Network Nerding
You might have heard the phrase, “He’s forgotten more than you will ever know.” When dealing with somebody who is quietly competent, that is almost always the case. I was there at the start of the Internet. I watched our campus get X.25 networking. Later, BITNET. I watched email get dumped into the UUCP queues…

Hunter v. Cortland Housing Authority, 2A win
If you want to see a case take years and years, it goes something like this: The plaintiffs file a suit and request a Temporary Restraining Order to enjoin the defendants while the court hears briefings and arguments for a Preliminary Injunction. If the losing party wishes, they can appeal to the circuit court. This…

Proposed Findings of Fact, Legal Stuff
The Heller opinion clearly stated that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right. That was the holding. To get to that decision, the Supreme Court did their standard analysis. First, is the plain text of the Constitution implicated by the proposed conduct? Second, what is this nation’s historical tradition of regulation…

Would You Like Fries with That?
Trolling at its finest. If there is one word that truly does not describe Kamala, it is “authentic.” Everywhere she goes, it feels fake. Everything she says, feels fake.

The caption reads, “The difference is that we ourselves between them and the enemy, they put them between themselves and their enemies.” It was, and is, such a powerful message of the differences between the animals and…

WYSIAYG vs WYSIWYG
I started my computer career with the command line, or as it is known today, the CLI. Almost everything I do is done via CLI. I’ve had clients that had hosts in China, Ukraine, and London. They all look the same to me because they are just another window next to the other windows on…

New Feature
On desktops, the right side panel has a new item, navigation links. The first link is to the M4A1 design documents. These are the blueprints for the M4A1. As far as I can tell, they are a complete package. These do not include tooling or how to documents, they are just the blueprints. These prints…

And the original, which I like better. I’m the guy that can listen to the same singer singing the same song and hear that they are different. And it drives me bonkers. So the original is the only version that I actually like. This is part of my SSS series. And for our friends in…
