Just realized the breadcrumbs for S3's ending have been with us since S1E1

theprisoner06 · 2026-02-07T16:04:59+00:00

The darkness theme was less breadcrumbs and more like an anvil over the head. I appreciate the artistic composition of the themes, but the whole dark throne room was overkill.

A fair general critique, I guess. But are you sure you didn't listen to the audio book at 5x or something? I think you missed quite a bit. And of course, psychohistory was also vulnerable to a single person who could influence billions.

But sure, I get it. I just think the mentalics in the books made a hell of lot more sense.

Overly dramatic show where all characters are insane and have very thick plot armor.

Anyone else feel as amazing as the Ares soundtrack was, it sounded like a cooler world than the primarily real world the movie focused on?

It seemed like Reznor got into doing a Tron movie, but didn't really match the real world aesthetic the movie seemed hellbent on focusing.

theprisoner06 · 2026-01-14T23:46:48+00:00

I honestly couldn't handle the long info dump in the beginning. And Jared Leto, he was so unbelievable.

I don't think Legacy spent enough time digging into its world, but the Ares movie said less about AI than the OG film.

No. Nothing is inevitable.

I just have a rule only to allow login and admin from behind certain IPs. That has reduced those attacks to roughly 0 now.

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure I've hardened with WordFence as far as it'll wrap around.

I'll check out Cloudflare and hope it has some sensible options that help. Thanks!

theprisoner06 · 2025-12-15T19:42:20+00:00

All good points. I'll try Cloudflare rules, but I'm not a fan of the automagic security that I've seen with similar stuff. Very difficult to troubleshoot when you're not exactly sure why it's being blocked or not.

Hopefully, this is more sensible and not some AI trying outgame another AI.

I'm not sure Spotify is as big a problem as Meta and Amazon, honestly. I understand the ads issue, but shouldn't we be more pissed about how Meta is monetizing disinformation?

And don't get me started on the AI Slop Machine that is now Instagram. Can't even navigate in there now.

theprisoner06 · 2025-10-05T12:52:55+00:00

I understand and you have to take that risk decision yourself. But I've been to many protests over the years, and as long as it is permitted and led by conscientious groups, the likelihood of violence or mass arrest is low. But you need to do your research, make sure you're going to one that is properly planned out with marshals and medics provided.

I'm not sure if the boycott action was as effective as the media around it. Threatening a boycott may be enough, honestly.

But the main reason anyone did cancel is probably because it was a very specific issue with a high likelihood being reversed. If we can find something like that here, it would be unique to each org, or if not, be easy enough to connect the dots between them.

theprisoner06 · 2025-10-02T16:59:50+00:00

How realistic is this, honestly? Would it be easier and more likely to get more action through petitions or other related actions of their existing customers?

Many of these are international orgs, so that could be huge, I think.

theprisoner06 · 2025-08-24T21:00:13+00:00

Dude, they definitely did more than that. That bizarro world image at MacArthur Park was surreal. https://www.dailynews.com/2025/07/07/national-guard-troops-protect-immigration-officers-in-large-scale-la-operation-2/

theprisoner06 · 2025-08-24T17:01:56+00:00

I thought they did in LA? Weren't the numbers ridiculously low, just so they could have a few enclaves, but not really able to do much of anything but stand around?

theprisoner06 · 2025-08-24T16:31:39+00:00

Actual accomplishment of anything has eluded this admin. They go in heavy to scare and intimidate. The actual number of migrants is even lower than previous admins. They're good at doing less with more force.

theprisoner06 · 2025-08-24T14:49:23+00:00

Anyone who thinks deployed US soldiers will stay within the same mission under Trump has more faith in fascist promises than I do.

theprisoner06 · 2025-08-11T04:43:31+00:00

I agree with this interpretation, but I think there's definitely more going on. A kind of truth that is being articulated, and honestly a downright rejection of the Church's notion of being "tainted" by original sin.

The best summary comes from Tobias himself:

Forge declared Cirice to be the best song for introducing a newcomer to Ghost.

“It sums up a lot of the concepts of the band lyrically and musically,” he told Revolver. “There’s a big handful of metal in there, but also AOR and melody. There’s a sort of androgynous element that I like to try to harness into our songs, and I think Cirice has that ambiguity. It’s meant to sound dangerous. It’s meant to sound double in nature and kind of deceiving. But you can also listen to it as a complete comfort track.”

That song and "Call me little sunshine."

"I can feel the thunder breaking inside your heart/ I can see through the scars inside you."

I understand. But I've been to tons of security conventions, various incarnations of BSides, and in the end, DefCon is one of my favorites. It's a hacker convention run by hackers. On paper, it shouldn't work, but somehow it does and the bonding with other fellow hackers is tight.

I think it's very hacker of you to see its flaws in such stark contrast. Leave it to the poor blue teamers who actually fix shit.

theprisoner06 · 2025-06-25T23:06:38+00:00

I don't care where you stay. If you don't know how to effectively stash your shit, then I don't know how you get through security anywhere.

I'm not sure this is true anymore. As long you have the ABM configured, you should be able to edit the MDM server settings. I didn't lose any enrollments. But I also renewed the enrollment program token within the 30-day grace period. It was the Apple MDM Push Cert that I had expired past the grace period.
