rant 

how i hate people who can't shut up about it their "thing". do your thing and be quiet about it like some master of a trade just doing his profession, knowing he learns every day but never tries to over-sell his craft.

it's what makes e.g. openbsd look shitty to me, the people boasting all the time about it. openbsd is isn't shitty, but i very much don't like this type of people. the same goes for rust. probably nice ideas in it, but by dijkstra, the rust evangelism strike force is real.

The only way to fire the 1% effectively is to become a job creator rather than a job consumer. Civilization will thank you.

Back from the road.
Everything went well.
It costed about 15 bucks of gas and I'm on the reserve but I could only add 5 bucks.
Picture related, Gazole is at 1.627 the liter.
0.26417205 gallons cost 1.627 euros or 1,81USD.
If you wonder what's the 0.749, that's ethanol, which almost nobody uses here.

But you know, people who are always on the gas reserve and can add five buck can get a loan of 15K and buy an electric car.

"Zahlreiche Deutsche sahen die Todesmärsche, sahen die Gräueltaten und das Morden der SS und viele machten mit."

Ich bin im Gedenken und in der Trauer um die namenlose historische Entgleisung des Nationalsozialismus aufgewachsen und lebe darin bis heute. Doch inzwischen nennen wir auch spazieren gehende Gegner der C-Maßnahmen bekenntnishaft Nazis. Muss uns das nicht als Verharmlosung der Gräuel des Nationalsozialismus aufstoßen?

die haben echt keine ahnung was abgeht:

> Zu den Protesten von Impfgegnerinnen und Impfgegnern sagte Buyx: "Die Sorge vor den gesellschaftlichen Effekten ist eine wirklich wichtige." Man habe die Politikerinnen und Politiker "explizit dazu aufgerufen, möglichst solchen Frontstellungen, die da im Entstehen sind, entgegenzuwirken, so gut das möglich ist". Das müsse man sehr gut im Auge behalten.

da ist nichts "im entstehen". die fronten gibt es seit monaten.

> Um eine allgemeine Impfpflicht durchzusetzen seien empfindlichen Strafen denkbar, so der SPD-Politiker [Lauterbach]. Oder: "Eine Möglichkeit wäre, dass der Impfnachweis erbracht werden muss am Arbeitsplatz oder bei der Nutzung bestimmter Verkehrsmittel. Es wäre möglich, dass der Impfnachweis erbracht werden muss bei Arztbesuchen, in Kliniken und so weiter."

nachweis für den arztbesuch. dann geh ich halt nich zum arzt oder ins krankenhaus. verreck ich doch lieber als denen geld in den rachen zu werfen.

Centralized services, yeah.
I love not being able to write to the team leader in one project considering a book/notes/handbook (it hard to say what it is now tbh), because we communicate via Discord

Silly discussion of the day 

>we should have schematics and the source code of hardware that gets sold to the public
<but if they do that the chinese will copy it
>aren't the Chinese the ones who build them anyway ?
<Yeah but they can't maximize profit if they do so, that's part of how capitalism works
And this is what happens when you send your kids in business school.

what tends to happen in multicultural societies is that the minorities begin to seek power and influence, and when this begins to threaten the majority, all hell breaks loose.

multicultural societies are often unstable. and even if ethnicity doesn’t officially exist, a little bit of eavesdropping quickly reveals what people actually think.

if you leave people alone and don’t teach them political correctness, the end result is often the opposite. every culture started out as ethnocentric, often with a pronounced racism to go along with it. it’s a natural tendency and the west felt it was necessary to moderate it.

it’s easy to like the vision that internationalists have, but it rarely works out as expected. as with most ideologies, they work best if everybody got the note. they break down if no one is on the same page, and in the case of a multicultural society, no one is on the same page literally per definition.

“let’s gather peoples who have fundamental and often irreconcilable differences and try to unify them.”

think about religion: syncretism sounds great on paper. “as a compromise, let’s mix and match religious beliefs”. the problem is that you’re only creating another religion and you are now a heretic to everyone.

i don’t have any good solutions though. isolationism has some major drawbacks, so i don’t believe in that.

it’s interesting to note how popular it is to want to preserve the heritage of indigenous peoples yet also be an internationalist and social justice warrior.

in Norway, you need Sámi ancestors in order to register to vote in Sámi Parliament elections. in any other context, this would get labelled as ethnic discrimination, but since it’s indigenous people doing it, no one objects to it.

and if we are to preserve old cultures, should we also preserve any sexist and homophobic beliefs found in them? what about rituals that would be unacceptable to westerners?

and what are we to make of the idea of lands that are off limits for settlement by people who aren’t native?

a lot of this stuff is completely unacceptable if it comes out of a white person’s mouth, unless the audience is white nationalists, that is…

@camedei456 it's really interesting to see how little people understand the fringe internet cultures. as if spam threads would bother anyone. they probably _enjoy_ dadaist autogenerated stuff and find ways to make fun of it.

the audacity of the researchers is showing. it's this very "i know better than you" line of thought of the neo-liberal-left (no, those two aren't mutually exclusive) which is so despised.

so much money and time spend on bullshit "science" and "results":

> scraped the content of six /pol boards over more than six months, using custom Python coding.

we used beautifulsoup to scrape some websites.

> The textual and visual content of the boards was organised in a database that also included relevant metadata (date/time of posts, length of posts, etc). The analysis relied on a series of computer-assisted content analysis methods such as co-occurrence networks, correspondence analysis, or hyperlinks detection.

we used regexp copied from stackoverflow to detect links. also we discovered the len() function. then we inserted both to our mongodb hosted in the cloud. we probably didn't bother with setting a password or installing a firewall.

> Despite it being possible that the right-wing terrorists listed in the table below visited Tier 3 boards, engagement with these boards is minimal and the anecdotal data available from these cases indicates that the majority of their radicalisation happened on 8chan/pol.

we used anecdotal data.

> There are also practical concerns that should be considered before any counter-messaging campaign is proposed. For example, security practitioners should not underestimate how tech-savvy some of the users are. If the office IP address is not masked, the user base has shown themselves capable of determining that they are under surveillance or targeted by counter-narrative measures due to how a particular IP address is only posting suspicious messages during office hours.

1337-hAxXx0rZ notice timestamps and ip addresses even without using totally advanced python scripting!111

> One way to achieve this would be to regularly post content that looks genuine (using the right language, imagery, etc.) yet is meaningless – this would dilute the message of these boards and make their threads uninteresting, thereby reducing their attractiveness and sense of community.

that one will totally work aiweirdness.com
