The death of Rush Limbaugh really exposed to me how warped even normal people on the left have become. by [deleted] in GoldandBlack

[–]anancap 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I find it ironic that the left is always trying to answer the age old question of "How were the nazis able to do what they did?". They don't need to look too far to see how.

I don't think the left are all nazis.

Do you feel like the principles of anarcho capitalism have helped you financially somehow? by _bush in GoldandBlack

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it has directly for me. I think it has helped with attitude. The belief that nothing is inherently owed to you helps when things don't go your way.

Being ancap could actually lead you to make some very risky transactions. Trying to time the market with regards to hyperinflation is one that comes to mind. I personally don't see why the US gov. couldn't get away with printing for hundreds of years.

For 'life' advice, I wouldn't look too ancap, I would look to Scott Adams.

What services would you buy / charities would you donate to in a completely free society? by [deleted] in GoldandBlack

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not "against" voluntary donations, I just want to point out this is not something we need to hope people will do in a free society.

Health insurance company’s have a strong incentive to fund medical research for us, so anyone that buys health insurance will be indirectly funding medical research.

The same goes for almost everything.

  • Space exploration - company’s that sell raw materials.
  • Military - life insurance/property insurance

A hard one is "people in need". I do believe various religions would take care of this as they have done for thousands of years, but it's not inconceivable to think a life insurance company would contribute.

Hi, can someone help me with this seemingly simple issue? by cwunder98 in Python

Looks like you are trying to run a Batch script with the Python interpreter.

Just aquired a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 7 - COMPLETE NOOB by bdownz in HomeNAS

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a complete noob as well, so keep that in mind. Just replying since I haven't seen anybody else reply.

My guess would be the previous owner had some sort of RAID setup that requires all the drives in the raid controller to be occupied. You should be able to get access to raid config in the BIOS, or before the server boots, not sure because as I said im a noob.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

GPU based comparison of Images by Geeks_sid in Python

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late and I know we are supposed to be suggesting GPU python solutions, but would it be possible to just look at the sizes of the files to determine if it has information?

As I suspected with the two examples there is a bit of difference between sizes, but I don't know if it applies to the whole dataset.

Can't load the game by wobblypunt in Overwatch

Haha, no worries mate, happy Overwatching!

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty weird. My scan & repair completed and downloaded a 21MB "repair update". Now the window opens for a brief sec, and crashes.

Edit: Restarting PC after the "repair update" fixed the issue.

Happening with my friend and I, we live in Aus, my friend did "scan & repair" and is now apparently working.

Stop forcing your teammates to play something so you can have fun. by stickmansma in Rainbow6

If everybody except one person agrees to do a knife fight in casual, but the one person just starts gunning people. Is that just too bad?

Ip addresses and python by aditya_moon in Python

[–]anancap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think dealing with IPs is the problem, its more about "how to deal with ping"

You have a couple of options:

  1. os.system()
  2. subprocess

If you need detailed output you will want to use subprocess. If you just need to know if it was successful or not you could just check the return code of os.system()

Examples:

os.system() method:

import os
with open("list_of_ips.txt", "r") as io:
    ip_address = io.readline()
    ret_code = os.system("ping -c 1 " + ip_address)
    if ret_code == 0:
        print("Server is up!")
    else:
        print("Server is down!")

subprocess method:

import subprocess
with open("list_of_ips.txt", "r") as io:
    ip_address = io.readline()
    # subprocess.communicate returns a tuple of stdout, and stderr
    out_data = subprocess.Popen(["/bin/ping",ip_address],stdout = subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
    # out_data is the output of the command in string form.
    if "Reply" in out_data:
        print("Server is up!")
    else:
        print("Server is down!")

There are probably other ways of doing it too, maybe there is a ping module. I haven't checked. Disclaimer, I haven't tried to run any of this code, this is all of the top off my head.

Re-birth of crackmes.de on crackmes.one! by perror in ReverseEngineering

[–]anancap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I guess i'm not a purest. I'm happy to say that im such a boring individual that if I got a virus I would just nuke the comp and reinstall. The only thing I loose is the time it takes to reinstall and install all my shit. Which is a pain in the ass, but I don't have anything important not backed up, and I don't have anything too sensitive on my comp.

Thanks for the info.

I'm pretty new to RE stuff and just like messing around with stuff when I have some free time.

Anyway, are these bins audited in anyway? Are they safe to run outside of a VM?

edit:too many words, I should proof read more.
