#Apple50 Day 2

I HAD to go with my old friend Mac Pro today after Apple announced yesterday that the computer is being discontinued😢

Mac Pro Dual CPU 12 Core 2.66GHz (2010)

I’ve had this beast for 7 years. It sat one step below the top 2010 config at $4999. The 5,1 refresh added new Xeon options, updated ATI graphics, and SSD support. Mine runs a Radeon Pro WX 4100, upgraded WiFi/Bluetooth, and macOS Sequoia via OCLP. Still one of the fastest, most loved Mac towers.

Good night, sweet prince🥺

@gabriel I think the bigger problem though IMO, is "will people do shit".

What wasn't mentioned in the thread (because it focused on the RW aspect) was when Tumblr's userbase had their toys taken away, first with the 2018 porn ban and now today with the remaining users being some of the most caustic people online (and literal pedophiles, I'm not even making this part up).

While everyone spilled over to shit up Twitter and the rest of the internet, what isn't talked about is how none of them actually tried to "build your own" site. Even though the right did and got squashed over and over again or had to deal with life on ultra-hard mode (see: the state of KF right now), with Tumblr nobody tried or the alternatives have done worse than shit like Gab has.

No seriously. How is Pillowfort doing? Or Wafrn? Pillowfort is still "pay to sign up" and Wafrn is niche as shit in the fedi/bsky realm.

One of the biggest social media sites for a while literally got wiped off the face of the earth, has an audience where they had it on EASY MODE when it comes to the idea of "building your own site", and still couldn't do it.

Figuring out how to do more with less.

CSS is DOOMed!

I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

sigh..... i have to go see this movie now i guess.

Now it's time for the most important meal of the day: pizzabeer!

I think it was an intentional long-con. The hard-left/hard-right are like a quarter of the population or less. There are way more independent/libertarian/whatever in the middle. There are plenty of people who don't want Iraq Part II: The Iran Boogaloo. But fuck if they're going to stand next to pro-Biden people who want to allow hormones put in kids and mandatory experimental medication. On the other side, those people don't want "nazis" and "fascists" at their anti-war rallies either.

2016~2020 was one of the largest MKUltra-style experiments ever carried out against the world population. Even people who stand together against war can no longer stand together because of literally everything else.

The psyche of the world has been fragmented. It's a form of collective trauma that's separated the population in absolutist and totalist terms.

Think of the children nutters just won their first lawsuit against Facebook for not 'doing enough' to protect children (as if they had ANY obligation to do so in the first place!):

If you think Facebook is so dangerous because of a few bad apples then don't hand your kid an internet connected device and point them at Facebook. I've been on the internet since the internet came into existence and there have ALWAYS been bad apples on it. In fact BEFORE the internet there were also bad apples in the real world, on the school playground, and on BBSs.

The threat of the internet on children is so over exaggerated. While it's undoubtedly true you can setup fake 'child profiles' and get predators to send you inappropriate materials/messages and so on... it's hardly the typical experience. Minors are far more likely to get bullied by PEOPLE THEY ACTUALLY know from the offline when going online than be sexually harassed by the equivalent of creepy men driving 5 mph in white trucks without windows.

Statistically it's dad, mom, or someone in the family that's going to sexually abuse a child, not some creepy person on the internet.

And if the concern is algorithms... that's just pure fear mongering. There use to be this thing called parenting. If your kid was spending too much time watching TV you click the off button on the TV and told them to go play outside.

I hate to break it to you psychos who think it's always someone else's problem... but you can still tell a child no. You can still choose not to give your [at least actual children, teens will undoubtedly get around your stupid control freak parenting] 10 year old a cell phone.

To the 20 year old 'victim' take responsibility for your own choices, your 20 for christ sake.
