Trapped In America

Time to start being extra careful before tea time, Armenia.

Can confirm, I have 2 separate family members spewing this idiocy during visits. First it was that hurricane that shit on Georgia, Tennessee, etc. so “They” could shutdown a lithium mine or something (the people in the area want the mine, so that doesn’t even make sense). It also lead to them to falling for all weather modification conspiracies on Facebook and YouTube. So now it’s the floods out west… because “The Dems” want to make Texas look bad or something? I don’t even know anymore.

Also, dry ice. They seem to think dry ice allows you to steer storms and will show me very obvious fake videos where people are dumping it into the water themselves, then recording and pretending they caught The Man doing it. All of the ice blocks are still square btw, like it was just dumped into the water. They still fall for it.

Sounds like it’s time to bring back the tradition of tying dipshits to trees for 3-4 days. They’ll get the message.

“Anonymous” is a weird way to spell Ubisoft. JS.

COD4 and CS:S private servers… oh how I miss you both </3

It’s encryption has been broken for some time now, which leaves it vulnerable to some pretty serious security issues. On top of the obvious issue of people with the right know-how just listening to your calls and reading your texts, which you probably don’t want.

(It’s also how most cops/feds tap phones these days.)

Zoomed to the max Firefox will allow (500%). Not seeing anything other than some film grain with JPEG compression artifacts.

AI content usually starts to look more mosaic (random shapes clumped together) as you zoom, not grainy/compressed.

Google: We’re not secretly stealing data from your phone. We wouldn’t know how even if we wanted to, so stop being paranoid.

Also Google: We can detect when you and your neighbors phone start to shake at the same time. It’s completely unrelated though…

Seeing as TSMC is currently scaling up fab production in the US with their new fabs means they’re feeling that pressure and made the deal with the promise of US protecting them.

Context for anyone wondering: These new fabs will NOT being using their latest 2nm processes, but their 4nm FinFET process. Meaning we’ll still be reliant on Taiwan itself for their latest and greatest.

Anyone else wanna move to the hills and watch this dumpster fire of a country from a distance? I’ll bring the marshmallows…

Yeah, the whole connection to the Base bit feels off to me. Like it’s propaganda/recruiting material for actual Base members rather than proof of involvement.

It could be worse. He could have DESTROYED them. So they should count their blessings.

Hopefully this will work with Google TV too since it’s essentially just an Android TV rebrand for Chromecast. Some of them have decent hardware though, but are held back by the all of the Google bloat. Even using apps that allow adb on Google TVs you can’t fully remove it all without soft-bricking the TV.

I’ve tried setting Kodi up on a few TVs that I’ve fixed, then put them on a VLAN so they couldn’t go online, but could still access my NAS. And even with some having hardware support for AV1, anything over 4-5Mbps or so would cause them to drop frames and lag out. The HEVC support was a little better and will usually do 10-20Mbps+ before running into issues, which is plenty for most YarTube content. So I did a little more digging and noticed that the CPU was sitting at a constant 30%+ usage just doing background bloatware bullshit. So if we had a better UI option, it would open up a lot of cheaper $200-300 4K Google TVs that can stream from a NAS or Jellyfin/Plex server without needing to transcode. Since they have hardware support for basically everything.

They do look like Really Sweet Ramps™ though. You could probably clear 25-30 garbage cans if you used Jimmy’s Diamondback.

I’ve actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say… a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.

I’d run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I’ve seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.

Fun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran’s internet infrastructure… for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.

I’m not a CISCO tech, so I don’t know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol

A quick shortcut for this show if you go the torrent+VPN route…

Site: 1337x.to (USE AN ADBLOCKER!)

Search: South Park Q22 Joy

One of the top 5 results is a 70GB torrent with the first 21 seasons in it. All in 1 stop. Season 22 should be near it in the results as well.

There’s a few good options for the other 4 seasons (S23-S26) and specials there too. Vyndros and QxR are both very good encoders/groups.

I have a magnet on my fridge that the city used to give out, it has ALL of the local numbers on it. The thing is hella faded and probably a good 30+ years old now. I haven’t seen another one in years.

Because this is just a PR bust. All of the sites that are actually worth going after are all out of their jurisdiction and/or properly cover their asses (cloudflare, self-hosted reverse proxies, etc).

Gotta show The Boss-man something to justify their budget.
