Having lived out of the US for two years, returning is a shock to the system with the size and exhaust volume of the vehicles on the road. I am skeptical that these changes can get through the gauntlet of lobbyists, however.

I took OP to Kean they wanted an instance that doesn’t enable downvotes. Not sure…

My suggestion doesn’t make sense in the classic PATA sense either, since there were potentially several “slave” devices, but they weren’t slaves so much as dependent on the “master.”

Primary/secondary?

I agree that most websites don’t load without JavaScript, but you don’t need seven or more different domains with java allowed for the main site to work. Most sites have their own, plus six google domains, including tag manager, Facebook, etc. I whitelist the website and leave the analytics and tracking domains off.

I think the first time I hosed it, I may have canceled the backup mid-process because I realized it wasn’t configured properly. Then I found and deleted snapshot files, IIRC, and things went south from there.

I’ll try again, but only on a fresh system with no value to me, not my daily driver. I know I can harness it, but for now I’m sceeeured.

Same. Choices like these keep us sane and happier.

Who would of guessed

…would have guessed. You may be thinking of the sound of the contraction, “would’ve,” a joining of would and have that sounds similar to “would of.”

I’ve been reluctant to use Timeshift (in rsync mode) because I’ve twice ended up hosed by it (quite possibly because of a fundamental misunderstanding).

Doesn’t Timeshift create snapshot files that your system ends up living in, much like VMware?

Case in point, I misconfigured the Timeshift backup location and wanted to correct it. I deleted snapshot files and went about pointing to the new location. But on reboot, all failed because the snapshot files were apparently live, and could no longer be found. I was dead in the water and had to reinstall. A few weeks later I tried again and ended up in the same situation where a snapshot location was removed and the system failed.

Now I’m afraid to use it.

I frequently read posts and other info like this that lead me to believe I just did something wrong and can benefit from using Timeshift, but I also don’t want to rely on running from snapshot files, and prefer my backup to live in snapshots, rather than my live system.

I’m used to snapshots in TrueNAS and virtualization, so this should be an easy transition, but experience has taught me fear.

I’m nor a cash-only convert, but I have some anecdotal evidence for you.

I’ve visited Boston five times in the past thirty years. Every single time I used my debit card at Thanuel Hall for food, my card was later used for fraud. Always caught and never a big inconvenience beyond replacing my card, but still not ideal. I only ever use cash there now.

Online shopping, before the Amazon monopoly on e-commerce, my card would get compromised every few months.

Now I use privacy.com for all transactions that allow it, and its amazing how often those cards are stolen. Thanks to the way the service works, the stolen cards are useless to scammers or thieves, but my declined transaction filter has a few charges declined each month.

My point being that if you want to avoid fraud, and you can do it, cash is king.

The tonneau cover is usually there because A) they do mostly highway mikes and want the improved mileage resulting from reduced drag, and B) they rarely use the bed, as those covers are a PITA unless you only remove it once in a great while.

I live in Central America where its mostly little trucks owned by workers, and they often drive on mud roads and hard terrain. The only people with trucks like the black one in the picture are US expats with …particular political leanings.

Librewolf supports Mozilla sync

Okay, I do recall that our software had a feature that could classify on "DHCP requested options’, but it was low-fidelity, unreliable. Ultimately, the software works best with known devices, and isn’t very good at reliably classing unknowns.

As you say, just the first few seconds of actual traffic from a device is so rich in terms of ID characteristics compared to DHCP.

I used to provide commercial end-user support for a network intelligence product that used as much metadata as possible to help classify endpoints, shuffling them off to the right captive portals for the right segment based on that data.

I can tell you that the things you’re saying are transmitted in a DHCP request/offer are just not. If they were, my job would’ve been a LOT easier. The only information you can count on are a MAC address.

I can’t view that link you shared, but I’ve viewed my share of packet captures diagnosing misidentified endpoints. Not only does a DHCP request/offer not include other metadata, it can’t. There’s no place for OS metrics. Clients just ask for any address, or ask to renew one they think they can use. That only requires a MAC and an IP address.

I suppose DHCP option flags could maybe lead to some kind of data gathering, but that’s usually sent by the server,not the client.

I think, at the end of the day, fighting so that random actors can’t find out who manufactured my WiFi radio just isn’t up there on my list of “worth its” to worry about.

What tease! This great map begs for my close scrutiny. Alas! It will not bear it.

Edit: Here is a decent hi res map of the watershed. Boy, do I want to read every detail of that map you shared, OP. I’m going down the rabbit-hole!

Edit2: Another mid/low res map of the basin, but its awfully MS-Paint.

Edit3: found this digital version, but no better, really:

EditFinal: Here’s a depth and elevation profile that I found that’s clear and fairly detailed. I am too busy today to get further sucked in, but I could spend the rest of my day staring at these maps…

I bought a used Pixel 5 in Feb for my daily driver. Replaced my Pixel 3 only because the power button was flaky. They both still run great. By my standards, getting two years out of a phone I paid $150 for is better than getting three years out of a $700 phone.
