  • I thought I killed my analog oscilliscope about 20 minutes ago. Thankfully I didn’t, so that’s pretty cool.

    If I’m smart, I’ll soon cut off basically everything news adjacent, maybe including lemmy depending if I can get good filters. Maybe a desprate effort to claw back from anything which weighs me down, given the gravity of our future, but eh.



  • As i don’t want to divulge too much, some information will be sporatic/somewhat improper.

    My family dealt with a neighbor, which of whom I can only describe as a plurality of serial harassers. By that I mean we were not the first, nor the last family for this entire family to explicitly target and fixate on for at least months on end. This was before 2016 to add (they ended up right where you’d expect).

    Not just a not ring camera. Seriously DM me and im more than willing to help on the technical side of setting up a Frigate local NVR. Shouldnt cost your more than $200. If you go the home assistant route, it makes it trivial to set up an alarm system with zigbee or simular devices.

    Now i have to be careful, among other things the neighbor was having their kids steal our mail, we recorded evidence of such, but they seemingly had a friend in the PD. Im not saying to expect this or necessarily take my advice, but especially being a red area, the cops will not help you if it comes to it. They will be 15 minutes after a shooting is called in.

    We had evideable damage and video of one of their kids trying to break in our garage.

    They still put my parents enployement at the time in jeopardy.

    You get the 2A side of that, but ideally you want to avoid that entirely.

    We eventually put up proper cameras, and some of the derangement subsided, floodlights are of particular use.

    You cannot let yourself live in paranoia. But similarly you cannot be caught with your pants down.

    We were in a ranch, thus no upstairs. They would shine flashlights at our windows. Laser pointer to the eyes would stop them quick.

    Your situation is a lot more - forward. But there are pieces of information i believe you could use to your benefit in a preparedness scenario.

    Again, DM me if you need any technical help, I’ll be happy to

    PS definitely be done with FB. Theres a lot more shit than this one clown to do with that place. Ive been trying to avert my SOs father from something similar as well, but FB is another tool of this admin ib many ways



  • Pardon my hopium, I do hope it’s not misplaced -

    Given that it was a blackmail operataion among other things, and it would be mutually assured destruction if any holder of the documents tried to redact themselves and expose others. There must be some level of proliferation of at least partial copies of beyond incriminating evidence on a larger swath of people in current power that we could possibly know now.

    They wouldn’t be above using it in party infighting, but there’s no “faction” within the republican party with enough institutional power to get away with the backblow if they were to try to excise certain members. Which does mean there’s still a clock on this, but the fact that they haven’t just released with Bill and Hilary as the only two on the flight logs and dropped it, leads me to believe that this is the stalemate they’re collectively in.
