  • Well, true on the 50ft, but you couldn’t rightfully shoot someone at 200ft+ and claim defense, because you’d have had enough time to leave or get away from the situation. Many self defense scenarios are judged on the defender being in fear for their lives or at risk of great or grave bodily harm to themselves or a loved one.

    I think most sane people wouldn’t hunt at national parks because of a respect for others, unless maybe an invasive species went open season to save other species or plants.

    Hunters aren’t itching to hunt anywhere and everywhere they can. Unless maybe you’re some wealthy big game hunter for sport and not respect of the animal. Maybe that’s why they’re relaxing regulations, for Trump & Co’s wealthy friends to expand their trophy collections… 🙄



  • I know this is a joke but you wouldn’t come within 50ft of that person as they’d claim it was self defense to shoot you dead.

    Personally, though, many people who hunt probably wouldn’t hunt at a national park IMO because there risk of other non hunters being there. Normally, iirc hunting has policies to signal you’re a person (like wearing orange while hunting deer).

    I’m personally not a hunter, but we own firearms; and I believe anyone who’s afraid to use them, or hates on them is in for a rude awakening. This country built in the right to own them to protect ourselves from our government because they understood that people with power lust for more power, and we’ll likely need a reset in the future because of this. Learn to protect yourselves! Your way of life and your life will depend on it someday.



  • Executives across retail, restaurants and packaged goods are increasingly worried about US shoppers with tighter budgets amid surging gas prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East.

    “They’re literally running out of money at the end of the month,” Kraft Heinz Co. Chief Executive Officer Steve Cahillane said in an interview this week. “We’re seeing negative cash flows in the lower-income brackets where they’re dipping into savings.”

    DIPPING INTO SAVINGS???! WTF are they smoking?! I don’t know many people with a cushion of savings let alone a comfortable one; especially lately since our pay has stagnated, job market’s trash, and EVERYTHING has risen in price! Who’s got the ability to even attempt to save?!



  • My recommendation to many newcomers:

    Setup Yunohost, which gives you a custom Debian-based OS that’s easy to deploy tested builds, like Rustdesk. You can configure your Domain info, DNS, etc pretty easily, and if you decide, a dynamic domain or Porkbun (cuz is cheap plus free private WHOIS and SSL certs).

    Yes, a small learning curve, but easier than building from Docker when you know nothing about Docker nor have the time to learn. I can fumble through a UI, I can’t fumble with commands or code that I don’t instinctively know. Others who day “just take the time to learn Docker”… But I’ve got 2 jobs, kids and their activities, pets, and other hobbies, so not much time for other stuff.



  • Someone should do a write up for pihole vs adguard vs technitium vs eBlockerOS

    https://eblocker.org/en/ (German product?) (BTW you’re all welcome that I showed you a new thing)

    Edit May 7: eBlockerOS seems geared towards better packet* inspection, hidden trackers protection, and fingerprinting. You can install a HTTPS cert* on your current machine so it does MITM packet inspection where it can scan*, inspect, and reencrypt from the looks of it.

    Im probably going to run this at work on my test environment to see how well it does overall. Maybe less granular control, but I like is more* than just an adblocker like pihole.









  • If you’ve never “practiced” a religion, then its pretty easy to be judgmental towards it. Many people grow up in very religious households and it’s hard to beak away from what was so normal for so long. I grew up in one of these households, and while I don’t actively participate in going to church anymore, it still helped shape me to be who I am, and I wouldn’t have such a strong core group of friends without it.

    All the crazy stuff people associate with Christians is due to televangelists mostly being predatory, movies/TV, bad spotlight or events coming to light (like ~20 years ago there media focused on all the Catholic boys who were molested by various priests).

    I, myself, am not about to get preachy and defensive towards religion, but I would like to play devils advocate and argue that the racial equality fight, women’s rights, and more recently LGBTQ movement towards equal healthcare and or acceptance is no different than a simple:

    “If you’re going to be accepting of somebody, you should be accepting of everybody”.

    Funny how some (not specifically picking on you or anyone) can get so defensive and upset fighting for acceptance of one thing while simultaneously they themselves can’t accept others merely for their beliefs… Kind of hypocritical, isn’t it?
