OMG you gotta look at this:

Nah, man. The answer is kids don’t need to be on the internet. They need to not be on the internet or on a data plan until they go to college and they gotta pay for that service.

It’s basically Google sticking its long long schlong between you and your kids.

Imagine you trying to open the door to your house and a Google rep shows up, asks you for a password and opens the door only when you have given it your password.

Imagine that same scenario when you try to do anything at home… Looking for underwater? Password please! Start you car? Nope, unless you got password. C’mon satisfy lord Google’s requirements!

So you want your kids to go on your phone that you purchased? First you need internet or this retarded process doesn’t work. Mmkay! You got Internet, now install a spy app on both phones and you’re good! Now just be sure you’re online and then give us the password, we’ll unlock your kids’ phone for the given amount of time.

And that’s what family link is. It’s a stupid excuse by Google to have their spying app installed on your phone.

Its Android

Yeah that looks though.

I just installed Calibre automated. It’s a better experience. But I’ve dumped a few PDFs in it and it can’t do full text search. I know they’re working on it, so I’m going to see where that goes. Calibre has the feature now… Sort of… But it’s not great if I can’t use it from my phone when I’m away.

Switching to Podman. Supposedly copilot has a gui for it.

My mom went thru so much, getting ignored as her joints got bigger and more damaged. She seems fine today but takes a number of blood pressure medication and glucosamine along with several other meds. I think I’m fairing better. But I’m definitely reminded of what could be coming my way so I keep an eye out for the news on this sort of thing.

Last year I was not aware of this link to inflammation. I’m also allergic or developed an allergic reaction to tomato and onion. I can still the have those things but I have to take an allergy pill. If I don’t, by nigh time I get severe heartburn and in a couple of days a hemorrhoid. And to top it off, in the morning I would have my hands sort of locked… Like glued together weakly. Or my finger joints would just feel very stiff.

So one day I got zantac 360 for my stomach. It worked but then I got to reading about the cancers zantac75 caused. So I went looking for alternatives and found that generic compound fomatodine which supposedly is better and safer. So then I got to thinking about my allergic, I ordered zirtec and that helped but it’s expensive. So my cheap brain tells me to search for an alternative. And when I tried it, it did help my allergy. A few weeks later I was wondering why I didn’t have a hemorrhoid yet.

All of these things are connected some how. I bet the doctors just need to be more open minded about their treatments.

I tried so many things. The doctor just gave me preparation H. Sure it helps you tolerate pooping. But how about living again! Loratadine seems to work in that respect. I’m watching closely for results of their trials. But it’s available on Amazon.

By the way, has anyone started reading about how allergy med Loraine is being tested for arthritis prevention:

Sorry for the posts links. My mom has osteoarthritis and I can definitely feel the pre symptoms like inflammation. I’m using this medication for allergic symptoms but it does seem to lower my inflammation. Definitely helps with inflammation that causes my hemorrhoids and heartburn too.

If it’s sunny lol.

The balls! Not the sausage! You give that back you little!

This absolutely makes sense.

See also the long lines at Disney World, six-flags, universal studios, Legoland, SeaWorld, etc. Add some fucking shade so your costumers don’t get cancer and stop going. I didn’t get cancer but I’ll let a hungry chihuahua bite my nuts off before willingly deciding to ever stand in line for a stupid ride ever again.

You’re right. It’s kind of how Michael Jackson music doesn’t mix well with orchestra music:

I’ll recommend this new VPN thing :

rayfish.xyz

Its new so its evolving quickly with weekly releases and nightly builds.

Lots of people have told me about their grievance list due to AI having a big part in the development. It’s a bunch of guys in the team, so there’s the human element there.

As for my opinion, it’s the only VPN I’ve managed to get working on my own.

I lost connection yesterday and I am not sure what happened but my home computer and my phone were on the same VPN constantly for a week. Jumping from the house WiFi to 5g didn’t break the VPN connection but it did take a few seconds the first time I did it.

My other option would be Tailscale.

I did. I looked into all the various VPN options. Tailscale and headscale are good options. I tried and failed to make them work for me. This one just worked very easily in comparison.

Genitalia picture password? How about those?

Thanks! I like my free ponytail!

No, actually rayfish creates a tunnel network such that cloudflare is not needed for self-hosted things like immich or navidrome. You can connect to those by the IP overlay from rayfish or its hostname also created by rayfish. If your phone or home IP change, the actual overlay IPs stay the same. The two devices reconnect otheir own. So truly Cloudflare can go pound sand and report the 30,000 hits it protected me from AI. Ofcourse I guess I could use their DNS to keep a searchable FQN AA record.

Oh so it doesn’t do dynamic changes in IP like rayfish does within a few seconds?

WireGuard still needs a central server that you don’t control.

Anyway, this thing is just impressive that’s all.

Because this one has no central server.

Bad news everyone! Ever since the Philips drywall screw went left handed the normal right handed drywall screw market has gone haywire. They just announced a 70% price increase and HomeDeportation only sales them individually.

What are we going to do! If this continues, everyone will have to learn to spin the screws in the same direction but with the left hand!!! There’s even talk of reverse detection left handed screws out there right now, making markets nervous.

Wow! No mice mentioned! Actual human trials mentioned!

Usually it’s… And the mouse grew another leg. Or the mouse regained vision. Or the mouse became smarter. No more diabetes for… The mice. Etc.

But this time it was primates and humans… They are giving primates HIV which is wonderful.

Ultra long range?

Gene Roddenberry?

Agreed, it’s not for production. For me, as an engineer, LLMs are a couple of things. One is they are killing the planet by consuming energy, dumping the smog into our communities and consuming the water we need to survive. The other way to see it is…uhh give me a funny ass picture of a cat driving a taxi with a donkey and a giraffe riding in the back…make it a 5 minute video… probably uses way more resources than… write a program that gives me network freedom, here are the specs…

Once I get this initial bit and I study it, then I should be able to develop it like any other piece of software. It’s that initial kick that helps a lot. In my experience, if you keep asking the LLM for more, your program will just suck ass more and more until you’re left with nothing working. The other problem is it makes you lazy. Why should I debug if the LLM can do it?..debug this! But instead of a debug you get a full re-write and you don’t know what changed.

So I hope they are using the LLM in a structured way. Remember, no matter what the LLM does, if you’re not a programmer who would otherwise have understood the program enough to write it, you will still not understand it. Same for the cryptography.

But LLMs are basically a librarian who can parse thru many books and predict the next word or sentence. It’s locally correct. So imagine using Google maps street view to drive your car. First you have to get the big thing…where are you at? Now, with no windows just a gps signal telling you how far you are, you turn left or right based on your own knowledge of where you want to go. Finally, you crash on obstacles like other cars, pedestrians and buildings. Each time you crash you can get out to see where you are and start again. That’s LLMs in a nutshell. But if you finally get to where you wanted to go, you have a full program for anyone else to use. Lol

No, this is not tor. This is networking. Imagine two computers where you can plug one to the other with an Ethernet cable that’s it. Except that you connect one at your house and I connect the other at my house. They think they are in the same network so I could browse through your files or use a local website you serve. The benefit being that I could be you and I just traveled to your country yesterday. So I plug in my computer and I can see all my files back home from your country. Neither country can spy into my system or see what I’m doing. All they can do is decide that it’s not worth having a national connection if I’m on the network. So they can unplug the entire Internet just to block me watching YouTube from Tampa while I’m in Italy.

My phone gets a new IP when I hop from wifi to cell but it’s still able to communicate. Supposedly rayfish has this solved too although I cannot test that since the computer is on my network but maybe I could tether something to my cellphone and test that way.

If you’re using ipv6 supposedly you don’t need to forward ports. So that means that regardless of what IP your ISP gives you, your network should survive.
