The far right one is Pauline Hanson. #AusPol #OneNotion (Edited to change "centre" to "far right" because ... well, obviously).

So according to Brady, the three time servers are in three different locations around Australia. The devices are 15 years old. Equipment that uses software relying on GPS data needs to be updated very often and regularly. GPS data needs to be accurate to microseconds to be reliable. Three devices in three locations can't regulate each other that accurately. They need redundancy at each location, and three devices for that redundancy. And they must be hardware, firmware, and software functionally identical. The devices check their timing against other devices in the system. Telstra were negligent with time critical systems and waiting longer than a few hours to correct the known faults. Three devices at $30,000 is nine devices around the country for triple redundancy at #270,000. A pittance for the company. Triple that to replace them with more reliable hardware, and triple that to install and comprehensively test prior to switching over. A few million dollars. Too much and too expensive for Telstra? It would take a few years to complete safely. #TelstraOutage

@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org I not only had AI off from the start, but now use Vivaldi most of the time, specifically because FireFux added it.

@drunkenmadman@aus.social Awww, diddums. Too bad, so sad. Does anyone know if the elephants mounted his head on a tree?

A famous Australian footballer, Peter "Crackers" Keenan, well known as a regular gambler, once said "Never bet on anything that can talk". Even in the 1980s, a football player who got his nickname from the regular wacky things he did and said, realised that gambling on people who would absolutely rig the system was a dumb idea. Betting agencies should all be disbanded, shut down, and abolished for good.

@funkula I would like to know about mud. He can keep his flaps to himself though. And how very dare he bring them up.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Huh! No perfume bottles in the bathroom photo. I wonder why that is.

@trib@aus.social Australia has, in the past, refused entry to known Nazis. David Icke and David Irving for instance. Maybe Appalline could be denied entry now.

@trib@aus.social If a Nazi is sitting at the table, and ten others are sitting there chatting with him, you have eleven Nazis at the table. —German proverb since World War II

@artnacrea@mastodon.ie @jtk@infosec.exchange @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange And again, I wouldn't trust them to build-a-bear for a grandchild. 🙄

@artnacrea@mastodon.ie @jtk@infosec.exchange @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange I don't know the cost of a modern replacement for the 20 year old devices that Telstra uses, but let's call it $100K just to be silly. Three of these would be about 1% of the suggested fine of $30 million. Swapping the two existing out, and adding 1 more still wouldn't make that much difference. But then, I wouldn't trust Telstra management to change a light bulb.

@jtk@infosec.exchange @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange If, as seems likely, they only have the two time servers, then that's one short of the minimum redundancy required. If they had two and one rolled back after a reboot, then they have a 50/50 chance of the wrong device being used to set times. The system chose the wrong setting. If there were 3, then the two still correct would prevail. Money scrimping strikes again. To quote Pink Floyd, "For want of the price of tea and a slice, the old man died. " Us And Them - DSOTM.

SciFi Horror Voice. The samples have collected you. You were tested and found to be suitable hosts. The only answer is to nuke the whole site from orbit. But it's already game over. Game over man.

Secret Service is always intense around the President. Who do you think fetches his Big Macs for him?

Eat a brick of something at least. In an unrelated fact, did you know that wombats poo cubes? Huh, how about that?

You can't take your eyes off him, and almost forget to breathe.

FAFO wears mirrored aviator sunglasses. Who would have ever guessed?

Its hard enough already setting the TV up to look good. So, that's a hard no from me.

But have you seen the decor? Fair enough, I say. Also, I'm not 100% convinced that a competent Secret Service is in the best interests of the world just now.

@Perrin42 @szakib @hacks4pancakes As per Groucho. Please see my Avatar.

@Gracchus@aus.social We'll all be laughing hard tonight on SBS, I can tell you. https://youtu.be/afPxt4rnWU8?si=BdrXUi4oT5d3IW98&t=26

Because nothing hurts the feels of a snowflake that has (s)no balls, than a snowball.

Top hat and crooked teeth..

I can bring the fresh mango juice.

@phocks@bne.social Abso-frikin-lutely the crux of the matter.

The Who got that way back in 1971 with Won't Get Fooled Again. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Did they release the one of Trump and Musk disembarking the flying saucer and being greeted by Epstein on the helipad on Epstein Island? I'm sure someone could "find" that one by tomorrow.

@Nonya_Bidniss @alan @randahl It would be an autobiography of 32 pages. All of then ransom notes cut out from letters in a magazine. Oh, and hand written demands to put all the unmarked bills in the bag with dollar signs on them.

@billyjoebowers They start to think that they're Bruce Wayne, when if they're lucky they might be Bruce Banner. But my guess is they are in reality Bruce Bogtrotter, from Matilda. The kid eating too much chocolate cake.

Whenever you see the letters AI (the generative type) read "cocaine". It all becomes clear. "Please like my [cocaine] generated picture of flocking sheep with 6 legs."

Question 1. How many perpetrators of these crimes who possess a dick have been jailed? Answer. None, and they intend there to be none, ever. If you won't imprison them, lop off their dicks. Or short of that, lop off Todd's.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social The first shot fired in Der Leader's very own Kristallnacht.

@acb@mastodon.social J S Bach would be proud to have called this his work.

So close.

@mattblaze@federate.social Or more likely designed by an LLM to have a boot/trunk big enough for 2 full golf bags. Great for a car, but this is a refrigerator.

Fines as a percentage of gross, not nett, income, and commensurate prison terms would be a very popular move. The highest speeding fine ever recorded was issued in Switzerland, amounting to approximately $1,091,340 for a driver caught going 170 kilometers per hour (105 mph) over the speed limit, based on a percentage of his income, per km/h over the limit.

For someone who, in the words of Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing. I see nothing", he sure has a lot to say that has nothing to do with the investigation, doesn't he?

@MJmusicinears @DavidM_yeg Which dictator? The dead one, or the brain dead one?

Other than recordings of classical composers, I can only think of a couple of artists with over 100 albums. Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead, and Johnny Cash. If you get one in a hundred saying over 100, they're bullshitting.

@oysta Me rocking up to the US border would just be firmly, but politely asking to "Please let out to go home. I have no idea how I got in here, and I really don't want to stay."

@godlessmom@mas.to That's a million dollar call out fee, right there.

The ultimate prize being the predator in chief.

Do you know the beat thing about all fascist martyrs? They can no longer commit daily, or hourly crimes against humanity.

@VisualStuart@pdx.social Always have, and always will.

A proper director for this horror movie would have had the jump scare closer to the midterms. Unless they have something bigger storyboarded.

If she can keep the neutered tom she has, and collect a few more mangy strays, the toxoplasma gondii lady might just ... Oh, I dunno, retreat to her pyramid to consider a felinocracy. Make herself Pharaoh for life.

I think it's spelt "craps". ... I just googled it. You were correct.
