    The first screen capture is from KDE Neon on my HP Stream 11, and the second screen capture is from Arch (November 2018).

KDE Neon Deets:

Starcraft theme found in the “Look and feel” section of KDE Plasma’s settings.  Cursor is the Breeze cursor, also found in the settings.  Guake Terminal is set to about 60-80% transparency (I’d say 75%).

Arch Linux Deets:

Deepin DE.  Gauke Terminal’s transparency is set to about 60-80% (I’d say 75%), using the built-in dark theme, ePapirus icons and the wallpaper is from my best friend /u/imagelessbean – who takes some pretty awesome pictures.

Implying That I'm Part of The Problem.

Implying That I’m Part of The Problem.

Comment 1:

Selective memory about their own behavior?  Didn’t provide any sauce, it’s not really worth mulling this over.

Comment 2:

Posting memes makes me a part of the problem, since when are memes a political tool/weapon?  They’re not.

Comment 3:

Somehow I’m adding to the problem by stirring the pot and playing up the fake outrage.  Got it.  People are JUST BELIEVING HER – that’s the whole…

Adding To The (Fake) Harassment

Adding To The (Fake) Harassment

New York Times I

Six months after giving the heave-ho to an opinion writer over her insensitive social media comments, The New York Times is standing by Sarah Jeong, its newly hired lead technology scribe on the editorial side, despite the racist skeletons in her Twitter feed.

So the N.Y.T. swapped one racist for another.  This is going to be an interesting post to unpack and examine.

In a…

"Uh yeah, no."

“Uh yeah, no.”

In class tonight, we were working on two lab assignments, in the first one we had to share a file to another computer through a router and then in the other we had to get a screenshot of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) being configured.  We had to use a router provided by the professor, in order to complete these labs.  My group just had a faulty piece of equipment, and…

Leftists & Gulags

Overview of The Gulag

According to The History Channel – the gulag was a system of forced labor camps established during Joseph Stalin’s reign as dictator of the Soviet Union.  The world “gulag” is an acronym of “Glavnoe Upraveline Lagerei”, or Main Camp Administration.  These infamous prisons incarcerated about eighteen million (18,000,000) people throughout their history, were in operation from…

Otep: Kult 45 - Thoughts On Selected Songs

Otep: Kult 45 – Thoughts On Selected Songs

Halt Right

This song is exactly what it sounds like – a play on the term “Alt-Right” which was as a way to describe anybody who wasn’t a rabid Leftist initially during the 2016 election, and the following months (that is, from 2016 until now).  The lyrics can be summed up as repetitive – asking stupid questions about America/it’s greatness, and calling for “resistance”.

This is the resistance…

Furries & NASA

I never thought that I’d talk about furries, but here I am.  These…  Degenerates…  Have launched (and successfully) carried out a harassment campaign against a legendary NASA engineer and author – Homer Hickam– driving him from Twitter and forcing him to delete his blog.  He politely reminded a furry named “Naomi” who had just received an internship at NASA that she had to watch her language. …

Android-x86 I'm going to be experimenting with Android-x86 in a VM to see what all it can do - according to DistroWatch, it's a computer compatible port of the Android OS - which could mean that it will give me access to using Android software from inside a VM - would be incredibly useful in playing mobile games (go figure).

Arch: Virtualbox

Specifications of the my Arch installation, according to uname -a and screenfetch – next we’re going to take a look virtualbox, and the issues that it’s giving me here.

As shown here, it will open up as the superuser (root level user) with no problems.  However when I try to open it as my normal user (admin) it returns this (and segmentation fault):

It was suggested to me (on Reddit) that I do…

EDITOR POST: I

I want to preface this post by saying that there could be a few more of these posts coming in after this – just in the future – overall.

So [riot_laptop], henceforth Riot, claims that [havires] (me, The Editor) is a chronic doxxer and security researcher.  Riot got onething right – I am in fact a security researcher.  So Riot goes on to say that I’ve been banned on “several networks” – when the…

Ransomware

CryptoLocker

This attack was first seen in 2013, and set the stage for what ransomware is on a grand scale.  It was spread via attachments to spam messages, and used RSA public key encryption to seal up user files, demanding cash (as shown in the above screen capture).  Jonathan Penn, Director of Strategy at Avast, notes that it’s height in late 2013 and early 2014, over half a million (500,000)…

Vox & The Chinese

Vox & The Chinese

According to Pawl Bazile– news website Vox has received payoffs from a Communist Party organization fronted by the Chinese government.  Vox published a blog by Yochi Draezon called “The big winner of the Trump-Kim summit?  China.”  The foreign editor revealed at the bottom of the article that the story was paid for by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).  At the bottom of the…

Illegal Immigration

The seeds for this post were planted in a discussion I had with some colleagues recently – and online over the last few months – where I’ve argued (it feels like, at least online) until I’m blue in the face that illegal immigration is exactly that – meaning things like DACA being slowed down, and ICE doing their job are signs that this country is moving in the right (heh) direction.  I’ve been…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

EDITOR’S NOTE: Alright folks, we had the better idea of compiling everything into one post – so that it could be added to, and considered our first long handed piece on this rising “star” of The Left.

“Seckshual Hurrassmunt!”

Earlier this week Daily Wire Editor in Chief Ben Shapiro offered to donate ten thousand dollars (10,000.00$) to New York Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s…

Asia Argento

Editor’s Note: No I haven’t been effected by this movement (read as: witch hunt), I figured why not jump in and say something about this myself?

Asia Argento, the one who started the #MeToo movement by initially accusing Harvey Weinstein, has her own set of bones which show that she’s just as much of a monster as she claims Harvey Weinstein to be.  This underage actor claims that Asia Argento…

"Mansplaining" (Oh God!)

“Mansplaining” (Oh God!)

Does anybody else (but us) see the stupidity in this?

  Kim Goodwin believes that the “-splaining” part of “mansplaining” comes down to three factors:

Do they want the explanation?

Are you making bad assumptions about competence?

How does bias  affect your interpretation of the above?

One

Another site (listed “Two) here says that women also deal with “six subtle forms of mansplaining every…

Getting Something Off My Chest

Alright. After listening to this tribute and thinking about mental health, I have something to get off my chest - in a rare moment of non-shitposting honesty. Outside of like 5 people on my friends list, it occurs to me that I could message you about some real shit or lay it all bare and a lot of you would leave me on “read” or give me stupid ass one liner bullshit.

Which is sad, because it shows there’s a lack of connection between people - and I can honestly say that none of you, except those 5 people would give a shit. A few weeks ago it was the 12 year anniversary of my losing someone I was close to. I was one of that person’s close circle.

Sure I have a lot of “connections” but no real friends. Fuckin’ pathetic. The Gods above and below be amazed that I even considered posting this. I do have an image to maintain.

Sometimes I find myself getting into a funk, like a pseudo-depression and I start thinking about who I can reach out to, and I look at the list of contacts on my phone and on Facebook I have who aren’t family or related and I realize that 5 people out of a combined 300 and something are reliable.  What the fuck is wrong with that picture?

Chester Bennington, you’ll be missed.
