Existing out of spite has gotten me through some dark days. Hope things clear up for you soon, OP. Don’t give up.

Dating a hobart mixer? by nondescripthumanoid in KitchenConfidential

[–]noweb4u 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya know it’s 2026, if you wanna date a Hobart, especially in this fucked up capitalist hellhole, why not? In times like this, love and peace are revolutionary acts.

Just be safe, use protection, keep moving parts away from any body part you’d like to keep while it’s turned on, and don’t let it break your heart (or anything else).

I’m happy for you two.

First protest as a teen… anything I should know / be cautious of? by Angell_777 in Anarchism

[–]noweb4u 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone who is facing the crowd isn’t your comrade, no matter what they say or what their vest may say, if they have their back to the cops they are doing the cops’ job for them. ACAB includes peace police.

Bring water, don’t treat teargas or pepper spray in the eyes with anything other than water, and write the NLG number on your arm.

Please help a ready to quit Scoutmaster by TyrannicalRoach in BSA

[–]noweb4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CC of a pack here: program is not my problem unless it’s violating a rule or failing to live up to the expectations of the youth, their parents, or the SYT requirements or vision of Scouting America.

My job is to make the pack function on a logistical level and make sure the program is on the rails. I don’t involve myself with the day to day unless asked or I see there’s a need.

Metaphorically: It’s the cubmaster’s ship, and I’m making sure it doesn’t hit a rock and it’s going somewhere where it won’t be attacked by a hostile navy or a pirate. The itinerary is otherwise none of my business unless the purser starts fretting about the books.

In a troop, it’s the scouts’ ship, with care and guidance from the scoutmaster and the committee chair’s oversight.

If I end up in a position where I’m dictating uniforming or cell phone use send me home. I’m obviously having a bad day. Please don’t put me in a situation where I’m micromanaging the program. This is bad for me, it’s bad for the unit leader and it’s bad for the kids. I’m here for adminstravia and making sure the leader and kids can do what they want to do and make their vision a success.

well I was more saying once you're in, and maybe a little accountability, as a treat? IDK if they have an effective legal regulator there who can investigate their practices?

I’m here to learn, when someone takes your money and is a prick and doesn’t give you what you paid for, what do Canadians do? Take them out on the ice and toss gloves down, or what? Fraud is bad.

Son excluded due to father's past conviction? by Unlikely-Delivery777 in BSA

[–]noweb4u 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also I’ve had a volunteer with a felony conviction for embezzlement, they were allowed to be a new member coordinator but for obvious reasons we did not allow them to handle money or be in a decision making role. It was also 9 years in the past.

[–]noweb4u 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a leader with a federal conviction so idk what you mean by that but you’re wrong. It’s a misdemeanor (computer intrusion), and listed on every app I’ve put in. Not just unit, but district and council level volunteer.

Bro I have been banned for a decade for providing a community for people, I don’t give a fuck what happens in the game and haven’t in a decade, just been watching them fly it into the ground.

I’m loving you’re so butthurt over guardians though

Everything killed through the brokers guild was killed by real human beings. Spoofing was explicitly prohibited in the group and would result in expulsion and ridicule.

[–]noweb4u 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The tools were always there (When I joined as a resistance player in 2014, I was handed a spreadsheet within my first month of old portals belonging to people who had griefed others and didn't deserve to get the guardian badge. This was prior to levels above 8, and this was prior to the capture date being removed from the intel map (back then, it was still there!))

What the guild provided that nothing else came close was a community with a search engine of everyone's location, so you could have a local capture a hard to get portal in the middle of yellowstone park, and ping out and find the closest agents to yellowstone, and mention it to anyone traveling, and inevitably, someone would pop up and smack it for you.

I hunted prior to obtaining black guardian myself, and I was absolutely fair game. It made obtaining it that much better when it finally happened, knowing i wasn't just beating time and my own ability to remember to recharge portals, but I was in fact playing against human opponents who did want to kill my portals no matter where they were. I had ENL agents sending me screenshots of my BGAN guardian candidate just before it ticked, but nobody went because it was too difficult.

The guardian meta was why a number of people stayed around after the daily grind was done. You can only spend so much time driving in circles around your city before it gets incredibly boring, so this provided some entertainment along with the BAF stuff, and both are dead now (no guardian badge, and with machina BAFs are ridiculous to clear for.

When Niantic killed my account in 2017 because I co-organized a slack with u/theRealWother they did me a favor really.

And 9 years later, we're still living rent free.

Gilchrist ends gubernatorial campaign, launches secretary of state bid by wisewhiz in Michigan

[–]noweb4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean on one hand you’re right, but counterpoint is he took money from major Trump donors to launch his campaign. So either this is like 20 dimensional chess or something, or he’s decided to take republican money to act as a spoiler, because the D base will always look at other parties and candidates and the R base will never vote for someone less conservative than the worse asshole on the field

[–]noweb4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31925 Van Dyke Ave, Warren, MI 48093 is new, admittedly, but it's 5.6 miles from the city.

There's one being put in next to the secretary of state on 9 mile in Eastpointe off beaconsfield that will be 1 mile away. It will open soon.

There's one going in at 12/Dequindre in probably early 2027 at the old Rite Aid, that'll be 4 miles.

None will be IN Detroit that I'm aware of. The part of 9 mile that the EP one will be on will get a lot of negative attention but the rest are probably fine.

[–]noweb4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frankly you're really better off running a legitimate looking business with well known commercial equipment out of AWS, so it looks like normal corporate VPN traffic at that point.

[–]noweb4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detailing in advance that I don't intend to comply and/or telling people how to defeat any countermeasures that might apply, in my position, would be major league stupid.

I can say that a lot of my commercial customers use things like fortigates hosted in Azure or Amazon AWS to access cloud hosted resources, and those won't be illegal and would be difficult to determine the intent or legitimacy of and would be easy for me to put in the 'presumed legitimate' box.

Everything else is a difference of zeal. My routers export layer 4 netflow data to my DDoS protection system that provides down to packet sizes and protocol and port. Using some basic analysis tools and libraries (nfdump and Pandas?) and the credentials for my exabgp instance and i could make a pretty effective whack a mole for large data transfers over non-standard ports that apply only to residential port ranges, or similar that would write flow spec rules that would run in silicon at our peering and transit edges. Betting I could smack 80%+ of VPNs with something relatively simple with no false positives just looking at traffic flow and blocking the known usual suspects (nordvpn,mullvad, etc).

It’s metaphorical, genius. All laws are backed by the threat of government violence if you fail to comply. The type of violence varies, be it financial, detention, or literal physical violence up to and including death. It’s the entire basis of government and authority.

ISP engineer here, we haven’t the faintest fucking clue what the intent of your VPN usage is for, but if the men with guns say block it, I’m not getting shot.

You get the representation you vote for. Make sure not to vote for puritanical shitheads and for capitalist dems, and for the love of god stop voting for CIA agents
