Or just stay home in isolation, and again you won't need any sort of covid testing. Do remember to not give the man any excuse to come bother you...

[23:24:08] <exec> 08└─I worked for Directv as a software contractor right at the time AT&T bought them. The software on their cable box was interesting to say the least. It was basically a stripped down linux with a bunch of different user space daemons that ran the various services on the box. For instance the front pan...

[23:24:33] <exec> 08└─Yeah, I tried getting my mom to do (get an antenna). She doesn't live in a city, so the reception wasn't good enough to get many channels, and the endless-70s-reruns channel she likes is cable-only.
