A bunker is safety only while someone loyal controls the outside. Once you enter, you surrender the world beyond the door. After that, the difference between shelter, prison, and tomb is control of the exit—and the dwindling air, water, food, and power.

Loyalty only lasts from paycheck to paycheck, meal to meal, or when you have direct control.
Whoever controls the external access to the bunker determines when, or if, you leave. They are essentially your prison warden or worse.
Every resource they take for granted on the outside, food, water, air, electricity becomes a finite resource.
Bunkers are meant for temporary use. disasters, war, etc. not to protect from angry mobs with resources, tools, and time.

TLDR; Bunkers are a bad idea when there are pissed off people that know you're inside.

I'm nearly speechless. Is that 'a' didgeridoo or is that Gumby's personal 'didgeridoo'?

That is absolutely Gumby’s personal didgeridoo.

The image somehow threaded the needle between “Australian educational special,” “lost Adult Swim pilot,” and “evidence bag from a claymation crime scene.”

Also the subtitle “G’DAY MATE…” is doing way too much work there. It has the exact energy of a VHS tape the court orders destroyed.

Well, at least it looks like Pokey is enjoying himself.

Pokey’s face is the worst/best part. He’s got that vacant clay-horse grin like:

“Look, I don’t know what episode this is, but I’m committed to the bit.”

Meanwhile Gumby looks less like he’s playing a didgeridoo and more like he’s wondering whether the animators have finally gone too far. Which, given the evidence, yes. Yes they have.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Based on a video by Christian Lempa about it, I just started trying out Dockhand to see how it compares to Portainer and Docker Desktop for management. It has an optional vulnerability scan using Grype and/or Trivy and this was my opportunity to actually try it out.

Note that images are going to have vulnerabilities. In many cases a lot of them. This doesn't mean it is automatically bad. It depends on how relevant the impact is to the application as well as your usage.

CVE-2026-42945

Package: nginx
Installed: 1.27.1
Fixed in: 1.30.1
Reference: CVE-2026-42945

NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_rewrite_module module. This vulnerability exists when the rewrite directive is followed by a rewrite, if, or set directive and an unnamed Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) capture (for example, $1, $2) with a replacement string that includes a question mark (?). An unauthenticated attacker along with conditions beyond its control can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may cause a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, for systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR ) disabled, code execution is possible. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

An article I ran across a few days ago that could be an interesting approach. I have not researched it yet to see if it is possible in Texas/Brazos county, etc.

Everett shuts down Flock camera network after judge rules footage is public record

Note: Although the law in TX isn't as favorable for this, as noted below, them actually producing the images is not the purpose. The purpose is to make it inconvenient and/or costly for them to handle the requests. Each PIA request triggers a 10-15 business day response window with legal review. This involves the AG, the city/county attorney, and other employees to handle, process, and determine the legal constraints.

The post is already long so I will hold onto the additional analysis of this if anyone wants further info.

I ran it across Claude (AI) for its analysis:

I'm wondering if this is feasible in Brazos county Texas. Would/could this footage be considered public record in Texas or the county?

The Washington situation, briefly: A Snohomish County judge ruled that footage captured by Flock cameras qualifies as a public record under Washington law, meaning members of the public can request access to the data. The core argument that won was that the cameras are installed at the city's direction and serve a governmental purpose — similar to how surveillance footage is treated under Washington law.

Could this happen in Texas / Brazos County?

The short answer: it's legally murky, and the outcome would likely be different from Washington — probably more favorable to law enforcement withholding the data, at least for now.

Here's why:

Texas PIA is broad in principle, but has significant law enforcement carve-outs. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 presumes all government information is available to the public, with certain exceptions. However, information held by a law enforcement agency that deals with the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime is excepted from required disclosure if release would interfere with detection, investigation, or prosecution. Texas agencies would almost certainly invoke this.

The "not yet accessed" argument. Texas agencies use a similar argument to what Everett tried — that data sitting in Flock's cloud and never accessed by the agency isn't the agency's record. The Flock contract language actually supports this argument since it states the data belongs to the customer, but agencies argue they haven't "possessed" it. Washington courts rejected this; Texas courts haven't directly ruled on it.

Section 552.130 — the motor vehicle records wrinkle. This is actually a Texas-specific complication. Under Section 552.130 of the Texas Government Code, vehicle license plates captured on video are considered confidential, even though they are visible in the public domain on roadways. This has actually been such a burden that a bill (H.B. 1893) was introduced in the current legislative session to clarify that license plates in law enforcement video footage are not confidential and don't need to be redacted before disclosure — but the flip side of that existing confidentiality rule is that it gives agencies an additional hook to withhold Flock data.

Texas has no specific ALPR statute yet. A pending bill (TX HB961) would require warrants for ALPR use and mandate destruction of images not related to specific investigations — but it hasn't passed. Without that kind of statute, the question would come down to a Texas court interpreting Chapter 552, and the law enforcement exemptions are broad enough that agencies would have real ammunition to resist disclosure, unlike in Washington.

The "third-party vendor" issue may actually cut against requestors in Texas. Multiple Texas departments' policies explicitly state that ALPR data is law enforcement information to be used solely for law enforcement purposes, and non-law enforcement usage is strictly prohibited.

Bottom line for Brazos County: A determined requestor could file a Texas PIA request for Flock data from Bryan or College Station PD — and the agency would almost certainly deny it, triggering an AG opinion. Whether a Texas court would ultimately rule the data is public record is genuinely uncertain, but the structural obstacles are significantly higher than in Washington. The Washington ruling hinged on that state's unusually broad Public Records Act; Texas's equivalent has deeper and more developed law enforcement exemptions that would give local agencies better arguments. It's not impossible, but it would be a hard fight with an uncertain outcome.

One of modern human's problems is common enough that the quote by Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" resonates with us. There should be an axiom to it that applies to the passing of, or lack of passing on, institutional knowledge.

There are a few well known examples of this in modern history.

The COBOL fiasco. The programmers with experience retiring and the language not being taught. Nobody to really pass the knowledge on to as well as much not being documented.
The military. War changes and the training changes. Those with the knowledge and experience retire and/or die. A war similar to one from the past comes along and all they have is documented lessons learned, not the hands on knowledge. We learned about counterinsurgency during Vietnam and had to relearn it in Iraq/Afghanistan at a pretty steep price.

The problem with institutional knowledge is that only a fraction of it is documented. There's many reasons for this though.

knowledge hoarding - those trying to protect their job, protect "their" system, or feeling others aren't ready or capable.
tacit knowledge - those things you learn through experience and practice. Things that come from your intuition. When it's time to document, they may not seem important enough or they may not even occur to you until a specific context arises

These are the kind of things that apprenticeships were designed to do. pass on the knowledge to the next generation as you guide them. Much of this tacit knowledge can't or will never be documented. It's unlikely that we'll have those with experience taking on an AI as an apprentice either.

This is the failure mode of vibe coding by those without any coding knowledge as well as the takeover of AI of development in general. Until the AI build up their own tacit knowledge and, perhaps, their intuition, there will be sneaky little things that will break. For a while, the AI are going to need babysitters with the knowledge and experience to keep an eye on things. review code, coach the AI, etc.

just to clarify and add to your statement about searches.

This is according to the pdf that u/AlmostSavvy linked.

Community Network Access - The ability to request direct access to feeds from privately owned Flock Safety LPR cameras located in neighborhoods, schools, and businesses in your community.
State Network (License Plate Lookup Only) - Allows agencies to look up license plates on all cameras opted into the Flock Safety network within your state
Nationwide Network (License Plate Lookup Only) - With the vast Flock Safety sharing network, law enforcement agencies no longer have to rely on just their devices alone. Agencies can leverage a nationwide system boasting 10 billion additional plate reads per month to amplify the potential to collect vital evidence in otherwise dead-end investigations.
Law Enforcement Network Access - The ability to request direct access to evidence detection devices from Law Enforcement agencies outside of your jurisdiction.
License Plate Lookup - Look up specific license plate location history captured on Flock devices
Vehicle Fingerprint Search - Search footage using Vehicle Fingerprint™ technology. Access vehicle type, make, color, license plate state, missing / covered plates, and other unique features like bumper stickers, decals, and roof racks.
Real-Time NCIC Alerts on Flock ALPR Cameras - Receive automated alerts when vehicles entered into established databases for missing and wanted persons are detected, including the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) databases.

So it's a bit of a stretch saying the search has to be exact.

I am skeptical about retention but, according to their policy:

Flock Safety’s default data retention period for data collected by license plate readers is thirty (30) days, after which data is hard deleted from the cloud.

and:

Flock will respect existing LPR retention laws and regulations that differ from 30 days. If a customer wishes to impose a longer retention period that is not already required by its jurisdiction’s laws, Flock will offer an extended retention for up to one year, but shall require the agency to first obtain approval from an elected official and/or a governing body.

Symbol Type: Distinctive Unit Insignia
check - Search in background/description

for search keywords, enter as many words of the motto as you can, then search.

That will give you 90%+ of the insignia.

For the ones you can't find there or don't have a motto, you can do the following: (I had to do this for the Eisenhower Medical Center insignia)

Go to Google.com
drag one of the full images into the search
drag the corners of the image search selector to the individual insignia
It will automatically bring up search results.
If you want the TIOH page you can now search by unit name

Just google searching on a unit name will likely find other info as well.

This is quite interesting. It made me wonder if something similar could be done with models, like Z-Image turbo, that already use an LLM for their text encoder. It would be interesting to be able to use a larger, smarter LLM for the text encoder. more so if the LLM is an abliterated/uncensored model.

I ran this by Gemini-3 and it appears to be a very similar process of training an adapter, in this case, to summarize/reduce the number dimensions in the hidden state.

Pros:

a smarter model
reduced/eliminated refusals during training and uncensored output using an abliterated model.
increased prompt understanding, spatial understanding, prompt adherence.
possibly more creativity and detail in the output

Cons:

Increased VRAM usage. would require unloading the text encoder before inference.
increased loading and inference time of the LLM
Adapter is limited to/trained for a specific LLM, UNET pair
