On the other side of an apocalypse, survivors emerge to build a new world. Their weapons are duct taped and welded together; bizarre amalgamations from a fiery past. Remanence of an old cult can be found along the countryside, as well as new villains who control the highways and like to paint everything bright pink. They game was marketed as a light sequel for Far Cry 5, about half the playtime of a full length title and priced appropriately. It has some beautiful visuals, questionable dialogue choices and all the guns and explosives that are expected from any Far Cry game.
It’s fairly straightforward to build your own router, and there are a number of tutorials for setting up IPv4 forwarding and NAT rules on Linux. However, IPv6 is a bit more complicated. There are many BSD and Linux based operating systems like pfSense and OpenWRT, which have web management tools to make setting up IPv6 straight forward. However, if you like to run your own custom Linux distribution on your home router and control everything from the command line, this tutorial will take you through configuring dhcpcd, dnsmasq, unbound, iptables and ip6tables for full IPv6 support on your local network.
In late 2020, I was waiting in a dentist’s office. The Today Show was on, with hosts spouting the most absolutely insane stories that could only be classified as fear porn. When I got home, I talked to an old friend asking her, “Is this what people are watching? Is this why the world has gone insane?” I have avoided traditional news media for over a decade. In 2007, I wrote about the deceptiveness of main stream media when it came to reporting on various contentious topics such as the Bush torture memos, the war on terror and the 2008 financial collapse. Since my return to America, our main stream media has only gotten worse, spreading fear and anger, both domestically and abroad.
There has been a large rise in independent media. A new era of reporters, interviewers and analysts are opening up the landscape of news and punditry. They are changing things in a big way. To those whose eyes are open; those who are paying attention: What we used to call Main Stream Media is clearly nothing more than propaganda networks funded by advertisers. Large industries have tremendous influence over both government officials and news narratives. Fact checking websites have arisen to fuel the industry that has been actively misleading us for our entire lives. We are at a crossroad where people will either embrace the orthodoxy of globalist narratives, or turn their attention to those who present more complete breakdowns of the complicated topics that are in the social consciousness of today.
I recently picked up a Lanner FW-7541C off eBay for $88.31 (including shipping). This industrial device has a 2-core/4-thread Atom D525 processor, a 30GB SATA SSD, 4GB of DDR3 ram and six independent Intel gigabit Ethernet adapters. It’s a well built little device I bought to replace my custom Linux router. However, it has no video output ports. It took some work, but I was able to setup and install Void Linux on this device using the serial port console. This guide goes through building the installation media with the custom parameters needed for a serial console. It also goes through the post installation steps that will keep a login prompt active on the serial port after install.
SFF Time P-ATX V2 case with an i7-9700KF and a 3080-Ti
For the past few years, my gaming rig has been an MSI Trident-X, a prebuilt PC that uses standard ITX components. It replaced my previous gaming laptop, which I also upgraded a few years ago. The Trident-X case does fit a standard PCI-E video card, so I thought it would a good future-proof system. I’ve upgraded the storage of this unit, although not without issues. Back when the current generation of nVidia and AMD graphics cards were announced, I noticed most of them were over 2.5 to 3 slots wide, and likely wouldn’t fit in the current Trident-X enclosure. I watch way too many tech reviews, and found myself pre-ordering an SFF Time P-ATX V2 case. I had the intentions of moving the guts of my gaming PC into an enclosure that could support newer video cards, sometime in the distant future. I placed a pre-order in February, and the case shipped fairly quickly in March. However, it was held up in shipping due to the pandemic, and didn’t arrive until recently. The far future turned into this summer. I moved my gaming PC components into this very nice small form factor case, while adding a few upgrades.
Fancy Docker orchestration systems, like Kubernetes or DC/OS, have networking layers that can be setup for complicated ingress and load balancer configurations. But what if you just have a single Docker daemon and multiple IPs assigned to a single server? How do you bind individual containers to specific public IP addresses? It’s fairly straight forward to bind a service running in a container to a specific IP listening address, but getting outgoing traffic to egress via a specific IP address takes additional work. If you’re attempting to use Docker with IPv6, you’re in for a world of very counterintuitive configuration. In this post, I’m going to take you through setting up Docker to work with IPv4 and IPv6, using isolated networks, so all incoming and outgoing traffic are restricted to specific IP addresses.
In 2019, every 737-MAX 8 in production was grounded, barred from commercial flights by countries around the world, after two crashes that resulted in the deaths of all passengers and crew on the airliners. The recalled fleet of planes overflowed into the parking lots of Boeing maintenance facilities, and Boeing was fined over $2.5 billion over charges of fraud and conspiracy. A weakened regulatory process had shifted more of the responsibility of safety from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to Boeing itself, leading to the horrific oversight of the design flaw in the 737-MAX 8’s MCAS software. On Monday, in America, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Enter a landscape with a solitary farm, run by a lone woman, connected to civilization by a sunken array of dilapidated telephone poles and a lone merchant who delivers mail. The Stillness of the Wind is an independent game that takes place in a world that feels simultaneously rich and empty. More than a simple story telling simulator, there are tasks to do and a farm to build up. It’s like Stardew Valley, with a slower pace, and shorter days. It leaves the player with a deep connection to the stories of another world, with a past wrapped inside of it.
Before you’re allowed to enter a bar, the doorman asks you if you’re on antidepressants. After all, there is an increased risk of committing mass shootings for people who are on SSRIs. Would this be acceptable? Of course not. In many countries, a person’s medical history, including whatever medications he or she might be prescribed, is considered private health information. In the United States, health privacy is one of the many things covered under legislation know as HIPPA. However, all the rules seem to have changed in the reaction to COVID-19. Now, people are not only proclaiming their medical information to everyone, but venues and employers are requiring disclosures of experimental medication in order to enter their premises. Whether you believe this is a justified request or not is irrelevant. It’s the end of medical privacy as we know it, and opens up an entirely new class of discrimination based on an individual’s choice to take a medication.
Lithium City takes place in an amazing isometric world, filled with low polygon count enemies, lightning fast game mechanics, a heart thumping soundtrack, and relentless challenging stage after stage of cyberpunk fighting. The color scheme is hypnotizing and fits perfectly with the music. Although the focus of the gameplay is on fighting, there is a considerable variety of levels that include sword fighting, dodging helicopter mounted cannons and a fun shufflepuck court. There is no dialogue. The story is complete, while also leaving itself open to a wide amount of interpretation. It’s a fun game that’s about the right length for an independent tile. However, parts of it can be quite grueling and difficult, making it inaccessible to those who don’t have the dexterity for fast paced, unforgiving, fighting games.
