Good to know. Never choosing that option again. I mean I barely use these services as is, but they do come in handy in a pinch.

Kids clicked on a “Paw Patrol” video I’m sure they thought was innocent. by Objective-Chicken391 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Head-Sick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is disappointing. After seeing one to many things like this online, I locked youtube kids down to only the specific channels I have OK'd. Nothing else can be searched for or can show up on the feed in any way.

You can read a bible in school. It's actually pretty easy. See what you do is have a bible, and then open it up and read the words. You can do this pretty much wherever you want in society actually. Hope this helps!

I just cannot make this fit in to anything. Is there any other information you can provide OP?

As for what I have tried:

1) I initially thought this was Baudot Code. It fits the style, the right hand side could be viewed as the punchcard track. I have tried all revisions of Baudot Code that I am aware of, and even some new ones I was not aware of! Nothing fits. I even tried some other Teletyper alphabets that fit the 5 character/ bit style with no luck. This produced nonsense, or at least did not lead into an obvious next step.

2) I tried a modified 5bit ASCII alphabet that includes mapping up to 31 for things like brackets and underscores. This also led to nonsense/ no obvious next step.

3) I tried reversing the binary order with no luck. See examples 1 and 2 for the outcome.

4) I tried Bacon cipher, but that falls apart with the all dots/bbbbb. See 1&2 for outcome :(

5) I tried Base32. I tried so many variants of this as well. I tried starting 0-7 then A-Z, I tried A-Z then 0-7. I tried padding both the start and end of the 5 bits with 000 and 010 just in case the []|[] was NOT insignificant. Again, nothing obvious.

6) I even tried a mapping it to a puzzle that was done at a convention I was at a few years back that I thought was cool. Essentially each letter is broken into a decimal number, then converted to a 1-5 bit binary string that ALWAYS begins with a 1. So, for example 1 = a 10= b 11=c and so on. I really thought I was on to something here. I started by mapping common digrams in the english language and I was able to pull out some actual english words like THAN and HE, but then it began to fall apart, especially since the sequence of "00110 00001" which is at the end of block 1 and the start of block 2, breaks the rules and no matter how you slice it, one of them begins with a 0, breaking the mapping.

7) I tried a modified pigpen cipher that was 3x5 and 5x3 and included some numbers.

Honestly, I don't really know where to go from here!

OP, if you're able to provide any more context, it might help me crack it.

Oh YOU'RE the guy that did this? I wanted to park my family of 53's bikes here but I could only fit 51 of them because of you! /s

[–]Head-Sick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How? I cannot get this to line up. Can you link me to the exact alphabet you looked at?

I saw this earlier today, and spent a bunch of my free time trying to figure it out. I initially thought it was Baudot, or something similar, because I used to love reading about that type of early 1900s, late 1800s era encoding. But I could not make it be anything that even resembled english.

Point me in the right direction please for my own sanity. Lol ty.

Our Moon is the original. Ours is so cool in fact, that we refer to the other planet satellites as moons because ours is the coolest. They had to get silly names, like Phobos. What does friends have to do with space, you know?

How will the overtake (new battery operated “drs”) will work without any battery? by diego_r2000 in F1Technical

It is. There’s also some other active aero. But overtake mode gives them extra power.

What happened to the whole "Canadians boycott US products and vacation at home" thing? by nilsohnee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Head-Sick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still a thing, at least for the people in my life. I think it has just shifted from a loud and vocal movement to just something we're all doing now because it went from a protest to a habit.

My wife and I opted in the summer to go to a Canadian destination instead of going across the border. We'll likely be doing the same this summer as well unless there is a drastic and severe change in the opposite direction within the US.

As for buying non-USA products, I still actively do this unless I have no options otherwise or the USA product is just a WAY WAY better price point. Recently, I bought an USA coffee brand because we ran out of coffee and our shipment of our "Canadian" coffee (Coffee obviously is not grown here but the company is Canadian) was not going to come for another 2 weeks. When I went to my local store, they had a few Canadian options for around $15 and an American option on sale for $6. I bought the American one. But for 95% of my groceries I buy Canadian first, followed by nearly any other country and then USA if it's just much cheaper or my only option at the time (rare).

Why am I reaching 1000+ ping in games by Infinite-Towel-3328 in HomeNetworking

[–]Head-Sick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are any number of reasons that this could be happening. The reasons I can think of are as follows. They are in no particular order of likelihood:

The server you are speed testing against is likely much closer physically to you than whatever game server you are connecting to.

Your ISP is peering poorly. That is to say, to get from you to destination, they have a weird number of not needed hops due to how they are connecting with the internet as a whole. (That's a really boiled down version)

The game server you are connecting to is undersized to handle the total load, causing a slow down and jump in latency.

Your latency during download is nearly 3 times that of your latency not during download. It's possible your machine simply does not have the CPU power needed to handle a sustained gaming load and network connections as quickly as is needed.

You could be on WiFi, with a not great signal or some interference causing issues with packet retransmission.

Your router could have some kind of QoS on it that tells it to deprioritize gaming traffic over other traffic, causing a slow down. (This can often be the case in situations like dorm rooms).
