U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, a 40-year-old, three-term congressman from Dallas who touts his pragmatism and his ability to work with colleagues from both sides of the aisle. Calm and measured, at times to the point of being bland, the civil rights attorney and former NFL linebacker is the establishment choice. He enjoys a sizable fund-raising edge over his opponents, touts big-name endorsements and holds a commanding lead in polls.

A little pre-season action to get ya primed and ready!

The Houston SaberCats had their away game watch parties here, and that was always a good time. But in all honesty the beer wasn't at the top of my list for local brews.

The 5-4 vote clears the way for Border Patrol agents to cut or clear out concertina wire that Texas has put along the banks of the Rio Grande to deter migrants from entering the U.S. illegally. Some migrants have been injured by the sharp wire and the Justice Department has argued the barrier impedes the U.S. government’s ability to patrol the border, including coming to the aid of migrants in need of help.

According to findings published Thursday morning by Emerson College Polling and Nexstar Media, the Republican incumbent is locked in a statistical tie with two Democratic challengers. Pollsters asked a group of 1,315 registered Texas voters during the period of Jan. 13-15 who they would support if Cruz ultimately faced either U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, or State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio.

The Department of Homeland Security warns it will – by the end of Wednesday – “refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate action and consider all other options available to restore Border Patrol’s access to the border” if Texas doesn’t confirm it will “cease and desist its efforts to block Border Patrol’s access in and around the Shelby Park area and remove all barriers to access to the U.S.-Mexico border,” the letter states.

I have a TP-Link Deco X55 Pro Mesh home Wifi, and it offers an isloated Guest Wifi network. There is a single DHCP pool for both the main and guest networks, so the DNS servers set in DHCP have to be reachable from both the main and guest networks. If I simply connect the Pi to my main network, and set DHCP to use its IP as primary and 1.1.1.1 as secondary, then I have to go and disable all the secure DNS settings in Chrome and Firefox and Android or they all ignore my local Pi DNS and use 1.1.1.1. The guest network is wifi only, so I configured the Pi's wpa_supplicant to connect to the guest wifi SSID. The wlan is connected, but it's only reachable from devices on the main network (which it should not be), and not by other devices on the guest network (which it should be). All devices on the main network can reach the wired lan interface just fine, as the should.

I'm a bit confused about the state of wlan configuration though:

baron@pi-1:~ $ sudo wpa_cli status verbose
Selected interface 'p2p-dev-wlan0'
wpa_state=DISCONNECTED
p2p_device_address=da:3a:dd:c3:02:e0
address=da:3a:dd:c3:02:e0
uuid=ec1c452b-43b7-5991-b133-24ebb761a051
baron@pi-1:~ $ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4163  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.68.76  netmask 255.255.252.0  broadcast 192.168.71.255
        inet6 fe80::27a:d770:dd35:568f  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20
        ether d8:3a:dd:c3:02:e0  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 138327  bytes 10181404 (9.7 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 1782  bytes 310865 (303.5 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

So even though my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf only has the SSID and PSK for the guest network, I can't actually confirm it via wpa_cli.

I kept scrolling past this one, but I stopped to watch Michael Palmisano's reaction video and it's a great cover.
