Litany against NAT
apologies to Frank Herbert
I must not NAT.
NAT is the net-killer.
NAT is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my NAT addiction.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the NAT has gone there will be a proper firewall.
Only IPv6 will remain.

I have my phone set to auto-deny any number that is not in my contact list to combat the ever increasing amount of spam I've been getting. Unfortunately there is one insurance scammer that has taken to leaving voicemails. Multiple VMs a day for the last two weeks.
I contacted my provider about disabling my VM box altogether. They do not support this. You can, however, redirect missed calls to another number instead.
I now send missed calls to: https://github.com/pjf/rickastley
Eat Rickroll, spammers!

Go forth and click "Enable"!
Hmm, the new Raspberry Pi 4B has 802.11ac and gigabit Ethernet. I wonder if it could be made into an access point. Even with case, power supply, and microSD that's still likely to be cheaper than most commercial solutions for the feature set.

I'd love for all of us who have student loans, that we took out responsibly, and are drowning under it anyway, to strike for a few days. Let y'all see how well you do without us. The ROI for education is dismal. That isn't our fault.

#XMPP (aka #Jabber) is an easy, widely used free federated chat system.
There are thousands of instances to sign up at, such as https://chinwag.im and
https://www.xmpp.jp
There are also *lots* of apps.
Maybe the most important thing is that an app supports OMEMO privacy:
Some recommended OMEMO-compatible apps:
Conversations (Android)
https://conversations.im
Gajim (Win/Linux)
https://gajim.org
Monal (iOS/Mac)

I've been having trouble with this lesson lately.

Everything still feels pretty overwhelming, and it's hard to find the tiny bits of joy.

Finally inside, nearly 45 minutes later.
Stuck in the car waiting for the rain to let up so I can go in the house without getting drenched.

just a few updates of firefox make a computer unusable with no visible benefits
