People who CC informational emails at work (i.e. “xx had their baby” or “dxxx thinks hes a ninja stay out of the warehouse”) instead of BCC them are assholes.

500 abarth is more fun. the 124 is too expensive for what it is - gotta wait for firesale prices on the 124's to pick one up. Also, if you buy a new fiat, try to make sure you live near a dealership because you *will* be there often. My ‘16 500 abarth spent 3 of its 12 months of ownership sitting waiting for a tech…

I don’t know how buying something you could easily make is a lifehack.

you can buy a tub of silicone food mold making putty and make a bajillion of these for 10 bucks

You can get some silicone food-mold making putty at michaels or from Amazon; you mix the two components, put in your earbuds/headphones/etc. and smoosh the silicone into the outer part of your ear. Depending on how fancy you want to get you can set it up to isolate, hold them in, etc. With the design of the airpods…

Just be careful, they don’t fit the same on every seat. Alfred hooked one up and the first time I used it I got super soakered in the back of the beanbag with icewater.

oh no, a whole car made of vw electrical systems

you would only be able to access the internal dns server which would prevent you from accessing it but would log the attempt, which would then resolve back to mac address/user and result in your network connection getting crushed down until you either had to meet with us or knock it off. Depending on your VPN client…

It’s not hard blocked, but it’s all logged - if I see a user on my network doing 100% of their traffic via port 443, or any specific port, it sets off an alert (i.e. traffic going out on 443 exclusively, but the client IP never hits my local DNS server, that’s suspicious, since all port 53 dns traffic is blocked). At…

The fun starts when you have to start sorting “porn or art?” and do link verification. You can’t unsee things.

A lot of universities will subscribe to active blocklists that block such sites though. From my perspective as someone hired specifically to protect a very large scale network, if you want to steal content, pay for your own connection.

Schools can lose federal funding for not actively trying to block intellectual property violations.

Many of the games that utilize peer-seeded distribution also have alternatives. I work really hard to make sure students can update games and maintain very low pings via traffic prioritization - it just takes communication from them to the IT department. If a specific vendor *only* allows updates via a prohibited…

If the acceptable use policy explicitly states “use of the bittorrent protocol is prohibited”, then yes, any torrent traffic is prohibited. If it just says “illegal filesharing activity is prohibited” then the policy was written without consulting the school’s legal team.

Any school in the US that receives any sort of government funding is required to make a “best effort” at preventing intellectual property theft under HEOA and other guidelines. Our AUP prohibits (and I monitor/capture) all VPN, torrent, and other filesharing traffic. Rather than outright blocking things and letting…

I’m not sure if a blacklight in a dorm room is a good idea.
