Okay, Rule34dle, "Flygon" vs "Shaymin", both Pokemon characters, is really unfair...

Route that traffic through malicious actors! Dan Lyke / comment 0

Go through what your LLM is doing with a fine toothed comb: Tao of Mac: When OpenCode decides to use a Chinese proxy

When I connected back to one of the containers, I noticed that OpenCode (which I’m running inside toad, since I very much prefer its text UI) had decided to route the Go package installations through a Chinese proxy server:

Must have been Christmas Dan Lyke / comment 0

Must have been Christmas related. Facebook Marketplace and similar were full of free or super cheap monitors, so I promised one of mine to a friend figuring I'd just pick up another one.

Now they're all $75+ for ancient 1080p ones.

Tried to use Google to find an old page Dan Lyke / comment 0

Tried to use Google to find an old page on my web site, using the 'site:' qualifier. It returned no hits.

Given the amount of search engine traffic I see in the logs, that isn't Google, maybe they've just given up trying to index the web?

Ice harassment of citizens Dan Lyke / comment 0

As the current government is speedrunning the grievances laid out in the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies, a few notes on ICE harassment of citizens.

Finding a bunch of news stories about this, but the most to the point seems to be Minnesota House of Representatives — Legislative News and Views - Rep. Michael Howard (DFL) — Legislative Update - Responding to ICE in Our Community — Friday, January 9, 2026

But even as investigations begin, ICE’s rampage across Minnesota continues, including right in our backyard. Yesterday in Richfield, federal agents, including Greg Bovino, senior commander of US Border Patrol, entered Target without a warrant, physically assaulted, and arrested two Target employees, both who are U.S. citizens.

That count is recent enough that Pro Publica: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. doesn't include them in their count.
