In a court of law... The court of public opinion is not how any justice system works. We feel like we deserve and need to know. And I would feel very vindicated to see what we all suspect. But my vindication will not give these victims justice.

    Early on in podcasting/vidcasting, you had two things going on. People coming from a professional media background (Leo Laporte, Adam Curry, etc.) who either had access to the high end broadcast equipment or bought what they knew. And then you had new podcasters who were on a near zero budget. Big mics had a lot more range for the money. It became symbolic even as equipment got smaller and cheaper. It became a sign that you're serious and legitimate.

    IANAL but if the chain of evidence isn't followed, I believe it can be thrown out if used in court. I want the documents too but the documents have to be useful for justice.

    I pay for the Nabu Casa subscription for remote access to Home Assistant. Mostly as a way to give them money for a great service, but it's convenient and felt pretty secure. It should be the only remote way into Home Assistant. About an hour ago I got a login attempt notice that an IP was trying to access API/config. The IP is in some bad IP databases. What I found interesting was that the log shows an AI bot. A Google Gemini bot specifically. Makes me worry that AI is going to make yet another aspect of life frustrating and unfun.
