Heh, fortunately one pair of shoes in my shoe collection aren't purple. They are a dark fuchsia. So I'm not gay.

Did you get a raise?

I have a Bluetooth controlled vibrator. Reverse engineered the app (which has a chat function) and it has a blacklist of words (mainly Chinese) you're not allowed to text using the app.

I did not check if your horny chat gets copied to Chinese spy agencies, but I suspect that will be done on the server.

From what I can see from an EU perspective: The training you get to become an officer in the US seems to vary a lot between places. That explains lot of differences.

Also it's quite short IMO. Here in Germany it takes 2 1/2 years to become a policeman, 6 Months of these as a trainee. And still we have a number of problems.

I was once calling the police because there was a guy screaming loudly in front of my apartment building.

He was not threatening, just really confused, was obviously looking for his home, I had the impression he was autistic or on some kind of spectrum and it was below -5C - cold enough that it's really dangerous to fall asleep outside.

I called the police because I thought he just needed help and someone to look after him to take him home.

Yes, I do trust police in my country.

Because behind the carrier grade NAT I don't get a routable IPV4 at all, so no inbound connections.

With the IPV4 I use I do use dyndns now, so I can resolve it from outside.

IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.

As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.

So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.

It's so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.

No, but I have a device with a LCD display where I can look it up

There's another trick - checking against street maps. When you walk/drive/ride around a corner the phone can use it's inaccurate GPS reading and update it according to where the corner is. Of course it doesn't use ONE corner. to fully update your position, it just nudges the position a bit closer.

In case you are navigating a lot of street corners, after a time an inaccurate GPS position will be corrected.

There's even more input to the algorithm (location of known WIFI Hotspots for example etc) and they are all combined with a "Kalman filter".
