Stop this planet, I want to get off.

Life hack: keep some hash browns in the freezer. Then when you feel like a hash brown, there are hash browns in your freezer.

Going to be one of those days. Heading to work. Set of lights. Waiting to turn right. Green main light, red right arrow. I'm sitting there with right indicators on waiting for the red arrow to turn off, and the person behind me (also turning) honks me. A red arrow is a red light for those turning.

Surprisingly this hasn't been an omen. It's been a pretty standard day. Though I did witness someone who "InDiCaTeS wHeN I nEeD tO" not indicating in a roundabout, going right, and the car in front of me entered the roundabout thinking they were going straight due to the lack of indicators.

They got all mouthy in their car. I laughed. If they had simply indicated as the road rules say they were meant to, they would't have had someone cut them off in a roundabout. Indicate, always. If you "InDiCaTe WhEn I nEeD tO" I guarantee you, you don't.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

If you run Plex Media Server, they just released 1.43.5.11079 which distrusts the leaked intermediatry certificate services. It's a pretty important update, so run it! NAOW!

So both LG and Samsung are out for future TV brands due to being spying cunts that cannot be disabled. So who's left that aren't spying cunts while being good quality?

And yet their own charts *in this piece* show overall crime rates in Melbourne basically static / small fall over 10 years (and aggravated burglary is down about 20%.) The politics of it is because every media outlet in the state chases clicks from scaring the shit out of people - eg this crap.

First decent road trip since 2024. Jindabyne via Bathurst & Cootamundra, home via backroads & Nerriga. Drove because forecast was rain from Sat afternoon and all day today. Reality was light rain leaving Jindabyne, thunderstorms hitting moments after I get home. Could have ridden. 😭 Should have.

Ha! Listening to SGU podcast. Skip past an ad and they're talkign about maggots. I misheard it as MAGA's.

I've seen plenty of debates about how you don't get bug splatter on cars like you used to. After driving this car, I'm convinced it's aerodynamics. This car has none.

That explains why a few things are broken. Aussie Broadband now using CGNAT. They weren't when I signed up. Have to CALL to get it disabled. I'll do that later today.

55 minutes to get through to someone, not long for them to make the change, 45 minutes of things being broken before I could finally get ipv4 sites working (only ipv6 initially). Back to a non-natted connection. Hopefully Plex et al works better now.

Found a way to fit a peak design (motorbike) phone holder + charger to Jimny. Best spot for any charger was next to the window, which meant I kinda needed something that held on to the phone by more than magnets if I wanted to open the window (I don't trust maglock magnets -that- much).

can't believe the ABC's IT staff are being so antisemitic and wiping these helpful applications

CAMERON WILSON@cameronwilson.bsky.social

Scoop: ABC has wiped staff devices exposed to malicious ads from an Israeli company that used digital advertising to hack and track devices without a click. ABC is just one of many Australian government/critical infra/media orgs reportedly targeted www.abc.net.au/news/...

Game changer. This will become the norm in a shorter amount of time than people may think.

AI is automating hacking the same way it did fraud.

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

Watching some coverage of people recued from cars in SE Qld flooding. Yank tanks as far as the eye can see (through the flood water).

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

Just had the THIRD person this week change lanes while still half alongside me. I had to brake heavily to avoid them hitting me. Then they get batshit when I dare honk at them for almost driving in to me. There's something seriously wrong with people this week.

Cars in the lane to my right so I can't veer left. Red hatchback in side street stopped with their nose in my lane. Not enough space to get past so I stop and honk. Do they move back? No. "ThE bUs StOpPeD. mUsT bE tO lEt Me Go!" and pulls forward in to the street.

turn bay that brings them back in to the same street from the other direction. Same intersection. I get my right turn green arrow I've been waiting for. Just as some fuckwit drives up to the pedestrian crossing line IN THE ONCOMING LANE that I'm trying to pull in to.

No cunt, I stopped BECAUSE of you, not FOR you! 4 intersections later, oncoming traffic lanes, some muppet in the middle lane decides they MUST TURN RIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION AND NO OTHER holding ip heaps of cars behind them, even though if they kept driving to the next lights there's a right

Just witnessed a Porsche Ceyenne flashing their high beams at a Tesla waiting to turn, that was waiting because it had a red turn arrow. This week ...

Days like this, what can you do? a) If you can't beat them, join them. b) Be the change you want to see. Kill them with kindness. I'm going with option 'b'. Be fantastic to one another, everyone. ❤️

I haven't even started today's shift and I've already had to take evasive manoeuvres to avoid being hit. How do people not see a stonking great bus?
