My "perhaps ..." comment was a joking nod to the fact Missoula is described as "the Berkeley of the West". I do appreciate you spending so much time on your Internet comments though.
From Montana, and the bumper sticker has a picture of a wolf and the words "Shoot, Shovel, Shut Up". Perhaps the study was done exclusively in Missoula.
I love keybase and it's brilliant filesystem. On laptops I symlink ssh keys and configs, dotfilels, etc. so that they're stored in Keybase but available when I'm logged in. If there's an issue a can revoke a device. I also use their Certbot for SSH groups.
I used to work for SemiTool (now Applied Materials) in high school and it's amazing how big each machine is. I was tasked with disassembling a SUV sized machine that was used to coat the wafer in copper. Only one of hundreds used in a fab line.
I've been trying to figure out how to disable my trucks cellular antenna without disabling any other systems. It's proven more difficult than I thought.
I really enjoy MermaidJS. I've been trying to shoehorn representing vlan flows over switches recently and haven't been very successful. My basic goal is to show [p1]switch1[p2] <------> [p9]switch3[p12] in a graphical manner (and more intermediate switches). MermaidJS kind of works. I'm tempted to use something like Visio or Google Drawings but they take too much manual work.
It's the beginning of States waking up and helping protect citizens privacy when it comes to technology. Sure this is a one-off directed at TikTok, but Montanan's have a constitutional right to privacy that's being violated daily by technology companies. Another great bill to check out is by State Senator Daniel Zolnikov regarding consumer data privacy. I'm optimistic for a future where I have a legally enforceable right to privacy. Specifically one where I can use modern technology without the depraved acceptance I'm giving up my digital privacy.
I've definitely gotten private keys and full configs from Cisco and Arista gear that hadn't been properly wiped. What's annoying about Arista is that while they don't post EOS versions for download, they don't even post SHA sums. It would be super easy to buy, backdoor, and resell Arista gear without any way for an end user to verify their EOS version.
A huge improvement would have the mobile web site act less hostile. It pushes the app on first arrival; at the bottom there is an "this page looks better in the app" a fat finger width from the next button; comments are un-scrollable randomly; etc. To be honest, it does curb my access of the site so perhaps the status quo benefits my time.
I like the project name. It reminds me of a Soviet joke. "In Soviet Russia there are two channels. First is propaganda. Second is KGB telling you to turn back to channel one."
I still use Keybase and KBFS daily. It sounds like those services are around to stay -- but I hope if Zoom ever decides they don't want to keep running them anymore they spin it off to a non-profit to keep it running.
Word wiggler. Pipe chatGPT from one computer to another via keyboard emulation and fool the corporate spy software with long email drafts that take you hours.
I was annoyed I couldn't join a zoom call while flying as a participant, however it seems a small price to pay to not have someone trying to lead a stand-up next to you.
