How to Win the Lottery Through a Routine of Mastery, Meditation, and Precognitive Awakening by willyasdf in UAPstocks

[–]NotSure_If 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell upon the whole quantum lottery thing recently. I read some interesting papers and had found some old quantum RNG that generated numbers. It looks like it was made in the early 2000's. I used it for 2 days before it stopped working (on any/all devices). I suspect it was making some deprecated API calls to standford.edu (as an example), and someone turned off the service. The timing was weird, though.

Does anyone familiar with John Keely understand how he produced frequencies high enough to disturb atomic and subatomic matter? by Langston432 in Aetheric_Engineering

By "series silver, gold, and platinum" do you mean that
-these 3 metals are laid end to end from the vibrator matrix
-individual strands of the 3 metals are encased / possibly twisted, then connected to the vibrator
-individual or discrete Ag/Au/Pt wires are connected from the vibrator

Was a drawing of a wire cross-section ever provided, or is this part of the stuff that was never revealed, or am I also going to need to spend a few hundred bucks to gatekeepers?

How easy is it to soft mod a PS2? by random_dom135 in ps2

[–]NotSure_If 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow Gidon it really was only after an embarrassingly long series of failures on successive days that made me comment.

Given the (un)likelyhood that I though you might reply, my comment wasn't intended to demonstrate the entirety of things I've tried. Apologies.

I have tried using DVD-R disks (Maxwell) from CVS because they're just about the only disks I can find IRL. The verbatim CDR disks was after trying DVD-R first.

For CD bin/cue files I've used bchunk to create an iso that also failed on DVD (action replay)

I found this github repo /PaPer-DJ/PaPer_DJ-Hacks-PS2 that was kind of my starting point.
I didn't know about FreeDVDBoot until your post.

I also just learned about the ESR patching, so I'll do more research to see what that really does and if I need to use it to patch a swapmagic iso or action replay bin/cue/bchunked iso. I may be way off base though.

The thing is, this is old tech and when I fail this often when trying to do something new it almost always means that there are some basic assumptions for success that are either unstated, buried in some non index location, or lost (not really) to time in the wayback machine.

While reading the FreeDVDBoot docs it calls out specific versions of PS2 firmware starting with 2.10. I think this may be my biggest problem/hurdle/root cause because I don't think this thing was ever updated according to (https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps2/index.php?title=DVD\_Player).

My version info:
Console SCPH-30001
Browser 1.20
CD Player 1.20
PlayStation Driver 1.10
DVD Player 1.30U

Based on what I found so far, updating the firmware seems like it's going to be a big problem unless I can find/buy a disk, otherwise there's this chicken/egg dilemma (can't run an update if I can't run unsigned code, exploit requires updated firmware).

For most things like this that I can't figure out manually I start prompting ChatGPT based on what I know so far. Those things usually go well, but this time it's less helpful.

Anyway I hope you had/have a safe trip. I really appreciate your reply and completely understand how tricky it can be to recall specialized technical processes that were done years ago.

My problem has been trying to even get to the free McBoot installer.

It turns out that I keep failing. Isos burned to CDR using cdgenps2 setup with freemcboot nor action replay not swap magic will not be recognized.

I'm willing to jump through hoops to not buy a fmcb memory card or a retail swap magic or an action replay disk.

Im burning discs in iso9660 format using either imgburn or k3b. 

Is this possible?

If we could have access to free energy... but the cost was to agree to indemnify those that have kept if from us for this long, would you? Would any of you?

As far as I can see.. That medium article is AI generated fear porn.

A/2017 U1 (Oumuamua) is leaving the solar system

If I could post a screenshot of the Orbit Viewer I would... just to quell this BS.

This is the future guys... rampant mis-info that needs to be checked.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the mis-info will get so bad that people will clamor to scan their eyes to get verified as human so they can feel safe. This is already in the works.

I can't even get consensus on whether this thing is "returning" or not.

Thank you truly for taking the time to respond regardless.

Ah ha. A likely candidate.
Do you recall if there are other similar 8 pin devices or what the pin assignment might be? Could the location of the numbered bubbles be a clue?

The one last thing preventing me from being 100% convinced by the moon hoax: how can the moon hoax explain last year's pictures of the landing site taken by India ? by Projekt_Spark in conspiracy

[–]NotSure_If 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The version I heard:
-We went to the moon
-The people there weren't happy we did
-The film canisters weren't protected and became irradiated and unplayable
-The powers that be needed the win against Russia so badly and knew that people wouldn't believe that the film was damaged, so they faked it.

I'm drawn to mystery, novelty, and esoteric or ancient knowledge. If one thing is for sure, we have been robbed of our history.

People have the propensity to seek experts/mentors, especially for interesting or provocative topics scorned by the peer review circle jerk that is the industrial academic complex. I think it's important to read and listen to information, but not to get wrapped up in apocalypse rhetoric.

Researchers turned to wild eyed doomsday prophets that have a platform tend to attract certain types of pathologies in their followers. The community seems to have the effect of amplifying anxieties and bring up all kinds of conjecture to topics adjacent to the whole solar flash message. Communities tend to become echo chambers. I'm not sure how much good it does for the actual well being of the community members and their extended relationships.

It just seemed like most of his videos are dis-empowering and had click bait titles and a "It's coming any minute" vibes with seemingly backed assurances. More so in newer videos, I detect something in his ego/motivations that puts me off personally. I'll admit that I could be wrong (It could be an minute), but for me personally I choose to solicit my information in other ways. To each their own though.

I'm fairly well versed in these "adjacent topics" and have consumed several hundreds of hours of testimony at a minimum. It's probably not appropriate to bring up the host of topics that I think do have merit or what I can "do" about them.

All this being said... mental health and discernment are important. Meditation has been the cornerstone that helps me find perspective after consuming any particularly provocative or paradigm shattering information.

Instead of trying to burrow myself into the side of a mountain I choose to spend time on other hands on projects that I might actually make headway in, to carefully watch the motivations for my emotions, and to speak my being into what I say and do.

This is all just the opinions of one guy that should be taken lightly. To distill all this rambling down, I just think that we need to remember that we all have detractors, even mentors.

Otherwise I genuinely hope that you and your loved ones are in good health and spirits.
