Equifax: We Can Monetize People's Security Needs Against Identity Theft ™

PSA on the Equifax breach:

You can enter most anything into their "check if I've been breached" thing and it will say you've been breached.

The whole site they set up is just a scam to force people into signing up for their "identity protection service." You get a year free but you better believe they'll start charging you for it after that, and the opt-out process is never easy.

Don't buy into it. Just keep an eye on your credit report and credit/bank account statements.

Work & Servers: Console Abuse 

In case you wanted horrible console commands that return stats from Redis servers for monitoring:

# kbps out
echo info stats | redis-cli | sed '1,7d' | sed '2,20d' | sed -r 's/.*instantaneous_output_kbps:([0-9\.]+).*/\1/g'

# kbps in
echo info stats | redis-cli | sed '1,6d' | sed '2,20d' | sed -r 's/.*instantaneous_input_kbps:([0-9\.]+).*/\1/g'

# Connected clients
echo info clients| redis-cli | sed '1d' | sed '2,10d' | sed -r 's/.*connected_clients:([0-9]+).*/\1/g'

OMG I just realized something

Hugh Jackman is an alien infiltrator in a terrible disguise

I mean how else can you explain naming yourself "Jack Human" and then being all "oh shit that's too obvious I better spoonerize that"

I hope wherever you are, that the world is treating you kindly.

If it isn't, then I hope this bit of music I tried making helps brighten your mood a little!

SO HOW EXACTLY DOES ONE VOTE LIKE A YOTE?

hint; any candidate you actually support is probably too left-leaning to win elections.

This is a hurricane evacuation map for where I used to live.
What amazes me is how little people where I live now know about the work that goes into these.
Planning where people can go, how well people can get there, and whether it's just minimal safety, or enough to put up with the entire storm.
I don't envy Florida right now, but I feel for them and remind them: Unscented bleach is essential for after-storm water care if boil orders go into effect.

PSA: If you see police doing something that's not really OK, take a video of it and share it as far and wide as you can. It's the best thing we as individuals can do to keep police accountable for their actions.

Complaining about badly designed government systems 

GoodToGo is a toll system used by Washington -- kinda like EasyPass.

It has a web system that lets you manage your account, including adding funds automatically at specified times of the month.

If your balance reaches 0, their system automatically:
• Flags your account
• Emails AND Calls you to notify you of this
• Bills you at an inflated rate ($2/toll extra!!)

It cannot automatically:
• Add funds to fix the problem

*incoherent screaming*
