    With release 26.10, everyone runs the same pfSense software. 

Nice.

    The air-gapped installer is back

Nice++. The online-only install felt like encrapification and it caused some inconvenience for me; I had to keep a wireless bridge client handy to get bare-metal installs done.

I've been with pfSense since 1.2 - before I was with monowall and IPFire. Although I'm always happy with pfSense, I might have strayed if it weren't for pfBlocker (Tom) then pfBlockerNG (BBCan).

I appreciate that.

I keep all my logins at the house so no posting until after work. I'll fudge that a bit to explain my browser is a virtual app and I can access it away from home when needed. Not often tho.

We got redlined 3 years ago. All at once, >90% of the families moved their trick+treating to the wealthy side of the neighborhood. We originally had >100 kids, year after year.

Starting in 2023, we had 10-15 & none after 8pm.

I now buy 15 $1 bags of quality candy and that handles it.

I also have small water bottles - which the kids enthusiastically appreciate.

In this context, is HN Replies something other than the reply button?

I review my post history to see replies.

>> You could have manufactured enough ARC video cards to meet demand.

> I don't know if anyone told you, but GDDR is included in the current RAM shortage

    My understanding is that the 2025 RAM shortage
    did not cause the 2022/2023 ARC shortages.

    Intel's finance chief David Zinsner said the firm did not expect to
    bring in more cash than it spent this year, and forecast 
    lower-than-expected revenue for its fourth quarter.

You could have manufactured enough ARC video cards to meet demand. Going forward, you could manufacture solutions to bring local LLM options closer to affordability.

If you're into manufacturing stuff people really want, that is.

Do we have any history yet for polymarket + us elections?

> Self-employed individuals who've set up an umbrella business entity aren't particularly common.

I've serviced a lot of small businesses over 35yr of IT (typically deep into operations) and I've never come across it.

> Iran took the whole country offline, because their country barely functions

Iran took their whole country offline because they locked the country behind CGNAT - which is an ideal tech for offlining an entire nation.

> Good. Europe does not need Islam.

Equally true would be that Europe does not need religion.

But speaking to that point: Although I am no longer theist, I spent many days doing religion-funded community service (disaster rebuilding, food distribution, community service) that was nothing but filling in a bit of the holes that are continually left by society.

And to be clear, much of that religious sourced aid is done by Islamic outreach entities.

Once society's holes are reliably filled, we can responsibly discuss depreciating religion.

If the desire is to eradicate one religion (or all but one), the Crusades taught a lot about how that goes.

> You obviously don't care much about your children's lives

This obviously isn't true. But to be fair, given the

    massively incomplete dataset and the
    ignorance based fallacies (meathead level repairs)

upon which this (~worst possible) conclusion is based - it never really stood a chance.
