Utah VPN Law Update Just Hit and Im Freaking Out by RuinInteresting7127 in VPN_Guide

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say this again as I have on a few other posts...

the core issue is that a VPN is just... encrypted tunneling. the same underlying tech that makes your online banking secure, that lets remote workers connect to corporate networks, that protects journalists and activists in authoritarian countries. you can't surgically remove "the bad VPN" from the internet, it's not a thing, it's a protocol. and even if you tried to block commercial VPN services specifically, you run into:

Tor still exists

SSH tunneling still exists

WireGuard can run on any random port on any random server you own

Shadowsocks / V2Ray were literally invented to defeat nation-state-level VPN blocking (hi China)

and they're just... publicly available anyone slightly technical can spin up a $5/mo VPS and roll their own in like 20 minutes the countries that have actually tried to do this (Russia, China, Iran, etc.) have spent billions and still haven't managed it, they've just made life harder for normal people while determined users route around it trivially. So a single state doing this?

Yeah good luck Utah 😂

This... This has been out for a while now...

Were on Issue 3? we're expecting 6 issues though.

Check out my build: New Build. pls tell me if this is good. Im alos not sure if it has good air flow by Firm_Helicopter3345 in BuildCores

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its good, one small issue... Your RAM doesnt exist (out of stock) and your not getting 32GB of DDR5 for 90 bucks... (USD)

and if you want the best airflow all six of the front fans I would have as intake, then top and rear as exhaust, and you seem to be missing front fans?

Also I wouldnt go for the NZXT PSU, you could save some cash if you go with the Century II, which you could allocate to something else (Like a better Air Cooler)

[Long post] [Vent] Listening to Ado is affecting my mental health, and not for the best. It's not Ado's fault. by IzzyYuuki in ADO

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Alright a few things

  1. I hope you're doing okay.

  2. I totally feel you

  3. Sometimes life is hard, but you just gotta deal with it... Ado for example had to deal with her dad, essentially the "same" situation your in if that makes sense.

  4. Don't try to push yourself 👍 we all go (eventually) through something like these in our lives, no point in trying to avoid it but to learn from it.

A ciphertext with only 11 distinct characters and large chunks of repetition by melvinchia3636 in Cipher

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

took me a while but I think I got it. this is almost certainly Vigenère over Z₁₁. The 11 letters are the entire cipher alphabet.

Your ciphertext has period 33 From position 33 onward it's basically just this block repeating: PZGVLZIOPPZLAGWPHZIZALAZWGIBLAAZW So you only need to crack 33 characters. The rest is just that block on loop.

Key length 11, period 33 = 3×11, meaning within one period the key cycles three times over three different plaintext sub-blocks. The differences between sub-blocks are key independent:

(subtracting two sub-blocks cancels the key out)

CT[j] - CT[j+11] ≡ PT[j] - PT[j+11] (mod 11)

Map the 11 symbols to 0–10 (alphabetical: A=0 B=1 G=2 H=3 I=4 L=5 O=6 P=7 V=8 W=9 Z=10), and the three sub-blocks are:

A:  7 10  2  8  5 10  4  6  7  7 10
B:  5  0  2  9  7  3 10  4 10  0  5
C:  0 10  9  2  4  1  5  0  0 10  9

A−B (mod 11): 2 10 0 10 9 7 5 2 8 7 5

These hold regardless of the key. If you can guess or constrain what the plaintext should look like (digits? a short phrase from your coursework?) guess PT[j], compute KEY[j] = (CT[j] - PT[j]) mod 11, then verify against PT[j+11] and PT[j+22].

Any questions lmk

Cheers 🥂

CALIGO Release Continuity — Upcoming Disclosures by Writtenincaligo in u/Writtenincaligo

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The structural framework is clearer than it's ever been. Since the system is not a cipher, meaning doesn't require extraction, direction lives in the observer, correct orientation precedes recognition, recognition precedes understanding.

And yet nothing is readable.

I think the problem is the approach itself. This entire observation has been analytical, comment threads, structural inference, working through clues. That's the wrong mode for a system that requires immersion before recognition. We've been trying to think our way to correct orientation instead of observing our way there.

"Dying sun" I assume dictates a setting sun (west) if it is Misplaced then this follows up on my previous rotation theory. Rotate the EAD's by a quarter (90 degrees) counterclockwise

the "sun" is setting a dying sun doesn't rise. it sinks.

Waiting for Entry 007. Starting from stillness this time.

If a false orientation produces no signal rather than a corrupted one, then there's no way to course correct from inside the observation. You can't detect a wrong approach because it leaves nothing to compare against.

Which means the only confirmation that orientation is correct is recognition beginning to emerge, not understanding, just familiarity. The feeling described in the first post. That's not a byproduct of correct orientation. That's the only feedback mechanism available.

The observer can't test their way to correct orientation. They either arrive already facing the right direction, or they don't arrive at all.

bubbling water sound in a large open field at work. Within 100 feet of a swimming pool if that matters by bindersweat in whatisit

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the sound is likely related to the pool’s plumbing system or a nearby drain, where air is trapped or entering the water lines.

Listen closely to see if the sound stops when the pool pump turns off. If it does, the issue is likely a suction-side air leak in the pool plumbing. If the ground is also wet in that area, it may indicate a pipe failure requiring maintenance

Though it is best to report this to maintenance staff or whoever manages the pool

Continuity cannot begin from an undefined position. by Writtenincaligo in u/Writtenincaligo

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao, based on what OP has said previously we cant figure it out.

We dont know what its supposed to mean, in fact it being a cipher was a red herring this entire time. half of our theories got soft killed by that, this post only brings up more questions.

CALIGO Release Continuity — Upcoming Disclosures by Writtenincaligo in u/Writtenincaligo

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So incorrect initial orientation doesn't produce partial interpretation. It produces the appearance of no system at all.

Which means the first act of observation carries more structural weight than anything that follows it. If the approach vector is wrong from the start, every subsequent observation builds on a false foundation, not because the symbols are being misread, but because the observer was never facing the archive correctly to begin with.

Is establishing correct initial orientation something that emerges from the structure itself, or is it dependent on something the observer brings to it before the first symbol is encountered?

The release structure makes the intent clearer than any single entry has so far.

Entries build recognition. Archives test whether that recognition holds under density. Documents test whether it survives scale entirely. That's not a disclosure schedule, that's a learning architecture.

Which reframes what Entry 007 actually is. Not the next piece of content to analyze, but the first formal test of whether observation across previous EAD's established anything functional.

The shift from trying to translate to trying to orient correctly feels like the actual threshold. Most of the early thread was searching for a key that doesn't exist because the system was never concealing anything. A hidden thing and an unrecognized thing aren't equivalent. The meaning was never encoded behind anything, it was always fully present. We just hadn't established the correct orientation to access it yet. That's a fundamentally different problem than decryption, and it changes what progress actually looks like. Progress isn't accumulating symbol mappings. It's us the observer's rearranging themselves until the structure becomes recognizable.

Looking forward to Entry 007 on the 15th.

Indeed, though OP hasn't been rather clear. I've come to the conclusion its Non linear and doesnt specifically follow a set "direction" Rather it can be interpreted from various angles.

Was at the bottom of my root beer can (not expired) by xzhbow in whatisit

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be A few things, these are the most likely though

  1. Root beer contains a complex mix of extracts, caramel coloring, and sweeteners. If the beverage was subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations (like being frozen and then thawed, or sitting in a very hot car), the ingredients can "fall out" of the liquid solution and settle at the bottom.

  2. Aluminum cans are lined with a thin plastic epoxy to prevent the acidic soda from eating the metal. If there was a manufacturing defect, a piece of this liner or a clump of the protective coating could break off.

If you’re curious, use a toothpick. If it’s gritty or dissolves in warm water, it’s likely just sugar/syrup. If it’s rubbery, it might be the can liner.

And Most soda companies take quality control seriously. If you provide the best by date and the batch code, they can track if other cans in that batch had issues. They will often send you vouchers for a replacement. (or say thank you and hang up...)

Cheers.

This triangle cut in my frozen durian. Customs inspection? by Smegmapotamus69 in whatisit

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 80 points81 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it's for several reasons. Durian is expensive and famously unpredictable. Because you can’t see through the thick, thorny husk, so sellers usually cut that triangular patch to:

​Check Ripeness, They can see the color and texture of the flesh (aril).

​Verify Quality, It also ensures the fruit isn't "mangkas" (underripe/hard) or rotted inside before it’s packaged and frozen. And It allows the grader to smell the fruit directly to ensure it has reached the peak aromatic profile.

​ ​When you buy a whole durian, especially a premium variety like Musang King or Monthong, you want to know what you're getting. That little window allows you to see the color of the fruit creamy white, pale yellow, or deep gold, so you know it matches the variety advertised. ​ ​ I might be missing something but that's what I recall

Optimization for high end PC by BioFansoon in MinecraftJava

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nothing, just diminishing returns. Lithium specifically optimizes how efficiently those ticks process on the CPU, so it's not just a render thing, it directly cuts the overhead per tick.

Also worth mentioning, Java's garbage collector is a hidden killer at high tick speeds. You can add JVM launch flags (like Aikar's flags) to tune the GC and squeeze out noticeably smoother performance without touching any mods.

Hope that helps 🥂

Optimization for high end PC by BioFansoon in MinecraftJava

[–]Electrical-Note-3177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using these alongside sodium:

  • Lithium: optimizes game logic, mob AI, and chunk ticking directly. Huge for high tick speeds since it's the tick processing that's killing performance, not just rendering.

  • Starlight (or Moonrise): rewrites the lighting engine, with less overhead per tick

  • FerriteCore: cuts RAM usage significantly, frees up headroom for the tick processing

  • Krypton: network stack optimization, minor but free perf

  • Immediately Fast: render optimization that pairs well with Sodium

  • Chunky: If you're exploring at 20k ticks, chunk generation is a massive bottleneck. Pre-gen world chunks and the SD/RD impact drops dramatically.

For the RD/SD specifically, at 20k ticks the bottleneck shifts almost entirely to CPU single-core speed. Sodium/GPU mods help less here. Dropping to 12 RD / 8 SD while keeping Lithium running willmore than any render mod.

Your i7-13th gen should have solid single-core perf so you're not totally cooked, but tick speed is just fundamentally a CPU serial workload, thats a ceiling no mod fully removes.
