on: Find SF parking cops
Actually... those fees are outdated. It jumped to me because for the first time in years I got a fine for "parking on grades" - Somehow I was distracted and turned my wheels the opposite direction.
So I found the fees for July 2025[1]. My fine was $108 and not $68
But also they made errors in publishing their fees, they claimed it didn't increase this year, but it did [2] - and asked the AI to find all the other inconsistencies.
So now I wonder if I should ask for $40 back. That's a dramatic increase, and seems like the intent was it to stay at $68

I doubt clownstrike.lol is a legit website: I didn't get asked if I wanted to accept cookies.

Not on the list: "Oh, it's just my OCD" -- Either you have been diagnosed (and consequently suffer from OCD) or you have an obsessive personality (sometimes a quality).
But OCD is a diagnosis, abusing it do describe a personality trait doesn't serve the many many people impacted by the disorder.

You wouldn't know which packet reached its TTL just by flurry of ICMP packets received? i.e. what is the actual order of the path(s)

That's not my experience, validating the data has always worked by just spitting it back out to them without any alterations to the data.

I banged my head pretty hard on this recently, but afaict I have a working solution. I wish this had been better documented. One problem I faced is that I had to fiddle with Flask to make it work (Python user here). I'll post my setup somewhere tomorrow and comment back here.

I have been toying with the idea for a little while too. Distributed, open and safe where on the top of my list.
