audio engineers have learned a lot and the new software and remastering stuff are incredible.

the original master tapes really did capture a bunch of stuff that didn't make it to the records/cds we originally bought.

definitely worth getting some of them.

@inthehands @conniptions @mekkaokereke

+1 on mastering/remastering.

been interesting seeing what remastered albums have come out and how much clarity there is. got some jethro tull that i knew the albums inside out. amazing what was hiding in the original recordings.

and the dvd mixes, like eagles hells freezes over dvd or the steve wilson remixes of yes albums.

feeds to their maga-like crowd, as it's a "subtle" version of "woke bank failure". "it wasn't deregulation, it was diversity that caused the crash".

i'm sure De Satanis and his ilk on Faux News will be quoting this and putting this exact spin on it.

i've had several companies and boards with international spread where we just post the time in UTC and let everyone's own calendar figure out conversion to local time.

still screwy but a bit less error prone.

but DST just needs to die/stop... timezones make it hard enough.

for the same reason that having 1918 space & NAT as one layer of your security is frequently useful (though not enough in and of itself), NAT66 does solve some problems and make things harder for attackers.

it does up the complexity of debugging on your part, which is one reason i'm not a huge NAT fan in general. but security is all about risk/benefit/complexity tradeoffs.

be interested to see what you wind up with, assuming you can share.

i still remember the PGP source code and 3DES being classed as munitions. there were t-shirts w pgp code as one workaround.

a company i was working for (UUNET) was doing a 3DES encrypted tunnel box at the time. we had to get registered as arms dealers with the state dept. two cool results:

1) we got the auction catalog with used tanks, etc. seemed like the perfect DC commuting vehicle
2) i got to call my parents and tell them that they didn't have to worry about me working on that weird/shifty thing, the internet. i was now an arms dealer.

feels...

if you don't already own a circuit breaker finder, get one. i've owned multiple houses over the years and in every one, without exception, i've needed it to figure out what odd last minute thing some electrician added to a circuit that was totally unrelated to the rest and not labeled in the breaker box.

@hacks4pancakes

some also check polarity/GFCI while plugged in (i like Klein tools). while you're poking and labeling, may as well find all the shortcuts they took...

i've used mine almost as much as the toner tracing network/phone wiring.
