Am I the only one who wants to read the entire damn Doug the Vulcan fan novel now, and find out about his parents totally obsessing over human anthropology but not quite getting it? #StrangeNewWorlds
I’m probably the only one who digs this
I note that it goes wider than his parents, gd parents uncle/aunt are in as well since the cousins were also named with earth/american name.

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".

Acoustics for the DJ are bad, echoing off the back of the arena out of sync, hopefully it will be corrected, but doubtful as gear is all staged and sound check missed it.

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.

in reply to Jason Lefkowitz • • •If you are sincerely concerned about “vehicle-borne marauders,” you really shouldn’t be fooling around with an AR-15. You should be packing a .50 caliber heavy machine gun or 20mm autocannon.
Where you would mount those weapons, I will leave as an exercise for the reader
