Are you me?

My state provides judicial performance reports for each and every judge per judicial body. They are based on surveys responses from attorneys, peer judges/justices, jurors, witnesses, etc. They score legal ability, integrity, communication skills, judicial temperament, administrative performance, settlement performance, etc. The scores are Superior, Very Good, Satisfactory, Poor, or Unacceptable. It gets pretty in-depth. They also provide judge biographies and history.

We also look at who their supporters are, and check for headlines theyve made, as well as social media posts.

We usually have a big voting party with some cordial friends and go through the performance reports together on our mail in ballots.

Linux 3.18…???

TPM has solved this now for more than a decade.

Verified boot + TPM encryption key storage is a huge layer of protection for the boot process.

Check out the Arch wiki for TPM. It has some good reading.

All those backdoors

You need VLANs if you want separate networks on the SAME router. But if you have separate routers, then you don’t need VLANs.

You will need two wireless access points. If the router you mentioned has two wireless access points built in, then just set one to connect to the shared network, and the other will act as an AP for your private network. Then the router can be configured to send WAN traffic out of the shared network AP.

If you use a router that only has a single AP built in, then you will need to purchase and additional AP to plug into one of your router’s LAN ports so that it has two total.

Some routers might have the ability to create multiple wireless networks on one router, but be sure the hardware can handle the load. I know my ubiquity UDR can create up to 5 wireless networks on that single device before you run into performance issues.

Honestly, if you’re using your own router, you won’t need to worry about VLANs as long as your router separates your private network from the shared one.

For example, if the shared network is 192.168.0.0/24, you can make your private network 192.168.5.0/24 and have your router’s firewall block incoming traffic from 192.168.0.0/24. Only allow WAN traffic out, and allow return traffic.

Then have your router or connected server act as the authoritative DNS and DHCP servers for the 192.168.5.0/24 private network.

One wireless AP will be used in client mode to connect to the 192.168.0.0/24 shared network. The other wireless AP will be used as an access point for other devices to connect to the 192.168.5.0/24 private network.

Dishwasher mechanic?

Is it on the Arch User Repository?

The person i was talking to about it said that he doesn’t want Project 2025 put in place, but also voted Trump and (as you said) said Trump “doesn’t have anything to do with that”.

When I went to talk to them again after the election, he had either deleted his account or blocked me after I ask about Trump appointing many involved with Project 2025.

Its perfect for a small VPS. Been using it for years.

I do occasionally get places where my email simply will not send to them, even though it follows every email standard properly and isnt blacklisted. For those rare occasions, ill use a third party email address to send, which then forwards everything to my main email.

Nah, you were right. Im just joshin around.

Excuse me, did I put a “/s” in my message?

I love watching sex with my son. This is a great suggestion for OP and their son.

Right but Signal has been audited by various security firms throughout its lifetime, and each time they generally report back that this messenger has encryption locked down properly.

Being critical is good, and we should always hold them accountable for our security. We can look to third party audits for help with that.

This entire article is guessing at hypothetical backdoors. Its like saying that AES is backdoored because the US government chose it as the standard defacto symmetrical encryption.

There is no proof that Signal has done anything nefarious at all.
