    On top of that, the guy picking the fight is in charge of both the .org foundation and the .com competitor to WP Engine itself, so the argument isn’t purely altruistic.

    Quite messy.

    For anyone with a passing interest in this, it's about whether a for-profit company should be able to leech off an open source software project that their entire business model is built around without giving anything back to the project that is the lifeblood of their profits.

    Took me like 4 articles deep to find what the hell this drama is supposed to be about. Seemed super mundane at first blush but it raises a good question that I guess we'll get to see played out in court, probably. Could have real consequences for the future of open source projects.

    "Evidence of evolution

    The extreme detour of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, about 4.6 metres (15 ft) in the case of giraffes,[32]: 74–75  is cited as evidence of evolution, as opposed to intelligent design. The nerve's route would have been direct in the fish-like ancestors of modern tetrapods, traveling from the brain, past the heart, to the gills (as it does in modern fish). Over the course of evolution, as the neck extended and the heart became lower in the body, the laryngeal nerve remained in its original course."

    I think this is what he was getting at

    No shit.

    Fucking geniuses, start a war with all of your neighbors so now you have an eternal insurgency to deal with, a magnitude or three more than before netanyahu decided to genocide his neighbors.

    Alright! Dystopian nightmare timeline is a go!

    I especially like the part where cops are reported to heavily abuse these databases for personal agendas or to share with criminals. Truly ACAB

    This is a very good reason to maintain the appearance of neutrality while facing your local community

    This might even be an argument for putting those smoked opaque covers on your license plates even if it's questionably legal. There's more than a few people out there with definitely not legal smoked covers to the point you literally can't read their plates unless you're tailgating them, and cops don't give a shit because nobody is ever pulled over for illegal mods. I'd wager that the cameras can't read them either if you can't at 10 yards

    "Kolalou was arrested after she pulled a knife on a tow truck driver who drove her to a beach on Chicago’s lakefront. According to prosecutors, Kolalou dumped a heavy bag into a garbage can there and pulled the knife on the driver when he refused to take her to another location"

    Thank god for stupid criminals

    Also, prisons charge rent. She avoided nothing

    About god-damned time someone did something about that.

    Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we'd pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

    Oh shit I didn’t know that. I stand corrected

    That’s some cruel irony being put out of business by reality.

    I’m glad they’re back with apparently more sass than usual, but Jfc that’s just lol

    I would downvote this if I could.

    This kind of shit is what's actively making the internet a worse experience.

    No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole's website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

    It's okay bro, easy mistake to make. The fat orange guy is a walking onion article no matter what he does.

    Frankly it's amazing that The Onion didn't go under in the last decade as reality became stranger than their headlines

    I’m shamelessly biased on this topic but I would say nothing but pb is healthier than nothing but ramen. At least that’s what I’m interpreting OP’s opinion on the matter of relatively healthy 😐

  • I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router's wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the walls is annoying but headphones block enough that it's a non-issue as long as I can load something to play through them. The real rub is that I also would like to do something on the laptop during breakfast and her neverending news autoplay eats up all the bandwidth I am paying for when I want to use it. I can't cut off her internet, but I could prioritize my traffic over hers in the morning so that I can load an episode of something and listen through headphones. Yes I know this would be a bit unscrupulous but I have already suggested she not doomscroll via youtube all morning, to no avail. Setting up a separate ISP account for the adjacent space isnt an option for the time being. The router/modem combo is ISP-issued and locked down by default due to too many service calls from people breaking stuff in settings. As far as I know it is not able to be swapped out to an off-the-shelf due to this being fiber optic internet, plus I'm only so-so in tech knowledge. Which leads me to the title, can I put the ISP-issued router in a faraday cage, connect my own router via ethernet and be able to control settings via that route? Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't?
