Is it Moral? Is it Legal? Is it Constitutional?
Is it Moral? We all have a moral code. Some people have a moral code that is more restrictive than yours. Some people have a moral code less restrictive than yours. Occasionally, a moral code is imposed by outside authorities. Such a moral code is unlikely to be “your” moral code. You might agree with…

It’s Late, Nerd Babble/status
We are in the process of moving from the image above to the image below. At least in terms of what the infrastructure looks like. Today I decommissioned an EdgeRouter 4 which features a “fanless router with a four-core, 1 GHz MIPS64 processor, 3 1Gbit RJ45 ports, and 1G SFP port.” When they say “MIPS64”…

Writing as a job
Allyson is a published author. I am a published author. She works at writing. I was told to write, I did, they published it. When I decided to keep GunFreeZone.net alive, I tried to post multiple times per day. I quickly burned out. Today I have a schedule of once per day, with extras when…

Healthcare
One of the ways the left “wins” arguments is by changing the meaning of the words they use. When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less. — Humpty Dumpty So, what is healthcare? Healthcare is anything that is caring for your health. That is…

Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a special day for me. It has been years since we gathered as a family at my parents’ home for a Thanksgiving feast, but that is a memory I hold dear. No, this comes from something my mentor gave me. When he was in collage, he had many good friends. Friends he kept…
