Sieving the last few drops of 6 quarts of harvested honey.
Probably our last harvest of the year. Two of the hives are still chugging along and should pack on stores before the winter.
One hive is desperate and I’m probably going to need to pinch the queen and combine them then split in the spring.
The joys and heartbreaks of #beekeeping in one day with the hives.
A imagem mostra um recipiente transparente contendo várias pequenas bolachas ou biscoitos redondos e de formato cilíndrico. As bolachas têm uma cor dourada-avermelhada, indicando que foram assadas, e apresentam uma textura ligeiramente irregular com pequenas manchas escuras, possivelmente de especiarias ou ingredientes adicionais. Elas estão empilhadas de forma desordenada, com algumas sobrepostas, e estão dispostas sobre uma superfície branca, que parece ser uma mesa ou uma superfície de cozinha. No canto inferior esquerdo da imagem, há texto que diz "REDMI NOTE 12 5G" e "MEUTEDIO.COM", e no canto inferior direito, a data e hora "31/08/2025 21:21".

My PCjr forum is basically getting DDoS'ed by IP addresses that point back to Tencent. It looks like AI bots scraping everything.
I got tired of playing whack-a-mole and I restricted access to the site for anonymous users. The instructions for joining now have a blurb about the Tiananmen Square massacre just in the case the great firewall can help me. And I'm aggressively blocking large subnets.
Does anybody have good tools for blocking by ASN ?
Jorge reshared this.
@motoridersd That's basically what I've done so far. I used the tools ag bgp.he.net to get a list of IPv4 prefixes for the offending ASN, ran it through some filters, and generated iptables block commands from it.
The list is thousands of entries long so I simplified it by converting everything to /16s, which is blocking too much but at this point I'm tired of the whack-a-mole and I don't care.

The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post. The post is from a user named Sam, with the handle [@]SAMiCURE. The profile picture shows two men in suits, smiling, with a small dog in the background. The tweet reads: "Straight people will say that LGBT education isn't age appropriate but will ask toddlers if they have a girlfriend." The tweet is timestamped at 12:12 pm on 05/03/2019, and it was posted using the Twitter Web Client. The background of the tweet is white, and the text is in black, with the username and handle in gray.

Psychopathic regime!
“ …judge … temporarily blocked…” Trump regime “…from deporting … Guatemalan children who … crossed the border without their families … the youngsters were loaded onto planes overnight and in violation of laws affording protections for migrant kids.”
apnews.com/article/immigration…
Knowing Trump as a grifter conman I signed for his political emails in 2016 to see how he manipulated his cult.
Today has a glaring example of his gaslighting propaganda. A flat out lie! HE DID NOT ELIMINATE SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES. His big bullsh’t bill only has a temporary tax credit. Cult conned.
If you haven’t read this essay from last week, you should. Maybe you’ll even want to sing-up for the newsletter.

The image is a line graph titled "Sea level change since 1993 (mm)" from NASA/JPL, showing the global mean sea level changes from 1993 to 2039. The graph features two lines: a green line representing the smoothed Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) with Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) applied, and a gray line representing the projection. The green line starts at around -0.15 mm in 1993 and shows a gradual increase, reaching approximately 72 mm in 2016. The gray projection line begins at the same point and continues to rise steadily, reaching about 101 mm by 2039. The x-axis shows the years, and the y-axis represents the sea level change in millimeters. The graph indicates a significant increase in sea levels over the past decades and projects a continued rise in the future.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph with two lines: a green line representing "New internal displacements (disasters)" and a gray line representing "Projection." The green line shows historical data from 2008 to 2020, with peaks and troughs, and then transitions to a projection from 2027 to 2045. The gray line starts from 2027 and shows an upward trend, indicating an increase in projected new internal displacements due to disasters. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 16.9 million, and the x-axis spans from 2008 to 2045. The source of the data is indicated as "IDMC via World Bank / Our World in Data." The graph is visually divided into two sections: historical data and projections, with a vertical line at 2027 marking the transition.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph with the y-axis labeled from $0 to $499.6 billion, representing global disaster damages, and the x-axis from 1900 to 2045. The graph shows two lines: a green line for historical global disaster damages and a gray line for projections. The green line starts at $0 in 1900, remains low until the 1990s, and then shows significant fluctuations, peaking around 2005 and 2010. The gray line begins in 2021 and projects an upward trend, indicating an expected increase in disaster damages. The source of the data is EM-DAT via Our World in Data, noted as not inflation-adjusted. The dashboard includes three tabs: "Global CO2," "Disaster damages," and "New displacements," with the "Disaster damages" tab highlighted.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph titled "Global CO₂" with a green line representing global CO₂ emissions, including land-use change, from 1850 to 2045. The graph shows a steady increase in CO₂ emissions over time, with a notable rise after 1950. The y-axis is labeled with gigatons (Gt) of CO₂, ranging from 0 to 52.2 Gt, and the x-axis is labeled with years from 1850 to 2045. A vertical gray line marks the year 2013, indicating projections beyond this point. The source of the data is the Global Carbon Project via Our World in Data. The dashboard also includes tabs for "Disaster damages" and "New displacements," though these are not detailed in the image.

The image is a line graph titled "GLOBAL TEMPERATURE (NASA GISTEMP V4)" with the subtitle "Temperature anomalies vs 1951–1980." The graph shows the global annual temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2024, with the y-axis representing temperature anomalies in degrees Celsius and the x-axis representing years. The green line represents the GISTEMP global annual temperature anomalies, showing an overall upward trend with fluctuations. The baseline for GISTEMP is 1951–1980, which is approximately 0.2–0.3 °C lower than the baseline used for the Paris targets (1.5 °C/2.0 °C) defined against 1850–1900. The graph indicates a significant increase in temperature anomalies over time, with a notable rise in the latter part of the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century.

A Private Company Fighting Online Piracy Can't Act With Impunity
The issue of pirate IPTV overblocking by LaLiga was raised in Congress this week for a second time. Political party ERC called for urgent intervention by the Spanish state. "A private company cannot act with impunity and indiscriminately in defense of its business," said spokesperson Gabriel Rufián. Not only does LaLiga take issue with the terminology, its position remains unchanged. Because it's a "supervised judicial procedure with very restrictive safeguarding criteria," there is no overblocking. At least not of anything important, LaLiga says.
