I have always thought of it as how graffiti taggers work. They are always tagging over each other’s work. The last one to paint gets the most exposure but you can still see remnants of more recent taggers the lay under the topmost. Eventually the oldest stuff just gets covered completely. They don’t necessarily pick their canvas because there is other work they try to cover up, they pick their canvas for the location and exposure.
Are you just talking about dynamic DNS services for one or a few home servers?
There’s always DynDNS, but that’s a paid service. I actually discovered that dynamic IP address service was provided free by Google when using Google Domains as the registrar, so I moved a few of my private domains over to Google several years ago to save myself $55 a year.
Unfortunately, Google Domains is shutting down and all registrar services and existing customer domains are getting moved to squarespace and I’ve not yet been able to determine if squarespace is going to be offering the free dynamic DNS service or not.
The only way this wouldn’t meet the definition of ‘execution’ is if it were an accidental shooting, which I find hard to believe when it involved 2 dead. Are you confusing the word ‘execution’ with ‘assassination’, which would imply there was both planning and pre-selection of the targets? No one is saying this was an assassination.
The first two sentences of the article:
Two people have been shot dead in the Belgian capital Brussels on Monday evening, police have said.
The gunman fled the scene and is still at large. Prosecutors say they are treating the shooting as terrorism.
Does a gunman shooting and killing 2 people not meet your definition of ‘executed’?
To keep the analogy going, they would have to have raped and beheaded the occupants of the death star before actually blowing them up…and the Death Star would have to have been an Imperial tourist destination with not just Imperial citizens, but also visiting citizens from all across the galaxy…but if that’s what George Lucas had filmed, I think there would have been a lot less sympathy for the rebels.
I assume you mean “CO” detector. CO2 is Carbon Dioxide and I don’t think you went out and purchased and installed a detector for that.
High humidity levels can absolutely cause a false alarm on a CO detector. Example: https://safeinhomeair.com/carbon-monoxide-humidity/
I’ll also point out that not all CO detectors are created equal. There was a lot of news about this earlier this year where a number of CO detectors sold on Amazon simply did not work, or did not meet published safety and detection standards. Here’s an example of some of the serious warnings that were published: https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/News-Releases/2023/CPSC-Warns-Consumers-to-Immediately-Stop-Using-GLBSUNION-and-CUZMAK-Digital-Display-Carbon-Monoxide-Detectors-Due-to-Failure-to-Alert-Consumers-to-Deadly-Carbon-Monoxide-Sold-on-Amazon-com#:~:text=The CO detectors were sold,on www.SaferProducts.gov . Following that announcement, there were several other brands and models that were flagged as being non-compliant. If you haven’t done so already, find your make/model and verify that it’s not one of the sub-standard units that were pawned on Amazon for years.
CO detectors also need to be replaced (they don’t last forever). Most use chemistry to detect CO levels, and that chemistry begins degrading as soon as the unit is built. Some last just a couple years, some are designed to last up to 10 years, but the point is - they all go bad eventually. How old is your detector?
Smoke detectors can also be fooled by high moisture.
I usually don’t buy smoke/CO combo units (I prefer separate detectors for each thing), but I do have a combo unit in a hallway in my upstairs - and it’s got a great feature where it announces by voice what is triggering the alarm (“smoke” or “carbon monoxide”). Does yours do that or does it just sound the same alarm regardless of what was detected?

Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas spokesman, meanwhile told the BBC that the group had direct backing for the attack from Iran.
What are you getting at here? The people who executed the attack said Iran helped plan it.
It’s critical to point out the primary scenario associated with the survey and chart data in that article.
“Given the scenario of irreversable brain injury”.
That changes everything.
Anonymous tips are less than worthless.
The first problem is that anyone who is anonymously tipped on is just going to deny it. And now its the word of a named person vs an anonymous tip. That isn’t going to fly.
The next problem is that people will quickly learn to weaponize the anonymous tip process to persecute the people they dislike - regardless of whether the target was even involved in the vandalism.
Policies like these are dumb. They don’t discourage the bad behavior (the opposite, actually, perpetrators know that the damage they do will impact far more people, which is the entire point of doing it in the first place, so this policy actually works as an incentive to do more vandalism).
Corporations should be held responsible for the emissions caused by their employee’s commuting.
This would really change the discussion about return to office.
That wasn’t an apology. He believes people are slaves, the only thing he regrets is getting caught on video saying it out loud.
TIL, my belief that I have the right to call out bullshit when I see it is considered a religion now.
It usually means you reside in a multi-block sized apartment complex and that the dumpsters are on one end of the complex rather than being centrally located, and your apartment is on the other end… and those distances feel doubled if it is raining, or there is snow or ice on the ground.
Well, to keep up the analogy, it wouldn’t be the gun manufacturers advertising that…that’s more the realm of the ammunition manufacturers. For a given gun, some ammunition is designed to be lethal, and some ammunition is designed to be non-lethal.
Because it sets a precedent that has ludicrous outcomes where the manufacturers of any product that are used for wrong are liable for the damages caused by their use and suddenly nobody wants to manufacture screwdrivers any more. PC manufacturers are now responsible for the actions of hackers and so no more pc manufacturing, auto manufacturers are now responsible for vehicular homocides so no more auto manufacturers, etc, etc.
Rewritten with synonyms that are more understandable:
Peter Piper selected a 2-gallon quantity of pickled peppers.
…probably at the market. The peppers were already harvested and pickled.
From the article:
Over 400,000 Russians arrived in Phuket between January and July this year
Wow! Almost half a million. The native population of Phuket is only 140,000.
Are they political activists, pacifists, or just cowards? Probably some from each category, but I’d wager most of them aren’t actual political activists protesting the actions of their government.
If answering the email requires writing a book to anticipate all the possible questions or options or complications that might come up, then no it’s not disrespectful to call someone instead.
