We actually have TWO things happening this week. On the Second there is that sign that reads either “change in a war” or “news about a war.” It is kid of annoying that the sign for news has zero differentiation about when it means “change,” but that’s just part of being an astrologer. The second sign is also somewhat vague, but the best reading I can come up with in “growth/increase at home.” This could also refer to a new home, or a plumbing remodel. It really does NOT seem to mean “infestation or wild animal gives birth in your house,” though that last one isn’t as far outside the scope of meaning as the insects thing. It’s going to be a lucky month for Libra, so enjoy that if it applies to you.

Im not sleeping well,
Ive lost all hope
Sounds right
Cheers!
I’ve got a project this week that started giving me anxiety on Wednesday. I dont need this.
Tall Cans!
HEY YUFUS!
Right backatcha
I get to join a call at 0800 tomorrow morning for day 7 of an outage. They weren’t even planning on sending out updates over the weekend. I expect leaving for vacation with the issue still ongoing.
I don’t know what you do obviously, but if I paid for some service and it had been down for 4 days going into the weekend, and the provider closed down for the weekend as usual with it out, I would not be a customer anymore. I’d be a plaintiff.
(((Jarflax:
Refunds for outages are in our contracts, I’m very curious as to what they find as the cause, and how they spin the root cause analysis on this. I have not been on the customer calls, as I’ve been on the internal tech calls, but from what those on the customer calls have said… things are already really ugly. We’re at CEOs yelling at our CEO level.
Sagittarius: The Blank Card – I’m really wanting to say I drew it reversed, but how could I tell?
1000 yard stare.
So a normal week then.
Widowhood, sadness, embarrassment, absence, sterility, mourning, privation, separation.
Sounds like a big ole pile of shit.

huh?
Watching Essen Recipes on the yew toobs. Good God that is some delicious food. I did notice one thing….remember when you were studying language in grade school and they classified languages? If you remember there is a group of languages characterized as ‘romance’ languages. These languages are particularly appealing to the ear…mostly. You will notice if you look at a list of the Romance languages that German is NOT on the list.
Romance languages are those descended from Latin – aka of Rome
It has nothing to do with ear appeal.
On the topic of Ear appeal, I do not find Romance languages to be easy to listen to. They are irritating and I can’t stand them for long. They are not as bad as Arabic or Chinese, but I still dislike hearing them.
I am aware of that. You missed my joke.
Perhaps it’s because of a difference of opinion on what languages are easy to listen to.
Probably because it wasn’t funny.
“Ooh, that person [ talks funny/isn’t stereotypically good looking ], therefore nothing that person says has any value.” Real funny and intelligent.
This exchange makes it clear that Glibertarian is not a Romance language.
There has been a mass shooting at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc. We will see what flavor of crazy did it.
I’m going to throw a random guess of Hawaiian light dining.
So the pineapple and spam on pizza people?
Aloha snackbar is a possibility, but so is the sausage and mock melon combo, or binder and beard, I wouldn’t want to be uninclusive.
I say it was a Jehovas witness
Amish mafia
A new convert experiencing caffeine withdrawal.
Too soon, but also a legit LOL from someone who recently went through caffeine withdrawal.
Tres is probably closest to the truth.
Not just a shooting. Dude crashed his car into the church, killed some people and lit the place on fire.
Yes. It’s about 3 minutes from my workplace.
Damn.
“Waow Blanc Police Chief says 40 year old male drove his vehicle through the front doors of the church,exited vehicle, shot 10 victims, 1 fatal, police believe the suspect deliberately set church on fire and that additional victims will be found, suspect was neutralized”
https://x.com/ReiS_TuRCo/status/1972353734069141591
So they know the age but nothing else?
Was that lethally or nonlethally neutralized?
Yeah, if they know the age, they know his identity.
Funny they only release the age, though. I think a photo of his brains leaking out onto the pavement after being “neutralized” would actually be a good thing. “This is how it ends, kids. Sure this is what you want?”
The odds are way north of 90% it was either a muzzie or a commie.
Por que no los dos? Could easily be a Free Palestine Transtifa type.
That would just be a Commie.
White guy with long northern type beard, hunter, lots of camo in his Facebook, Iraq vet. Probably not antifa or pro-trans. I’d guess either complete mental break, or specific beef with that church or LDS in general.
“ Cancer: Justice – Equity, rightness, probity, executive; triumph of the deserving side in law.”
Oh yes, there will be probing.
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY.
Hitting the Absinthe today?
doing an absinthe rinse on the glass for a cocktail is not Hitting the Absinthe
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Too long, didn’t bother.
Yeah. I sometimes miss the 160 character limit.
Heh.
Is it just me or is there something suspicious about all of these mass shootings?
CCP is behind it all, they have been infiltrating for decades.

Mrs. TOK is a Leo. Time to update my will.
Never mind your will, for god’s sake check on the dog!
Nah, you’re only going to embarrass her.
No different than any other husband on any given day.
Yeah, is there a worse card than the Queen of Swords?
So, I have a technical issue. I am trying to set up my linux server as a gateway between my network and the internet.
In current configuration, that role is being filled by an aging router who’s getting moved inside the gateway to handle local traffic.
The problem is the linux server keeps wanting to use the static router IP for the gateway and I’m trying to convince it to use the DHCP assigned one from the ISP to send external traffic.
Right now, when the internal interface is plugged into the router my regular desktop traffic will go to the linux server gateway IP, then get routed back to the router to either go out by it or get stuck if I’ve plugged the modem cable into the external interface on the linux server.
All traffic originating at the Linux server always tries to go to the internal router. If I put it in between the router and modem, it just keeps trying to talk internally.
I am clearly forgetting something.
🙄
The IPs the external interface picked up were nothing close to the IPs the router gets when talking to the ISP.
I’m debating getting a 4-port wired router I can give a static internal address to so I can skip the DHCP uncertainty and just know what the linux box will be talking to upstream. But I shouldn’t need to.
Always start with a wired router, set it to static and you’re all set
/Cisco network analyst
Dumb obvious questions – is there a static default route on the Linux box pointing at the internal router or are you limiting the route to just your internal network(s)? Is the Linux box getting DHCP from the router (including a default route)?
I don’t know. Linux has gone through so many too-clever changes to its network management that I’m forgetting which is the controlling configuration with the curretn kernel.
The linux box is the internal DHCP server. It does hand out a gateway, but has a static address on that interface and shouldn’t be asking for it.
netstat -rn should show you the routing table at least so you can see if that’s the issue, but yeah, the best way to update routes is probably going to be release-specific.
I got the same data as route -n
That is very much not what I want. eth0 is the internal, which is the 10.10.10 network.
try:
sudo route del -net 0.0.0.0 gw 10.10.10.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
maybe. not sure if that’s persistent across reboots, though.
futzing around with upsteam DHCP isn’t worth the headache, I’ll just spend the cash on a static node.
I’m not clear on where a router comes into this at all. The Linux box now is the router. The interface connected to the ISP should get a an address and a default route via DHCP from the ISP. When your cable modem (?) is not connected, the Linux machine should have no default route at all. The internal interface should be configured with a static private address, and connected to a switch (or some device that can act as a switch, but nothing that is attempting to perform routing). The DHCP server on the Linux machine can hand out addresses and a default route to machines that are hanging off the switch, but that default route should be the IP address of the internal interface of the Linux machine. Make sure that IPV4 forwarding is enabled, as well as IP masquerading/NAT for outbound traffic.
Note you are now responsible for firewalling any traffic coming from outside.
I did the NAT configuration.
The route before changes were being made
Desktop -> Router -> Modem
I want it to be
Desktop -> Router -> Linux -> Modem
It appears to be
Desktop -> Router -> Linux -> Router
I was always responsible for firewalling traffic.
I want it to be
Desktop -> Router -> Linux -> Modem
Again, seems to me you’ve got an extra router in there. What purpose does it serve, that the Linux machine does not? Unless you’ve already disabled everything on the router to effectively reduce it to an Ethernet switch.
My home network:
ISP ADSL Modem -> (ppp0) Linux machine (eth0) -> Ethernet switch -> Wifi AP
Linux machine does routing & NAT, provides DHCP and DNS to inside network. IP address on eth0 is the default route for everything inside.
The router is a switch and wireless access point.
If the router has a separate “WAN” port, nothing is plugged into that? Everything is plugged into the LAN switch/hub ports?
The WAN port was only used for the Modem in the starting configuration, but nothing in the after. The traffic does make it to the Linux box from inside the network. The issue is somewhere in the Linux configuration.
Eric Adams just dropped out of the race.

How much did that cost?
Rumor was an ambassadorship. We’ll see if that’s true.
Haiti by preference.
His soul.
Eric Adams just dropped out of the race.
Clearing a path to victory for the moderate independent candidate.
Haha, I crack myself up.
I know. The place is screwed no matter who wins.
Choose the form of your destruction, New York. So glad I got out.
From what I could tell, Adams was the one thing keeping the crazy-pants radical city council under control. When the commie wins he is going to unleash them like never before.
Daring caper
This heist represents more than just a financial loss—it constitutes the theft of irreplaceable artisanal products that took over a decade to create, with the stolen bottles including nearly half the stock of Westland’s first 10-year Garryana whiskey.
Just like in the movies.
Oceans 80 (proof) ?
Solid, Tres.
(Natch, they *will* make that film with 80yo Clooney & Pitt when the time comes. Featured: Much product placement.
Not featured: Real C&P. Just AI that shit. Probably already made. (People suck.))
It wasent me.
I dont like whisky.
That’s the perfect cover, you’d just sell it on like a commodity.
“This could also refer to a new home, or a plumbing remodel.”
Or a positive pregnancy test. Which isn’t on the menu for the Deans. Mrs. Dean will be in Santa Fe next week shopping for a new house, though. Which I hope is successful, because we have a full price, no (and I mean none whatsoever) contingency offer on our house sitting in my inbox.
Even better – they want to close in early October, and we can rent our current house back from them through the end of the year. Which gives us a lot of flexibility for moving (assuming Mrs. Dean finds an acceptable house) and lets us do work on the new house before we move in.
Congratulations on selling the house.
I read too quickly and understood Mrs. Dean was shopping for a horse.
Good luck.
I’m hoping to move one last time on a one way trip. I have convinced Mrs F to start unloading some of her unused/rarely used ‘stuff’. My son is taking some heirlooms from my cabinet, with a promise to pass them along to his grand nephew (my great grandson) when the time comes. My kids aren’t into hunting/shooting like some of us ol’ farm boys are.
Dood. Do NOT move to New Mexico. I have seen you complaining on here about Tucson’s political stupidity and I can tell you from personal experience that Tucson is Libertopia compared to the Land of Entrapment.
That all sounds good except for the Santa Fe part.
For those who 1) live within driving distance of Cleveland, 2) like guitar metal and 3) like Japanese women playing guitar metal, Lovebites is playing the Winchester in Lakewood OH on November 7th. That is all.
Does it involve being around people?
According to the venue, no more than 350. Live concerts generally have lost their appeal to me, but I really like this band and this is the first time they’ve come further west than England. So, what the hell, tickets are cheap and it’s a manageable drive.
I just checked and that’s a Friday I’m working, so that precludes my stopping in. Seven hours to Cleveland takes all day.
When they make love, do they look in the mirror?
It entertains me that the Winchester became a little music venue. They used to be a standard dive bar.
I wish I had known that before I completed my project.
😑
You finally got it down on black and white. You iced it, Shpip.
That was a disgusting display. I’m ready for Dillon to get the start next week.
And now I have to root for the Chiefs.
What’s better than your date bringing you flowers?
Your date bringing you flower. Pre-rolled.
I don’t get it – Is there slang or a euphemism I missed?
Bud. Grass. Reefer. Herb.
Cannabinoids?
Eagles squeak by to 4-0 by again playing good for only half a game. Hurts was 15 for 16 in 1st half and 0-8 in 2nd.
My condolences to my 216/330/440 brethren. Since working up there for almost 2 years, and always a Cincinnati fan, I find myself confused about my allegiances now.
Probably similar to how a bi-racial child must feel.
But the Bungles w/o Burrough play tomorrow, so Im sure that will be a shitshow.
