Astrology Observations #4️⃣

🍄Virgo Venus 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 love language being acts of service.

🍄The Mercury conjunct your midheaven aspect gives me huge “networking for a living” vibes. You could thrive in sales, or a job that requires a lot of communication in some way; either orally or written. Like a columnist or someone in marketing!

🍄Whereas squares add tension to an aspect and planet, oppositions work against each other like same sided magnets; no matter how hard you try, planets won’t mesh unless there’s a balance between the two. It’s tension, but opposing tension. Like a blockage to the energies of that planet that needs working through.

🍄Venus square Pluto aspects could attract obsessive people and have issues with stalkers. Also, power struggles in relationships if you’re not careful!

🍄Aquarius mars and being the avoidant types when it comes to conflict. The nature of the water bearer is to work with the collective at its most evolved, so they’ll usually rise above petty conflict to get to a logical solution. Similar to Libra but not as passively. Or, they are known to rebel to make a shocking statement. They are the rebels of the zodiac after all thanks to Uranus! They get fired up for a cause that’s for sure.

🍄Having your sun conjunct your moon is a pretty awesome aspect in my opinion! If everything else supports this, there could be a nice balance between your ego and emotional self/inner world. They both act as a checks and balances for each other, which is oh so healthy. Could also signify a beautiful relationship between both parents! It’s harmonious and there wasn’t much fighting or toxicity.

🍄As someone who is on the autistic spectrum I love looking to my whole sign Aquarius Saturn in the 3rd house. It explains a lot.

🍄The 8th house not only resembles intimate relationships, shared assets, debts and of course death, but also inheritance too!

🍄Having a highly aspected Chiron indicates the potential for you to become a healer in this lifetime! Chiron is the wounded healer, and so its house sign and aspects can hint towards what needs healing within yourself in order to help others!

🍄A lot of physical therapist and medical professionals have a lot of Virgo in their charts, as well as Scorpio too I’ve noticed. Especially MC.

Until next time! 👽🖖🏼

It starts with him

What was once a promise of technology to allow us to automate and analyze the environments in our physical spaces is now a heap of broken ideas and broken products. Technology products have been deployed en masse, our personal data collected and sold without our consent, and then abandoned as soon as companies strip mined all the profit they thought they could wring out. And why not? They already have our money.

The Philips Hue, poster child of the smart home, used to work entirely on your local network. After all, do you really need to connect to the Internet to control the lights in your own house?  Well you do now!Philips has announced it will require cloud accounts for all users—including users who had already purchased the hardware thinking they wouldn’t need an account (and the inevitable security breaches that come with it) to use their lights.

Will you really trust any promises from a company that unilaterally forces a change like this on you? Does the user actually benefit from any of this?

Matter in its current version … doesn’t really help resolve the key issue of the smart home, namely that most companies view smart homes as a way to sell more individual devices and generate recurring revenue.

It keeps happening. Stuff you bought isn’t yours because the company you bought it from can take away features and force you to do things you don’t want or need to do—ultimately because they want to make more money off of you. It’s frustrating, it’s exhausting, and it’s discouraging.

And it has stopped IoT for the rest of us in its tracks. Industrial IoT is doing great—data collection is the point for the customer. But the consumer electronics business model does not mesh with the expected lifespan of home products, and so enshittification began as soon as those first warranties ran out.

How can we reset the expectations we have of connected devices, so that they are again worthy of our trust and money? Before we can bring the promise back, we must deweaponize the technology.

Guidelines for the hardware producer

What we can do as engineers and business owners is make sure the stuff we’re building can’t be wielded as a lever against our own customers, and to show consumers how things could be. These are things we want consumers to expect and demand of manufacturers.

Control

Think local

Decouple

Open interfaces

Be a good citizen

1) Control over firmware updates.

You scream, “What about security updates!” But a company taking away a feature you use or requiring personal data for no reason is arguably a security flaw. 

We were once outraged when intangible software products went from something that remained unchanging on your computer, to a cloud service, with all the ephemerality that term promises. Now they’re coming for our tangible possessions.

No one should be able to do this with hardware that you own. Breaking functionality is entirely what security updates are supposed to prevent! A better checklist for firmware updates:

Allow users to control when and what updates they want to apply. 

Be thorough and clear as to what the update does and provide the ability to downgrade if needed. 

Separate security updates from feature additions or changes. 

Never force an update unless you are sure you want to accept (financial) responsibility for whatever you inadvertently break. 

Consider that you are sending software updates to other people’s hardware. Ask them for permission (which includes respecting “no”) before touching their stuff!

2) Do less on the Internet.

A large part of the security issues with IoT products stem from the Internet connectivity itself. Any server in the cloud has an attack surface, and now that means your physical devices do.

The solution here is “do less”. All functionality should be local-only unless it has a really good reason to use the Internet. Remotely controlling your lights while in your own house does not require the cloud and certainly does not require an account with your personal information attached to it. Limit the use of the cloud to only the functions that cannot work without it.

As a bonus, less networked functionality means fewer maintenance costs for you.

3) Decouple products and services.

It’s fine to need a cloud service. But making a product that requires a specific cloud service is a guarantee that it can be enshittified at any point later on, with no alternative for the user owner. 

Design products to be able to interact with other servers. You have sold someone hardware and now they own it, not you. They have a right to keep using it even if you shut down or break your servers. Allow them the ability to point their devices to another service. If you want them to use your service, make it worthwhile enough for them to choose you.

Finally, if your product has a heavy reliance on the cloud to work, consider enabling your users to self-host their own cloud tooling if they so desire. A lot of people are perfectly capable of doing this on their own and can help others do the same.

4) Use open and standard protocols and interfaces.

Most networked devices have no reason to use proprietary protocols, interfaces, and data formats. There are open standards with communities and software available for almost anything you could want to do. Re-inventing the wheel just wastes resources and makes it harder for users to keep using their stuff after you’re long gone. We did this with Twine, creating an encrypted protocol that minimized chatter, because we needed to squeeze battery life out of WiFi back when there weren’t good options.

If you do have a need for a proprietary protocol (and there are valid reasons to do so):

Document it. 

If possible, have a fallback option that uses an open standard. 

Provide tooling and software to interact with your custom protocols, at the very least enough for open source developers to be able to work with it. This goes for physical interfaces as much as it does for cloud protocols.

If the interface requires a custom-made, expensive, and/or hard-to-find tool to use, then consider using something else that is commonly available and off the shelf instead.

5) Be a good citizen.

Breaking paid-for functionality on other people’s stuff is inherently unethical. Consider not doing this! Enshittification is not a technical problem, it is a behavioral one. Offer better products that are designed to resist enshittification, and resist it yourself in everything you do.

Nothing forced Philips to do what they are doing: a human made a decision to do it. They could have just as easily chosen not to. With Twine’s server lock-in, at least we chose to keep it running, for 12 years now. Consider that you can still make a decent living by being honest and ethical towards the people who are, by purchasing your products, paying for your lifestyle. 

We didn’t get here by accident. Humans made choices that brought us to this point, and we can’t blame anyone for being turned off by it. But we can choose to do better. We can design better stuff. And we can choose not to mess things up after the fact.

We’re putting this into practice with Pickup. (We also think that part of an IoT reset is giving users the creative freedom of a general-purpose device.) If you’re looking for something better and our product can fill a need you have, consider backing us. We cannot claim to be perfect or have all of the answers, but we are absolutely going to try. The status quo sucks. Let’s do something about it.

Fugitive!Luigi Series Part 4 1607w Action Adventure!

Summary: Luigi, Ben, and Mateo are asked to fix a communications issue between revolutionary groups in different cities. They have the expertise in CS to make it happen. It's selling it, that's the hard part.

Warnings: dialogue

December 6, 2024

The main meeting room smells like something that used to be alive and isn’t anymore. Maybe a rat. Maybe several rats..

It's a converted utility space, big enough for a long metal table, a few chairs, and a single, flickering overhead bulb that’s giving it its best shot. The walls are concrete, cracked in places, and the whole thing looks like it used to be a janitor’s break room before the world started ending. There’s a big dry-erase board on one wall, mostly blank except for a list of names and a crude map of the East Coast.

And across from us, the guys in charge.

There’s three of them, but only one who actually feels like the leader. Big guy, military stance, mid-40s, looks like he’s survived more than one close call. His name’s Darius.

The other two are Victor and Hassan. Victor looks like a construction worker. Broad shouldered, tattoos on his forearms, the kind of guy who probably knows how to use a blowtorch. Hassan’s leaner, quieter, but his eyes give him away. More than likely ex-military, maybe intel. The guy watches people too closely to be anything else.

Finally, Darius exhales, rubs a hand over his face. “Alright,” he says. “Fine. You’re here now. We need people. You stay, you work. You don’t like it, you leave. That simple.”

“Work,” I repeat.

“Yeah. And no offense but you three don’t exactly look like the manual labor type.”

I look at Mateo who looks at Ben who definitely looks offended by that statement.

“We have strengths in other areas.” Mateo throws in.

“Hopefully something we can use. There is one problem we’re trying to find a solution for.” he pauses, “maybe you could help us out.”

Now that gets my attention. I lean forward. “Go on.”

Darius exchanges a glance with Victor to his right, who nods slightly. Then he looks back at us. “We tried to set up communication with NYC a few days ago,” he says. “Didn’t go well. Whatever’s left of the internet… isn’t very safe. They got sloppy with communication and—“

“They got intercepted before they made it across the river. Two guys dead.” Hassan says flatly.

I glance at Mateo. He raises an eyebrow. Ben shifts uncomfortably.

“They must have been listening in,” says Hassan. “Tracking us somehow. We don’t know how deep they’ve got surveillance running, but if we keep trying to send runners, we’re just sending guys on a suicide mission.”

He’s right. Traditional communication methods are useless right now. The internet is barely functional, if at all. Anything digital is either monitored, unreliable, or both.

“So you need a better system,” I say.

Darius nods. “Yeah. Something secure. Something that can’t be intercepted.”

I can finally exhale, because I’ve already got a solution in mind.

Mateo, somehow, is already on the same page. He shifts forward, eyes bright. “You thinking what I’m thinking, Lou?”

“Probably.”

Darius squints. “You wanna let the rest of us in on it?”

I glance at Mateo. Mateo glances at me. Then he gestures, as if to say, go on, man.

I clear my throat.

“A mesh network,” I say. “A self-sustaining, decentralized communication system that doesn’t rely on ISPs, cell towers, or anything we don’t control. We set it up, and it’s ours. Government can’t shut it down, can’t intercept it without serious work. It lets us talk securely across cities, across states, without getting people killed in the process.”

“And you can build it?” Hassan asks.

I nod. “If I have the right hardware.”

“What kind of hardware?”

“Servers.”

Silence. I realize it isn’t ringing a bell.

I clarify, “Fancy computer parts.”

“And where do we get that?”

I'm trying not to smile. I lean forward.

“UPenn,” I say. “The CS department. The server room.”

Mateo lets out a low whistle. Ben blinks. Darius just watches me.

“It might already be looted,” Victor warns.

“Maybe,” I admit. “But if it’s not? We walk in, I pull together everything we need, and we roll out with the start of a functioning network.” Hassan looks at Darius. Darius looks back at him. Then he looks at me.

“…And you know where this server room is?”

I grin.

“Buddy,” I say, “I used to live in there.”

-------------------------------------------------

We take I-95 South, or what’s left of it.

Newark wasn’t exactly thriving, but Philly? Philly looks bad.

Newark at least had some essentials standing, and at least you could say the city blocks were intact structurally. I cannot say the same for Philly. Entire chunks of buildings look like they've had a big bite taken out of them.

There’s something about Philly… some kind of deep, ancestral commitment to destruction that makes the whole city feel like it’s always one bad day away from collapse. Theyre always smashing windows after an Eagles win or loss. There’s a general understanding this city was meant to be broken.

“This place is a fucking war zone,” Ben mutters.

“It’s Philly,” Mateo says. “This is how it’s always been.”

Ben is visibly nervous, again. Rifling through his backpack looking for nothing in particular. He’s got some neurodivergent flavor to him that's soothed by tactile repetition.

i ignore them both and focus on the actual problem—which is finding the resistance headquarters without getting shot on sight.

Because we have no idea where it is.

Newark had an organized leadership. Philly? Philly’s different. Less structure. More scattered factions. More places to die if you show up unannounced. We make it to a dead end. Theres a few symbols spray painted on the sides of buildings i don't recognize. But at least it isn't fascist.

“Alright,” I say, exhaling. “How do we find the guys in charge without getting riddled with bullets?”

Mateo grins. “Easy. We let them find us.”

Ben turns slowly. “What.”

And before anyone can stop him, Mateo leans out of the window and fires off two gunshots into the air.

CRACK. CRACK.

Silence. Then—movement.

---------------------------------------------

We get out of the car. It doesn't take long before someone comes out of the ruins.

He’s tall, maybe 6’5, lean, wearing a patched-up tactical vest and a Sixers hoodie. His rifle’s resting but ready, not quite pointed at us, but close enough.

“Explain why I shouldn’t put a bullet in you.”

I raise my hands. Cool, calm, let’s not die here.

“We’re from Newark. We’re looking for a resistance group.”

The guy snorts. “Which one?”

“We’re looking for the guys who actually get shit done,” I say.

Sixers Hoodie squints. Then—he recognizes something.

Or someone.

“You,” he says, pointing at Mateo. “I’ve seen you before.”

Mateo tilts his head. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.” Sixers Hoodie looks him over again, then scoffs. “You were the psycho running guns through Camden before all this went to shit, weren’t you?”

Mateo grins wider. “Still am, baby.”

And just like that, the mood shifts.

He doesn't exactly trust us, but Mateo’s recognizable enough that he decided not to kill us immediately. Which is great, because I hate getting shot at. Sixers hoodie has us follow him through a series of office hallways that lead into the center of the building, which is the only part structurally sound.

Inside, it’s a mix of military types, former street guys, and people who just refuse to die. It’s a different vibe than Newark– rougher, more desperate. We shuffle into what seems to be another old meeting room, with mismatched swivel chairs and collapsible tables lining the walls. Each one overflowing with specialized guns and ammo that i hadn't seen available at the Newark base.

One guy, a sandy blonde kid probably my age with a plethora of shitty tattoos– turns around when we come in.

“You guys ever heard of the radio?” Sixers Hoodie leans his rifle against a side table and sits in a metal chair that groans under his weight. “Didn’t tell us you were coming.”

Ben steps in, voice level. “Didn’t have a choice. Radio comms are compromised. Newark tried reaching NYC before. The message got intercepted. People died.”

The two guys share a look.

Mateo continues. “That’s why we’re here. We’re gonna fix it.”

“And you think you can do that?”

“Well,” i interject, “we think we can build something more secure and efficient.���

That gets their attention.

The sandy haired guy sighs and sits down. “You’re talking mesh networking, right?”

I nod. “You know what that is?”

“Enough to know we don’t have the equipment to make it work.”

“Yeah, well. The hardware isn’t exactly lying around. But we know where to get it.”

Sixers, we’ll call him, eyes me. “Where?”

“UPenn.”

That gets actual laughter from the two of them.

“You serious?” The first guy asks. “UPenn’s fucked. That whole area got hit bad. Looters, military sweeps—there’s nothing left.”

I don’t say anything.

Because I know. I know how universities work. I know the kinds of places people forget to check when they’re looting Best Buys and grocery stores.

“We think it's worth it.” Ben says with his chest– trying to sell the idea.

Sixers sighs. “Look, you want to go dig through the ruins, be my guest. But we’re not wasting time on a suicide run.”

I expected that.

But I also know one thing they don’t.

I know server rooms are built to last. They’re locked down and nearly impossible to break into, hidden in basements or behind security doors. And UPenn? They weren’t just running a few computers in a lab– they had real infrastructure, real enterprise-level servers that nobody was thinking about when they started setting cars on fire.

I know it’s there.

I can feel it.

[dolorum-magne]

never seen over the garden wall, do you think you could explain it a little and how it relates to your au? :)

You bet!

This will have spoilers for the shows plot, and possibly some slight spoilers for the comics. Might be pretty obvious, but just thought I'd add a disclaimer and a "read more" button anyways, just in case ^^

So, Over The Garden Wall was a cartoon network 10 episode long miniseries written by Patrick McHale that aired in November 2014.

A short plot synopsis of the show is that 2 brothers (Wirt and Greg) who get lost in a strange forest called The Unknown with no memory of how they got there, and throughout the show are trying to find their way home. They're joined by several other characters throughout the series, such as Beatrice- a talking bluebird , and the woodsman- a strange man with a weird attachment to a lantern that he keeps lit and warns the brothers that they need to leave the woods as soon as possible and to "beware The Beast" , The Beast being the is the main antagonist of the story. (who I think is the scariest cartoon villain ever btw hes so spooky)

Things just get stranger and darker as the show goes on.

There's a lot of interesting plot points in the show, characters they meet, and places they go throughout, but I don't want to spoil the whole thing so I wont go into too much detail about what exactly happens, but I do want to go into more depth on the characters, and then explain how the themes and characters of the show mesh with marble hornets in the au :)

So starting off with the main protagonists of the show, Wirt and Greg. Wirt is Gregs older brother (its never said exactly how old they are, but we do know that Wirt is in highschool, if I had to make a guess on their ages I would place Wirt somewhere between the ages of 14 and 15, and Greg somewhere between the ages of 8 and 10 personally)

Wirt is very anxious, and somewhat of a pessimistic realist, easily spooked and surprised, and I would say he has low self esteem. Greg is his younger half-brother and throughout the show while its obvious he cares very much about him, he does seem to hold some resentment, blaming him for them getting lost, and for things going wrong. Greg is the exact opposite of his older brother, very optimistic, outgoing, and confident and throughout brings out a more playful and jovial side to Wirt. He's much more intelligent than others give him credit for and often comes up with solutions to their problems.

None of the characters fit them exactly, but I plan to have Jay and Tim as the main protagonists of the story. Aspects of Wirt and Gregs characters will probably be mixed up in both, but I mostly want to try and keep their characterizations as they are in marble hornets.(though slightly different as this au actually takes place while they're all in college, so Tim will at least at first be slightly more closed off, and Jay will probably be less paranoid as an example.) I just think it would be very interesting to put them in that same situation, and I already have ideas on specific interactions I want between them.

Next up is Beatrice.

Beatrice is very emotionally closed off and secretive at first, but is a smart and headstrong character throughout, and throughout the show her relationship with the brothers evolves a lot. She convinces the boys to come with her to see "Adelaide of the Pasture - The good woman of the woods" claiming that she will help them get home. Part way through we learn that Beatrice was actually human once, but threw a rock at a bluebird and a witch cursed her and her whole family to become bluebirds, and she wont return to her family until she finds a way to turn them back. She made a deal with Adelaide that if she lured a child to her home to be her servant, then Adelaide would give her a pair of magic scissors, with which they could snip away their feathers and become human again. I find her a very interesting character, especially as her character develops throughout the show and she becomes more attached to the brothers.

I think Jessica would fit well here, as I like the idea of her joining Jay and Tim as they journey through The Unknown, and I think the characters personalities could fit well together.

Now the woodsman.

I'm probably the most proud of how this character concept will fit into the au.

The woodsman's job is to cut down the "Edelwood" trees (hollow twisted trees that seem to have faces), grind them into an oil, and use said oil to keep the lantern lit. The reason he constantly warns the boys of The Beast, telling them to not give up hope and to make it home as fast as they can, is because the woodsman knows The Beast personally. The "dark lantern" he carries actually belongs to The Beast, whom he struck a deal with. The woodsman believes that his daughter is dead, and that The Beast killed her, and tells the woodsman that he can put her soul into the lantern, and as long as he keeps it lit, that she will live on inside. The Beast stalks those who are lost and far from home, and if you give up hope, or fall ill in his woods, he turns them into trees. Specifically into Edelwood trees to be ground up and used as fuel for the lantern.

While he doesn't find out what the trees used to be until the end of the show and has his final confrontation with The Beast, he knows The Beast has it out for the boys and tries to point them away from it throughout, but they don't trust him because of his strange behavior and because of what they hear about the lantern he carries (a tavern keeper tells them "he who carries the dark lantern must be the beast." when talking about the beast, and bring up the woodsman at the mention of the lantern).

He later learns what the edelwood trees actually are, and also that his daughters soul was never in the lantern to begin with and that it was really The Beasts soul all along. At the very end, during the final credits we learn that his daughter was never even dead to begin with! That she was alive, and all that time she had been waiting at their family home for him to return, the home he never returned to once he was tricked by The Beast, unable to bring himself to return to it, believing it to be completely empty.

While he does technically work with The Beast, he outright despises it and does what he believes is best. For this reason, I think Alex fits perfectly here, and that he carries the lantern because he believes that Amy's soul is inside.

There are a few timeline things I need to work out because of this though, as in the show no time passes in the real world between when Wirt and Greg leave their own world (explaining as briefly as I can because this post is already so long lol, Wirt and Greg actually tumbled down a hill and land in a lake and fall unconscious. The Unknown is, as best as I can explain it, sort of a parallel world/limbo somewhere between life and death, Presumably, if they gave up hope and were claimed by The Beast and never made it home they would have drowned. Its very complicated and we actually still have absolutely no idea what The Unknown itself is, but we do know for certain that everything that happened there was real, and not just some strange dream.. although, they can and do visit the unknown in their dreams in the comics? Its very confusing lol) but Alex is obviously from Jay and Tims world, and would have been there for much longer than they were. I'm still unsure how he and Amy would have ended up there in the first place, or exactly how they were separated, but currently, I think that when the story starts from Jay and Tim's perspective, Amy and Alex probably mysteriously disappeared a week or two ago, and from Amy and Alex's perspectives they would have been stuck in the unknown for months.

Finally, The Beast.

I already explained most of what The Beast is above when talking about the woodsman. He's a silhouette in the shadows, singing eerily into the night to lure people too their dooms. The forest is his domain, and everything in it is his prey, and all who live there know this and fear him. He's also highly manipulative and deceitful.

one quote specifically sticks out to me that I think sums up how he acts very well is:

"No. There is only me. There is only my way. There is only the forest, and there is only surrender."

The character of the Beast is just perfect for The Operator. I considered possibly trying to mix the two but I think I may just keep The Beast as is, as its just too perfect. Also, I think that if the Operator had a voice and could speak, it would 100% sound like The Beast.

Collection of The Beasts voicelines in the show in case you're curious.

Btw, fun fact, the guy who voices him isn't actually a professional voice actor, hes an opera singer. I just think its very cool

There are a few other characters I'm still working on including in the story (mainly Brian/hoodie, but explaining that reaches more into comic territory and its difficult trying to work out how to blend the ideas in the comic and the show together.)

Anyways, that's the gist of the au, and about Over the Garden Wall itself! I cant recommend this show enough, its one of my all time favorite shows and I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you're into that kind of thing! Thanks for asking about it!

Apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes, and for the length of this post lol. Grammar is not my strong suit and this took me about 3.5 hours to type up lol

if anyone has any other questions about the au, please ask me, I would love to answer them or hear any feedback/ideas!! Really if anyone has anything to say about this au at all, please tell me ^^

hope you have a lovely day/night!!

[tetvashatalren]

Introducing a spell type I've been developing for a while: Mana Weaves.

As an introduction, a Mana Weave is working on the Principal of Mana's Centrality, or the idea that Mana is the substance of magic, and the matter your soul is made of. Under this philosophy, the process of casting spells of any kind is understood to be an act of Mana Manipulation. In the Mana Manipulation framework of practice, the Law of Three Fold applies, though I've found in my own experience that there are two ways to cast: cast with the ambient Mana in the environment, or cast with your own Mana, and the universe is much less quick to smack you if you cast from your own Mana.

Problem: I need to science up my magic by compulsion, I need to understand and iterate, but that takes a lot of Mana to use.

Solution: Mana Weave creates a bubble of partially your Mana and partially the ambient Mana, and it amplifies it in a contained work station in three dimensional space.

Setup: (only necessary to do once per wand)Take a dedicated wand and meditate, focus on bonding the wand to you so you can feel it as a part of your Mana essence. For this to work, this wand must be made so close as to feel like another organ in your soul's body. Then, find a point on your wand and ensure it is a point where you can easily place your index finger on on your dominant hand and hold it there for extended periods of time. (If you've played VRChat and used the markers, this is the rough visualization you're going for.) Focus your Mana from your belly and visualize it following a path around your heart and down your arm, into your hand and wand, then draw that path out from the tip of the wand. This is to give a focusing point. After creating that path, focus on moving the line where your fingertip rests in 3D Space to instead be bonded to your fingertip. Then, once the line is set, focus on cutting the points either side of the wand so that the path is a broken circuit. Once the connection is severed, that point where the line is bonded to your finger lets you complete the circuit and allow Mana Flow in a controlled way.

NOTE: Ensure you draw that Mana line through the point where your finger will rest on the wand and ensure that point is not at the tip of the wand.

Function: Ley lines naturally firm when Astral Caves flow near enough the Physical Plane for Mana to flow thick through the planar barrier. Over time it creates a selfperpetuating cycle of Mana from the Astral and Physical Planes blend and create a vortex. This vortex flow creates a field that sucks in Mana and amplifies it's energy output, or a "Locational Mana Density Shifting Field" that increases the Mana Density of an area that functions as a storage location, and thus amplifies the output energy draw and thus stronger magic you can cast. This weave functions by creating an artificial network of Ley lines in an ordered and repeated pattern as opposed to the more chaotic and random patterns of the natural ones. This allows the field it creates to be stronger and more structurally sound while being shrunken down.

Procedures: Take your wand and draw a mesh in 3D Space, then draw a circle around it while focusing your intention on bonding the mesh into a solid three dimensional weave. After this, you can draw circles in the air and draw Glyphs inside them. When creating the circles, focus your intention on letting what's put inside move as one piece that can jigsaw into place with other circles. (This last part is the foundation of my craft. All of my spells are comprised of Sigil Glyphs that can work together as building blocks. Think molecules and letters for how this modular images system interlocks together.) Place each Glyph in the weave and the Glyphs will draw from the Mana your weave draws in from both the environment and from you. The weave creates a self contained bubble that gives a space of super strong amplified Mana output, but fully workable as a work station safe enough for novices to practice most lone witch spells. After you place the Glyphs into position, place the Mana Weave in it's place wherever the spell requires, and then you just put a tiny bit of your own Mana into the weave to activate it.

Example Spell: Potection of My Soul

Cast Mana Weave around head and place the Glyphs inside, then grip the weave and mold it to your head shape, ensuring it is completely immersing your head in the Mana Weave boundary. Doing this ensures the effected enclosed space creates a saturation therapy of sorts and ensures that the spell is saturating your head, amplifying it and ensuring it's effects permeate your flesh.

Russia begins to paint silhouettes of its aircraft on the runways

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/01/2023 - 20:55 in Military, War Zones

At Russian military airfields, painted silhouettes of Tu-95MS strategic bombers appeared on the ground. The Russian military uses this technique as a countermeasure to deceive Ukrainian drones.

Satellite images of Engels military airport in the Russian region of Saratov, where the Tu-95MS bombers are stationed, caught the attention of several observers.

The experts who analyzed these images assumed that the Russian military began to use instrumental baits. They paint silhouettes of bombers on the runway of their air base.

Paintings of airplane silhouettes were pointed out as examples, with a photo showing the white contour of an airplane clearly displayed on the ground. It is speculated, however, that these are unfinished baits. Additional details, such as shadows, can be incorporated to increase realism, making the representation look remarkably genuine.

Images from Planet Labs satellites reveal two-dimensional baits on the Engels track. These baits closely mimic the distinct shape of the definitive four-engine bomber, up to the cabin area painted black. A second unfinished bait painting was found near an already completed one.

It is worth mentioning that they can be discreet fabrics / screens or other form of bait. But considering the minimum vertical dimension, it is highly likely that paint has been used for these illusions.

Experts emphasize, however, that such tactics are unlikely to deceive space satellites with their superior tracking capabilities. Drones, on the other hand, have a good chance of being deceived.

The new defense strategy of the Russian military includes the use of car tires to protect planes. These tires, placed on the fuselage and wings, provide an additional layer of protection against attacks by Ukrainian drones.

The use of tires as a defense mechanism debuted in August, after which satellite images further verified this new counter-strategy.

The latest images highlight the new Russian hangars built to protect aircraft from possible drone attacks. Shared on the social network Telegram, the photos suggest a provisional method or a solution currently under test. Aircraft nested in these improvised hangars are usually models of Russian fighters or deactivated planes.

Rows of metal columns run along the wingspan of the planes, with additional columns reinforced with a 45-degree inclination. An infusion of metal beams strengthens these columns, which cross each side of the hangar at a 45-degree angle.

The hangars are crowned by a cross mesh, which provides the aircraft's primary shield against kamikaze drone attacks. This tactic seems inspired by the first war practices of involving heavy ground combat vehicles with protective metal grids or homemade cages.

Due to the incursions of Ukrainian drones, the Russian command had to retreat strategic aircraft to the interior of the country, well out of reach of drones launched from Ukrainian territory. However, the potential threat of missile attacks elucidates why no defensive measure is considered surplus.
