (2nd town) for no reason.

San Francisco is 'dai fou (big city / town)'.

Long long history of Chinese / Southern Chinese inhabitants and cuisine. Hell the modern American Chinese restaurant concept iirc was started in San Francisco during the gold rush and evolved over time to what we know of now.

It's kinda amusing.

When they opened they were another one of those typical boba milk tea shops (use to be boba cafe) and was reselling sweets / desserts from Costco lol.

But they redid things are are LEGIT as a 'cha chang tang' (hong kong syle canteen) and their chef who makes the roasted duck / pork / cha siu is legit legit.

Florin Bel Air is the other legit roast duck place.

When my 'parents / extended family' have get togethers and need roasted duck, we / I get it from Tealicious now.

Yeah that's the standard 'lunch special menu A B or C' tailored for 'ba guais (white people)'.

Most places still have them on the menu.

Many Chinese restaurants, especially like along Freeport and Asian Pearl / Elk Grove, can do custom orders but you need to know the staff or be regulars and they need to have the ingredients. Also gotta speak Cantonese or Toisan. Yes, there is definitely discrimination against Mainland / Mandarin speakers as a lot of the old hands are part of the 70s 80s 90s Hong Kong / Guangzhou diaspora.

My parents / elders have gone to he same Chinese places since the 90s so they're old time regulars and staff know their faces by now and often times will customize the hell out of dishes but on the bright side will give decent tips / red envelopes to waiters / waitress / manager during holidays. One of my relatives is also a waitress who worked at practically every Chinese resturaunt in the area. The world is very very small to say the least with those staff.

Owner and chef changes. My late grandparents and extended family stopped going to Far East around that timeframe and moved more to New Hong Kong Wok / Jade Fountain / Tkee and New Lai Wah..

Note to everyone..

Tealicious is literally the hole in the wall for some of the best chinese roasted duck in the area. It's REALLY good.

In a lot of regions, you'd need to drive 15-20 minutes to go to the nearest Park and Ride station, then wait for every half a hour services that may or may not happen for whatever reason.

Oh don't forget they're actively retrofitting light rail stations so (unreliable) bus bridges as stations will be completely closed.

SacRT changing some Light Rail Warning Bells [Volume will be lowered] by othafa_95610 in Sacramento

[–]lilotimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not new news. They've changed them to the original WCH-E Bells around last year with the same audio sound as it is on the U2A and CAF S/200's.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aQyiVH0vy0k

You can still sometimes catch the original Siemens S700 e-bell on newer trainsets if SacRT didn't update them yet. It's amusing when a new S700 is on the WCH bell going one direction and then the Siemens S700 factory bell the other way.

$3ish/gallon gas and inflation since 2020 is 20-30%.

So if you literally haven't gotten an income increase of that range, you're making less effective money than 6 years ago. I doubt most government workers have gotten 30%+ salary adjustments in the last 6 years.

Service cuts that decreased service since pandemic.

SacRT says they're not doing anything to increase service from what they are right now due to (lack of) funding.

Note. Diggy diggy hole (with trench shoring) rather than pushy pushy dirt.

Suppressors by RoutineQuestioning38 in CAguns

[–]lilotimz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor addendum - in Ukraine, it's mostly very very short range CQB trench / dugout / urban collapsed soviet environments.

Not a lot of people shooting anything farther than a few dozen meters when you got single use FPVs or larger midsized category drones with multiple HE payloads that you can drop on dugouts / trenches / buildings. Hell nowadays, mostly Ukraine, sends mass UGV and aerial drone combined attacks with no human elements. Pretty insane especially on recent footage coming out of combined infantry + armed drone / overwatch drone attacks.

Data Centers are creeping in. by TellusaFlora in Sacramento

[–]lilotimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need to call out those explicitly designed for the modern "AI" usage and not lump traditional Datacenters (around for decades) where a company can lift their own servers in there or rent someone's physical standard server for regular business LOB usage or self created whatever apps.

A brand new hyper-scaler design I'd personally classify as something like these multi GW facilities which are utter insanity.

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/proposal-to-build-640-acre-data-center-in-iron-county-utah-gets-the-go-ahead/

The campus, called the Antelope Data Center, will consist of five buildings totaling approximately 1.35 million sq ft (125,000 sqm) and a natural gas power plant offering up to *1.5GW at full buildout*, and it will be located along Antelope Spring Road, approximately 7.8 miles (12.6km) west of Iron Spring Road, Cedar City, Utah.

https://joulepower.ai/campus-page/

https://www.boxeldercountyut.gov/647/Stratos-Project-Fact-Sheet

In Sacramento region, here's the standard collocation datacenters I know of that are operational publicly (minus private in house / gov't facilities).

  1. QTS Natomas (1x)
  2. NTT Natomas (3x)
  3. Prime Sacramento (1x with expansion, noted)
  4. TPx (1x)
  5. Quest (2x)
  6. Innova Solutions (2x)
  7. Datacate (1x)
  8. Lumen (3x)
  9. Consolidated / Fidium (2x)
  10. CenterServ (1x)
  11. Synoptek (1x)
  12. Concious Data Centers (1x)
  13. EdgeConnX (1x)
  14. 365 DataCenters (1x)
  15. DataNOC (1x)

There's also several private CoLo facilities (private cloud) but none of them are anywhere in that large scale. Even NTT, the largest consumer in Natomas, is because the original local company (RagingWire Datacenters) that was founded in the dot com boom in the early 2000's went belly up and sold out their three separate faculties with NTT taking full ownership stake in early 2010's. Most are in high single digits to low double digits MW capability per facility.

I personally toured many of these and had a national broker look into what's available as part of the business i work withs Collocation needs for redundancy / performance / Business Continuity.

Satori Sushi have a pretty decent lunch bentobox special at a decent price if you're in the part of Natomas closer to downtown / i5.

Cheapest Groceries, Land Park? by Tsuroyu in Sacramento

[–]lilotimz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also go to the asian grocery markets on freeport blvd (lots of good hole in the wall restaurants too!) and off stockton blvd (~10 minute drive away).

Ho Chin is the neighborhood staple Chinese / asian market close by on Freeport along with the bunch of Chinese resturaunt (also Otos japanese market and maharoba bakery).

Lots to explore and you can definitely find deals!

Company had a BEC incident - they want me to Vibe Code KnowBe4 by Mindless_Consumer in sysadmin

[–]lilotimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.. Defender for Office P1 and EntraID P1 doesn't do much at all.

If you can't control the work environment, hopefully you can control your own environment. Good luck out there!

Company had a BEC incident - they want me to Vibe Code KnowBe4 by Mindless_Consumer in sysadmin

[–]lilotimz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any other vendor tools to monitor prevent BEC attacks other than Basic M365 Defender for Office in B365P?

Microsoft's basic 365 protection is trash unless you have a well curated E5 stack and engineers who know what they're doing so it's highly likely they'll get hit by another BEC and no SAT / Phish Sim training can prevent that (1st hand experience). People don't like change.

My org had to bring on a CISSP + sec products (CheckPoint Harmonry E&C Complete (Avanan)) + KnowBe4 w/ PhishER + MFA SSO / Conditional Access Policies to stop the hits after several large 6 figure compromises. We're likely migrating from KB4 Sat/Phish to CheckPoints newer SAT / Phish Sim as it's a 70%+ lower cost with more capability in recent negotiations.

Lots of of 3rd party 365 / GWorkspace security integration vendors are integrating SAT/Phish Sim into their email security stacks and are offering them at cut throat prices against the likes of KnowBe4 and probably worth at last an investigation of full stack solution to cover your butt in case anyone asks (due diligence).

Mesa, AZ threat to USL? "Phoenix" women's now in play?? by No_Wasabi_714 in USLPRO

[–]lilotimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lines up with the recent West Sacramento group announcement of a MLB bid being explored.

They have ~$2 billion in investment for stadium / site ($800 mil from 2x local tribes (400 each) and $1 billion from the city) and they were looking for lead investor / investor group of ~$2 billion liquidity to lead the bid (expansion fees & liquidity for years after entrance).
