ugh the default kernel ethernet driver for raspberry pi on raspbian/ubuntu doesn't allow use of 9000 mtu. this sucks bad because my whole lan is mtu 9000 and the mismatch is wrecking my ssh sessions to the machine. :/

Yo @sneak, thank you mate. You did all the work and my instance is running well.

i was really pumped about using ntopng and installed it on my nat box but it's super cpu-intensive even on a 150mbps uplink and it's not free software (and even the community edition will stop collecting because the sniffers are just demos and don't have a community edition) so now it's purged and never to be used again.

bought a flight from BA, first leg was operated by AA. AA took off, did a U turn, landed at origin. gate agent said he had no information about the flight or replacements, to the whole plane. he, nor any other AA staff, was anywhere to be found anywhere in the secure zone of the airport. waited hour, left airport, booked new ticket on not-BA/AA for the next day. didn't get luggage back for over 9 weeks.

american express says ba gets to keep my $2612. BA.

Halloween is nothing to me,

An interesting form of the sharpshooter fallacy is what I like to call the "doomsayer fallacy". It works like this:

Thing happens. Doomsayer: "this means bad thing will happen!".

If bad thing happens, Doomsayer gets credibility for being right

If bad thing does not happen, Doomsayer gets credibility either by claiming "it almost happened but we were lucky", or through "listening to my warning about the bad thing meant that we were able to stop bad thing"

It's tricky partly because sometimes those claims are actually true, but more often it's a Doomsayer PR campaign

I have a mid-2019 8c INTEL i9, 64GB ram 4TB flash Retina MacBook Pro for sale. It's MacBookPro16,1, with the good keyboard back (not the shitty butterfly one). This is the last intel/touchbar MacBook Pro, and these specs are maxxed out.

It is in excellent condition (I have hardly used it, my laptops don't see much action in this almost-no-travel pandemic timeline) with one owner and it has cool stickers (which can be removed if you like).

sneak@sneak.berlin if you are interested, please.

if you add a wifi network on your iphone, with a mandatory/ondemand vpn, it will automatically sync that wifi credential over to your paired apple watch, which will connect to that wifi (without vpn) and phone home to apple, leaking your local IP.

spotify's ios devs are fucking stupid. when you download hundreds of tracks, the "download complete" notification that pops in at the top of the screen *moves all of the touch targets down*, but only for the 300ms the notification flashes, then it moves them all back. hundreds and hundreds of times.

this is almost as dumb as the amazon one click modal when you change your payment card.

confirmed in ios 15: VPN set to ondemand (which autoconnects shortly after boot) leaks dozens of dns requests not-via-vpn on boot of iphone, divulging true client IP <-> VPN IP association to DNS server.

when you have an ondemand VPN configured on an ios device, your DNS requests will leak to your DNS server from your non-VPN'd ip.

i always assumed that ios VPNs were super leaky. i will bring receipts soon.
