And it keeps getting worse. Basically the whole base plus some forests and residential areas seem to be burning.

I think these are satellite measurements that accumulate over 24 hours though, so not sure if the image reflects the current situation well.

Nö, nix verstanden du hast, alles nochmal lesen du vielleicht solltest.

Also ich habe dir eine ziemlich direkte Frage gestellt wie du dazu stehst. Wenn du mir dann mit so einer lavierenden nicht-Antwort um die Ecke kommst... irre ich lieber auf der Seite der Vorsicht.

Thema Einwanderung, von wo sollen die denn einwandern? Aus armen Ländern etwa? Jo, lass uns die gebildeten und lernwilligen Leute abwerben.

Die kommen sowieso, da müssen wir nichts mehr für machen außer die mit offenen Armen willkommen zu heißen. Die Konservativen heulen deswegen doch seit Jahren rum und wollen hier einen auf Festung Europa machen stattdessen. Werden auch nicht weniger werden in Zukunft wenn der Klimawandel erst mal richtig Fahrt aufnimmt.

Because bee stingers are mostly used against other insects. They don't get stuck in a chitin exoskeleton, only in the more flexible skin tissue of mammals. In insects the barbs instead pull out soft tissue from inside, thus making them more lethal (to the bees victim).

Ist eine Wanderausstellung:

In den vergangenen Monaten wurde die Schau bereits an mehreren Orten gezeigt, etwa in Kirchen, in einer Schule, in der Chemnitzer Arbeitsagentur und im Sächsischen Landtag. Nun war als nächste Station Pirna geplant.

Das Zitat ist mir auch sauer aufgestoßen. Was für "positives Feedback" haben die denn erwartet? Das irgendwer das geil findet wenn unsere Polizei nach Hautfarbe aussucht?

Aber naja, wen wundert es mit einem Drittel AfD im Stadtrat...

Ok, du willst also die Menschenrechte abschaffen. Verstanden.

Übrigens, gibt noch eine "Stellschraube" die du vergessen hast, nennt sich Einwanderung.

Der demographische Wandel ist überall auf der Welt ein Problem wo es Menschen gutgeht, sie Zugang zu Bildung haben und Frauen Rechte haben.

Das sind die Punkte wo du ansetzen musst wenn die das Problem beheben willst. [...]

Sozialleistungen gegen Kinder machen wird nur ausgenutzt führt aber nicht zu eine spürbaren Steigerung der Geburtenrate bei den Gruppen die nicht unter die drei oben genannten Einschränkungen fallen.

Nur damit ich das richtig verstehe... Du sagst also wir sollten dafür sorgen das es Menschen schlecht geht, sie ungebildet sind, und Frauen keine Rechte haben?! Bitte sage mir das ich dich falsch verstanden habe!

You thought it was AI, but she just has ulnar polydactyly. How do I know this is ulnar instead of radial or central polydactyly? The wedding ring, it's on the ring finger.

(/s of course, this is obviously AI. But yeah people with extra fingers do in fact exist. They or the parents often cut away the extra finger for cosmetic reasons.)

The attempts to onshore chip production, for instance, have mostly just been gobbled up by AI compute.

But that leaves an existing chip industry to be nationalised if needed, having an ongoing hype around AI just helps keeping the necessary investment down.

That has some military uses (see: Israel) but it’s ultimately a boondoggle.

If you are talking about Lavender that's hardly a military use. They basically built an elaborate RNG as an ethical fig leaf for their indiscriminate bombing and called it "AI" to gain credibility from the ongoing hype cycle. That's more of a political use than a military one I would say. They must know I hope they know it's bullshit, so then the only realistic use-case left is justification of their actions towards the growing number of AI believers.

I always select the driver on purpose. My reasoning is that this training data will probably be used for AI by insurance companies in the future and this will help to classify drivers as an insured asset that automatic systems will avoid damaging.

I will keep on updating so that this remains as a proof of the crime which is happening against me .

Bro no offence but it seems the only thing you documented here is your slow descent into madness. If your complaint to the Irish police sounded anything like this post read I'm not surprised they got mental health services involved, because frankly, you sound unhinged.

I mean black magic? Really? That's paranoia levels of absurd. And a global conspiracy out to get you specifically wherever you move on top of that? Hate to break it to you, but we live in an indifferent world. Keeping such a conspiracy going would be a lot of effort, and it is rather unlikely that anybody gives that much of a shit about you.

Since you probably wouldn't just believe a medical professional on this anyway (you'd explain them away as part of the conspiracy, as you already did in this post with the Irish) please get the DSM and see if you can self-diagnose for Paranoid Personality Disorder. Judging from this post you seem to fit the definition like a hand fits into a glove.

If you don't see it on the first read give it a second one with the assumption in mind that your perception of what has happened is wrong.

I'll have you know that this is famous sci-fi author Charles David George Stross posting an excerpt from his seminal novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. The warning is right in the title, I'm sure nobody will be dumb enough to ignore it!

[...] a public institution is really not a great example of the general population [...]

Which I touched upon in my disclaimer, but in some ways it is a great example. Public institutions are defined by the general population, indirectly through their representatives creating the rules that govern them, and directly through contact with the public at large. Now if all our institutions still use this very outdated technology, and you can have trouble convincing them - during a global pandemic mind you - that using email is just as safe as using fax (so not safe at all basically), then that speaks to a larger mindset in the general population.

Many in the general public are also a lot quicker, some might even say careless, with adopting new technology of course. But as a society we are rather slow, and there are surprisingly many individuals who are hesitant or entirely resistant to adopting new technology. The fediverse usage is a bubble in a bubble here.

The internet infrastructure is another good example for this on the societal level, as there were plans in the 1980ies [!] to lay out a glass fibre network between every publicly used building in the country, which would have gotten us a good part of the way towards adopting this new material at scale. But in the end it was deemed unnecessary and too expensive and the project got canned (mixed in with rumours of "close friendship" between the chancellor and a major copper producer). Instead now we have people running around thirty years later and collecting signatures at the door for last-mile fibre network projects that seldom make quorum and thus almost never materialise public funding.

2. [...] But also how are Germans technologically behind regarding common personal life?

I bet you wherever in Germany you are, if you go to the website of your local city government right now they will have a still active fax number in their contact information. I guarantee it. Well if they have a website that is.

Which is a bit silly as an example but highlights the central problem, which is that adoption of new technology happens at a glacial pace, especially in public institutions. There are many reasons for that of course, some good, like the aforementioned inclination towards privacy, some bad like whatever allows fax machines to still be around.

And don't get me started on internet infrastructure... In an international comparison we certainly aren't leading the field regarding adoption of new technologies.

Depends on the kind of colour blindness you have I guess. I think I have the congenital red-green blindness common among men, and saturate Just Works™ for me. Plus I don't have to fiddle with setting a rotation degree there.

Oh yeah, can't use the same IP range as your LAN, that will lead to problems. :D Glad it's fixed.

Out of curiosity, does forwarding work now without the output (-o) command in PostUp?

PSA for my fellow colour blind people, you can use inspect element option of your browser to add a filter: saturate(100); rule to the element for this kind of image:

Like I said in another thread on this post, I'm pretty sure that's because they are forwarding input but not output in the PostUp rules. Setting a /32 in AllowedIPs works fine for me.

What are you trying to say? That reply also shows AllowedIPs set to a /32 on the server side.

I don't think that's what the setting does. Anyway, I have them set to a /32 IP in my server config and it works nonetheless. I get full access to the /24 behind the server from the client.

You have ALL traffic being routed over Wireguard here.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the other way around? All Wireguard traffic is forwarded to the local interface.

I think the problem might be your PostUp/PostDown lines have an in-interface (-i) but are missing an out-interface (-o) for the forwarding. Try this:

PostUp   = iptables -A FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -A FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ens3 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -D FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o ens3 -j MASQUERADE

Nearly, the technological development that made line infantry tactics essentially obsolete was breach loading, because muzzle loading is rather hard to do in a prone position. Breach loaders already used pre-made ammunition cartridges in most cases, but magazines (especially non-internal ones) were a later development. Nonetheless they already made reloading much easier and also much faster than muzzle loading.

Rifled barrels giving increased range, gun powder that doesn't block vision by creating big clouds, and ammunition cartridges/needle guns played a role as well. But breach loading made the biggest difference to infantry tactics.

Advances in artillery range and accuracy also made line tactics much more dangerous after a certain point. However some more conservative commanders still used line infantry related tactics like bayonet charges until well after the advent of machine guns in the first world war.

I don’t think capitalism is necessarily at fault, nor must the working/middle classes be struggling for fascism to emerge. If anything, quite the opposite. It is the better off countries that end up turning fascist. All fascist countries are/were first world countries, in various states of advanced development.

That's not right, at least not for the fascist regimes in Europe that emerged prior to WW2. The countries where it happened (specifically Germany/Italy/Spain) had all seen civil unrest or even civil war in the recent past, they were hit hard by the global financial crisis in the twenties and had high unemployment and widespread poverty. This was the very thing the fascists used to ingratiate themselves to the public at large, by creating jobs through massive public building and rearmament projects.

By the way "first world countries" is post-WW2 terminology and didn't originally have a connotation of superior economic status, but was referring strictly to ideological alignment. Whether a country belonged to the capitalist/communist/unaligned block in international politics during the cold war.

I have no skin in the game

Well during that time you will have lost quite a lot of skin cells, so in a manner of speaking you literally have some skin in this game. Around 328 grams going by an average loss of 3.6kg/year I took from some random website.

Sie fordert, Menschen sollten aufgeklärt und unterstützt werden, um beispielsweise frühzeitig eine Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung abzuschließen.

Sagt die Versicherungsfachfrau. Ja danke für den Tipp Monika. Wie so eine Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung den im Gesetz sogenannten "Arbeitssuchenden" denen Bürgergeld zusteht helfen soll bleibt fraglich. Das ist ein komplett anders SGB Moni.

Wenn man mal in die Abgründe der Psyche dieser Person blicken möchte empfehle ich das Interview mit Focus. Da haut sie so Kalauer raus wie es gäbe ja zinslose Darlehen für Haushaltsgeräte (ist in den meisten Fällen eine Ermessensentscheidung, d.h. kann ohne Begründung abgelehnt werden) und man könne ja mal beim Hofladen einkaufen statt im Supermarkt, weil der wo sie hingeht (fährt?) hat gerade billige Kürbisse. Und eine Dose Mais für 0,99€ ordnet sie als unnötigen Luxus ein. Einfach merkbefreit.

Hence my disclaimers in said post, and my efforts at explaining following your accusations.

Learn to read.

I said Sulla gave up his dictatorship in response to a rhetorical question I took the liberty of answering.

In an effort of tying that aside back to the topic of the thread I then tried to state that it remains to be seen if Trump will be the one to kill the republic (Caesar), or the one setting the precedent to make it possible (Sulla).

I have no delusions that Trump would willingly give up power. He has already shown that he will not. But what he hasn't done (yet) is kill the republic. And as the assassination attempt happening a few days after my post should have made clear, he might yet fail to. What I'm worried about is whoever is going to fill the power vacuum that comes after his departure. This shit won't stop even if death rids us of him.

But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted. Hence my disclaimers in said post, and my efforts at explaining following your accusations. Which you have so far only answered with more insults. So I really have to wonder who is the one saying stupid fucking things here.

Yeah I'm probably giving more benefit of the doubt than I should here, but I prefer to err on the side of caution in matters like this. I'm still not entirely convinced that this user is a troll, because if I were facing the prospect of an openly fascist dictatorship I would be in emotional distress as well. So I'm still doubting, however I have to say my patience is beginning to wear rather thin.

Again, not what I said. To be frank, the amount of misinterpretation you show is starting to seem utterly deliberate.

If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people.

And please show me where the fuck I ever doubted that. Do you not know who Sulla was? Did you not read me saying he fought a civil war and was the first general to march on Rome? Like right above the section you quoted out of context?

What I said is Trump might not turn out to be the one to kill the republic but the one to irreparably damage it instead. Think for example him getting elected to a second term and then dying a month into it without achieving much of his dictatorial agenda.

You are an idiot.

That I am, given that I am still arguing with you.

I'm not quite sure what exactly you are taking offence from in that statement but feel free to enlighten me. In my defence I tried to indicate that it is a rough metaphor.

P.S. to rephrase, it seems you did not in fact catch my drift.

Wow, ok. User name does not check out.

Jokes aside though I feel attacked and my defence mechanism is to braindump, so consider what is to follow to be on you.

you should shut the fuck up with your ‘well actually’ de facto dictator apologia

As I was trying to make clear with the implicit disclaimer at the beginning of my comment and the explicit disclaimer at the end of my comment, that was not my intention. What I was trying to do was expand on the historical context as @Soulg@sh.itjust.works already pointed out (thanks btw). I am well aware that the term dictator has lost its connotation of "temporary office" long ago, and it is today used pretty much in the sense of absolute monarchy.

Rome didn’t have that many ‘dictators’ give up power

The GP asked "how many do you know", and essentially I replied "at least two but pretty sure it's more" to that.

But ok, you posit I test. Here is my counterargument. With knowing Wikipedias love for lists and a search you land here: List of Roman dictators.

List starts 501 BCE, ends 44 BCE, with Julius Caesar by the way. I would eyeball its length at ~80-100 entries. That would amount to a dictatorship once every five years roughly.

The article helpfully explains a few Latin terms it uses, among them "abdicavit – abdicated, or resigned". Ctrl+F says 7 occurrences, minus the one explaining it that are 6 mentions of the term, so my new guesstimate would be there are at least 6 dictators (in ancient Rome) who relinquished their office willingly. And I would bet you could get that number higher if you dig into the details, and start looking at term limits and stuff.

So all I'm saying is essentially the dictatorship was an office that was regularly employed for nearly 500 years by an ancient state, and was then abused to bring about the destruction of its system of government. Remind you of anything? Like the presidency? Trump?

the vast majority of societies with authoritarian dictators are dysfunctional

Like those that exist right now? Not only the vast majority, all of them are dysfunctional and I never doubted that. Seriously you are preaching to the choir here. I was literally at court today because a number on a piece of paper was too low, and I couldn't pay to get a newer piece of paper. Luckily the case was dismissed, so I'm pretty fond of the rule of law and separation of powers at the moment, but also equally aware of the monopoly on violence the state claims for itself and how fragile that makes it.

I sense that you are angry, and most likely afraid, and I empathise with that. And due to that level of distress I would assume you are from the US. I'm not sure what to tell you except trying to resist the slide into dictatorship the best you can. Caesar was assassinated, and Hitler only narrowly escaped assassination several times is all I'm saying.

again: shut the fuck up.

Yeah, no, you little dictator. :P
