mats: 'hackthebox' is fun and only 10eur/mo, best sub money i've ever spent
mats: hosted collection of ctfs, like overthewire and others in the past
mats: how is your tutoring going? getting gud with a pistol?
mats: until this week i'd been spending a lot of time training in the gym (boxing), swimming, ctfs, and watching too much television
mats: socal's having a helluva time with the covid deniers
mats: been debating on/off about whether to buy a firearm, i live in a nice area with responsive police, but you never know what idiots will do
mats: theres a disturbing number of 'ghost' receivers , hundreds of thousands of them, getting on the streets
mats: no, cody wilson is a shmuck, its the real thing
mats: less serial. i personally know three people who were able to purchase them online with credit cards without any of the usual controls
mats: that those people would buy them (they are asians), is a surprise unto itself, the times are a changing
mats: former, and all you need are hand tools
mats: i'm also debating whether or not to buy some of the new fangled ultralight ceramic inserts and a plate carrier
mats: its a couple thou up front, but they're good for decades, so amortisation isn't so bad
mats: fifty years too late for that
mats: author predictably decried in the usual papers as 'anti trans' and what not
mats: this ships with more scholarship than polemic
mats: a day in the machine shop certainly spares you from association with unsavory characters that traffic in these items
mats: in commiefornia, legal ar15 comes with a ridiculous pinhole mod of the mag ejector, so you need a small object to dump, and legal mag limits are 10 rounds or less
superkuh: Get a big bore pre-compressed air fully automatic rifle. Their performance is almost as good as firearms now.
superkuh: It worked for Lewis and Clarke.
mats: i forget the year (maybe post-2010), most new model firearms can only be purchased by law enforcement in ca
mats: i miss reading the regular conversations between you and mp, it was a weekly thing for me
mats: there was definitely a lot more inscrutable mp rage to skim over in the latter half of tmsr
mats: but i still occasionally grep the logs on a monthly basis for an interesting tidbit here and there
mats: i'm not familiar with these liquid propellants
mats: genuine 'ban' has long been a nonstarter, and proliferation is at absurd levels
mats: i expect people will still be digging up buried caches of ar in 2220, like recovery of qing(?) era muskets dug up for the kmt/ccp civil war
mats: hm no ming actually
superkuh: "hydroxyl ammonium nitrate based liquid monopropellant" Whoa boy. Good thing they never tried it in a barrel with a diameter of more than a few inches.
superkuh: Only takes 3 or so for the deflagration to detonation transition shockwave in ammonium nitrate slurries.
mats: i wish pdfs were more easily parseable
mats: i'd pay for a roided pocket/historio.us (without 10k bookmarks limit) hat will index pdf content, second degree index of content of urls within urls, hitting archive.org/is if a page isnt live and caching the result, with regex plus google style modifier search like site:, around(n), wildcards, -query +query OR AND etc
mats: i have a massive library of interesting bookmarks (to which your link has been added) that i search regularly, and pdfs regularly fall through the gaps
superkuh: I download everything and then use Recoll for full text index and search.
superkuh: Apparently it has modules for tesseract and other OCR.
superkuh: Yeah. I've messed with tesseract before. And then stopped.
snsabot: (trilema) 2017-05-10 asciilifeform: remember, this was the country where a man got 20 yrs for being found with a shoelace and a semiauto
mats: i remember seeing an advert for a remington weapon like this in mid 2000s, proclaimed as 'highly reliable' and futuristic
mats: forgot about it until now, wonder why it hasnt taken off for military use
superkuh: Electronics just seem like a bad idea in a gun.
mats: simpler design - no moving parts, more rounds on station, less recoil
snsabot: (trilema) 2017-05-17 asciilifeform: asciilifeform bought up the lithium thionyl chloride batteries, for pennies
superkuh: What happens when someone drops a single flux compression generator or virtual cathode oscillator EMP in the area?
superkuh: Those have been common since the 80s.
superkuh: Just means more cost and complexity has to be built into the electronics of the gun.
superkuh: If you're talking effecting an entire city or region, okay. But I totally believe in EMP for a few blocks.
superkuh: I suppose the effect as mines would be much less since they'd not have height above terrain and minimal LOS. But maybe in trees?
mats: penny for penny, a bouncing betty is better
superkuh: It's really hard to make any electronics without accidentally creating antenna that work for some random assortment of freqs.
mats: as a schoolchild i was introduced by 'dune' to the idea that explosives are trivially accessible to people with books, at all levels of civilisation
superkuh: Same. It was my childhood hobby.
mats: yes, the illustrious alf kindergarten
superkuh: But I still have my fingers today.
mats: i came up in 90s silicon valley, no such education available to me
mats settled for rubber band guns made out of disposable chopsticks at age 8
superkuh: Didn't know that. Makes sense if you want lots of current cheaply without big caps.
superkuh: I think if I wanted EMP it'd be a simple spark gap marx hooked up to a copper pipe TEM horn in front of a parabolic dish.
superkuh: I've got a lot of HV experience.
superkuh: Yeah, the TEM 'bridges' you put the device in are pretty neat.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-07-17 14:04:57 superkuh: It's really hard to make any electronics without accidentally creating antenna that work for some random assortment of freqs.
superkuh: For a firearm triggering system, yeah, it's probably inside metal. But unlikely a complete surface. Instead each slot will act like the equivalent antenna by babinets theorem.
superkuh: Er, unlikely a completely surface surrounding the volume.
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2020-07-17 jfw: and *sigh* it was originally a ~$35 TRNG; vendor closed but the schematics are there waiting for someone to step up and make more
snsabot: Logged on 2020-07-17 16:21:53 asciilifeform: still doesn't grasp what precisely prevents jfw et al from making own. asciilifeform documented the item to the point of nauseating pedantry.
shinohai: It was part of the "parler" website (which is the Trump supporter's app that is answer to twitter or something)
shinohai: Been about since late 2018, though appears just coming into fashion more with conservatives a Qtards.
shinohai doesn't use, requires phone for signup
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-06-22 ascii_deadfiber: i dun see the 'winning.' the man is the american zhirinovsky - crafted heat sink for excitable 'red state' folk.
