The LAPD Lied about Crime during the LA Fires
During the Palisades and Eaton fires, any Angeleno who turned on the news would be given something else to worry about: crime. We were bombarded with a 24/7 propaganda campaign about roving criminal gangs looting houses in the evacuation zone, a narrative that totally justifies the LAPD’s ballooning budget as the fire department’s dwindling budget is cut yet again.

My Pi Zero Setup
Pi Alert 
 
 

 Pi Alert continually scans your network and can alert you for new devices joining and devices going offline. This information is made available in a web interface and it’s light enough to run on the Pi Zero. 
 Unfortunately Pi Alert has no authentication whatsoever, presumably because it is only intended to be used on the same network, but we can fix that!…

 Flux (in the winter) - a time of introspection and looking within 
 Rux (in the summer) - a time of growth and new beginnings 
 
 It’s not tied to any specific month and sort of just goes by vibes. It’s been 80+ degrees where I live and I hung out with…

Python For Loops Are Cool
Let's look at a for loop in Javascript 
 for ( i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i ++ ){
 console . log ( i );
 }
 > 0 
 > 1 
 > 2 
 Now let's write that same loop in python 
 for i in range( 0 , 3 , 1 ):
 print(i)
 > 0 
 > 1 
 > 2 
 The range command is flexible 
 for i in range( 4 , - 4 , - 2 ):
 print(i)
 > 4 
 > 2 
 > 0 
 > - 2
