Okay, I do recall that our software had a feature that could classify on "DHCP requested options’, but it was low-fidelity, unreliable. Ultimately, the software works best with known devices, and isn’t very good at reliably classing unknowns.

As you say, just the first few seconds of actual traffic from a device is so rich in terms of ID characteristics compared to DHCP.

I used to provide commercial end-user support for a network intelligence product that used as much metadata as possible to help classify endpoints, shuffling them off to the right captive portals for the right segment based on that data.

I can tell you that the things you’re saying are transmitted in a DHCP request/offer are just not. If they were, my job would’ve been a LOT easier. The only information you can count on are a MAC address.

I can’t view that link you shared, but I’ve viewed my share of packet captures diagnosing misidentified endpoints. Not only does a DHCP request/offer not include other metadata, it can’t. There’s no place for OS metrics. Clients just ask for any address, or ask to renew one they think they can use. That only requires a MAC and an IP address.

I suppose DHCP option flags could maybe lead to some kind of data gathering, but that’s usually sent by the server,not the client.

I think, at the end of the day, fighting so that random actors can’t find out who manufactured my WiFi radio just isn’t up there on my list of “worth its” to worry about.

Thx. Once it’s loaded, does it seem normal to you?

Possibly because of the embedded images in my comment there, that post is slow to scroll, interact with comments, etc.

Wasn’t sure if its on my end alone, or if the post is an anomaly that brings voyager to its knees for all.

Yeah… Username checks out?

What tease! This great map begs for my close scrutiny. Alas! It will not bear it.

Edit: Here is a decent hi res map of the watershed. Boy, do I want to read every detail of that map you shared, OP. I’m going down the rabbit-hole!

Edit2: Another mid/low res map of the basin, but its awfully MS-Paint.

Edit3: found this digital version, but no better, really:

EditFinal: Here’s a depth and elevation profile that I found that’s clear and fairly detailed. I am too busy today to get further sucked in, but I could spend the rest of my day staring at these maps…

I bought a used Pixel 5 in Feb for my daily driver. Replaced my Pixel 3 only because the power button was flaky. They both still run great. By my standards, getting two years out of a phone I paid $150 for is better than getting three years out of a $700 phone.

No? I migrated (using takeout) to ente.io and I think there were lots of singles I assumed were broken up Top Shots.

Yeah!

What do you mean, it doesn’t work?

Works fine for me. Got the email in 1s. If the email doesn’t match their records, I’m assuming it either doesn’t send it, or you wouldn’t get it, as it isn’t the email you actually use.

Also, what about your SPAM folder? Why not email the admins before making a silly post like this…?

the image sequences the Pixel sometimes takes (forget what it calls them).

Top Shot?

Love jails. My server didn’t move with me to Central America, and I miss Free/TrueNAS jails

It’s not a done deal yet, but there’s occasionally hope,like in this one: https://www.techdirt.com/2024/06/24/court-no-immunity-for-so-anyway-i-started-blasting-cop-who-killed-someone-for-the-crime-of-being-at-home/

…cop entered a house and started shooting even though no one in the house matched the suspect’s description and seemingly just because he had a gun and power to use it.

“The video footage, the district court concluded, shows that Snowden did not have time to comply. And in his deposition testimony, Officer Garza, another police officer on the scene, agreed that Casanova started shooting as he said “Let me see your F-ing hands.”).”

…

The case goes back down to the lower court to be decided by a jury. As the appeals court notes, any “reasonable” officer would have recognized these acts of violence to be unconstitutional. But as the narrative and numerous footnotes show, it would be extremely charitable to call Officer Casanova “reasonable.” He’s a loose cannon and a detriment to his department. Hopefully, this case resolves not only in favor of the plaintiffs, but with a firing of the officer for being exactly the sort of cop that makes cops look bad.

No, you’re absolutely right. That’s what happens when you have the WaaSMedic service running, which cannot be easily disabled in services.msc. I would think I had finally gone the “full-nuclear” option and broken al updates by disabling and stopping the update services (that I knew about), but they would re-enable themselves without fail.

This comment explains where you need to disable it (if you want to go that route).

Fun! I want I Google Earth version of this with a time slider.

Re: DuckDuckGo:

You can sign-up and manage your aliases from any browser on any OS

But not on the TOR or Mull browsers on Android:

ETA: I use both DDG and SimpleLogin. I recently bumped up against the ten alias limit in SL, but I prefer the ease of creating outgoing aliases in their dashboard vs the DDG method of manually typing with underscores. That said, they both come in handy and I have dozens of DDG aliases that helped me break my dependence on gmail as my single email provider. Never tried Addy.

Its a real catch-22 engineered by SCOTUS to do just that, I believe. The number of cases that receive QI where the judge regretted that the way it works results in a finding that “reasonable” officers wouldn’t know just boils my blood.

Thank police unions and the justice system for making victims think settling is their best way forward. Fear of getting no justice at all after what they’ve been through is a powerful deterrent. That’s why I am glad when a well funded activist organization get behind victims (or are themselves the victim) and take it to trial.

I would be hard pressed not to accept a settlement in the neighborhood of a million dollars, as things are so effed up for workers in this economy and that would set me up for life invested properly.

Joke’s on you, Google! I uninstalled the Play store weeks ago!

I’d use the find command piped to mv and play with some empty test folders first. I’m not familiar with Nemo, though I’ve used it for a short while. I’ve never tried the bulk renaming features if they exist.

Depending in how much variation you have in the preceding underscores, REGEX may be useful, but if its just a lot of single underscores you can easily trim them with a single version of the script.

Edit: corrected second command typo. I think there’s a rename command I haven’t used in ages that may have args to help here too, but I’m away from the PC
