    Epic Games Just Decided People Didn't Hate Them Enough

    Hello, While this is quite disheartening, I have strong hope for a wide set of multiplayer games that heavily relied on their "online only" functionality. A variety of communities have been able to create their own server infrastructure through careful reverse engineering and downright theft...

    An Overview of Tier One US Military Groups

    Watched the video. I am not sure I like his voice changer thing, but it is pretty for bare information. At least he doesn't put the sort of mysticism into it that a lot of people do. Surprised that AWG was not on the list, although they sadly went defunct recently.

    Bus Kill

    Hello, I can understand the adversity to windows. Windows 8.1, 10, and 11 all have very similar winapi changes with minimal, if any, differences. Whatever application would come as a result of this would likely work on all of them. I only focus on windows because something like this would be...

    Bus Kill

    Hello, Thank you, but hold your praise. Going to be working on a version that could work in windows here soon, we will see how my winapi skills have aged. Since veracrypt hidden OS type volumes really only function on windows, this will be the primary target.

    Bus Kill

    Hello, I am not sure about windows, but in linux the status of the power cable is tracked in a file accessible on the computer itself. This is found in the file "/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online". It seems pretty easy to poll. Here is some boilerplate code I cooked up while bored that seems...

    Bus Kill

    Hello, I am not sure how windows exposes the battery status in winapi but the former idea sounds doable, and uses hardware that would not be suspicious in any manner. No need for plausibly deniable hardware. I am also unsure of how to access winapi calls through python, generally c++ is more...

    Bus Kill

    Hello all, Recently I was browsing the internet in Internet Explorer and found this interesting piece of fringe technology on my RSS feed! https://github.com/BusKill/buskill-app Its an interesting concept. A USB drive that is attached to you and the computer, with a magnetic break-away in...

    Disney begins phasing out physical media down under

    Hello, Not surprised. These days no one has any interest in physical media. I some days get the urge to burn pirated films onto cd spools and hand them out at random on the street claiming that it is my mixtape. Not even pornography shops distribute old style disks and VHS tapes, very...

    The Problems with Lemmy

    ahhhh its activity pub, the newer version of the fedi protocol. I am all for the gnu/social network but I agree that it probably isn't the best format for forums. Although it might be nice to do something like what kiwifarms did with a pleroma instance, at best it would be a novelty in all...

    We Will No Longer Be Actively Supporting Chromium-Based Browsers

    Hello, It takes one to know one, and trust me I know one. Moonchild, AKA M.C. Straver, AKA WolfBeast has quite an impressive collection (warning, hyperlink redirects to content which violates the Lockheed Martin Code of Conduct™, view outside of workspace). Yours, James Taiclet

    On the Ethics of Gunrunning/Arms Trafficking

    I am going to drop my dumb bit here to talk about this. As a topic I actually have some experience in (although minor), I've had a lot of time to think about this. Small arms import/export is a pretty strange industry in itself. A lot of people view the act itself as morally reprehensible...

    Do any of you know any fictional languages?

    Hello, Would you argue that "programming" languages are fictional? Since they are an entirely artificial lexicon created by humans, they would fit the definition of "fictional," since they have never been spoken by a real group of humans. It even contains the first instance of translation...

    We Will No Longer Be Actively Supporting Chromium-Based Browsers

    Hello, Many of our employees openly support and recommend the use of the Palemoon web browser. On top of giving the feeling of "taking it in the ass" many report to me that it is operated and maintained by a "really hot" furry of homosexual persuasion who goes by the moniker of "Moonchild."...

    We Will No Longer Be Actively Supporting Chromium-Based Browsers

    Hello, I will be personally ordering the removal of the Chrome web browser as well as other Chromium based browsers such as Brave and Microsoft™ Edge™ effective immediately. Such removals of common browsers should not be a huge issue. Unknown to many, Lockheed Martin's official browser is...
