Not a demo necessarily but Miles In Transit - a delightfully nerdy public transit YouTuber - did a live stream playing the game early a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3RrlV9YrS4

Re:NetBox.dev: the source of truth for everything on your network

My group has been running netbox for a few months now and it's been useful for keeping track of departmental address allocations and half a dozen racks of equipment. One note we've learned though: either host it offsite or set up an access point/laptop that you know will let you access it during a local outage.

All the way back in a February 1994 QST article N6XMW proposed "the Wilderness Protocol", my theory is that both _could_ provide a group of people that are coordinated already a good basis to pick up but there just isn't enough coordination for random hams to use it.
The most successful system I've seen are areas with linked repeaters and good backcountry coverage have operators that are volunteering to keep the network monitored during most of the day[0]. Repeaters are always listening and can backhaul you to someone listening in a shack at home. Sure, it relies on a repeater network but it's slightly more likely than a stranger being near you also following the same protocol.

I'd think a contributing factor is production delays due to Coronavirus related supply-chain impacts and that it isn't just limited to freezers. Anecdotally, a HomeDepot sales person told me recently that Bosch dishwashers are backordered until February due to a interruption in bolt manufacturing.

Dark Tangent (created DEF CON) stated in the Welcome video that they chose Discord based on moderation and tooling built on its extensibility. Also that had stability under load; “gamers are pretty abusive”.

Great idea! Switching the model from idling in one channel to being in multiple groups at the same time is a good idea.
Do you have plans on releasing a binary for Linux?
Re:Submit Your Claim in the Equifax Breach Settlement

You think they would have learned since the breach. Right after the breach was disclosed they made their information page equifaxsecurity2017.com. It had the same prompt for last name and last digits of the visitor's SSN. Then just said something along the lines of ~"Thanks for the information, we'll have more details later".
Re:Hit by Ransomware Attack, Florida City Agrees to Pay Hackers $600k

If you pay a ransomware ransom, you can't be assured that they're no longer present on the network. There's the possibility that they ransom the firm again or cause further damage. The firm would have to run a full set of incident response regardless of paying the ransom or not.
I'm not saying that Baltimore is handling the situation correctly but there would be costs well above the x hundred thousand dollars the ransomers would be asking for either way.
