I really really hope that is a joke, and the precise mixture and production process for some kind of RAM has not been leaked on warthunder.

On the other hand, if it is has…

Then maybe aliexpress EMF paint is maybe worth actually trying.

Holy shit this world is so stupid.

I mean, yeah, I was gonna say… EMF paint exists.

It tends to be refferred to as, or as some component of RAM… radar absorbment material.

Yeah, every… stealth aircraft is more than just magic geometry, its also RAM that absorbs EMF and then presumably either thermally heats up or something?

That shit is unimaginably classified.

But yes, you’re right that basically any entity capable of wifi sensing your precise movements in a room, is also just gonna knock down your door.

They would be using the wifi sensing to determine that you are actually home, or something like that, as opposed to using a thermal camera or laser acoustics or something like that.

Pointless to ‘worry’ about it? Yeah probably, if they’re already going that far, you are probably already fucked more or less no matter what you do.

Good to be aware that it like… exists, though, in a more general, broad way.

Yeah I have no idea about anti EMF paint… if… that actually worked, that would be notable… I dunno, also possibly you could just fuck about with space blankets, mylar blankets.

They’re not that pricey, and worst case scenario, you now have some fairly effective emergency radiative insulation, if you need to bounce a lot of sunlight away from a window, to help keep a room cooler, or invert and wrap around yourself to keep you warmer, or keep internal heat from escaping through a window.

They may have some mild EMF blocking ability, I have no real idea.

And yeah, to a certain extent… you actually can make say, an at least partially EMF resistant bag or satchel or container by lining it with aluminum foil / chicken wire, potentially grounding the metal.

Lets just say I totally don’t know anything about how my friend used to shoplift way back in the day.

How exactly you’d construct an EMF ‘cloak’ is going to vary a lot based on what frequencies and just pure power levels you are worried about.

Making your room or house or a box able to be a black hole for… 5g, wifi, bluetooth… is going to be different than making it a black hole for say… the EM from a stratospheric or local nuclear explosion, or extreme CME from the sun (Carrington Event).

In a pinch, most microwave ovens are at least half decent faraday cages (no dont nuke the stuff in the microwave).

Also, its probably worth mentioning that uh, modern wifi itself works well enough as a way to at least … see if you are breathing, while you are sleeping, see if you are moving around in your room.

Hopefully I do not need to tell people that smart devices are bad and that you are much more likely to be precisely geolocated in a city not by triangulation of cell towers or even gps, but by which wifi routers, where, sense you.

If you are at all concerned with your privacy of movement, maybe just turn your cellphone off, or at least put in airplane mode, or turn off wifi and gps, when you dont need them.

Saves battery too lol!

The dangers of letting HR attend conventions… exist, ever attempt critical thinking, be trusted in any capacity with any task…

Yes, basically.

Benny is literally a known Russian asset.

Yeah that whole thing a while back that uh, ended up with Tim Pool and Dave Rubin getting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, from the Kremlin, through a shell company run by other rightoids in the US/Canada?

(Not sure if the actual front company was based in US or Can., but the rightoid couple that spearheaded it, one was a US Citizen, other Canadian, IIRC)

Anyway yeah, Benny Johnson was getting payouts from that too.

To be fair to the article, they do mention this, but a lot of people don’t actually read the article.

As best as I can tell, the Kremlin didn’t even give him specific talking points, same with Tim Pool, Dave Ruben.

They just threw money at them, to amplify their idiotic takes… which did not even need to be manicured.

Its the chaos hyperreality strategy; throw money at whoever is saying the most insane shit that is just already horrendously disconnected from reality.

Debian on the proper PC.

Bazzite on the Deck.

… of course with a Debian environment set up in DistroShelf for when I am spurred to futz with dev work on the Deck.

… I am an apocalypse oriented gamer / dev who hates Windows, by this video.

Uh… yep, yep, no notes really.

Ok so uh…

Step 1, secure a puke receptacle.

Step 2…

Yeah… yeah this is apparently a real book.

I am guessing it is mostly pictures.

Oh…kay grandpa, yes, neat hats, oh hey would you look at that!

Time for bed.

MSFT’s strategy is anti-documentation.

You want help?

Money Please!

(For clarity, I am being cheeky, but I am not joking.)

FOSS doesn’t mean “we think people that make software should work for free because we like free shit”.

What ingrained, unexamined immersion in capitalism does to a mofo.

There’s a difference between helping out people who are interested in, and capable of learning, improving, contributing to something…

… and people who just want thing work, and are also almost always unwilling to put literally any thought into this process.

‘User Support’ and ‘Collaborative Development’ are not the same thing.

There’s also ‘the computer guy’ syndrome, where a group of people just expect a seemingly infinite amount of uncompensated time and mental effort from ‘the computer guy’ to solve all their problems, who then take this for granted, and become hostile and offended when you tell them ‘sorry, don’t have the time’, when ‘the computer guy’ has the audacity to… want to do something else at that moment.

Oh I totally get where you are coming from, I could have written a good deal of that myself.

I’d offer you a hug if I could.

I completely agree that labels, words for boxes we put people in… should as additive, in a good way, as possible, descriptors, not restrictors.

But I also believe they should be accurate, and thus, we unfortunately still do live in a society, and we thus to at least some extent have to keep playing this word game.

I view a term like Autist simply as a matter of fact classifier, and while I won’t force others to, I more or less use it as a self label, when it is relevant to some discussion.

My approach is ‘take the word back’ so that Autism Speaks and idiots who think the measles vaccine gave their kid Autism aren’t the only morons using such words, proclaiming to represent me… us.

We can speak for ourselves actually, we’re not all a bunch of invalid r-tards, and whether or not we like it, we are an extremely misunderstood and at risk minority group in much of the world… if we let others do all the talking, we shouldn’t be surprised that they continue to get a lot of things very wrong.

Is there a ‘we are not the same’ meme for skilled at masking autists, vs narcissistic sociopaths?

Well I disagree strongly with your unorthodox definitions of neurotypical, neurodiverse and gay…

But I do generally agree that a lot of people and social norms stem from insecurity, an inability or unwillingness to actually examine things in detail, with consistency, to hold your own self or group to the standards you hold others to.

We also seem to have the same absurdist take on reality and meaning, so laugh and dance and do backflips as you push that boulder up that hill, hahah!

Oh I also would love to be able to just communicate directly with people, but yeah your fear is not irrational or unfounded, I’ve lost a good deal of acquaintances by just actually answering their questions instesd of telling them comforting lies.

A whole lot of people are really, really insecure snd fragile.

And before someone says it: No, I am not talking about being brutal toward someone who is showing obvious signs of emotional distress, obviously that is the time to be comforting, be a good listener, help people try to de escalate themselves.

…

I also just generally feel safer around other autists, I have gotten to the point where I am 99% sure I will never consider seriously dating another non autist again.

Perks of being a wallflower an autistic hermit:

I can do a really good job of sating my proverbial Sims Socialization meter by having precise conversations via text, over the internet… and then just occasionally strike up some chit chat with an actual human face that belongs to a rando at a bus stop or neighbor that also lives in my building.

Small talk is actually rather fun and easy when it isn’t mandated all the damn time, and you just avoid ‘high stakes’ topics, and it isn’t with someone whose opinion of you could basically destroy your life in some way if you unintentionally offend them.

See my other wall of text reply to your other comment, lol, I could go on for days with anecdotes of esoteric bs I’ve seen NT men do to signal things to other men and women, I totally agree this isn’t a sex/gender thing, its a neurotype thing that manifests differently in different sexes/genders.

Autistic guy here:

100% agree, tons of NT men do weird, esoteric, ‘interperet my strange, indirect dance of actions, and if you fail to understand what they mean, well you’re an asshole / a bitch / a tease’ type bullshit.

NT women of course do this as well, watching a couple recent compilations of women explaining that they are sending an extremely obvious flirting sign by literally holding eye contact with a person they are walking past for an actual quarter second longer than their own personal normal duration for this… has been uh, eye opening.

Like these girls would be irate, immensely frustrated that no one noticed this form of flirtation, no guy noticed that and then immediately asked for their digits… because this form of flirtation is apparently just extremely obvious and noticeable?

Everything would be about a million times easier if people just actually stated what they wanted… at least in concept… but the problem is that being that direct forces people to be honest with themselves, forces the possibility of a direct denial/rejection, and people tend to not like that.

The whole problem is that NTs all seem to think their specific weird actions are universally, easily understood to convey the same meaning to everyone, but other NTs will significantly disagree about these things when they bother to actually examine them in detail!

So its less that Autists ‘cant figure out social cues’ and more like ‘NTs can’t agree on social cues, but they all act like they do universally agree’… and then Autists are confused by this, because much of it actually is inconsistent and contradictory.

How to be a neurotypical:

1 - Have a somewhat societally common and shared, but also very unique and specific to yourself/particular social group, way of understanding and projecting tone, microexpressions, vocabulary choices, speech cadence, etc, with many distinct or uncommon idiosyncrasies.

2 - Assume everyone else on the planet has essentially the exact same way of seeing and performing all this as you do.

3 - Confidently interperet social cues incorrectly considerably more often than Autists, but be blissfully unaware of this, pathologize and shame the idea of asking for clarity and communicating in a direct, precise, and less ambiguous way.

… Autistic people consciously learn, process and evaluate how social cues actually work, and Autistic people also very much like logically consistent things that are not contradictory… so they are more likely to either be very rigid with one way of understanding something, or to.ask questions to clarify things that are not actually clear, consistent, universal, precise.

It thus takes them longer to learn how to adaquetly perform all this, aka, Masking.

Neurotypicals on the other hand learn, process and evaluate and perform social cues much more unconsciously, and they are far more likely to just assume their interpretation is correct, that their projected behaviors convey exactly what they think they do… despite the fact that if you sit a bunch of them down, they will all describe significant differences between their ways of understanding and performing mannerisms.

Essentially, they’re bullshitting it, but there are more bullshitters than non bullshitters, so bullshitting is the norm.

I am not running my own recursor, I am not scraping Reddit.

I have one browser that forces DNS over HTTPS and one that doesn’t, and the one that doesn’t, also I have yet to encounter this ‘security warning’ with.

???

Also to technically, how would this work?

It is early in the morning and I am too tired to posit a precise theory/explanation, but I also now realize I forgot to specify that my DoH setup is Oblivious DNS over HTTPS, ODoH… ie, all DNS requests and responses are routed via proxies.

So… basically, to Reddit, that may look like I am basically using a VPN, as there is no direct link from my actual IP to Reddit.

I have also been getting this, via forced DNS over HTTPS (DoH).

You know, a basic security procedure that keeps you safer and more private than 95% of VPNs?

Isn’t a problem on literally any other website, other than those so fucking old (or sketch) that they don’t even have an HTTPS capability.

When they’re saying ‘blocked by network security’, they mean ‘your connection is too secure for us to easily deanonymize you’.
