The core problem with caucus fanatics is assuming that a private entity like a political party has an absolute right to have exclusive labeling rights on a ballot. It's rent-seeking behavior by political monopolists. #utpol

This new SSD is super zippy. 2x the speed of the old PCIe 3.0 model and runs 25-30C cooler under load.

It's weird to talk about "water questions" when earlier in the same article it mentions these are sodium-cooled reactors, and modern reactors produce much less waste than coal and forebearers. But pop culture says "it's like The Simpsons" which riffed on Gen I designs from the 50s and 60s. #utpol

I would gladly trade collapsing my home's supposed value down to what I paid 11 years ago plus inflation in exchange for affordable housing for everyone. This puts me at odds with basically everyone who owns a home.

I'll be bringing some of my own goodies for sale/trade. #SAINTCON

The combination of the Eruptor and Stalwart is aces against bugs. The former does wonders on the big guys and ranged groups, and the latter does amazing crowd control at close range. I only keep the grenade pistol around for closing bug holes now. #Helldivers2

Idiot kids will be idiot kids, even if they are in one of the most notorious ransomware gangs out there. Imagine getting popped because the money was burning a hole in your pocket and you just had to get a copy of Borderlands 4 and some Chipotle. www.theregister.com/2025/09/19/s...

And yet...

By their fruits, ye shall know them.

Post a female character you love

Tired: cancelling Disney memberships. Wired: pirating as much of their content as you can so all of your friends and family on your Plex server will as well.

As I like to say, one person saying "don't eat rat poison" and another saying "eat a pound of rat poison" don't find common ground by saying "okay, just half a pound of rat poison".

As a never-Trump (now former) Republican, I wish I could enjoy being smug, but instead I'm bracing for the fallout and figuring out how to stay safe.

Networking is a really weird way to say "make friends who know your professional competencies".

I long ago resolved to not get into discussions with people like this who would argue in bad faith. Their only goal is to make the interaction so miserable and unpleasant that you withdraw from the public sphere. Don't give them your attention. Don't give them oxygen. Say no to sea lions.

Are you interested in making your own SAINTCON mini badge? Community member RuShan has a great YouTube channel showing some guides for KiCAD and his take on how to build your own: www.youtube.com/@herushan1

oracle is a legal department which, as a side effect, produces ISO 9000-compliant variations on open source projects. if you buy any of them you will eventually receive a lawsuit threat which will bankrupt your company

If you are LDS, ask yourself how ICE is in harmony with Church positions. (Hint: they are not.) www.thechurchnews.com/leaders/2025...

When Sam Altman speaks, it is only to drive a new hype cycle for his grifting machine. There is no value in paying attention to the content because it's always the same. You can just say "there he goes again" and crack some jokes at his expense.

This is probably why all of our single friends tell us that dating is a miserable experience. Touch grass, folks. (My wife and I met online in 2004 when it was still weird, but we spent a LOT of time in-person.)

Utah, never forget that we could have had this as our state flag. (I mean, the new one is really great, but c'mon: raptors!)

My experience with outsourcers is that they are often MORE expensive because of nickel-and-dime contracts for things you didn't think to initially ask for. Just bring the IT and security teams in-house, or at least keep the MSPs on a very tight leash.

George Zinn is the perpetual side character in every single major #utpol story.

Someone stop this culinary hate crime.

TIL that Tailscale has a default MTU of 1280 and you will see some weird behavior communicating between networks if you don't do something about it. tailscale.com/kb/1023/trou...

If you're sniffing traffic, the combo of Zoom + Slack domains gives you a very good idea of which org's employees are using that network. #BSidesCache

Split tunnel VPNs save you on bandwidth, but you leak a whooole lot of data on whatever network you're on. #BSidesCache

The idea that we basically have a 4chan shooter is not all that wild. Cesspools create rot.

LLMs are supercharging skids. The code may be crap, but it still steals the files and encrypts the drives. #BSidesCache

BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Cox announces "we got him" in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. A family member of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson reached out to Washington County Sheriff's Office. Robinson confessed to someone, the governor says. #utpol #Utah

If you're at #BSidesCache in Logan Utah, come say hi!

"We are to be governed by law and not by individuals, and our loyalty is to the Constitution and its principles and processes, not to any office holder." Said just months after January 6. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/genera...

If you're trying to follow along with news from #Utah, might I suggest the feed I made? It is chock full of local outlets and reporters giving you accurate, immediate information. bsky.app/profile/did:... Is someone missing from the list? Ping me and I'll fix that.

I want to like the Microsoft Store as a centralized way to install and update applications, but then I actually try to use it and spend an hour for it to NOT UPDATE LIKE 20MB OF APPLICATIONS. Meanwhile, I would really like to play some Game Pass games but app broken until update.

As my CISO says, make security part of COGS. Your customers expect it and it generally scales with how many of them you have.

Theologically, I believe that judgement is something we do to ourselves, passing from this life to the next with full knowledge of what we did on this earth. We pray that they can be changed by this, like Paul the Apostle, into what they were meant to be worth.

The Venn Diagram between the people who say it now and the people who said it after assassinations in MN is almost two circles. Those few people in the middle, those are the people to watch.

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.” Been thinking about this a lot lately, and today has made it especially relevant.

And for goodness' sake, LOCAL NEWS SOURCES ONLY. The national/out-of-state outlets invariably screw up important details in their rush to get eyeballs.

Political violence has no place in America. No matter how much you disagree with someone, or how bad you think their policies are. On a personal note, this is particularly horrifying because it happened on a college campus less than 40 miles from mine

For reference, overperforming at D+16 means that all four of Utah's congressional districts would be in play next year with the current maps. Assuming that #utdem can actually find some quality candidates. #utpol

The npm compromise netted the attacker a whopping 5 cents. 🤡 www.securityalliance.org/news/2025-09...

I want Amazon to make a true Kids Edition Kindle Fire, one with a 14 hour battery life so that all of us lazy parents don't have to deal with "oh no, my battery is dead, PANIK".

I had to do this anyway because the .NET projects are using React, Angular, Svelte, <insert JS frontend framework here> and boy howdy is that code base fun.

My working theory is that the general Church push to be accepted as more mainstream in America has led too many members to adopt the mannerisms and customs of the evangelical right, especially as abortion became the only issue for some members. We stopped being a peculiar people.
