  • You’re getting paid to be available and respond if needed. That’s not something to feel bad about.

    Plenty of people have similar jobs like first responders and on-call agents in silent shifts where nothing ever happens. Your bosses probably know - they’re paying you anyway specifically because there’s always the possibility something happens and it’s cheaper and less risky to already have you there and ready. Just make sure you’re actually awake and available and you’re fine.

    I get the part about not wanting to feel judged for having an easy job, but at least your wife should know just for the sake of being honest.




  • Took a look, and there’s some neat new stuff there but it’s really just the LEP lights and some of the new keychain lights (like the rotating head ones) that are noticably different, many of the rest feel like more of the same (quite literally just more features in the same old flashlights, USB and side lights and display in everything now, even a few more with integrated fans).

    The Loop Gear does seem like it has an interesting combination of features, though (especially that batteries still are replacable). And might get a Zebralight headlight this time around (are they still the most efficient?) and the Wuben G5 looks neat too, alternatively that new Nitecore flat penlight…

    And for that matter, are there any more new lights with sliders/rings for control besides that Nitecore pen light?

















  • Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it’s all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic

    Domain or IP doesn’t make much of a difference. If somebody can block one they can block the other. The trick is not getting flagged. Domain does make it easier to administer though with stuff like dyndns, but then you also need to make sure eSNI is available (especially if it’s on hosting) and that you’re using encrypted DNS lookups
