I'm pretty sure TACOmobile is using Tmo's towers, sort of like how Mint Mobile does. There's a term for it that I'm drawing a blank on, hopefully someone else knows and replies

Edit: I still don't know why the commenter included T mobile, it's definitely a broad shot against an otherwise mostly uninvolved party. TACOmobile is the one doing the billing as far as I know.

Edit part deux: Or it's a superPAC or other donation collector taking the money right now maybe? Either way, not Tmo

Very late update: sadly, the number seems likely to grow as many more missing persons have come to light. This was a serious tragedy. The avoidable nature of it is the most frustrating thing. The deaths feel predictable, given the well-documented history of the area. Last I heard the count was 110+ dead and at least another 170 missing.

I double checked the math and came up with a larger number. Like, easily twice as big. But, that tends to happen a lot when I measure things.

In fact, it seems it was all right

His copper is garbage, his servant is the best thing going for him yet he treats him so poorly, and Ea Nasir should just eat the tariffs because of it!

We are clearly in the appeasement phase, I think that has been apparent for a while now

“People were sleeping in the middle of the night when the flood came,” said Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary. “That was an act of God; it’s not the administration’s fault the floods hit when it did.”

Damn, why would God do this, Karoline?

Last I checked, the total number of dead and missing was 130. I hope the final number of deaths ends up being less than 130.

Proxmox on a Lenovo micro form factor is probably a good cost effective option. Get a business class ThinkCentre, like an M720 or something similar that's 3-5 years old that a corpo has just upgraded away from, i5 or Ryzen 5 with however much storage and RAM you want. Spin up a container specifically and only for PiHole+Unbound (and consider adding a pi or some other dedicated hardware for DNS later on for redundancy in case your main goes down), and then the rest is however you want to build your environment.

For me, I've got a Pi dedicated to 3 key tasks: PiHole, Unbound, and PiVPN (edit: and Nginx Proxy Manager. It's dedicated to 4 key tasks...). It's basically my filtering interface between the home network the rest of the internet immediately after my router handles the frontline defenses, and then I've got a Proxmox cluster to run most of the rest of my internal services.

I much prefer lacto-fermented foods over vinegar-pickled.

Peppers, both sweet and hot? Love 'em, especially fire roasted. Sun dried tomatoes? Hell yeah, great to cook with.

Soak something in vinegar though? Yeah, nah, I'm all set, thank you very much.

Seems to me like flags are usually political and/or ideological in nature... That's, like, one of the main reasons we use flags at all. The US flag is political, the Idaho flag is political, banners that say "Merry Christmas" are gonna have to be left out of schools, even "Happy Birthday" is going to read like religious favoritism to someone like a Jehovah's Witness. Especially if the Christofascist snowflakes can't even be bothered to put up with "Everybody is welcome here". Why would anyone else feel inclined to put up with their shit?

At least 43 fatalities have been reported so far, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said at a news conference Saturday evening. The dead include 28 adults and 15 children. Twelve of the adults and five children are unidentified, Leitha said. At least 27 campers were missing, Dalton Rice, Kerryville city manager, said.

This is such a tragedy, so many of the dead and missing are kids.
