Time to start blogging again. This is the reboot. Things are going to get… offensive. 😋
Moral and Ethical Consideration (3)
Moral and ethical consideration can only be given in degrees of reciprocity. That is, a rock cannot give any moral consideration to you when it falls on your head, and you cannot give any real moral consideration to that rock. Similarly, mosquitoes do what mosquitoes do, and if a mosquitoes bites you, it’s only being a mosquito.… Continue reading Moral and Ethical Consideration (3)
Moral and Ethical Consideration (2)
Moral or ethical consideration is spatially limited. (And moreover, limited by capacity or ability.) That is, the further away a consideration, the less weight is given to it. For example, should you be in a situation where someone is attacking another person unprovoked, you have a stronger duty to intervene and help the innocent victim.… Continue reading Moral and Ethical Consideration (2)
Ironically, Cloudflare goes full Nazi to censor Nazis and realises that they just went full Nazi
Cloudflare is one of the more important companies on the Internet. If you’re unfamiliar with their name, you’ve certainly seen the results of their services. In a recent event, Cloudflare dropped Daily Stormer as a client. If you’re unfamiliar with Daily Stormer, count yourself lucky. They’re full on Nazis. Or were. They’re offline now. (If… Continue reading Ironically, Cloudflare goes full Nazi to censor Nazis and realises that they just went full Nazi
Moral and Ethical Consideration (1)
Some things are outside of the scope of morality and/or ethics. When we ask questions about what is moral or ethical, we limit those questions to certain areas or topics or considerations.

My next few posts will go over some rather simple things — things that may or may not be controversial. I’ll be referring back to them along the way here and there. For the most part, they’ll… Continue reading My Aim is to Horrify You with Yourself
Soldering the wrong LEDs into the right fixture
I bought some LED bulbs and screwed up the size. Naturally, it’s impossible to find an adapter for the bulb here. (Yep – nowhere.) So, I have an E14 bulb and my fixture is E17 or “Intermediate”. I’m thinking, just, like, FFS… does everything need to be this hard? But then it’s just an opportunity… Continue reading Soldering the wrong LEDs into the right fixture
Can’t login using PowerShell to Raspberry Pi running Windows IoT [SOLVED]
I’ve seen a few people having problems using PowerShell to log into their Raspberry Pi 2 that’s running Windows IoT. If you’re here, you’re already frustrated, so here’s what worked for me… Restart WinRM using these 2 commands: net stop winrm net start winrm Next, instead of using the device name for your Raspberry Pi… Continue reading Can’t login using PowerShell to Raspberry Pi running Windows IoT [SOLVED]
Why I Support “Terrorism”
Please note that I said, “I support terrorism,” and not, “I support terrorists.” But you’re probably thinking, “This guy is a kook.” Give me 2 minutes to tease your intellect and curiosity a bit. Terrorism is the use of violence to achieve a political end. I am sure a few people will try to redefine… Continue reading Why I Support “Terrorism”
Receiving Australia Governor-General Bravery Medal
I was recently notified that I’m receiving a Bravery Medal from the Australian Governor-General for something I did a while back. The list of recipients is on this page (direct link to PDF). Today, I was contacted and interviewed by a news reporter from 7 News, Jackie Quist The clip was a lot shorter than the interview.… Continue reading Receiving Australia Governor-General Bravery Medal
