Tip for well-meaning people doing diversity monitoring: if your form expects trans women to, at any point, tick anything that says “male”, then that is profoundly offensive and most of us will just lie to you.
Please stop doing this.

There will come a time when the Raspberry Pi Foundation does not require a super secret mythical combination of USB C power supply and cable that is only dubiously complainant and can only be obtained on the third Thursday of the months with no R in them.
That time is not now.

Given how they were told of by the AUTHOR of the power delivery portion of the spec because of what they did to the 4, you'd think they'd have made *some* effort on the 5.
But hey, this version has AI in it, so yay?

Repeatedly, the trajectory of anti-trans politics is an immediate spike in panic / support, followed by a sharp decline.As "parents' rights" panic collapses in the US, Canadian conservatives are setting themselves up for a losing battle. #cdnpoli

@mercedesallen I’m sort of hoping this - the whole counterrevolution against any process made since the 60s - is all an extinction spike, like the anti abortion referendum in Ireland in the 1980s.
Not confident, but hopeful.

Increasingly getting the impression that MacOS Sonoma is a lemon, and best avoided.
Interestingly, when it bricked my M1 Pro MBP, and I had to recover from the recovery partition, it reinstalled Ventura.
And the new Macs ship with Ventura, with no Sonoma upgrade available.
Now seeing that the 14.1 update has screwed a load of webcam stuff used by remote workers.
I think I'm gonna keep my MBP on Ventura for now. My Mac mini server is on Sonoma, but all that's doing is hosting Linux VMs.

Every so often I encounter someone who is very stridently advocating for understanding and sympathy for narcissists, to the point of sacrificing yourself to give them what they crave: supply.
And every time I smile, nod, and then instantly file them in the same mental drawer as “psychotic tiger in a bad mood”.
Never believe their bullshit, ever.

@Llwynog yeah. Once you’re wise to their shit, you can defend yourself.
But if you don’t understand, and they’re in a position of power over you, that’s when they can do profound damage. A lot of us who were raised by them evolve coping strategies, but when you’re a kid having to defend yourself against the person who is supposed to be nurturing you, it causes life long damage.
We also tend to be on high alert for them, constantly. If someone behaves in a way that triggers my narcissist response, it’s instant fight or flight, with a heavy dose of grey rocking.
This has actually served me quite well, but it’s a fucked up superpower to have.

the endless guilt-tripping is their most powerful tool. Covert Ns are really insidious because they present themselves as shy, introverted, morally superior and even sweet, initially. They're masters at mental gymnastics.
Playing the victim, endlessly talking about themselves and constantly complaining are my three N red flags.
Do you have any advice on how to detect (covert) Ns before they can do much harm? Any specific behaviours to watch out for?

So it seems there are still, despite increasing numbers of “leaders” involved in “crypto” ending up in prison for being con artists, true believers in NFTs (if you’ve forgotten about those, they were briefly bigger than COVID 19 and about as beneficial to humanity) held a party in Hong Kong last night.
The organisers thought they were lighting the stage with black lights (like they have at LaserQuest to make your clothes glow).
They were not.
They were lighting the stage with UV-C sterilisation lights.
Apparently everyone involved is now in accident and emergency with extensive sunburn and BURNS TO THEIR RETINAS!!
In 18 months there are going to be a bunch of people wearing dark sunglasses and refusing to meet outdoors trying to sell you something expensive to do with “AI”. You probably shouldn’t buy it.

Had a look at the Reddit crypto forums last night because who doesn't love a bit of schadenscrolling. They're still neck deep in Kool Aid, all going, "buy the dip! buy the dip!"
Guys, the people you are "buying" from keep going to prison for doing a runner to the Caribbean with the money. The only thing you are buying is new yachts for scammers.
READ THE ROOM. You have been conned. It's not nice to be conned, I get it. A guy once conned me out of 10 quid in front of Kings Cross Station in the 90s and I felt shit about that.
But you have been. Right now, you are throwing good money after bad. You aren't starting from where you were before you threw all your savings at these crooks. You are starting from now, and you are falling for the sunk cost fallacy.
You aren't getting your money back. Quit while you're behind. I'm sorry.

There is one good use for cryptocurrencies - crime.
Which is the only reason I can conceive of that Bitcoin has risen all this year. After we destroy most of our ecosystem, Bitcoin will be seen by the survivors as one of the many signs of the collective mental illness of our society.

!Selfhosted I have an #OpenWRT router. Let’s say I install Tailscale on it and want to create an interface that specifically routes to one of my exit nodes. Can I do that?
Everything I’ve seen about Tailscale on OpenWRT just provides direct router access to the tailnet (100.x.x.x), but I specifically want to route certain traffic to an exit node.
Can I do this? Do me proud, Fediverse! Hoping I can get good answers here without resorting to Reddit.
like this
I’ve done something similar, though not with openwrt. There may be a decent way to do this on the firewall, but I ended up using the ACLs available from the Tailscale console.
I removed the default allow all rule. I made a group called admins that can access everything and then added a set of routes that everyone on the tail net could access.
I’ve only recently set this up, but initial testing seems to have this working as hoped.
I'm not sure this hits the nail for you or not, but I recently solved a question I had regarding tailscale and routing traffic through an exitnode that was using a VPN. Could be worth a peek.
Solution was Docker and Gluetun ✨

Dark arts mastery: Created a Linux x86 VM on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Within that Linux VM, created a docker container of Ubuntu with some personalised stuff.
On that container, built another one with the OpenWRT builder for RPi 4
Used that docker container to build a new OpenWRT image
Booted it on a spare RPi 4 and restored the backup of my OpenWRT config to it.
Took my actual OpenWRT router down, inserted the flash card I'd just created, and powered it back up.
Everything. Worked.
If you roll your own router, it's useful to know that you can recreate it were it to go tits-up, and I can!
like this
OpenWRT is useful (using it on two APs currently), but boy can networking and setting it up be an endless circle of confusion:(
Good luck!
Got a box for a router now, so it’s going to be pfSense or OpnSense for now. Hoping they will give me lots of good features.
But swapping over will be a bit of a nervous thing. But also why I need APs 😀
Also running on open software, because I don’t trust networking stuff anymore. Especially not the terrible ISPs:(
@Becky I'll also note that you can't bridge VMs on 2 different VLANs to the same physical ethernet port on UTM and if you try, neither will work.
I discovered this in the traditional manner.
(UTM on a different VLAN to the one the Mac is using natively is fine, this only applies to VMs)
Which is why my Mac Mini has TWO ethernet ports both connected now.
