  • I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.

    Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.








  • $75

    $75 is what would have saved their house.

    $75 is less than I pay per month for home insurance on a smaller residence than the one described.

    The firefighters have to draw a line in the sand at some point.

    Communal services cost money. When enough people decide they don’t need to spend the $75 annual fee to support their communal firefighting service, it will collapse. The “morally right” thing to do is to put the fire out. But be morally right thing to do is pay the damn $75 in the first place. It’s just like people who choose not to join the union and enjoy the raises. Then get fired, because “right to work.”



  • People who work in research often have their whole life built around their specific field of research, to the point where their transferable skills and knowledge are minimized or excluded. Financially, they’re usually dependent on the institution they work for to a far greater degree than most professions are, which is part of why tenure exists. They also—but certainly not always—are neurodivergent. Their area of research is necessarily something they’re passionate about.

    I can totally see this happening. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Many people are experiencing extreme anxiety about world events they don’t have power over.

    Being personally bullied by the government specifically about the work that is tremendously personally important would be devastating.
