| schestowitz | or about it | May 28 00:01 |
| schestowitz | but none of them related to some k00ky claims | May 28 00:01 |

| schestowitz | You often have to wonder if | May 28 00:06 |
| schestowitz | 1) this is real criticism | May 28 00:06 |
| schestowitz | 2) whether it's backed if not funded by the subject of criticism | May 28 00:07 |
| schestowitz | the whole criticism of 5g has been turned into this cartoonish image of vandals attacking towers over "COVID" | May 28 00:07 |
| schestowitz | now the MSM, which was paid to do lots of astroturfing and BS to promote 5G, immediately mocks any critics of 5G as lunatics | May 28 00:08 |

| schestowitz | {Disarmed} Re: URGENT - Your Amazon EC2 Abuse Report | May 28 00:48 |
| schestowitz | I wonder if this might be related to recent changes rather than a longstanding issue. I am guessing that security settings (e.g. limiting access on particular ports) for that instance alone can fix this rather than instance-level (in the VM) configs or software updates. No reason why the outside world should query it for DNS lookups. Or for DNS requests to be processed at all. Or maybe I misunderstood the nature of this weakness. | May 28 00:48 |
| schestowitz | As a side note, in the past I came under DDOS attacks from AWS instances... | May 28 00:48 |

| schestowitz | hi, dabblerdude | May 28 02:43 |
| schestowitz | why ask support questions here? | May 28 02:43 |
| dabblerdude | Hi schestowitz. | May 28 02:43 |
| dabblerdude | Cause this is a tech channel. | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | heh, well... | May 28 02:44 |
| dabblerdude | #techrights. | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | not technical support | May 28 02:44 |
| dabblerdude | Lol. Sorry about that. | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | but brightness is a physical thing | May 28 02:44 |
| dabblerdude | What's this channel for then? | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | maybe try keyboard shortcuts first | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | failing that, check the GUI, systemsettings etc. | May 28 02:44 |
| schestowitz | Techrights is about digital/tech rights/freedom | May 28 02:45 |
| schestowitz | btw, if the laptop is old, maybe the backlight is knackered | May 28 02:45 |
| schestowitz | I recently retired a PC from 2009 | May 28 02:45 |
| schestowitz | the screen was getting dimmer over time until it stopped working | May 28 02:46 |
| schestowitz | so no point trying hard to force it to be brighter like it used to be | May 28 02:46 |
| schestowitz | one of my old (2011) monitor is already getting quite dimmed down, harder to see in daytime | May 28 02:46 |
| cubexyz | the old CRTs had a knob for brightness | May 28 02:46 |
| schestowitz | so maybe your brightness is already maxed, but it seems dimmed down due to age | May 28 02:46 |
| schestowitz | cubexyz: yes, but they too lose brightness over time | May 28 02:47 |
| cubexyz | yes | May 28 02:47 |
| schestowitz | after about 14 years of my large Dell CRT it was becoming barely visible, even with max brightness | May 28 02:47 |
| cubexyz | ha, interesting | May 28 02:47 |
| schestowitz | I had to tinker with contrast just to keep it almost usable | May 28 02:47 |
| cubexyz | this CRT is 24 years old now | May 28 02:47 |
| schestowitz | one day it just 'exploded' and stopped working, I wouldn't dare plug it to the socket again | May 28 02:48 |
| cubexyz | LCD's can last longer than 14 years | May 28 02:49 |
| dabblerdude | LCD's can lose the ability to adjust to different brightness levels? | May 28 02:50 |
| cubexyz | it's the inverter that usually goes | May 28 02:51 |
| cubexyz | replace that... and who knows how long it will last | May 28 02:51 |

| cubexyz | check xrandr I bet there's a way to make it brighter | May 28 02:52 |
| cubexyz | xrandr --output eDP-1 --brigtness 0.5 | May 28 02:56 |
| cubexyz | try xrandr --verbose and see what it says | May 28 02:56 |
| cubexyz | ok, xrandr --output DVI-1 --brightness 0.5 works for me | May 28 02:58 |
| cubexyz | look for the connected primary display | May 28 02:59 |
| cubexyz | so --brightness 1.0 may be the maximum | May 28 02:59 |
| cubexyz | mmmm, no it can go higher | May 28 03:00 |
| cubexyz | you'll have to experiment with it | May 28 03:00 |

| schestowitz | but at least it is solid as it is and I won't be forced to upgrade for security reasons for like half a decade to come | May 28 11:11 |

| schestowitz | Dogs are magical animals | May 28 17:36 |

| *insmodppa has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | May 28 17:37 | |

| schestowitz | yes | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | exactly | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | other examples too | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | can't remember those offhand | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | the idea is that of deterrence | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | we have this 'expert' dog right here | May 28 17:37 |
| schestowitz | so you DEFINITELY do NOT want to walk off with some drugs, declare now or don't even think about packing them in | May 28 17:38 |
| schestowitz | the media participates in the propaganda that say these word | May 28 17:38 |
| schestowitz | like all those "good cop" TV shows | May 28 17:38 |
| schestowitz | *these work | May 28 17:38 |
| MinceR | got to condition the peons to perfect obedience | May 28 17:39 |
| MinceR | otherwise how could a few sociopaths maintain a hell on earth for billions? | May 28 17:39 |
| schestowitz | surveillance is similar btw | May 28 17:39 |
| schestowitz | advertisers fool the clients | May 28 17:39 |
| schestowitz | thinking all this behavrioural thing works | May 28 17:39 |
| schestowitz | and that they know what you want to buy next | May 28 17:40 |
| schestowitz | this has been debunked, but their massive industry keeps pushing the lie fiercely | May 28 17:40 |
| schestowitz | surveillance sniffing out terrorists assume those terrorists act normal when observed online and offline | May 28 17:40 |
| schestowitz | (and don';t hide) | May 28 17:40 |
| schestowitz | so in reality you sniff out people maybe for tax issues, not much bigger things | May 28 17:41 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The first bankruptcy notice I got was a letter from a used car dealer saying they finance people who are in bankruptcy. | May 28 22:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They move faster than the court...... smh | May 28 22:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm guessing that they have a PACER account and just send junk mail to everyone who filed bankruptcy that morning. | May 28 22:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I must be protected by the automatic stay right now. | May 28 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The credit card people will be breaking the law if they take any action against me, including making phone calls and sending letters. | May 28 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're also prohibited from filing any lawsuits against me. | May 28 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a tremendous relief. Nobody ever wants to file bankruptcy, but when the alternative is to have tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt you can't pay that someone will get around to suing you for, it's not the worst option. | May 28 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My mom said there would have been no point in filing Chapter 13 for her. She quit working overtime and took some unpaid days off to get herself under the income threshold for a Chapter 7. | May 28 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was cheaper to earn less money for a while than to have people suing her abd trying to garnish her paycheck. | May 28 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, it's logical. She was buried alive under an $80,000 mortgage that her ex died and willed the house to his wife. That was just the beginning. | May 28 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She didn't have any credit cards, but she was ubderwater on a car loan on a car that was breaking down a lot. So it got her out of that | May 28 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it ripped up $12,000 in back taxes to the IRS and state. | May 28 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And $70,000 in medical bills for a hospital stay due to gallstones. | May 28 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it ripped up an apartment lease that she had to break 8 months early because new management came in and turned it from a quiet apartment complex for seniors to a roach motel for junkie trash. | May 28 22:26 |
| MinceR | https://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/154660969420190104after.png | May 28 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm asking the court to rip up 5 credit cards, 17 medical bills, two leases that I had to break early, a car loan that is not only severely underwater but which my ex has and I don't even know where it's at, an old cell phone bill from AT&T, and some other stuff. | May 28 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The active debt is about $68,000 and the active plus zombie debt is well over $100,000. | May 28 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You throw in the zombie debt for many reasons. | May 28 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It gives your active creditors less incentive to try to object because if the trustee took anything, it would mean less money for them. So if you owe someone $10 from 15 years ago, you throw it in. | May 28 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It also makes it illegal for them to try to sell it to junk debt collectors who find you and send you scary letters to trick you into reaffirming the debt. | May 28 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For most of my life I just got away with walking away from my bills without filing bankruptcy because I was judgment proof. | May 28 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Many medical debt collectors don't even bother putting anything on your credit report. It's nuts. | May 28 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The new FICO models are rigged to calculate medical debt differently anyway. It's less damaging to your credit score because most people here have some and if you punish everyone then there's nobody to send credit cards and car loans to. | May 28 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lenders can model risk however they want and despite what they want you to believe, lending standards didn't get much tighter after the last recession. | May 28 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some outrageously bad behavior was banned, but it was mostly cosmetic industry friendly "reform". | May 28 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some credit card banks would do things like apply your paynent late on purpose to whack you with a $40 fee or something. | May 28 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | --- | May 28 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told them "I received your letter from May 14th. I would like to inform you that I am filing for bankruptcy and have named you as a creditor. It is my recommendation that you do not send me any more notices or I will take action accordingly.". | May 28 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She told me that they'd put my account on a bankruptcy hold. | May 28 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Err, I told a medical debt collector that, rather. | May 28 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As crimes go, a Class C Misdemeanor is almost a joke, but Kroger apparently was hiring people and then firing them when the background check came back and there was a Class C Misdemeanor on it. | May 28 23:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since background checks look for convictions, not a dismissed case, if the state offers Supervision that closes out with a dismissal, it's a pretty big carrot to get you to take a plea deal. | May 28 23:15 |
