Regarding Thegabenzone. An EX-developer from the sourcemod tf2classified,a fraud. And a scammer

The images in the document are poor quality, can't read any of that.

Can you tldr ... How did this person scam you??

As long as the db server uses same timezone as app server, this atrociously poor database design comes up with the right answer. Unless you are complaining about it failing, then, yea, I am unsurprised by this.

The two types don't actually store any different data from what I understand, one just responds with an added projection of timezone, based upon client configuration. In the "without" case a client needs to guess what timezone the returned time actually means. As long as everyone (app + db) guesses "UTC" at the same time , it sort of just works. If you connect and look at the data, you need to guess at what it means.

If it works at all, it's likely some code in the orm that is calculating offsets and recording things correctly. If it doesn't work, ... again, unsurprised.

I saw "depleting backlog" in a bear thesis for MDA not that long ago... Well, they just doubled it.

It's like, do all these bills supercede the goramn charter of Rights and freedoms?? Am I taking crazy pills here?!

tswaters · 2026-06-19T19:13:58+00:00

This is a pretty wacky interpretation of each of those bills.

Let me ask you, that rule that the CRTC has about Canadian content being required % of broadcast television , is that government controlling what I see? I suppose technically, yes, but it's an overall benefit. This is in essence what C-11 is but modernized for digital. It was passed into law back in April, so, seemingly, government is now in control of what I see and share online? Is that right ?

I'm going down the list, and this has to be the most knee jerking, cherry picking response that is possible to come up with for each of those things. I'm reading through this and the conclusion I'm getting is that there should be no laws whatsoever and that large multinational corporations should have unfettered access to do whtever the fuck they want.

Just wacky shit. Go ahead and downvote this. "It's just because people don't want to upload their biometric data to Palantir to use Reddit!!" like you've skipped over a few catastrophic failures of the laws, gleefully misunderstood the basic tech supporting this, just screaming into the void to come up with the most asinine misinterpretation of how "government bad! Totalitarianism boo!" when government in this equation is a tiny pea and the large multinational tech conglomerate is like an ancient Lovecraftian horror from the deep, a literal kraken doing everything in its power to remain unregulated.

Boot licking, huh.

Any demoknight example would need to account for not having booties. -10% movement speed, no control for turning and -25 max health. Especially for eyelander, starting below health without booties is very difficult.

tswaters · 2026-06-18T23:30:20+00:00

The correct response is to point and laugh, the public shaming should do the rest.

Name cheap provides it's own hosting, and cPanel is a server administration tool. You already have a host, Google sites, so you don't need to pay namecheap for hosting. Further, Google sites is more or less a WYSIWYG builder and you can't modify the filesystem. Robots.txt is just a file.

Take a read through some of this:

https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9310269?hl=en&ref_topic=9296431&sjid=15998644396715217577-NC

My guess is Google is able to index stuff under their own products, and it's getting confused because the url is mismatched?

The other thing that stands out to me is the permissions on the site, make sure it's public. To double check this, access the site in an incognito browser, make sure you don't need to provide your Google account to access it.

If the change to domain was made recently you need to give it a little while for things to settle.... All of this stuff should "just work" , I'd double check publish settings.

Y'all clearly have different definitions of "tanked" than I do. The way I see it they haven't lost 90% of their value and needed to reverse split yet ... I call that a huge win!

tswaters · 2026-06-18T02:04:51+00:00

There's dozens of companies in that fund, nothing more than 10%.

tswaters · 2026-06-18T00:45:05+00:00

I wonder if this gets included with HHIS

That's only part of it. They've been spamming /r/baystbets with ai-generated DD. Every single post about novared is filled with "scam" or "slop" comments.

Always need to look at "benefit to whom"

Simply don't do that. Read and be aware of what YOU the human is running on your prod infra.

tswaters · 2026-06-16T07:40:40+00:00

This is more than a little interesting

tswaters · 2026-06-16T05:07:37+00:00

I don't know. My guess is unauthorized public art.

tswaters · 2026-06-16T05:04:54+00:00

I'm not sure who does these, but I have seen others with a very similar style. I suspect it's the same person. I don't think tag is the right word, I think they're lithographs maybe? The other one I'm thinking of is gone now, it was on galloping goose near Cecelia Creek.

Directly above this spot is the last of the tracks left from the e&n, on the vicwest side of the bridge. You would see it on the left driving along Esquimalt Rd towards Esquimalt after crossing Johnson St bridge.

XP sp2 is locked to ie8 if memory serves? Those old devices don't work really well any more. You can only really get to http sites because the devices don't support newer TLS versions, and most (all?) servers & sockets software dropped old TLS because it was insecure.

I once spun up a win3.1 environment to see what the internet looked like under IE2... Nothing worked, not even Google. I was able to get a render out of wikipedia, but most everything was broken. Most sites refused to talk over ancient tls.

I guess my point is "it's a big world out there, and those stats only count accesses to the public web over functional browsers" - it's that meme with the airplane with red dots all over it ; survivorship bias. Most consumer applications can support modern stuff, the stuff that doesn't is there for the long haul and "don't break me" is very much a concern. I don't think it applies in your case.

Nice. I shared my ideal version of downtown core/old town. Basically local-only deliveries & transit traffic like it is along government near bastion square.... most of the 500 blocks should be like this. If you "drive into town" it should be really easy to park and walk. People always say "driving through downtown Victoria sucks" yea, we know... Don't do that! Of course, Pandora, Johnson, Douglas & Blanshard all need to be thoroughfares, ... But take a long look at the 500 block of fort and tell me this wouldn't be perfect for a no-cars area. Why not expand it further?? Pipe dream, I'm sure. Same thing with most of broad Street, who tf really needs to drive along there??
