Ditching work to go to a protest downtown. Apparently Confederate Sessions is in town. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-sessions-downtown-20180626-story.html

Reading book on resisting dictatorships and hit this in the introduction.

"The population has often been
atomized (turned into a mass of isolated individuals) unable to work together to achieve freedom, to confide in each other, or even to do much of anything at their own initiative."

Somehow sounds very familiar.

Imagine, you see an SSID called hello.local in an apartment complex it is an open, unencrypted network.

I followed a link to a proposed bill and saw this at the start of the PDF.

Now I'm wonder how and why US House bill templates use XML.

"CALL TO ACTION! Join us Sunday after services to write letters of comfort to refugee children that have been separated from their families. We will be collecting small stuffed animals to take to the children with the letters. Children's artwork is especially wanted."

I can't read that and not cry.

I stumbled onto an amazing photo, and there's a banner saying creative commons, so I'm going to share it.

Apparently so many people were happy about Mexico's World Cup goal, their excitement showed up on seismographs.

I ran into a Union picnic today, which reminded me of a piece of 1900s era union protest sign that's depressingly relevant today.

I have OpenVPN with x.509 cert authentication, tunneling ipv4 and ipv6 traffic, and I believe properly starting with systemd...

You know... let me just delete that default ipv6 route until I get firewall settings set up to block services that were never intended to be exposed to the scary Internets. (for example minidlna)

So... openvpn is so much easier than ipsec. Their quick start instructions just worked. I even got ipv4 + ipv6 routing working pretty quickly.

Though then I decided to try to switch to x509 authentication, and... they're not kidding when they say "this is going to take a long time" when creating a dhparam file.

Is it wrong to use home automation against your 4 year old?
