TFG? All I can come up with is The Fat Guy

Lol Russian soldiers on US soil? The US military would do good to hang back, avert their gaze, and let the US citizens handle things how they see fit. Plausible deniability and all that

The shooter was actually 3 ukranian biolab drones in a trenchcoat

cemetery staff

Who exactly is staffed at this cemetery? I'm honestly not sure...Ive checked a few news sources and can only find 'an official.' Are they active duty military personnel? Did trumps team assault a uniformed soldier? Why isn't it being put this way anywhere?

ISP worker here. Our chosen routers default to an 8 digit password, the first 4 are the last 4 of the mac in hex, which anyone can easily see being broadcast by the wifi network. The last 4 are a part of a unique serial number, but its just 0-9. Ultimately, if you try to brute force this default password, you need 10000 tries. It takes a regular GPU 2 minutes with hashcat. It baffles my mind that companies think this is OK.

Came here to say Zomboid!

Also, OP, dont be afraid to jump straight into mods. You dont have to fuss with a single file. Right from the start, inside the client, you can join modded multiplayer servers. The mods are automatically installed and applied then and there. Zero setup! I say this because a whole heap of mods are strictly quality of life and they really ease the learning curve.

However, picking and choosing your own mods for your own server is the headache you might expect. Let some saintly admin do all that work for you.

Heres what you do - go to the bank today, get $50 in pennies...

Maybe its just the way you say it.

Because a bunch of assholes started screaming 'theres a guy on the roof!'

Yup and the most important names, the ones that he responds to, are psp-psp-psp and ti-ti-ti.

Weird. You have two top level comments, and two replies in this thread where you're offended that someone might find humor in an aspect of their job. Are you ok, dude? Is DNS your girlfriend? Should we stop talking about her? Youve been in IT for 30 years - maybe its time to retire.

Yes, the ocean grass

At least he got the injestable version, Trump is still on the topical cream.

In front of both; Normal wife was sitting on secret wife.

Autocorrect strikes again. Your comment keeps using the word nuance instead of what I imagine must have been nonce.

Frankly, im fine with us all losing sight of this nonce when he gets tossed in some dark hole.

Nice, does this mean the people given 10 month sentences for Jan 6th are going back to jail for life? Thats what he means, right?

I cant say enough great things about these rural electric companys rolling out their own fiber. I had an interesting opportunity a while back to do contracted field work for a bunch of small midwest/gulf state electric companies, and was absolutely blown away by the work they're doing.

The first one I worked, I was extremely confused by the communications on all of their poles thinking ATT came through and delivered the nicest fiber id ever seen to cows and corn until I came across the linemen casually splicing fiber on the back bumper of their bucket truck. ATT was copper only in the area, even in the small town they werent even trying - the electric company was dominating.

The whole mood was wild really, most of these companies were co-ops that were tied into the community already, and its really the community that decided the co-op should do internet too. I never got to be an actual customer of any of these, so i never got to know what it feels like to tell ATT to kick rocks and then actually be able to do something about it. But every single customer and employee was feeling it and it wasnt hard to get them grinning about it.

The options available to them were also something to behold. Its their poles. Communications always go under power, and normal communications companies kinda sorta just work with what they get after the electric company uses all the space they need. These guys can rearrange their electric lines to make way for communications all in the same day. ATT would probably get bogged down under 8 months of red tape if they tried to do that.

One of these co-ops would even use space on their poles for directional wifi antennas. Some rural houses would have a half mile driveway, and the power line has long since been buried, so they just beam internet wirelessly from fiber on the main road and skip the expensive buildout to lay fiber for one person. I got to chatting with one guy that had this setup. His house was downhill from the road, so right next to his house they ended up installing the absolute tallest wooden utility pole i have ever seen, i dont even remember the footage, but all that was on it was a single 10 inch wifi dish at the very top. He still got a few hundred both ways, those directional antennas were impressive, and they just power them off their own electric grid.

It really was a daily eye opener of how it could be if these shit ISPs didnt control everything. I strongly encourage everyone to look up to see if youre served by one! You might be surprised, they sometimes whittle in close to some larger cities, if you live in some newer neighborhoods on the outskirts....but man look at me ramble

Im still partial to the 1957 borders agreed upon in the board game RISK.
