rose are red, violets are blue, money is the reason we can't have nice things.

KillingTimeItself ,

IPv4 isn’t depreciated, it’s exhausted.

exhaustion probably also constitutes as "deprecated" once the utility of a system designed to be, well, useful no longer meets the usefulness quotient that it previously provided. Suddenly It's "deprecated technology"

KillingTimeItself ,

move providers? Where, to who? There is currently one provider where i live, soon potentially to be two. Though it's not finalized yet, nor constructed, so for all intents and purposes, it's just the one provider.

KillingTimeItself ,

it's y2k, but not 2k, it's just y.

KillingTimeItself ,

some super gigabrained chad linux nerd will have written a tool to automatically configure it and have open sourced it.

You could probably just use that. I think like most things in life, the answer is automation.

KillingTimeItself ,

so is there just no standard for renewal? Or are ISPs just refusing to use the standard, for whatever reason?

I can't imagine we don't already have a standard for this shit. I'd be baffled if we didn't. So surely it's just ISPs being their usual, useless selves.

KillingTimeItself ,

We’re constantly running out; but every fes years

critical difference here was also the consumption of oil. It's gone down significantly since then as processes have moved to other materials and more efficient methods of manufacturing, due to the price increase of oil. Likewise, our oil consumption has gone down, and our ability to extract it HAS gone up, just not all that much. The big difference is that there's just more oil that we know about now, than there used to be.

IPV4 addresses are a static pool, that never changes, the only thing that changes is the adoption of them, as certain things move to IPV6 they're still likely to hold IPV4 in some capacity, as IPV6 isn't fully rolled out almost anywhere.

KillingTimeItself ,

they don't mean quality as in nice. They mean quality as in it still exists.

Those wooden floor boards are probably still there, to this day. Still shitty, but there.

KillingTimeItself ,

I’m sure we can make our cars last just as long if we clamp the screws tighter and ensure no one can afford to buy a new car.

doubtful, if you look at the differences between a lot of soviet engineering and a lot of western engineering, the western engineering is often much nicer, but also rather temperamental in terms of long term maintenance. It's certainly possible, but it's just a different design meta. Especially if we're talking modern western equipment, which is designed to be "service life only"

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah there's a pretty good hack for this.

Stop having social media, if you are unable to look at it, you simply won't.

90% of your life is building an environment around you that incentivizes you to do the work that you need to do, not only to be productive, but also to be happy.

You'll be really fucking bored, but also find that you have other things to be doing, and then go do those instead, because they're more interesting.

KillingTimeItself ,

the best thing you can do is to spread word and knowledge.

There are likely other people out there that don't already know of the utility of IA.

KillingTimeItself ,

why does he look like the body horror renditions of cartoon characters that artists would do sometimes, for comedic effect.

This dude looks like fucking spongebob.

KillingTimeItself ,

brutal

i'll be ready to observe everything, and get a documented first hand account of fascism (assuming it happens)

Otherwise, i'll probably just shit and piss myself hoping nothing implodes. while staying very far away from the internet.

KillingTimeItself ,

This isn’t a fight we can run from. If the US falls to fascism, there’s a lot more damage we can expect around the world.

saying that it could be similar to germany during that one thing they did would be an understatement, considering how much bigger the US is, and how much more influence it has.

It would be global, if not near global. The only good thing would be the fact that china and russia exist, and exist in significant capacity to do something about it (though it's debatable that they would) oh and india.

I also do believe in our fellow man. Trump has plenty of supporters, but I honestly believe they’re outnumbered and endangered. This doesn’t make them less dangerous. Probably moreso tbh. And even though they’re outnumbered, the only way to truly push forward is to keep up the fight and not underestimate them. We need to be louder, fight harder, and make our voices heard when it counts. ie, vote.

it's important to remember that the right is incredibly fractured right now, every party in the right hates each other. Unless everyone somehow collectively agrees, they will likely deconstruct themselves in part.

KillingTimeItself ,

damn, ok first things first. Name checks out.

Second things second, someone here seems to be actively shitting and pissing in their pants, and i'm not quite sure who it is.

KillingTimeItself ,

can't wait for the inevitable surge of pregnancies, as people learn that that sperm doesn't just fucking disappear, and that it needs to be manually cleared first.

KillingTimeItself ,

there is only one opinion, all of the other opinions about everything else are wrong. Only this one is correct.

Don't worry, i won't tell you what opinion i'm talking about, because that would be another opinion, and it would be wrong, on account of the other one being the only correct one.

KillingTimeItself ,

if you just hate western companies, there's always yandex, supports more fringe contents as well, since russia moment.

KillingTimeItself ,

i love how canada will literally do a portland over hockey. But for every other forseeable happenstance, it's "uhm, yeah i think i might disagree actually"

you do you canada, don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

KillingTimeItself ,

people are pissing and shitting themselves over it because the government said so, and they want something to bitch about.

That's about it.

KillingTimeItself ,

i assume by disable they probably mean, something along the lines of irreversibly contaminating the whole of the assembly line.

I'd be curious to know how specifically they're going about this.

KillingTimeItself ,

i would assume it's intended to be irreversible, like contamination to the point of permanent dysfunction. Though im not sure how that would be possible, i assume it is.

KillingTimeItself ,

I rather the island be preserved for generations to come.

im assuming they mean scorched earth economically, not in terms of like, fauna.

The primary benefit of capturing territory is using it to make money. And generate products and goods/services.

KillingTimeItself ,

true, you could just blast the ever living shit out the circuitry, rendering it completely non functional. That's another good one for sensors and shit as well.

KillingTimeItself ,

they almost certainly have lightning prevention measures on those fab buildings. It'd be stupid for them not to, stupid to the tune of 10s of billions of dollars, and a global collapse of the chip market.

KillingTimeItself ,

i mostly asked because other people would almost certainly have better ideas.

Besides, if whatever they're doing wouldn't stand up to "being public knowledge" it's not a very sound plan lmao.

KillingTimeItself ,

well for one, it would take probably 10 or 20 years to get to that point in chinas domestic manufacturing. As well as geopolitical situation.

They would have very little reason to invade taiwan at that point. So they probably wouldn't.

And to foil your plan a little bit, the US has spent billions of dollars in recent years constructing new TSMC and i believe intel fabs in america, there's a big one in arizona. And idk where the other one is off the top of my head. But we're already chinas biggest competition in that regard.

KillingTimeItself ,

domestically in the US? We're literally already doing that.

KillingTimeItself ,

servers generally aren't a fan of high temperatures, and soot. So yeah, that would make sense.

KillingTimeItself ,

you asked where, not how, when, or to what level.

KillingTimeItself ,

i guess but even then it would still have massive political implications, including the US, which is incredibly messy. And taiwan itself wouldn't be very happy about it.

Extrinsic factors are the most important ones for this kind of stuff, it's why the vietnam war failed for us.

KillingTimeItself ,

As it stands, China is the majority manufacturer of semiconductors - responsible for more than half of all chips produced - because they’re building foundries far faster and at higher quality than their American peers at Intel.

the reason why they produce half of all semi conductors, probably has more to do with the type of semi conductors they produce, mainly IC chips. As opposed to things like CPUs and GPUs, they've only recently started getting into that space. The intels and TSMCs of the world produce highly optimized designs and fab processes specifically for things like CPUs and GPUs.

A chip with 8 and gates on it is probably vastly easier to produce than an 8088 cpu, for example.

KillingTimeItself ,

i wonder if this also includes trying to physically damage the machinery in order to ensure one hell of a time getting it back online, because theoretically once you wipe it, you can just start smashing shit together that shouldn't be smashed together lol.

KillingTimeItself ,

no, you're thinking about it wrong. The whole point of a doomsday machine is useless if it's countered by simply being known about.

China knowing how TSMC has their delete key working, shouldn't make a fucking difference, on whether or not it works. If it does, it's not a very good delete key, because china probably already knows how it works, as well as the US.

KillingTimeItself ,

thermites a good one, not quite instantaneous, but still pretty good.

Would certainly be a good counter for hardware.

KillingTimeItself ,

this is, decent. The problem here is that it's almost always easier to reverse engineer a system that's partially constructed, than it is one that's completely deconstructed.

You would ideally want to delete ALL software, and ALL hardware running that software, that would be MUCH harder to reverse engineer. Or at the very least, significantly more expensive.

although i imagine building chips to fail is almost an impossible thing. Cpus almost never die, unless you blow them up with too much power lol.

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah but that's the problem though. It shouldn't matter, why do you think the US is public about where it's nuclear reactors are located?

Why do you think every country with nuclear weapons is open about having them? It's not because it's a detriment if others know about it, it's a detriment if others have them.

China knowing about it merely makes it a MAD system. China knowing how it works would ensure that it's almost impossible for them to actually take over the plant, assuming TSMC isn't hiring idiots to run opsec.

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah, and they've released a couple gpus recently, all of which have been about 10 years behind in technology, and CPUs, domestically manufactured ones, are about 1-2 decades behind. Excluding intels domestic chinese cpus.

KillingTimeItself ,

probably, i'm just repeating standard rules of security practice though. If it's only secure because someone doesn't know about it. It's not secure.

I highly doubt TSMC is doing anything less than the state of the art practices with regards to this problem.

KillingTimeItself ,

for some reason the US seems to hold a weird position on this one. I don't really understand it.

It's written to be illegal, but if you look at prosecution cases, i think there have been only a handful of charged cases. The prominent ones which also include relevant previous offenses, or worse.

It's also interesting when you consider that there are almost definitely large image boards hosted in the US that host what could be constituted as "cartoon CSAM" notably e621, i'd have to verify their hosting location, but i believe they're in the US. And so far i don't believe they've ever had any issues with it. And i'm sure there are other good examples as well.

I suppose you could argue they're exempt on the publisher rules. But these sites don't moderate against these images, generally. And i feel like this would be the rare exception where it wouldnt be applicable.

The law is fucking weird dude. There is a massive disconnect between what we should be seeing, and what we are seeing. I assume because the authorities who moderate this shit almost exclusively go after real CSAM, on account of it actually being a literal offense, as opposed to drawn CSAM, being a proxy offense.

KillingTimeItself ,

It seems to me to be a lesser charge. A net that catches a larger population and they can then go fishing for bigger fish to make the prosecutor look good. Or as I’ve heard from others, it is used to simplify prosecution. PedoAnon can’t argue “it’s a deepfake, not a real kid” to the SWAT team.

ah that could be a possibility as well. Just ensuring reasonable flexibility in prosecution so you can be sure of what you get.

KillingTimeItself ,

of course linus torvalds doesn't believe in cryptographic security, have you seen the man talk about other peoples ability to write C?

You think this man considers writing insecure code? That's blasphemy!

remember kids, crypto just refers to cryptography, more broadly in the act of practice.

KillingTimeItself ,

i'm smoking the definition of the word.

KillingTimeItself ,

companies will make them, it's just capitalism. It's a question of whether or not people will buy them.

Companies are already making "dumb phones" go buy one if you want one.

KillingTimeItself ,

you already are smh, you just don't know it!

KillingTimeItself ,

so normal onset dementia, but the early stages.
