@joshtpm.bsky.social , any thoughts on the release of the spiked 60 minutes CECOT segment by Canadian streaming service Global? It's been posted and taken down in numerous places but now there is a torrent, so it's not going anywhere. Not seeing any references to it pubs like politico or the Hill

Really interesting that #minisforum machines are barebones at the prices they are advertising. The machine I bought with 32gb ram, 1tb ssd is now the same price, barebones.
That's not how technology works
No thanks
Thought about a little treat for myself for Xmas. Now...

Not that it's a big thing, but I did figure out, with the help #almalinux forums where I was messing up running ansible-navigator.
Downloaded the #Cisco.ios collection but was not seeing it in the TUI.
Turns out I was running it as a container. Ran it with --ee=false.
There it is.

Just watch the first 2 episodes of #plur1bus
Wow! It pays homage to many Sci fi tropes... but does not lean on them. In fact, I would say it turns them on their heads.
A MUST watch.
Not to compare , but it had big blue door meets foundation vibes. Close in characters with huge potential scope

Quick followup, though. Can we get a sense of how it is playing in areas that voted for trump? Because at the end of the day, that's the only thing that the gop care about.
