NIN has a DJ as an opener. Performing from behind the sound boards. No spotlight, no visuals. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Acoustics for the DJ are bad, echoing off the back of the arena out of sync, hopefully it will be corrected, but doubtful as gear is all staged and sound check missed it.

My PCjr forum is basically getting DDoS'ed by IP addresses that point back to Tencent. It looks like AI bots scraping everything.

I got tired of playing whack-a-mole and I restricted access to the site for anonymous users. The instructions for joining now have a blurb about the Tiananmen Square massacre just in the case the great firewall can help me. And I'm aggressively blocking large subnets.

Does anybody have good tools for blocking by ASN ?

@motoridersd That's basically what I've done so far. I used the tools ag bgp.he.net to get a list of IPv4 prefixes for the offending ASN, ran it through some filters, and generated iptables block commands from it.

The list is thousands of entries long so I simplified it by converting everything to /16s, which is blocking too much but at this point I'm tired of the whack-a-mole and I don't care.

in reply to mbbrutman

ugh yeah I'd do the same too. Probably easier to whitelist smaller subnets or /32s if needed but there's really no other way.

Psychopathic regime!

“ …judge … temporarily blocked…” Trump regime “…from deporting … Guatemalan children who … crossed the border without their families … the youngsters were loaded onto planes overnight and in violation of laws affording protections for migrant kids.”

Knowing Trump as a grifter conman I signed for his political emails in 2016 to see how he manipulated his cult.

Today has a glaring example of his gaslighting propaganda. A flat out lie! HE DID NOT ELIMINATE SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES. His big bullsh’t bill only has a temporary tax credit. Cult conned.

Vite vite, une autre mignonnerie.

On today's episode of #forgeposting with an actual bus, I made a punch so I can make holes of a variety of widths.

I had previously been using a cold chisel which was too small, I couldn't fully wrap my hand around it and even just pinching it had my hand too close to the hot metal which was no fun.

I had a big bolt from a truck that someone gave me, ideally I'd get something like an old drill bit which'd resist losing its temper from being driven in hot metal but oh well, it works.

AI NEWSWIRE: Stethoscope Detects Heart Disease In Seconds

THE TIMES OF LONDON: A new “smart” stethoscope powered by artificial intelligence can detect tiny differences in heartbeat and blood flow which are undetectable to the human ear.

Family doctors trialled the Eko Duo digital stethoscope, which listens to the heart and records an electrocardiogram (ECG) using an algorithm trained on a huge database of heart recordings to give a rapid diagnosis.....

This isn't AI. This is pattern recognition as you have stated. Computers have been doing this since their invention - it's what they do.


My @FreeCAD addon, "FusedFilamentDesign" has gained a new feature:

The "Auto Fillet" command automatically adds a fillet to each vertical edge of a part. This is a quick and easy way to improve printability of a design.

See docs for details: github.com/Rahix/FusedFilament…
