If you have one week in Baton Rouge especially around Mardi Gras here is a locals guide to good eats, good parades, and good times.
Food:
George’s (11am-11pm) This restaurant/bar is the quintessential local bar, and like almost everywhere in Louisiana servers outstanding food. Many people who have moved from Baton Rouge make it the first and last place they eat when there at home. The Shrimp Po Boy is the best I have ever had, but you cant go wrong with anything on the menu.
Bet-R-Grocery (7am-9pm) Just down the street from George's Bet-R-Grocery is a local supermarket that has all the local Louisiana flavors, What stood them apart was the delicious Deli in the back. We stopped in for a quick breakfast and for $1.45 you wont get a better breakfast sandwich. There biscuits where so good and the Grits are super flavorful.
The Chimes (11am-2am) There are not enough words to explain how good this place is. Located just off the LCU campus, (there are two other locations), the atmosphere food and beer is hard to replicate. They probably make the best burger I have ever had and the fried pickles and alligator was super yummy too.
Louisiana Lagniappe (5:30pm-9pm) This was hands down the best meal I had on our trip. It is an upscale restaurant in Baton Rouge Absolutely delicious, wide variety of seafood, reasonable prices and excellent service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and return when I'm back in the area.
Raising Cain’s (10am-3am) If your coming home from a mardi gras parade or just want a quick bite Raising Cain's is a good choice. They are a typical fast food restaurant but where they shine is they specialize in just chicken fingers. You don't have a million choices on their menu just chicken fingers, fries or cole slaw.
Coffee Call (6am-2am) Last but not least you need to try beignets when your in Louisiana and my favorites where at Coffee Call. They have not only beignets but the easier to eat Belgium fingers, and much like Rasing Cain's they focus on making the best beignets.
Zeeland Street (7am-2pm) The locals place for breakfast. It's not fancy but everyone knows each other and food is great. In fact Zeeland family has owned it for ever.

Sites:
Louisiana “New” State Capitol (8am-4:30pm) The tallest state capitol in the United States the New Luisiana State Capitol is a must see attraction. Your tour here can be made even better is you study on the King Fish Governor Huey Long's assassination that took place in the second floor hall way. You can still see the bullet holes n the marble.
Louisiana “Old” State Capitol (10am-4pm) One of the coolest old building I have ever seen. It has been beautifully restored and the winding stair case and stain glass celling is breath taking. You have to watch the movie about the history of the capitol. With out giving away to much it was produced by Disney and will truly surprise you.

I tested the process below on Mac OS Mojave and it still works.

Network engineers on Windows have been using the lightweight and open source TFTPD32, for years But for those of us who have evolved and moved to the Mac we have found a couple short comings due to the increased security and sandboxing requirements set by apple. Luckily there’s a built in tftp daemon that you can use in a pinch if you know a couple little tricks.

Here is a link to another post for apple OS Sierra Sky579x.bligspot.com
By default tftpd uses the following folder:
By default tftpd uses the following folder:
/private/tftpboot
which is hidden in finder, but can be accessed by using “go to folder” or hitting Command+Shift+G and entering /private/tftpboot
To launch the daemon run the following commands:
sudo launchctl load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plistsudo launchctl start com.apple.tftpd
Be sure Read/Write/eXecute permissions are set on the tftpboot folder and any files you wish to transfer:
sudo chmod 777 /private/tftpbootsudo chmod 777 /private/tftpboot/*
If you’ll be transferring a file TO your TFTP server, the file will technically need to exist on the server beforehand so create it with touch. For example:
sudo touch /private/tftpboot/running-configsudo chmod 777 /private/tftpboot/running-config
To unload and shutdown your tftp daemon you can run the following command.
sudo launchctl unload -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist
If you’d like a graphical front end for launching tftp then check out the great TftpServer. I have found this application not as reliable so I have fallen back to using the built in TFTP server.
Now you can start transferring your files.
Happy TFTP'ng

The EFF works to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as our use of technology grows.
With recent events privacy and secure communications have become important technologies. The EFF has put together an excellent project called Surveillance Self-Defense. It outlines everything you need to know about how to protect your privacy online and offline. Not everything in this guide will apply to you. Luckily the EFF does a good job of explaining the threat model to help you choose what is important to you. Since this is a living document I am going to link to their site. I hope you enjoy it and can take something away that helps you secure your digital life.
