    Reminds me of driving my old '67 microbus. You don't see them rear-ending things often with only maybe an eight inch of sheet metal between you and the bumper in front of you.

    Quincy, Washington, US. Get on Google Maps and see if you can see which large buildings are data centers and which are potato warehouses. Hint, potatoes don't need backup generators. The big one is Microsoft.

    Please DO keep your one copy of the nuclear launch codes on a breakable media. In fact put them on an old punch card and run it through the laundry a few times. We don't want you using those codes!

    Kind of. He went up to the dog and recited a perfect cat meow. That confused the hell out of the dog. Then, while the dog was befuddled, he let out his patented SCRECH and the pit bull ran under the bed.

    Everett is setup the same way with a lot of it sold to SnoPUD (also public.) I love our public utilities! My water in on Tulalip Bay comes from a Tulalip Utilities well and water tower about a half mile away. The east end of the rez last year put in a 30" pipe to Everett to get more water for the Quil Ceda Village area.

    Because us lower 4 digits don't like to re-invent the wheel:)

    Nice setup though, I'll keep those tips in mind if I need to roll my own. I'm looking for a client and server package that can be installed quickly on a client computer/router. A client end that could run on OpenWRT would be really sweet.

  19. How about a home brew dynamic DNS system? on Microsoft Takes Down No-IP.com Domains · · Score: 2

    I've looked a bit but never really found a package to do this, although it's been a few years. I've got a BSD box, a static IP and some domain names. How would I set it up so that other hosts could use this in a dynamic way to set forward DNS records if they were on an ISP's ever changing DHCP addresses?

    In other words, how can I roll my own no-ip.com system without being a Vixie level hacker?

  21. Re:Be polite on What To Do If Police Try To Search Your Phone Without a Warrant · · Score: 1

    I've run into this before as a DirecTV installer. Had biscuits and tea with a very nice East European family after I performed the install, which can be sometimes more invasive than a police search, they don't drill holes in your outside walls often or tear your media center apart. I saw that it was expected and they went to a lot of work to provide a nice sit & chat time. It took about 15 minutes of trying to understand very bad English, smile, nod, and make-nice, but it seemed very important to them. It was a bit odd at the time since I had a trainee with me (maybe the best lesson she learned) but ten years later and I still recall it with a warm heart. I see why you decided on this path.

    I'm an atheist with a very Catholic upbringing. I'm very glad that I've had the service and humility of the Church teachings (and very awesome parents) to show me how to love my fellow humans. I try to be as warm and inviting to any that enter my home, or anyone that I meet day to day. Not that I'm always great at that, but I'm trying.

    It's nice to know there are others out there doing the same.

    Yeah, we had a yahoo like that drive by our computer shop each day. Would crash all the systems including the phones. Until one of our service techs, Ken, 6'10, 350 lbs caught the yahoo at the stop light and yanked that lin-e-ar right out of his pick-um-up truck, put it under his tire and said, "drive." Last problem we had with said yahoo.

    Oh, and the FCC doesn't really like them yahoos either, and will fine the fuck out of them, given the chance.
