    Project #homelab for today: Authentik vs Pocket ID

    I want to passkey all the things, but which one is best? Also can I use with Tailscale as well as some of the external things I run with my bastion jumpbox/Pangolin setup?

    #Caturday with friends

    This new season of #Andor is hitting differently thanks to current events or is it just me…

    So the 1st Amendment is only for citizens now and not just anyone wanting to experience and tour our country? This was being done on a case by case basis where warranted, but now is mandatory.

    US Visa Applications from Japan Now Require Disclosing 5 Years of Social Media History

    Another floofy #caturday is upon us! 😸

    A fluffy cat wearing an orange bandana is resting on a rolled up green towel next to a cardboard cat scratchpost and a cat tower.

    So he folded and dropped those tariffs down to 10% huh… except 125% on China huh… Market back up 2000 point instantly though huh

    🤔

    This doesn’t smell right at all. Someone really close to these decisions gotta be plundering and swashbuckling 🏴‍☠️💸😑

    Auto-generated description: A diagram shows the percentage of cars sold in America made in the U.S., Canada & Mexico, and other countries for various automotive brands, featuring in order from most to least domestic: Tesla, Ford, Stellantis, Nissan, GM, Hyundai-Kia, and Volkswagen.

    🤔 At first glance, seems like these new tarriffs are gonna be more beneficial to one automaker in particular… coincidence?

    GA Republicans introduced a bill to give the State Election Board more power, including enforcing hand ballot counts, ruling on voter eligibility appeals, and leaving a voter accuracy group. Critics say it overreaches, while supporters argue it adds accountability. I call it voter suppression.

    Happy #caturday for those celebrating.

    🚨 Georgia residents: don’t fall for this Peach Pass scammer

    A text message claiming an outstanding toll payment is due with a suspicious phone number and link.

    Georgia SRTA never sends just a text message to collect unpaid tolls; you’ll get postal mail and emails as well. No one from Philippines would text you; you’d be asked to log in to your account, not click a link.

    DON’T FALL FOR IT!

    Putting 2 and 2 together, our favorite 🍊 🫏 thinks Canada will become the 51st state because of tarriffs

    So that’s where all this ‘Canada will be a state’ 🐂 💩 came from. He can’t keep a single congruent thought in his mind. He just read a cliff’s Note from the Wikipedia page and that’s that. 🤬

    A voicemail transcription displays a scam message about overdue back tax filings with two highlighted phone numbers.

    Guess I’m gonna have to make a “scam-of-the-day” section in my “shit I don’t like about living in the States” category of the blog.

    ✔️ calling from Belgium (?) ✔️ goofy ass AI voice. ✔️ I am literally a licensed tax pro. My shit is always on time.

    They got the wrong one today! Don’t fall for this!

    I didn’t even know this was a thing: Installed this Intel Arc A310 GPU to aid in transcoding and AI tasks but now my QNAP sees it as system memory. How does that even happen?! 64GB but let’s use the 4GB on the GPU instead. 😒 #homelab

    A person is holding a SPARKLE graphics card next to an open NAS computer with visible internal components.

    This smells like some Nazi/Bolshevik/Orwellian type shit right here. Why does it seem like nobody else is giving the slightest damn about this?!

    A statement from the Associated Press addresses restricted Oval Office access due to editorial disagreements with the Trump administration.

    That playbook being published is the reason I’m not freaking out. Quit pretending like you don’t know what’s coming next and prepare yourself.

    We are seeing Project 2025 unfold in real-time.

    (The dystopian humor in having AI summarize and keep track of this all II at lost on me either. 🤖)

    A phone screen displays a message about dismantling government services and imposing tariffs, with a focus on a Project 2025 document discussing the "Administrative State."Text outlines key aspects of Project 2025, including dismantling government services, immigration crackdowns, tariff policies, and shutting down the Department of Education.

    Wouldn’t be a winter storm in Atlanta if the power didn’t damn go out. Good thing I gassed up the RV beforehand. Time for some driveway camping.
