Bots lie about who they are, ignore robots.txt, and come from a gazillion different IPs.

It’s also a huge problem for library/archive/museum websites. We try so hard to make data available to everyone, then some rude bots come along and bring the site down. Adding more resources just uses more resources–the bots expand to fill the container.

I also love it. It was my go-to back when I had to walk inexperienced sysadmins through configuring stuff, in my tech support days. I really appreciate all the commands being listed at the bottom.

That’s sounds wickedly retro-brilliant and I love it. Would it use full-size VHS tapes, or those dinky ones that fit into a full-size converter?

I ended up ordering a VF-VS1 VIOFO VS1 mini. It seemed low-hassle, and I’m happy with audio + front video.

I’ll probably go the long-cable route. It’s a 2008 car, so I’m not winning any style points anyway. I’ll ask my mechanic if they could hardwire it next time I’m in.

Thanks!

I hadn’t thought of mounting behind the mirror and running wiring along the edge of the window. That makes sense, thank you. I’ll take a look at your suggestion. 😊

I’m mostly worried about wiring and having a distraction in my field of view, so mounting behind the rear-view mirror might work. I already have a parking tag there, but there might be space for both. Thanks!

I thought about a mobile app, but something that consistently records is better than relying on my faulty memory.

I’ll take a look at 70mai, thanks.

It wasn’t that uncommon at the time. Take a look at this 2005 study the US GAO did on the issue: Social Security Numbers: Federal and State Laws Restrict Use of SSNs, yet Gaps Remain Also, this news article on the trend.

My college ID used to be my social security number, so maybe it was something like that? Iirc that’s no longer allowed in the US.

The app openvibe does that for Mastodon and Bluesky. You have to have an account on both, though. I think they’re adding in other services eventually.

I just had a successful transaction on Craigslist today. Don’t give up the dream!

Oh, no. My mom wouldn’t let me watch Beetlejuice because he’s a demon.

It’s worth noting you’re only allowed to insultingly say someone has a mental illness in relation to their gender or sexual orientation.

Do not post … Insults, including those about: … Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”

Edit: and the changelog is a hoot.

Update: outfit is now

• Black canvas kilt with tartan kick pleats
• Black denim jacket with holes and a “Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem” back patch (the thrift stores didn’t have many options for band shirts. My other option was a ska/reggae band. I was also tempted by a “I just freaking love ducks” shirt with a giant rubber ducky)
• Green “giant ass robots to kick in your face” T-shirt
• Maybe orange patches under the holes on the arms of the jacket, to make the holes more visible and keep me from catching my fingers in them
• Fake piercings
• Black comfy shoes I already own because I don’t want to risk sore or itchy feet for a game

Thanks, all! Next steps are figuring out a chain belt, or maybe doing something with the bright orange hemp rope I already own.

America elected Andrew Jackson and we learned our lesson. /s

Oooh. I’ve not upgraded yet, but that looks exciting.
