  • I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.

    Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.










  • Without looking it up, I believe the DSM says that diagnosis requires three out of five indicators. That would suggest that many people can get one or two indicators. Social media (specifically short form like twitter, instagram, and TikTok) has measurable negative impact on attention spans, while also propagating a narrative of colloquial symptoms.

    “Whee look at me being neurodivergent!” - golly, I do that too! Maybe I’m ADHD.

    For what it’s worth, I have both ADHD and mild autism. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist. I’m saying that the diagnosis is devalued by “oh i do that too, I’m also a little bit adhd”.



  • There’s a big difference between highway hypnosis and offloading the processing to your unconscious. Consciously processing the information that is coming at you while driving is just too much. Noticing everything.

    Approaching intersection. Light is green. Four way intersection. Nobody turning left. Car in front of me holding speed. Black car. Behind me car holding speed red car. Pedestrians crossing in line with traffic on other side of street. No pedestrians this side. Light is still green. Car in front is still black. Car in front slowing slightly. Lane change behind me car is now green and matching my speed. Car turning right at intersection is silver and stopped to give me right of way.

    Whew.

    But some people definitely don’t see as much as others.


  • Yep the real challenge is understanding when it’s fucked vs when it’s slightly off kilter and a professional can give it a stern look and fix it, but with most things these days it’s always a “well, we can get you a new module, but it’s on back order; it’ll take 6 weeks to come in, maybe buy a new widget”.

    In lieu of nothing, there’s UV lights for drinking water that might fit the need that are reasonably reliable… or maybe just a binge of bigclive opening things up might give the key for cracking that UV light. good luck!
