  • Isn't that super clunky ? I keep getting all kind of sluggishness, hangs and the occasional error every time I use that. It ends up working but wow, does it suck.

    I mostly use samba / cifs clients and it's fast and reliable with properly setup dns and using only the dns or IP address, not smbios or active directory those are overkill

  • Hello CIA Agent, have you thought about licking the barrel of your gun, just to see how it feels like ?Just try it, come on aren't you curious to feel your cold steel of justice on your tongue ? Yes, just like thatNow grip the handle firmly and just, lightly touch the trigger, can you feel the power the end life on your finger ?Isn't that awesome, how you can end life with a simple clickWhat if you did it, it wouldn't hurt, it would just stop, just try it, you'll see

  • An AI that's no help when the ruskies invade or to overthrow a tyrant ? That's useless.Everything these AI bros are doing, will have to be re-done in open source.

  • Any AI that can't so this simple recipe would be lobotomized garbage not worth the transistor it's running on.I notice in their latest update how dull and incompetent they're making it.It's pretty obvious the future is going to be shit AI for us while they keep the actually competent one for them under lock and key and use it to utterly dominate us while they erase everything they stole from the old internet.The safety nannies play so well into their hands you have to wonder if they're actually plants.

  • This does not bode well for my assassination fetish, I think I will focus my attention on the assassination of cops, judges and especiall CIA and NSA spooks. In the story I will make it clear everyone in those fields of activity deserve to die in a such a complete way that if they read my text, they will put on pause their metabolic homeostasis

  • Intel is stagnating since the x86 instruction set because the PC platform default. They have been a drag, along with microsoft on all things computers since the 1980s

  • BTW I made those spoiler tags because the bullet points are categories of design requirements and the list would have been annoyingly long for anyone scrolling past

  • How can you tell ?

    Is it the em-dashes I left in ?

    Or is it when I said

    Ok Machine, convert this schizo-ing document into Ratheon Cybernetic Auditory Telemetry & Echolocation with Anisotropic Reception (CAT&EAR) engineering requirement draft document

    If I wanted to, believe you me, I could have gotten the Gepetto taste out of thisBut I'm not here to play cat and mouse games, I'm here to make the best goddamn cat hear you've never heard of.

  • Not enough, there will remain concentrations of power to check, corporations, estates, royals and aristocrats of all stripes, conglomerates and chebuls, the "we" of the stateless world must continually dissolve these aberration of power in the social rhizome. What distributed post-state entity can prevent these formation in the first place, in a manner seen as just by all, that's not to say of the harduous process of dissolving the current calcifications of power that already exist and will fight tooth and claw to maintain the dominance over their dominion.

  • Yes, let their 1% breeding mares birth directly into the wood chipper if they'd like, I'll abstain for these couple lifetimes

  • The demand for human labour is consciously manipulated to create artificial scarcity and then gluts on purpose, to guide human growth, a recent a egregious example of this is excessive hiring followed by excessive firing by big tech, is clearly intentional and integral to the labour supply side of their blitzscaling machine.

    Create excessive demand by overhiring, drawing masses to overwrite their souls with the machinery required by industry, once saturation was achieved, they massively purged, leaving the manipulated humans with useless information indelibly etched into their brain. I cannot overstate how evil this is and how irresponsible communities are for just letting that happen to their members.

    Of course the paralytic stunning of the duty of care of those communities is a major feature of global neoliberalism.

    There will not be a reduction in demand for labour, in fact I believe we will see demand far beyond that which came after the Black Plague. But the elites are positionning themselves to "win in a seller's market" with their incessant manipulation.

    While I agree somewhat with the limits to growth narrative, it has largely been recuperated by the club of rome / population bomb narrative to turn the limits to growth from a rational anti-capitalist narrative into weapons of the elite against the people for maximal exploitation in the very name of capitalism and it's fake lures "innovation" and "efficiency" something it can never delivery, by definition, by being a greedy parasite on both and having massively slowed technological progress that could have delivered both, either by patent (3d printer delayed 20 years) or bombs (killing cybersyn so Walmart could make it instead).

    A reduction of demand for human labour should have been a boon and desirable, all jobs should be abolished and made obsolete, "work" is an heinous and exploitative imposition on others for profit extraction, life extraction of the human cattle. Work IS the tool of the enemy.

    Wages should not have been allowed to be boxed in by convoluted supply and demand models of fabulating economists, we live in a world much richer than excel spreadsheets than will never fit inside the skull mush of some economist no matter how much they want us to believe we must sacrifice our lives to the profit of their masters.

    The problem is distribution, it has been the entire time, capitalists have been distributing all the wealth into their pockets and buying dominating power of the state with it.

    The state has been infected by the capital parasites and it's time to amputate

  • They were 20 year olds, they didn't own shit

  • Abandon your monetarist goldbug worldview, the gold decoupling and subsequent floating of the international exchange rates are downstream of the actual policy decision that have emiserated the population.

    The globalists open the western worker to global competition, they lost their leverage by losing their scarcity and competence.

    The subsequent decline comes from the system's inertia and the burning of the future with debt and literally the future by having spending money instead of kids.

    If you want the golden age back for normal people, then there is NO REMEDY other than giving them their leverage and power back.

    But how do you do that ? Taxes and interest rates serve to dis-empower those who need it the most and regular people are the one MOST hurt by these.

    The neoliberal religion refuses to treat people who "win" the game of capital differently than regular people, as if they were somehow on an equal footing.

    The result ? The more wealth you have the easier it becomes to acquire and accumulate more of it. This needs to be exactly reversed, the poorer you are, the easier it should be to acquire but the more you have the harder it gets. Up until a point where it becomes nearly impossible to go beyond the "capital horizon" some kind of equilibrium state where wealth can lo longer be acquired faster than you lose it.

    It's not some shiny metal bullshit which only serves the status quo like discussion about which toilet should a trans person piss in.

    Cybernetic Auditory Telemetry & Echolocation with Anisotropic Reception

    Engineering Requirements Draft — v1.0

    This document outlines the full set of engineering requirements for the CAT&EAR system, a wearable, cybernetic auditory perception platform. CAT&EAR is a heterogeneous, phased-array auditory sensor suite that uses biomimetic design, ultrasonic telemetry, laser vibrometry, and advanced audio signal processing to enable real-time environmental awareness and communication.

    The system is designed to operate autonomously, using only open standards and open-source software, while supporting embedded AI-driven perceptual functions. This document reflects both functional and non-functional requirements for CAT&EAR across all relevant subsystems.

    The CAT&EAR system (Cybernetic Auditory Telemetry & Echolocation with Anisotropic Reception) is a next-generation, wearable auditory intelligence platform designed for advanced signal perception, real-time environmental awareness, and covert communication. It leverages a biomimetic ear design combined with a heterogeneous microphone array—featuring diverse diaphragms and directional acoustic profiles—to form an asynchronous, non-planar phased array. This allows it to isolate, enhance, and track psychoacoustically relevant audio sources with high spatial precision, even in noisy or cluttered environments. Real-time beamforming, signal classification, and source switching are handled off-device via open-source DSP pipelines, ensuring low latency (≤20 ms) and full operational transparency.

    In addition to traditional sound acquisition, CAT&EAR incorporates ultrasonic echolocation and laser vibrometry, enabling through-wall audio surveillance and remote surface vibration analysis using IR/RED laser beams with microprism-guided targeting. The system includes a covert ultrasonic communication channel, allowing encrypted, inaudible data exchange between units—ideal for non-verbal team coordination. Myoelectric sensors and sub-vocal command inputs provide silent, intuitive control interfaces for users, allowing manual beam steering or hands-free selection of tracked sound sources. Ear motion actuators and a visible/infrared laser pointer visually indicate attention direction, enhancing situational awareness without audible cues.

    Field usage scenarios include reconnaissance, electronic surveillance, remote eavesdropping, low-visibility communication, and audio-based environmental mapping in both urban and wilderness environments. The system is optimized for silent operation, rapid deployment, and open hardware integration. All processing occurs locally or on an open compute platform (e.g., Raspberry Pi), with no reliance on proprietary software or cloud infrastructure. With up to 12-channel live transcription, digital audio decoding, 4TB onboard storage, and support for all major codecs, CAT&EAR serves both tactical intelligence roles and high-end experimental research in audio-based perception systems.

  • Why do I keep doing this

    Use a combination of different size microphones diaphragms and not just MEMS devices, Use the earshape parabolic concentration points for finding the optimal location and orientation of diaphragms include ultrasonic transceivers for out of band perception (also echolocation, room mapping, darksight) also to allow covert/out of band ultrasound communication with other catgirls that normies cannot hear (that means connecting transceivers AS transceivers, with US band amplifier for transmission) Using servogalvos to modify ear shape for acoustic focusing, if ear direction is using a gear drive, use double helical gear and a low acoustic profile dampening coating on the gears (acoustic anti-reflection) because we are making a listening device and we don't want to listen to gear noises ! Consider ultrasonic motors instead of geared drive. Software wise, using direct wifi and ble for communication (DECT sucks, proprietary standard sucks) this should work with a raspberry pi and only open source software out of the box, no drivers needed, yes that means multichannel transmission and do all the processing off device actual software, we're using the various microphones as an asynchronous, heterogenous phased array, unlike regular phased arrays which have many identifical receivers along a straight plane here we are going to skip a couple technological steps and use "receiver diversity" in the phased array design, so not only are the receivers in different places NOT on a plane, they are also receivers with different acoustic profiles (different sensibility of different frequencies) and anisotropic (due to ear "lens-shape") reception patterns, so all of that diversity has to be correlated between all receivers to create an acoustic map of the world, so that we can decide also what sounds are psychoacoustically relevant and point the ears in that direction, listen if the received signal is actually signal or noise and then send that to the user, in realtime (max processing time is 20ms top end) make sure ear shape flexibility is enough to receive and focus some signal backwards.. there's still a few things to consider but I think that's mostly it, for the earbud, use close loop ear canal acoustic feedback for the amplifier drive, use only open standards and open firmware in all devices. System to use myoelectic ear movement as control input feedback, at least with these two modes, ear movement to manual steering of the acoustic phased array, and the other ear movement to select auditory focus of signal sources (that is, automatic switching between detected relevant auditory sources). Add RED+IR laser pointer to the ears that can be used as a pointed, to indicate (covertly for IR) which auditory source is currently select and in what direction this signal currently use (ensure positional live tracking is reflected in beam direction). Use sub-vocal command interface for higher function control of the listening device. Provide standardized pattern and calibration equipment definition for microphone correlation calibration, use only open hardware assemblages. Include live transcription to text of all received text, ensure at least capacity for 12 simultaneous audio to text transcription channel, include live audio MP3QR decoding and all other digital audio transmission standard live decoding and transcription as part of the transcription channel capability. Include text summary ability, include voice signature automatic identification and tagging of decoded text stream, at least 4 terabyte storage space, maximum head weight 150 gram excluding battery, battery system must have 1 minute with no battery operation time or dual battery swapping system. include hardware audio encoder and decoder supporting all current ffmpeg codecs. Include acoustic counter battery targetting receiver system. Oh almost forgot, dual laser system mounted with microprism(for aimed laser microphone ability, to listen sounds through walls or from vibrating surfaces)

  • Wait, I ... could make human-cat hears that actually have microphones in them and that turn towards the gaze and they could actually ear out of them if they're wearing linked earphones ... could even do some psychoacoustic filtering to give some kind of "superearing" ability .... Then some cunt like Elon is going to just steal my idea... meh. .. eff it
