Southern California weather baby, at least when it’s not in climate change mode.

This is rather terrifying and needs to be discussed. I just have no words.

Is there ever any good news with this administration? Who is getting off on all of this shit daily? Fuck Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

I pay for Apple News. I really don’t know why everyone acts like it doesn’t exist (specifically Apple users). The UI is much better than the shit hole websites anyway.

It’s a gigantic Diet Coke, if it’s even Diet Coke.

I use Apple’s Mail on iOS and macOS that block external assets by default. But I also block all that trash via DNS too. I use Blocky loaded with tons of blocklists.

A creditor and some other random company have done that.

Email tracking in general is cursed. I keep getting letters from a few companies because “you’re not receiving our emails.” No, I’m just blocking your 14 hidden pixels and not clicking your fucking awstrack.me links.

Shout out to Postmark for allowing me (as a web developer) to avoid spying on my users by letting me disable rewriting everything as a tracking link.

My side business is a transportation management system (TMS) that communicates with shipping carriers. Because I got so frustrated with this exact problem I developed a series of “hacks” so that when this happens customers don’t actually see it marked shipped until someone confirms it.

It’s very annoying but I think it’s worth it to convey accurate information. A lot of misunderstandings and pissed off customers come from shitty tracking APIs. My other favorite is “out for delivery” when it’s not; they don’t want to get in trouble for delivering it late but by lying to people you’ve just pissed them off even more.

You say you want an app but I think it would be wise to do it at the DNS level, then figure out if you need a special app to use the DNS server you configure.

I use Blocky on a VPS with countless denylists: I’ve even caught it blocking a phishing domain I received in an email just under an hour after receiving it.

Why don’t people block all Meta properties at the network level via IP addresses and/or DNS? Where do you think the funds to pay for this come from?

 

Immigration enforcement agents carried out raids in Los Angeles Friday, prompting gatherings of protesters who at one point clashed with authorities.

At one scene in downtown Los Angeles, a crowd of people tried to prevent authorities from leaving in vans after multiple people were detained.

Protesters could be seen throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. One person was nearly run over when they fell to the ground after getting in front of one of the vehicles.

 

Immigration enforcement agents carried out raids in Los Angeles Friday, prompting gatherings of protesters who at one point clashed with authorities.

At one scene in downtown Los Angeles, a crowd of people tried to prevent authorities from leaving in vans after multiple people were detained.

Protesters could be seen throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. One person was nearly run over when they fell to the ground after getting in front of one of the vehicles.

Immigration enforcement agents were spotted at two separate locations in the morning, including a Home Depot store in the Westlake District.

Video posted to the Citizen app showed Department of Homeland Security agents escorting men in handcuffs outside the store on Wilshire Boulevard.

A witness who spoke with Eyewitness News outside the store said several people, including men and women, some of whom are street food vendors, were detained.

"We're a little scared," said the witness in Spanish.

Mayor Karen Bass told Eyewitness News that neither she nor LAPD had any idea these raids were going to happen.

"Frankly, I'm just outraged because what happened is that went ICE went in they just took people away. And we just can't have this in our city, and it happened at multiple places in the city," Bass said. "It sows a sense of terror throughout the community...ICE was literally chasing people down the street."

"I've been really worried about this from the beginning, and as far as I know, this is the first time this has happened in our city like this. We know ICE has been here, but it's been for targeted arrests; this was just mass chaos," Bass added. "It sows a sense of chaos in our city, and a sense of terror, and it's just unacceptable."

The mayor also said that SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was injured and hospitalized after federal agents got on top of him to detain him. The mayor said Huerta was just an observer and a witness as part of a rapid response network to the community when events like these occur.

Meanwhile, FBI agents were also spotted outside the Ambiance store near 9th Street and Towne Avenue in the Fashion District. Dozens of people were seen gathered outside the store.

A senior DHS spokesperson sent ABC7 a statement Friday, but did not directly address the investigations at both locations.

The statement said in part, "ICE is now following the law and placing these illegal aliens in expedited removal, as they always should have been."

"If they have a valid credible fear claim, they will continue in immigration proceedings, but if no valid claim is found, aliens will be subject to a swift deportation."

Eyewitness News is working to get more information.

This comes as the advocacy group League of United Latin American Citizens calls for an investigation after reports surfaced of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding families in detention at a federal building in downtown L.A.

 

Seriously, why is it so hard to set static IPv6 addresses? My router’s hard drive recently failed (just a month after buying it) and I’m trying to recall how I ever got this configured.

The “documentation” in the configuration file is trash, the software is trash because it doesn’t work. Why is this considered the standard for DHCP on Linux? It’s infuriating. If they can’t fucking figure it out just leave it out and leave it up to other software.

All I’m trying to do is keep IPv4 and IPv6 addresses semi-uniform like OpenWRT does.

 

I spent the first ~18 years of life living in a food decreativity zone so I sometimes spoil myself on weeknights with the spiciest dishes.

 

I’m an American sick of being taxed by the dysfunctional US federal government and am looking for ways to reduce the amount paid as well as increase my contribution to society. I’m not looking to reduce state taxes.

How can I find out the amount I can donate to charities each year such that it reduces my federal taxes as much as possible for my income level?

 

I have a complex Tailscale-based network setup that includes blocking all Google hostnames. Unfortunately RCS on iOS doesn’t work when sending photos.

I’d like to set up a Tailscale App Connector using hostnames, but if they’re using IP addresses I can work with those as well (subnet routing).

I’ve scoured AT&T’s website and App Privacy Report on iOS (which doesn’t show DNS names for Messages, Phone apps) but I do know they switched to Google as their RCS provider at one point.

Update: Resolved by allowlisting rcs-copper-us.googleapis.com specifically, but I also added all of telephony.goog to unblock rcs.telephony.goog. A simple tcpdump got me the DNS requests for those domains.

 

I’ve been running into several problems with restoring MySQL backups. Namely, the backups come from an environment other than the one I’m working in and I’m forced to remove superuser commands contained in the backups.

The problem is when trying to remove those commands I’m constantly getting UTF-8 encoding errors because there are loads of invalid character sequences.

Why would MySQL encode a backup as UTF-8 if the data isn’t actually UTF-8? This feels like bad design to me.

 

It was too hot so I adjusted the thermostat temperature settings this morning for my smart home. Now it’s not too hot.
