holy crap my #GAGSProject VPS has barely been up for two days and I’ve never publicly shared the address and yet it’s been hit by so many different vulnerability scanners
I just set up fail2ban which will hopefully get them to leave me alone
also I’m almost ready to open up GAGS for everyone to use! I just want to have some of my friends check it for security issues first
Every location discovered, every viewpoint done, every location complete.
Of the non-major targets (all the extra circles of targets beyond the main villains), only 2 remain to be dealt with. Both of them are members of the Winter Raiders (pain in the arse season change mechanic).
Only 3 core targets remaining, with likely one or two surprise targets to appear after this.
Hideout is almost fully upgraded (even though I have fully upgraded every building, and built every building I can).
I'm up to the 3rd Project for the modern day plotline and all of my suspicions have been confirmed (though I still have that little bit of hope that they'll pull something off in the last bit of the storyline to get me interested again).
My current thoughts on the game (that may change with new information, DLC, etc), are that it's the weakest and worst of the modern set of games.
Fantastic characters, but we don't get to learn much about them.
Beautiful world, wonderful weather engine, love the fabric physics...but it's empty, devoid of any life or interest after you've completed the first region.
The game feels hollow, like they stripped out everything that actually makes an Assassin's Creed game, and just kept the skin.
Really, genuinely, hoping they pull something at the last minute to make me rethink everything I've just said, but very much not setting my hopes high.
won't lie it feels pretty bad to see the number one complaints being raised against fedi on bluesky being shitty moderation of queer instances and surprise defederations due to impossible to follow admin beefing and be like, yup, all of this is accurate don't know what to tell you really
i don't blame anyone for choosing to stay where they are until absolutely forced to move, all that bullshit really did affect my mental health until i could get shit together to self host and not have to worry about it so much. that's not an option for most people though!
i mean yeah if you were on bluesky and you migrated to some shit like transfem dot social because "it must be friendly to transfems!!" you're having your brain thrown into a tumble dryer
i feel like the joy of being a trans woman is that all of our community’s problems come with “helpful opinions” from everyone and their dog that seem purposefully made to split us apart
Not a lot of competition but honestly Batman Returns is probably my favorite SNES beat-em-up. The controls and mechanics all feel right. The enemies are really mean and aggressive but Batman can chuck batarangs for free to open them up with a stun AND he has a shmup bomb, so it plays differently but the different ideas work together. The bosses are all kind of a zany mix of action game pattern memorization and the usual sort of "approach from the Z-axis and do the usual infinite." I've beaten it a couple times and still want to keep goofing off and replaying and trying to do a clean 1cc. There's some cheap bits here and there though so maybe I'll hate it when I try for that and have to seriously grapple with them

Okii, migration done as far as I can tell, though it doesn't look like my follows/following quite survived as much as they probly should have. Presumed woops If you thought you were following me already from my Kitsuclub account, give it a quick check again, and I have a bunch of follow reqs sent out. Appreciated, thankies~!
Having seen the effect of urban planning on temperature and the fact that we're increasingly heading towards hotter summers, we need to urgently rethink public spaces. And having seen that artificial shadows are not as good as the work of trees, it's clear that we need to promote tree-lined areas. Shadows "just" prevent the sunlight from passing through, but trees, in addition to blocking the sun they cool the environment.

The primary and possibly the only step demotivating me from contacting my MEP (or more specifically the premier since the council is made of the heads of the executive branches of each member) is the fact that there are elections about 2 weeks before the deadline. Elections in which populists are heading for a comfy victory and will happily form a coalition with Brown Nazis and Red Nazis just out of principle. A cherry on top is that the upcoming shitstorm is extremely close to a lower house supermajority (capable of constitutional amendments). So doing this, while a good thing, is like pouring a bucket of saltwater into the sea. At least in my case.
And all the roads jam up with credit And there's nothing you can do It's all just bits of paper flying away from you Oh look out world, take a good look What comes down here You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

I've lost my job recently. It happened after having my hours nearly cut in half, which meant only half the money last month.
I honestly thought it was just my boss having a scheduling trouble because a lot had happened a month prior, and it was chaotic, but no, they just fired me. Bastards. It was a standard layoff, too. Just because they felt like it. No notice, too. Just learnt I don't have a job one day.
So, I'm looking for a new room to rent, so I spend less to house myself and I'm searching for a new job -- any job, really -- to keep me afloat during this. But I'm having terrible luck, or maybe the job market is just scuffed? Can't tell for sure. The room searching isn't good, either. All the guys want to rent it for a full year, which is like, crazy.
And the real culprit is, you know, that the payday is on the 8th of the month, and right now, I've got something like 320 PLN, which is an equivalent of roughly $90. So it's not good.
It's not that I'm panicking -- I can't afford to -- but the situation could be much better. If you helped. So please, help if you can. Because that would make a difference.
Right now, I woke up at night and can't fall back asleep because all this.

When discovering the ins and outs of #Amiga hardware during late 80s I learnt about the custom co-processors inside the Amiga: • The Blitter – A coprocessor having ability to copy rectangular blocks of memory around while applying bit-logic operations on them and to draw lines. • The Copper – A general purpose coprocessor synchronized to display beam position, able to control most of the other custom hardware, such as sprites, color palette, display properties and control the Blitter.
Even though the Blitter can perform only a limited set of logical operations on bit-level, the operations can be combined to perform more complicated logic. Tomas Rokicki demonstrated Conway’s Game Of Life by employing the Blitter already back in 1986.
Since Game of Life is Turing complete, if I could make it run without any CPU control it’d also mean that the amiga chipset itself would be (granted this has been known to be the case for a long time already). This required controlling the necessary blit operations entirely from the Copper alone, something I already knew was feasible: I would only need to build a Copper program that would trigger the necessary blit operations in sequence. If the setup was done correctly, I could just let the copper list run while the CPU would be idling. Eventually I managed to get this working after dealing with all kinds of Blitter programming woes, such as coming up with the correct barrel shift register values for -1 and +1 cell fetch operations. This is a limited case of Turing Completeness as the total memory size is limited, also limiting the complexity of the system that could be emulated.
Having a Game Of Life running entirely with the Copper and the Blitter alone was all nice as such, but I could make it even more fancy by entirely wiping all CPU instructions from the memory after the setup had been done and stopping the CPU execution. I implemented this by copying section of the code inside one of the temporary buffers used by the Game Of Life blits and jumping to this code. The code would wipe all other system memory to zero, enable the DMA to start up the Copper, and finally execute “stop #$2000” instruction to indefinitely stop the CPU. The first iteration the Game Of Life would then wipe the remaining CPU instructions, entirely erasing last remnants of the 68000 code from RAM. I believe this method was used by some of the copy protections in some #Amiga games (Dragon's Lair is often mentioned).
Having successfully implemented the Game of Life I was already quite pleased with myself. Yet, I felt that there was more that could be done to spice things up. The copper list was static and only repeating the same program indefinitely after all. But what if I would use the Blitter to rewrite part of the copper program itself? That is: Maybe I could build a feedback loop where the Blitter would modify the Copper programming, building more complicated self-contained dynamic programs?
After tinkering around for few hours I came up with basic control blocks that are necessary to implement self-modifying Copper programs in practice. The minimal primitive consists of: • Setting up the Blitter copy operation of 2+n*4 bytes • Set the blit target address to the position where the lower 16-bits of the source address for this blit are set, and then n*4 bytes of arbitrary Copper instruction payload • Execute the blit operation and wait for it to complete
This will update the Copper code in a way that on next display update the n payload Copper instructions piggybacked by the blit operation will get executed. The source address is used to chain together sequence of payloads with the last one of them pointing back to the beginning of the chain. In short, rather than actually diverging the path of execution of the Copper it dynamically modifies fixed section(s) of the Copper instruction flow for each screen refresh effectively resulting in different Copper instructions getting executed on each iteration. While it would also be possible to modify the “program counter” address of the Copper itself but this requires more code, and is less flexible.
I used this construct to create two separate repeating loops: • Background color cycle of 24 different colors in an RYB color wheel. • Displaying animated sprite with 8 different frames.
This is rather naïve use case for the capability however. Since the Blitter can do logic operations you could easily store higher level logic and conditional execution controlled by the Blitter source. In effect this demonstrates second means of achieving Turing Completeness.
I had always wondered if something like this could be pulled off. Now I know for sure.

DeSantis should sue Newsom and CA over this murder. It would be fun to watch what happens. thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/b… As The Gateway Pundit reported, an illegal alien, who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week. The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an insane U-turn directly in front of a car to his left on Florida’s Turnpike. The animal showed zero emotion after he exited the 18-wheeler and examined what was left of the vehicle – a pile of mangled metal and three dead bodies. The White House press office responded to the incident on X, "This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead..."
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office attempted to deflect blame from the Democrats in light of one of their illegal constituents killing three innocent Americans and accidentally admitted that the sanctuary state of California is wholl…
Why can't the fed regulate CDLs used interstate under the commerce clause and penalize state officers who issue them in violation of any such federal law?
Should be a federal regulation against it. But then the DMV niggers just start issuing licenses to illegals for a fee and make big money. Several examples of those fks getting busted lately.
In breve, guidati dalla Danimarca, molti stati membri dell’UE sostengono la necessità di obbligare WhatsApp/Signal/ecc. a ispezionare tutte le nostre foto e i nostri link, utilizzando l’intelligenza artificiale (IA). Se l’IA ha qualche “dubbio” che si tratti di pedopornografia, la tua foto, posizione, numero di telefono e altri dettagli vengono segnalati a Europol e a una forza di polizia locale: berthub.eu/articles/posts/chat…
Gaza hospitals report dozens killed and hundreds wounded in the past 24 hours, as the death toll nears 62,000, and famine-related deaths, including children, continue to rise.
The occupation is expanding its destruction in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, issuing warnings to the areas of “Asqula” and its surroundings. People are being displaced at this very moment, at night, in a tragic scene! The occupation is destroying Gaza City and reducing it to ashes in silence, using a new method described as “silent erosion” @palestine #gazaunderattack #gaza #StopGenocide #war #genocide
En resumen: bajo el liderazgo de Dinamarca, muchos países de la Unión Europea quieren obligar a las compañías de mensajería como WhatsApp o Signal a inspeccionar todas nuestras fotos y enlaces con ayuda de inteligencia artificial (IA). Si la IA tiene la mínima duda de que pueda tratarse de material relacionado con abuso infantil, se enviarán a Europol y a la policía local tu foto, la ubicación, tu número de teléfono y otros datos personales. berthub.eu/articles/posts/chat…
En bref, sous l’impulsion du Danemark, de nombreux États membres de l’UE demandent que les messageries comme WhatsApp/Signal/etc. soient contraintes d’inspecter toutes nos photos et tous nos liens en utilisant de l’IA. Si l’IA a le moindre “doute” quant à la possibilité qu’il s’agisse de pédopornographie, votre photo, votre localisation, votre numéro de téléphone ainsi que d’autres détails sont signalés à Europol et aux forces de police locales. - berthub.eu/articles/posts/chat…
Die deutsche Regierung scheint ernsthaft darüber nachzudenken, das amerikanische WhatsApp zu zwingen, all unsere Fotos und Links mit KI zu durchsuchen. Dann werden wir bei Europol und der Polizei gemeldet, wenn die KI auch nur ansatzweise "denkt", dass es Kinderpornografie sein könnte. Sorry, aber das ist echt ein völlig irrer Plan: berthub.eu/articles/posts/chat…
Kurz zusammengefasst: Unter der Führung Dänemarks fordern viele EU-Mitgliedsstaaten, WhatsApp, Signal und co dazu zu zwingen, dass alle darüber versendeten Fotos und Links mit KI durchsucht werden.

After attempt number 2, the wasp nest under my shed is gone, and I can finally get to my bike again. I felt bad — as I always do — seeing all their little corpses everywhere. I know it was going to happen eventually regardless, and most people wouldn't bat an eye, but it felt so shitty that I had to basically commit wasp genocide just so I could ride my bike.
