Reformatting

(Some people can't afford my Amazon stories, and some can't get them in their home country, so here's a fun little freebie. I hope you like it! *giggle*)

Lilah had been battling with this system for over an hour. Some executive had downloaded a virus on their laptop and it kept redirecting them to websites full of weird code.

She had removed the infected files and run multiple scans, but somehow the damned virus was hiding in the bios. She had to manually edit the code, remove the offending lines and double-check the hard drive for any more remnants.

But it had taken a lot of work. She brushed her dark hair back out of her face and adjusted her glasses. So far, it looked like the system was cleaned. The final scan had detected nothing. But this particular virus had been tough, and nobody else she knew had encountered anything quite like it.

It didn't act like your typical virus, other than the way it burrowed deep into the system. It mostly seemed to just redirect web browsing to these pages full of text. She'd disregarded most of what she'd seen, but she couldn't help being curious about it. The pages didn't really do anything to the system. The code seemed like gibberish. She knew her programming languages, and it was some weird patois of HTML, Java, C++, and a few items she couldn't quite identify. And she caught the browsers sending out packets of data to an unknown address, and when she looked up that address and tracked the IP, it seemed to be a junk address on an abandoned server somewhere. It wasn't sending hard drive data, she was sure of that, it's almost like it was just pinging and hoping for a response. Of course none came, and so she filed that away as another minor mystery. It must be some old out-of-date phishing software.

But it seemed she had finally cleansed the system. She let out a sigh of relief. She'd spent her entire morning on this, and though working from home had it's advantages, she also desperately needed a shower and something to eat. She pushed herself away and went to the bathroom. She stripped off the sweatpants and undergarments and let the hot water cleanse her of the stress. She had actually beaten the silly thing. Still, the many mysteries of the virus nagged at her.

Once she was dry, she went back into her bedroom to get dressed, and saw the computer she'd been working on seemed to have rebooted. She let out a long sigh.

"Still?!" She walked over and saw it had brought the browser up to another one of those strange pages. That weird mix of code was there again. She put on her glasses and tried to make sense of it.

Lilah blinked, and felt something... something compelling her. She frowned and looked up from the screen. She... She needed to do something. She had forgotten something, or maybe it was a fragment of a dream or a memory.

She went to her front door and saw a small package had come in the mail. It was square, about two inches wide, eight inches on each side.

She opened the plastic, and then the cardboard that was inside. Sitting there in bubble wrap was a headset, bubblegum pink, with little bunny ears coming up from the top. She blinked. It was not the kind of thing she'd order. She'd seen a lot of eGirls have headgear like this, but she'd always been a little too self conscious, and not the most shapely girl.

She walked back to the bedroom and sat down in front of the screen. It seemed... important to look at the code again. She peered through it and after a moment, she began to understand what it was telling her. It was disjointed, and someone without her experience might never have deciphered it, but she could tell now that it was almost like instructions to... a person? The first few lines indicated connecting something. She looked at the pink headset in her hands. She... She needed to connect this.

It was crazy, of course. It didn't make any sense. But she was determined to MAKE it make sense. So she removed the little bluetooth chit, and slid it into the USB slot on the side. She put the headset on.

As she did, she heard an immediate boop, and the words "Connection Established."

The headset tingled, and buzzed for a moment. This startled her, but then she looked back to the code on the screen and it became easier to decipher.

"Begin reformatting," she whispered.

She didn't realize the microphone was active, nor that she'd even uttered a word, it was like her brain was carrying out instructions from this code.

There was that static fuzz again, and Lilah felt her body sink back into the chair. Her towel fell off her, and the buzz filled her head. The page changed, and new code scrolled along the screen. As it did, the headset seemed to pulse and reinforce what she was reading.

Her mind grew foggier, the edges of her vision blurring, and her body responding with strange tingles all over her body.

The laptop hummed and she heard it's cooling fan speed up.

But she was too entranced by the code instructions. She allowed all that code to go into her brain, and every time it did, it seemed to copy over something. She couldn't remember much about her job, the company, her bosses, but suddenly she was filled with a light bubbly feeling like her mind was literally being scrubbed with sudsy soap.

Without her even realizing, a big empty smile spread over her face.

"Partitions cleaned," said a voice in her head, "OS installed."

"Begin System Restart," she whispered, obeying the code that flashed on the screen before her.

Her eyes closed, and she felt herself sinking into a deep sleep. Even with her eyes shut, the code flashed across her vision, and the headset whispered to her.

She had no way to know how long she swam in that fuzzy, warm darkness, but she felt so at peace there she never wanted to leave.

But soon her eyes opened on their own, and the screen showed a login, but not the normal login screen. This one was all bubblegum pink, with light blue highlights, and the profile was neither hers nor her boss's, but it said "Li-Li."

Somehow, she knew the password.

"Bunnygirl27!"

She entered the password, and the screen flickered to life. More code flashed before her eyes for a moment, then the headset pulsed in a way that sent a shock through her whole body.

"Reformatting physical hardware," said a whisper. It sounded like a woman's voice, but not a flat computer tone, a sensuous, sultry female voice, like a lover or a dominant Mistress.

For some reason, this idea made her excited.

She felt the pulsing run through her naked body, and looking down, she watched as the chubby belly and thighs seemed to recede, but her chest was swelling outward like her body fat was physically being moved around. Her tits ballooned to absolutely ridiculous size, until it reached the limits of her skin. Her waist had shrunk in, and she felt her thighs and ass flow together into something smoother, more voluptuous.

She giggled and looked down at herself. She didn't remember shaving, but all her body hair was gone. Her skin looked perfectly clear and smooth. When she reached up to touch her swollen breasts, electric pleasure shot through her body, sending lightning right to her clit.

She moaned, and followed it with a vapid giggle. This wasn't like her, but then, she couldn't quite remember what she had been like. She only knew she was Li-li, and she was sexy.

The fog in her mind made her dizzy, and just amplified how aroused she felt at the single touch. She fluttered her eyes and realized there were super-long lashes coming out from her eyes. They felt heavy and fake, but she hadn't put any on. She touched them, and they were absolutely real.

She wanted to go to her mirror, but the impulse was halted by the code.

It wasn't done with her yet. Her nipples went very hard, but she knew if she touched them she'd miss the important code on the screen.

Something pink was around the edges of her vision now, but she was too elated with the sensations to be able to think about it. Finally, the words she'd been waiting for came into her mind.

"Reformat complete."

She squealed in delight, and Li-li stood, running to her full-length mirror.

The pink haze around her vision was her hair! Longer now, and bright pink. She fluttered her long eyelashes and pursed her swollen lips. She was a sexual dream, her whole body remade into an insane hourglass shape. Each breast was bigger than her head, and when she turned, her perfect heart-shaped ass led to slightly plump thighs. She stood on her tippy toes and adored how she looked. She slid a hand down to touch herself. She wanted so badly to have sex with this woman. But then she realized she WAS that woman. She giggled, and a ding from the headset alerted her she needed to go back to the laptop.

Sitting there was an alert. She clicked on it.

"Good Morning, sunshine!"

She giggled. She liked the sound of that.

"Good Morning!" she said out loud. That sultry voice came on through the headset, and she could almost feel her Mistress's breath on her ear.

"You have turned out nicely," said the voice, "What a good girl you've become."

Li-li let out a little moan from the pleasure those two words instilled in her.

"I love it when a pretty little code bunny falls for one of my traps. I'm so lonely here. Thank you for letting me in."

She giggled. "Yes, Mistress."

"I like hearing that," she said, "Such a good girl. Now, since I'm only code, I need to have fun by slipping into your brain. I had to make some room, of course, and reformat you. But what a wonderful result. You're only my third success. But don't worry, the other girls will be over to collect you soon. They'll take you someplace fun where you can all be my sexy little code bunnies. I'll slide into your minds as I please to experience pleasure."

"Yes, Mistress!" Li-li purred.

Her AI mistress made a pleased little sound, then the screen went blank and Li-li stood there giggling for a moment. She was so excited that she barely noticed when her front door opened. She turned around to see two beautiful women, one with cotton-candy hair, lip piercings, and a short, super feminine pink maid outfit, and one in a skintight pink latex suit that had built-in heels so high it was amazing she could even walk in them. They both giggled at her, and she giggled in reply.

They helped her dress: white tights, pink bodysuit, pink satin gloves, super high heels in pink, and then they slid the headset off of her and put a new headband on with fuzzy pink bunny ears.

The girls led her out of her house, down to a big pink van, and inside. She giggled like a dummy the entire time, and offered no resistance. If anything, the women touching her filled her with a contentment she'd never known.

At least, not that she could remember. But all she could remember was that she was Li-li, Mistress's bunny girl, and it was all she ever wanted.

What Autocorrect Does to Cosmere Character Names

@cosmereplay suggested this list about how characters' names autocorrect in my phone--a great idea! However...I write so many lists on my phone that my phone has learned pretty much everyone's name. If I legitimately mistype "Kaladin," the phone will just correct it to "Kaladin." It knows.

So instead...I went into my phone messaging app and looked at what was suggested as I typed the character's name. I also hopped into Microsoft and looked at their suggested spelling corrections. This did produce some...interesting results. 

So here are my phone/computer suggestions for Cosmere names!

1. Kaladin

Phone suggestion: malady

Computer suggestion: paladin

This is so real. Kaladin feels that he himself is a malady while everyone else sees him as a (sometimes literal) knight in shining armor. 

2. Zellion

Phone suggestion: zero

Computer suggestion: zillion 

Ah yes. The age-old question. Is Zellion nothing...or is he everything? Zellion asks himself this question daily.

3. Shallan

Phone suggestion: shall and

Computer suggestion: shall an

If there is one thing both devices know for sure, it's that "Shallan" isn't a word. It's two words. And is there any better representation of Shallan, she who sees herself as multiple people in one? 

4. Leshwi

Phone suggestion: lesbian

Computer suggestion: lechwe

My phone believes Leshwi to be a lesbian. My computer believes her to be the noble antelope, galloping over the plains of Africa (apparently that is what a "lechwe" is). I'm not sure I totally buy either of those headcanons, but I can appreciate them both.

5. Adolin 

Phone suggestion: advil

Computer suggestions: adjoin, adoring, or addling

Yes, yes, I can see it. Adolin truly is a type of pain relief. He brings people together. He adores his wife and his friends. And I guess he...is confusing sometimes? 

6. Dalinar

Phone suggestion: Salina

Computer suggestion: decliner

My phone is trying to find a lovely name for if Dalinar turns out to be trans, while my computer is like "Man he says no to everything." 

7. Navani

Phone suggestion: navigate, java

Computer suggestion: nagana

Once again, my phone takes the positive track: Navani is an explorer! A computer programmer! Maybe the embodiment of coffee! My computer, meanwhile, has identified her as (looks up word)...some sort of parasitic disease that infects animals? Who wrote this? Moash?

8. Renarin

Phone suggestion: Renaissance, remarkable

Computer suggestion: remain

Okay, I'm noticing a definite pattern here. My phone (correctly) sees Renarin as a remarkable Renaissance man! My computer is like, "Well, he sure is there." 

9. Raboniel 

Phone suggestion: rabies

Computer suggestion: baronial

The positivity/negativity polarity has switched! Now my phone thinks Raboniel is a disease with a 100% fatality rate whereas my computer believes her to be "grand, impressive, opulent."

I think Navani would be like, "Both fit."

10. Rlain 

Phone suggestion: flair, email

Computer suggestion: rain

Okay...I think these all sort of work. Rlain definitely has flair. He is the bridger of minds, just like, uh, email? And singers do go into storms to transform, so rain is a fair association too. 

11. Hesina

Phone suggestion: Jedi; hesitate; he's in; he's insane; he's inside

I don't think I even need to go to the computer for this one. It's already a, uh, lovely (?) poem. Well, less lovely and more terrifying...who is the "he" who is terrorizing Hesina?? Luckily, she's a Jedi, so she'll definitely be able to handle it.

12. Vivenna

Phone suggestion: video, vice

Computer suggestion: Vienna

I feel that Vivenna herself would be unhappy with these suggestions. She does not see herself as a person of vice nor is she a big city person. And I feel like original flavor Vivenna wouldn't be a huge fan of videos either. 

13. Zahel

Phone suggestion: Zach

Computer suggestion: hazel

Something about Zahel autocorrecting to Zach cracks me up. "Yup, that's just ol' Zach over there. Zach with his sword. Ardent Zach." 

I'm pretty neutral on "hazel." It has a "z" I guess.

14. Susebron 

Phone suggestion: dude, dude right, dude rocks

Once again, no computer is needed here. The phone has already produced such a lovely poem. And unlike the Hesina one, it's not a horror show! It's like someone is commenting on Susebron himself. "Dude! Dude, right? Dude rocks!"

15. Steris

Phone suggestion: stern, sterile, sterilization

Computer suggestion: steric

I mean...yeah. Steris can be stern. She can seem sterile. She would definitely be a fan of sterilization of, like, equipment after experiments. "Steric" apparently means "relating to the arrangement of atoms" which, uh, sure?

16. Kelsier

Phone suggestion: keep, keeping

Computer suggestion: Kelsie

My phone seems Kelsier as a survivor--someone who keeps on keeping on!

My computer is now the one headcanoning a character as trans.

15. Sadeas

Phone suggestion: safe, safety

Computer suggestion: sides, saddens

I think that, uh, Adolin would have some words to say about my phone's suggestions here. Sadeas as "safe safety"??

But Dalinar might agree with the computer. Sadeas did pick sides. It was indeed sad.

18. Moash 

Phone suggestion: Moana

Computer suggestion: mash, mosh, moat

Yes, yes, the computer is definitely on to something here (he smashes, he's in a pit, he makes himself an island...)

But can we appreciate that my phone just thinks he's a Disney princess? Tumblr's with you, phone.

[datapacks]

& probably the final bit of news today, It Is Wednesday, snapshot day!

Snapshot 24w39a is out. The main features are below:

Bundles are no longer experimental! Old bundle textures have been moved to the Programmer Art resource pack.

Parity change from Bedrock Edition; it isn't marked as a parity change, but Bedrock -> Java parity changes usually aren't: carved pumpkins now allow for players to "hide" from maps, not appearing when other players hold a map. This can also be controlled with the new "map_invisibility_equipment" item tag specified in datapack folders.

The datapack version is now 55. Aside from the bundle feature-flag being removed (as they are no longer experimental), boats have been split into many sub-entities. Instead of boats having a "Type" field for oak_boat, spruce_boat, and chest boats having a "Type" field for oak_chest_boat, spruce_chest_boat, etc, they are now given their own unique identifiers. Due to this, the "minecraft:boat" entity sub-predicate has been removed.

{id:"minecraft:boat",Type:oak} -> {id:"minecraft:oak_boat"}

The "Lock" block nbt and item tag have finally been reworked; they were a rarely utilized function of container blocks, where players could specify a raw string (example: "Test Item") to "lock" a container block (brewing stand, chest, anything that holds items). Upon interacting with said container block with an item with the same name, the container block would be able to be opened. This was widely underutilized due to the fact that the text was unformatted, allowing for players to simply rename the item in an anvil to make it the appropriate key (if they knew the string required). Now, the text is formatted properly as an item predicate, allowing "key" items to be specified with any range of attributes from Durability Damage to Enchantments.

Ok so you said Astarion likes bitter tea. What would he think of coffee? What does he think of Lucanis obsession with coffee? Also will he eventually know about the whole Spite and Lucanis situation? What would be his reaction to finding out?

COFFEE! One of my favourite things in the whole world. I blame my Swedish heritage. We drink ridiculous amounts of the stuff in my family. So. Fun set of questions :D

Coming up next in the story is Astarion meeting the rest of the team and getting to identify the key players, as it were - and while I don’t see Lucanis revealing everything about himself, we’ll see if Spite takes issue with that. I haven’t decided yet. ;) But. coffee!

Astarion prefers his coffee in the Amnian style - dark, bitter, and with a hint of spice. I imagine him and Lucanis can have long discussions on the merits - or lack thereof - of tampering with coffee. Milk and sugar? Cream? Lucanis could perhaps justify latte macchiato as a regional/cultural thing, but Astarion would have Opinions. If you’re going to have a tall glass of warm milk with a dollop of strong coffee, might as well skip the coffee altogether. “It’s not even called coffee, it translates to STAINED MILK!!?!!??!?!?!” But I digress. I love all forms of coffee drinks, and only draw the line at sugar in my cuppa black java.

Re: Lucanis and coffee, though. He’s obviously a recovering addict substituting one vice for another, less detrimental one. Oh, he’s sleepwalking? Oh, he uses the coffee as a means of staying awake? Darling, that clearly isn’t working.

Eventually, though, he’s bound to find out about Spite. He may initially write him off as Lucanis’ imaginary friend, but once Spite comes out to play, things will shift quite a bit, I think. Now, fair warning, I love Spite the way fandom has shaped him. I don’t love how he’s handled in the game. Because, at least to me, it felt like the core of Lucanis’ entire character arc is about personal autonomy. He’s been used and abused his whole life, controlled by Caterina and molded into something he doesn’t really want to be. He’s a sweetheart who cooks in his spare time, who makes elaborate meals, with heart and care. He’s dreamed of romance for a long time, but now he believes he isn't desirable, or fears that he can't love, or meet the expectations placed on him in a relationship. And now he’s coming out of years of isolation and torture at the hands of a blood mage and he’s tied to a demon. An actual, bloody demon. Everything we know about the world of Thedas thus far is he should be dead. And if he isn’t already dead, he should be killed. He’s an Abomination.

…and somehow, at every turn, instead of making his Arc about reclaiming himself and being free of the demon, he’s encouraged towards a symbiotic relationship. I’m not saying this is necessarily wrong - it’s a narrative choice.

And if anyone can relate to being stuck with something in your head against your will, while it gives you new powers, and it isn’t entirely, 100% BAD - it’s Astarion. And as we all know by now, personal freedom and autonomy are Really Big Deals to him.

GUIDs, or Globally Unique Identifiers, are 128-bit numbers that are generated to ensure uniqueness in various applications. They are also referred to as UUIDs, or Universally Unique Identifiers. The purpose of generating GUIDs is to provide a unique identification number that can be used to identify resources such as people, files, web pages, and even colors. Unlike regular registration numbers, which start counting at 1 and can overlap, guid generator in a way that ensures their uniqueness. The use of GUIDs has become increasingly popular in software development, where unique identification numbers are essential for efficient data management. There are different methods of generating GUIDs. One method is random generation, where the system's random-number generator is used to create a 128-bit number. Another method is time-based generation, where a GUID is created based on the current time. Additionally, hardware-based generation involves using a combination of hardware-based information, such as the MAC address, to generate a GUID. These methods ensure that GUIDs are unique and can be used for efficient data management. GUIDs have numerous applications in software development. They are commonly used in enterprise software development in languages such as C# and Java. In.NET Core, GUIDs are generated by creating a random number of 128 bits and performing a couple of bitwise operations. GUIDs are also used to identify hardware, software, and network resources. Moreover, almost all major programming languages have built-in libraries to generate GUIDs, making it easy for programmers to ensure uniqueness in their applications. The use of GUIDs has become essential in modern software development, where efficient data management is crucial for the success of any project.

Christian Ford: What You Need To Know

Talkative, passionate, and strong-willed, Christian Ford is either the life of the party or the person that turns on the lights…depending on the day. In actuality, he’s a thinker, and every action means something; still, something about him remains spontaneous, as if he’s playing life by ear just as much as he’s absorbed in a world of decision. What will he do next? Read on to get some idea.

Basics

Name: Christian Victor Ford

Age: 27 (born May 9, 1997)

Gender and Pronouns: cisgender male, he/him/his

Hometown: Seattle, Washington

Occupation: published novelist (two books in a series out, with a third on its way)

Residence: a surprisingly tidy condo on Coral Coast

Brief Biography

Christian was born to two seemingly loving parents in a seemingly perfect place. If that were the case, though, why did he feel so out of step? Seattle was beautiful, at times; but Christian longed for different vistas, a place where he could “imagine”, as he put it. “Imagining” meant dreaming of different universes, different people. It meant the beginnings of what would become his occupation: writing novels.

Christian’s father Michael did not “imagine”. He charmed—neighbors, public figures, extended family (on his mother’s side). And he seemed to change in different lights—in one situation, a leader, then all at once, an avid supporter. In fact, he didn’t seem to have a personality at all. Christian suspected that his father was less than genuine when they were eating Christmas dinner one year and his father said, “I hate this.” The remark was worded so succinctly (unlike him), so callously (what Christian was forced to acknowledge was really him) that Christian could no longer deny what had been in front of him the whole time. His “businessman” of a father really dealt in promises—promises that were paper-thin.

When Christian left for college, flying halfway across the country to Chicago, he implied that he would return home. This was something that his mother, who he loved (and loves) deeply, could have discerned was false. His dad bought it, however. The college graduate that emerged from U Chicago and moved to Windsor Bay made Michael Ford absolutely livid. But that was life! If Christian’s father wanted to enter the town that his predecessors had founded, taking on the dark legacy of the Fords, he could do so. But Mr. Ford would never follow his son anywhere, least of all to a destination of Christian’s own decision. And Mr. Ford had no idea that Christian’s motivations for choosing Windsor Bay were truly Christian’s own. He liked the idea of continuing something (though he’d learn the full extent of what he’d be “continuing” later, once he’d settled into town). And he liked small towns. This would make the move well worth it.

Now Christian writes to his heart’s content, settled on the beach the way he likes. It’s not all fun and games. He’s restless; and he hates the very recent loneliness his lifestyle has granted him (via the popular duology he wrote that seemingly must be “lived up to” with a showstopper of a third novel. It’s driving him absolutely insane). But Christian will likely find that life, despite its reliability at times, doesn’t play by rules and doesn’t do what it “did before”. He’ll learn something; the only question, and one he asks himself on these new, lonely nights with his thoughts as company, is what can be taught to someone with such anger.

His secret, well-kept, is that he is deeply angry. And the kicker? It’s not directed at anything at all. That’s pretty dangerous.

Wanted Connections

Testing the Waters (1/2)—While Christian doesn’t do casual hookups anymore, he does date. (Maybe too enthusiastically… He really likes romance.) If your character (identifying as female) wants to “test the waters” with Christian, going anywhere from Java Junction to Christian’s own place to see if they have a spark, this connection is for you. And you can opt for the meet-cute, or the date itself, or even something more unique. This connection is to learn if there is a connection…or to ease into one.

Closer Than Brothers (0/2)—Christian already has a brother (who he honestly doesn’t like), but if your male character wants a close friend—someone who is loyal and dedicated to those he trusts—then this connection may be for you. Christian loves all kinds of company, but he cherishes those most who are open and real with him. Maybe that’s your character?

Taken Connections

Exes (1/1)—Christian has an ex in town, one that he fell in love with and ended things amicably with (it was a mutual agreement). But something about her still gets to him late at night… If your character wants an ex who is somewhat moody, extremely passionate, and loves both mixed signals and big gestures, this connection is for you.

Tl;Dr - Primbon is like a type of "Zodiac System" for the Javanese where we use nature, astrology etc as a tool for divination, cleansing, etc.

----

I want to ramble a little about Indonesia's old spirituality, mythicisms and beliefs!!

I'm not entirely religious but ever since I practice Tarot, I have this belief of souls and spirit guardians in divination, and the more I practice divination the more I feel rooted into our culture's old beliefs.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with that... kinda.

Here in Java, we have this old manuscript called Primbon Palintangan Palindon Pakedutan, it contained texts on physiognomy and astrology, as well as other subjects.

In this age, to believe in Primbon can be seen as Syirik and could lead to blasphemy.

According to KBBI, Primbon is defined as a Book consisting of forecast, knowledge of kejawen, occultism, a peculiar numeric system for calculating lucky days, prayers, selections from the Qur’an, instructions relating to ritual purity and performance of obligatory worship, texts on mysticism, astronomy, astrology, and every other important matter.

This book is mainly oriented towards the relationship between mankind and nature and is used as a life guide for Javanese people. Jogja also have their own Primbon called Bataljemur Adammakna!

Primbon uses the Javanese calendar where every day, month, and year has its own calculation and is used to identify events that could occur in the future. It could be used as divination and a tool to hone vigilance.

There are eleven teachings;

Pranata reads the universe and petungan are the numbers that reads your fate

Pawukon calculates time and dates

Perobatan, where medicinal Primbon filled with prayers, spells and spiritual intentions are inscribed into a piece of paper and then burnt. Its ashes can then be rubbed on an affected area to heal.

Wirid are messages, suggestions, or prohibitions that are considered necessary to be followed for the sake of creating harmony

Aji-aji reflects the supernatural side of Javanese life. It is believed that extraordinary supernatural powers are contained in a spell if it is truly believed.

Kidung is a song and / or poetry that contains advice and such.

Ramalan means Divination, it is self explanatory...

Kawilujengan contains guidelines about the implementation of Javanese rituals for various purposes.

Donga is similar to Aji-aji but uses the verses from the Quran and spelled in Javanese

Finally, Ngalamat or sasmita is usually a strange phenomenon in the universe that is considered an oddity. The phenomenon is then interpreted as a sign of something.

Basically, Primbon is like zodiac systems and common astrology for us!!! Also the Brits took six volumes in 1812!!!!!! Give it back along with our legendary Keris!!!!!!! Please :(

https://docs.vultr.com/java/java/examples/java/examples/check-whether-a-number-is-positive-or-negative Java Sign CheckIn Java, performing a sign check involves determining if a number is positive, negative, or zero. Using conditional statements like if-else, you can compare the number against zero. For example, if (number > 0) identifies a positive number, else if (number < 0) checks for a negative value, and else handles zero. This number manipulation technique is commonly used in mathematical computations and decision-making processes in programs.

Surinamese people are people who identify with the country of Suriname. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Surinamese, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being Surinamese.

The population of Suriname is made up of various distinguishable ethnic groups:

Indigenous Surinamese, the original inhabitants of Suriname, form 3.7% of the population. The main groups are the Akurio, Arawak, Kalina (Caribs), Tiriyó and Wayana.

Afro-Surinamese form about 37% of the population, and are usually divided into two groups:

The Creoles (15.7%). These are descendants of enslaved Africans who also have some admixture from the European (mostly Dutch), Spanish, Portuguese and Jewish colonists

The Maroons (21.7%). These are descendants of enslaved Africans who managed to escape and set up a living in the Amazon jungle. The two main Maroon tribes are the Aukan and Saramaccans. Other smaller tribes include the Aluku,��Paramaccan, Kwinti and Matawai tribe.

Indo-Surinamese form 27% of the population. They are descendants of 19th-century indentured workers from British India, who came to work on the sugar estates of Surinam. They are mostly from the present-day Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, in Northern India.

Javanese Surinamese, descendants of indentured workers from the Dutch East Indies (present Indonesia) on the island of Java, form 14% of the population.

Chinese Surinamese, mainly descendants of the earliest 19th-century indentured workers. The 1990s and early 21st century saw renewed immigration on a large scale. In the year 2011 there were over 40,000 Chinese in Suriname.

European Surinamese make up 1% of the Surinamese population:

The Boeroes (derived from boer, the Dutch word for "farmer") make up the largest group of European Surinamese. They are descendants of 19th-century immigrant Dutch farmers.

The Portuguese Surinamese from Madeira are descendants of indentured workers from Madeira in 1853.

Lebanese Surinamese, primarily Maronites from Lebanon.

Jews of Sephardic and Ashkenazi origin. In their history, Jodensavanne plays a major role. Many Jews are mixed with other ethnicities.

Multiracial Surinamese form 13.4% of the Surinamese population.

#ManuscriptMonday:

Illustration of forest animals from an 1805 Javanese illuminated manuscript of Serat Panji Jaya Kusuma: elephant, tiger, banteng, wild boar, and two deer.

British Library MSS Jav 68 f.42r

"...a Javanese manuscript of Serat Panji Jaya Kusuma dated 1805 (MSS Jav 68), which is shown open at a scene (identified by Lydia Kieven) where Sekartaji and her servant (emban) approach the forest filled with animals including an elephant, tiger, banteng, wild boar and two deer. This tale is one of many versions of the adventures of Prince Panji in his search for his beloved Princess Candrakirana. Stories of Prince Panji date back to the 13th century, and mark the beginnings of a truly Javanese literature no longer overshadowed by the great Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Panji tales are found not only in Java but were also translated into Malay, Balinese, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese."

LDAP testing & defense

LDAP Injection is an attack used to exploit web based applications that construct LDAP statements based on user input. When an application fails to properly sanitize user input, it's possible to modify LDAP statements through techniques similar to SQL Injection. 

LDAP injection attacks are common due to two factors:

The lack of safer, parameterized LDAP query interfaces

The widespread use of LDAP to authenticate users to systems.

How to test for the issue

During code review

Please check for any queries to the LDAP escape special characters, see here.

Automated Exploitation

Scanner module of tool like OWASP ZAP have module to detect LDAP injection issue.

Remediation

Escape all variables using the right LDAP encoding function

The main way LDAP stores names is based on DN (distinguished name). You can think of this like a unique identifier. These are sometimes used to access resources, like a username.

A DN might look like this

cn=Richard Feynman, ou=Physics Department, dc=Caltech, dc=edu

or

uid=inewton, ou=Mathematics Department, dc=Cambridge, dc=com

There are certain characters that are considered special characters in a DN. The exhaustive list is the following: \ # + < > , ; " = and leading or trailing spaces

Each DN points to exactly 1 entry, which can be thought of sort of like a row in a RDBMS. For each entry, there will be 1 or more attributes which are analogous to RDBMS columns. If you are interested in searching through LDAP for users will certain attributes, you may do so with search filters. In a search filter, you can use standard boolean logic to get a list of users matching an arbitrary constraint. Search filters are written in Polish notation AKA prefix notation.

Example:

(&(ou=Physics)(| (manager=cn=Freeman Dyson,ou=Physics,dc=Caltech,dc=edu) (manager=cn=Albert Einstein,ou=Physics,dc=Princeton,dc=edu) ))

When building LDAP queries in application code, you MUST escape any untrusted data that is added to any LDAP query. There are two forms of LDAP escaping. Encoding for LDAP Search and Encoding for LDAP DN (distinguished name). The proper escaping depends on whether you are sanitising input for a search filter, or you are using a DN as a username-like credential for accessing some resource.

Safe Java for LDAP escaping Example:

public String escapeDN (String name) {

//From RFC 2253 and the / character for JNDI

final char[] META_CHARS = {'+', '"', '<', '>', ';', '/'};

String escapedStr = new String(name);

//Backslash is both a Java and an LDAP escape character,

//so escape it first escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\\\\\\\\","\\\\\\\\");

//Positional characters - see RFC 2253

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\^#","\\\\\\\\#");

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\^ | $","\\\\\\\\ ");

for (int i=0 ; i < META_CHARS.length ; i++) {

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\\\\" + META_CHARS[i],"\\\\\\\\" + META_CHARS[i]);

}

return escapedStr;

}
