That’s when you’ve got them on the hook. Then you string them along until they finally realize that you’ve been messing with them the entire time and start angrily cursing you over the phone.
I make it my personal mission to waste as much of those shitbags time as possible.
Does anyone answer if you call back?
I love fucking with the actual scammers. Last time I actually paid for an eFax subscription and kept spamming them back with fax calls.
It took a day or two but they stopped calling.
I’ve got a Mikrotik that’s connected to Proton with Wireguard. It uses routing rules to control which traffic goes through VPN.
It’s pretty much “set it and forget it” once you get everything configured the way you want.
The benefit of splitting services between VM’s is the same as it always has been: I can break one service without breaking ALL of them. Containers are an improvement over native installs but they do not solve this problem completely.
Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
Ah Manage Engine. Lots of full featured products that are roughly 75% complete.
The kind of place where “backups” means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if you’re lucky.
Forgot “Pasting it into a Word document”.
Bringing back Gnutella.
The best thing about MongoDB is that you can stop using it completely and switch to PostgreSQL, which will happily accept all the horrible JSON data you can cram into it.
“…If there’s a problem writing your data, you’re fucked. Does that sound like a good design to you?”
“If that’s what they need to do to get those kick-ass benchmarks, then it’s a great design.”
Oh God. I am laughing so hard watching this.
Unfortunately, the current penalties are insufficient.
I wear a men’s 14. That’s bad enough.
This is one advantage Gnutella had/has over torrents. Kind of like a federated content library. Too bad low quality content and malware were such a huge problem.
The hell I can’t.
If a smell could actually “hit” you, it would be like taking shots from George Foreman. 🤢
Oh man. I had something like this happen once. Came home one day to find a deer standing in my driveway. I knew something was wrong and as I got closer, I realized it had been hit by a car. It was in really bad shape. I seriously thought about putting the poor thing out of its misery but I didn’t get time to do anything before it took off into the woods behind my house.
About three days later, I walked out my front door to the most God awful smell imaginable. I thought I was going to be sick. The deer had run just past the tree line and promptly collapsed and died right there in the woods behind my house. I couldn’t go outside for a week.
If the Cocker Spaniel next door weighed 4 tons and was perpetually in a bad mood, I’d be a lot more concerned.
Good old caller id spoofing.
