- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 1 day ago:
Salesforce needs no help ruining their own image. Their software is just a giant smoldering pile of shit.
- Comment on When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child 1 week ago:
In some ways, yes. At 36, I have a wife and kids whom I love and enjoy. I’m a very lucky man in that respect. During my 20’s and my first (God awful) marriage, I resigned myself to the idea that I would never have a family.
My job is not particularly fulfilling. In fact, when asked in interviews which parts of my career I’ve enjoyed most my answer is, without hesitation, “the jobs I didn’t get paid for.” Volunteering for things that had a meaningful impact on people’s lives has always been very satisfying. Sadly, I haven’t had time to do much of that in recent years. In my experience, there is a lot of truth in the statement, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I hope to get back to doing more volunteer work when my younger kids are a little bigger.
- Comment on How VPNs really work: Protocols, safety and myth - Sentient Rant 1 week ago:
I often VPN to my home network while on the go. The overall web experience is so much worse without DNS level ad blocking.

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream…
Joseph: “Holy mother of God!!”
Angel: “Yeah, funny you should say that…”
- Comment on Router VPN? Express put to rest 1 week ago:
Those Protectli Vaults are neat little devices.
- Comment on Router VPN? Express put to rest 1 week ago:
It definitely makes it more difficult to switch endpoints manually. I have multiple VPN connections with different exit nodes configured for failover in case one (or more) of them is unreachable. I don’t run into geoblocking issues very often but I also don’t route all my WAN traffic over VPN. Just some of it.
What you can automate depends on your routers capabilities. Mine is a Mikrotik which does have fairly extensive support for custom scripts. However, detecting Geoblocking is probably going to involve parsing HTTP responses which is beyond the capabilities of almost all consumer grade routers. You would have to effectively do a MITM attack (aka deep packet inspection) in order to accomplish that on something other than the client device.
TLDR: I manually change routes to a different VPN if needed but I very rarely run into Geoblocking issues.

- Comment on Router VPN? Express put to rest 2 weeks ago:
I exclusively use my router as the VPN client for a few reasons. There are multiple services on my network that use the VPN. I’ve got static routes configured which effectively act as a kill switch and I can use QOS to prioritize traffic. It’s pretty much set it and forget it. You can use any VPN service as long at they offer a protocol your router supports. I use Proton via WireGuard and have for years.

First off, Hank Green, it’s The Muppet Christmas Carol. Second, it is the best film version of A Christmas Carol hands down. I will die on this hill. Finally, we pretty much kicked any scientific accuracy to the curb, starting with pretending that Gonzo is Charles Dickens.
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 2 weeks ago:
Once again, I would like to thank stupid politicians and greedy media conglomerates for their contributions to media piracy. If not for all their hard work, we would still be playing Russian Roulette with shitty DIVX rips on Limewire.

🎶Ooooaaaaaaklhoma, where the ‘roos come hoppin’ down the plain. With poverty, as far as you can see, and casinos on each reserv - a - tion.
Well we know that you’re stuck on that land. And the land that you’re stuck on is bland. And when we saayyyyy, Yeeow! Ayipioeeay! We’re only sayin’ are you sure you’re fine, Oklahoma? You don’t look like you’re OK.🎶

My favorite Tolstoy work is Anna Godzilla. It’s about a giant pre-historic lizard who has an intense affair with an imperial Russian count before completely wiping out Saint Petersburg.

- Comment on Revelation! 3 weeks ago:
I spent a week “shoot bagging” seed corn when I was a teenager. It’s kind of like putting condoms on corn stalks. It helps prevent this sort of thing.

- Comment on Botched structural repair? 3 weeks ago:
(Here’s my favorite) The gaps between the beam and joists are fine and eventually the house will settle and the joists will bear on the beam. Putting in shims would be pointless because they’d get crushed and compressed when the house settles. (He really told me to wait until your floor sags and it’ll line up)
Is the contractor planning to come back and fix all your cracked drywall/plaster for free? Half the point of installing additional supports is to prevent any further sagging. Whoever did this needs to find a new profession.

Nuclear Powered Steam Locomotives
Pros:
- Looks cool as hell.
- Only needs to be refuled every 25 years.
- It’s a steam locomotive.
- It’s a steam locomotive.
- Did I mention it’s a steam locomotive?
Cons:
- Have to replace the fireman with a nuclear engineer.
- Still have to stop to grease bearings and take on water periodically.
- Hazardous radioactive materials.
Pros clearly outweigh the cons. What are we waiting for?

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard it called a “suicide plug”. A common use for them is back feeding power from a generator into your homes electrical panel during extended power outages.
It can technically work but comes with major safety risks such as:
- Giving yourself a nasty shock.
- Electrical fire.
- Electrocuting anyone who comes in contact with the power line, i.e. a lineman who might assume the line is de-energized.
- Blowing up your generator when the power comes back on.
The proper way to do it would be to have a transfer switch and generator plug installed. The transfer switch guarantees that when you’re running on gen power, you’re not back feeding through the transformer out to the power line.

Tarrantula Hawk Wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has just been dropped into your bubble bath.
The first time I ever saw one of these it was dragging a paralyzed tarantula back to its nest. That big fucker stopped what it was doing, turned around, and stared at me like it was sizing me up. It then turned back around and continued dragging the tarantula across the ground like, “Oh. It’s just a human. Not an actual threat. No biggie.”
No biggie is right. No way in hell I was getting anywhere close to a 3 inch long wasp.
