What a twat.

You ever saw a electric fence at a high security installation? I just texted a guard at nearby prison and he said theirs are 5000 volts. He said when its humid they tingle when you get a few feet away. He also says they will kill you dead. He goes on to say its why they have another fence as a barrier to prevent people who don’t respect them from killing themselves. I know the ones at a nuke were marked lethal and would kill birds from time to time. They were just marked high voltage but the plant guys told us they were very high voltage at a higher frequency.

Wheres the Gorn?

I’m not telling you. You can figure it out yourself.

The reference is to a old action movie called Demolition Man. In the movie there was only one restaurant that survived the franchise wars. In the US it was Taco Bell and in Europe it was Pizza hut.

You can also read up on the Three Seashells.

Ours moved in to a strip mall and went pick up or delivery only. The old location is a really over priced shitty coffee house now.

They only won that in the non US version. Here in the US it was Taco Bell

People spend a lot of time on this one. It must suck to be losing to snap.

I was just thinking either box or the phone has to go next.

Except on my networks all port 53 tcp/udp and port 853 for that matter are forwarded to my dns per firewall rules. I also block all encrypted dns as well as dns over https blocked. Its my dns or nothing. I also have a vpn and proxy blocklist that updates twice a day. PFblockerNG is effective when maintained.

In 2014 when I was in the hospital for a week I got a visit from their IT. Seems like pushing 5 to 10 gig a day through a ssh connection triggered something. Just a gig of ICMP of any variety would trip a alarm.

Thanks again google. I had never heard of this app until you banned it. Now I’m running it on my phone. Top notch advertising for your competition.

Been working fine for me for twenty years or more in a mixed environment.

Thanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.

Newsflash there are plenty of stupid people with perfect grammar.

Sounds like a really stupid person at the passport place that thinks their smart. Pretty typical.

Solution, I block all lemmy.ml communities I see in my feed.

Jessica Rosenworcel is handing out money right now. I saw her speak in 2023 and she was quite enthusiastic about all the money they were handing out. I looked at the structure of it and its the same as what they were doing during Bush’s and Obama’s administrations. Its a farce and it will just pad the bottom line of the major telcos without building one more mile of physical plant. Just like all the other times. Until some type of limit on payment is implemented similar to erate which is now under attack nothing will ever happen other than the money will disappear.

And in the late 2000’s. And again a few years later. And as of last year they, the FCC is once again throwing money at them without any real oversight. I worked for a ISP in 2010 and we couldn’t get any of the money because a bank had first lean on the company USDA demanded that before any money could be approved. AT&T got money for our area and their footprint shrank the next year when they cut off dial-up customers in the area.

There are reports that the vouchers handed out were canceled before anyone could use them.
