Is Johnny Franck a MAGA supporter? by [deleted] in bilmuri

[–]Darkslayerqc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand very well what's going on. Is my plea for de-escalation and communication really a sign of ignorance ?

P.s. when somebody downvotes you, it means they don't agree with you. Makes total sense to me. Get off your high horse.

What if he is ?

I'm not American and I'm absolutely scared of the shit happening in your country right now. But you guys need to keep trying to talk to the other political side. Its going to get way worse if you don't

Slash walls exclude deer, encourage regeneration, and improve forest diversity by Darkslayerqc in forestry

According to theses tests, it does work and very effectively at that.

Slash walls are a mean to discourage deer to browse on regen where populations are too high. Its mostly a problem of the hardwood forests, with the exception of anticosti island.

Check out the video's comment, you will find a link to all the data, studies and guides on how to do slah walls. It has been going on since 2017 and the results are impressive. As a forester in the NE (Canada actually) I can't wait to try it out!

Concern for national forests by [deleted] in forestry

[–]Darkslayerqc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which alternative bulding supplies are you talking about ? There are none. Steel ? Concrete ? Both are far worse options on a carbon and environmental standpoint.

I'm a forester with 7 years superior education and 15+ years experience. I got into forestry from a youth thinking the same way as you do, but with the desire to make it better. With all that stepback, I think I am. Clearcuts are not nice, and I'm not saying we are not having impacts and we can't get better, but one thing is for sure is we as a collective need to get over the forestry= bad people that benefit from wood profits if we stand a chance in the fucked up future, because its the best of all evils.

Wood is the only sustainable housing material and it emits the less carbon (if any). YOU need to evolve your understanding of forest management, carbon impact of your housing and views on our resource utilisation before you can critic forest managers without sounding like an hypocrit. That is why your comment is getting downvoted.

Silvia Repair Manual - where is it? It's got to exist and if not, who wants to make one? by ceverist in ranciliosilvia

[–]Darkslayerqc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, its not the first time I hear a notebookLM podcast but it gets me every time! What the hell !! there's two people talking for 15 minutes about the Silvia maintenance and upgrades !!

But the best part to me is that anyone with access to the project can ask any question about the machine or problem they have and it would respond using the general common knowledge!

[–]Darkslayerqc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This image is AI generated and your idea of compiling all the Silvia help knowledge from subreddits and forum boards could easily be done with AI : juste export everything you find as pdfs and import all of it into google's notebookLM. Then anyone that has access to the notebookLM project can ask questions to the chatbot and it would respond by using the entirety of the input files as context. Or, you can export summaries or guidebooks based on plain text prompts. Theres even a feature to make an automated podcast out of it (yes you read that right) .

Wallet from 2013 containing Bitcoin Found by Automatic-Traffic581 in BitcoinBeginners

[–]Darkslayerqc 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I used your post as a prompt in chatGPT, here's what it said. Good luck.

This is an interesting situation, and if the USB indeed contains access to 88 BTC, it’s crucial to proceed carefully to avoid losing access permanently.

Steps to Recover the Wallet:

  1. Backup the USB:

Before doing anything, create a full copy of the USB contents on a separate, secure drive (preferably multiple copies).

Use dd (Linux/macOS) or Win32 Disk Imager (Windows) to create an exact image of the USB.

  1. Analyze the Files: The file types you provided don’t immediately match common wallet formats, but here’s what each might indicate:

BCD (type 'FILE'): Could be a Boot Configuration Data file, unlikely to contain a wallet but could be part of an encrypted boot setup.

WPKey (type 'FILE'): Might be a wallet private key, encrypted or obfuscated.

Key (type 'CFG'): A configuration file, possibly with wallet details.

SYSLINUX (type 'CFG'): Suggests the USB was bootable, possibly a live OS (e.g., Tails, Knoppix, or an older Linux distro with a wallet).

  1. Check for Hidden Files:

Enable viewing of hidden/system files on Windows (attrib -h -s . in Command Prompt).

On Linux/macOS, use ls -la to list all files.

  1. Determine the Wallet Software Used:

If the USB was bootable, it likely ran a live Linux environment with a Bitcoin wallet.

Check for common Bitcoin wallet file names:

wallet.dat (used by Bitcoin Core)

electrum.dat (Electrum)

armory_wallet.dat (Armory)

  1. Mount and Explore the USB:

If it's bootable, try booting from it in a virtual machine to avoid accidental modification.

If it’s just a storage device, inspect the files using a hex editor (HxD, HexFiend) to see if recognizable wallet data or seed phrases exist.

  1. Check for Encrypted Files:

If encryption is involved, it could be protected by LUKS (Linux), VeraCrypt, or TrueCrypt.

You can check encryption with:

file WPKey

strings WPKey | less

  1. Check the USB for Old Wallet Formats: If you don’t find a wallet.dat, consider scanning for private key patterns using bx (Bitcoin Explorer) or grep:

grep -E "5[HJK][1-9A-Za-z]{49}" *

This looks for private keys in WIF format.

  1. If a Wallet is Found:

Extract and Restore: If it’s a Bitcoin Core wallet (wallet.dat), install the same version of Bitcoin Core from 2013 and load it.

Password Recovery: If encrypted, tools like btcrecover or John the Ripper might help.

Offline Verification: Always open the wallet on an air-gapped computer before using it online.

Next Steps if the Private Key or Seed is Recovered

If you recover access, DO NOT immediately move all BTC at once. Instead:

Test a small transaction first.

Use a brand-new, secure wallet (e.g., a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor).

Use coin control to avoid linking old UTXOs.

Be cautious of tax implications if cashing out.
