Oh man. If I could find a way to stop the phishing emails, I would absolutely love it.

No idea why exchange consistently lets through emails asking to change exchange passwords? Surely they would be the easiest to seperate out

In the age of A.I., and in software programming in general, it’s often the opposite.

Where I am in AUS, it seems to be crane rental. I guess pretty easy just to invoice out a days rental and sit around doing nothing.

A few years back, I moved into an old farmhouse in the countryside. It was peaceful, except for the noises that would come from the attic every night, a soft thumping like someone walking around. After a couple of sleepless nights, I finally mustered the courage to check it out.

I climbed up to the attic with a flashlight. It was full of dusty old furniture and trinkets, probably from previous tenants. As I was examining a pile of old newspapers, my flashlight caught something - a pair of eyes glowing in the dark, staring right back at me. I nearly dropped the flashlight in shock. As I shone the light in the direction, I found an old portrait of a woman. The eyes were eerily lifelike. I convinced myself it was just the way the light was hitting it.

The noises didn’t stop, but I learned to live with them. But the weirdest part was when I left the house a 6 months later. The movers came to get my stuff, and I told them to leave everything in the attic, I’d Grabe those items myself. I mainly needed movers for the big heavy stuff. Later, when I returned to pick up some remaining items, the portrait was gone.

To this day, I still can’t figure out where it could have gone, why just that. Probably some completely logical explanation, but it still gives me chills when I think about it.

Hmm. If it needs to be live, something like red pill media may have japanese content.

I have a similar problem wanting to watch Dutch and German TV. I just gave in and found a couple of good Usenet indexers for each Language, and just host a plex media library for both. With a radarr container for each language.

I find that even with the best diffusion models, replication and character sets are virtually impossible. Also text does not work.

Do you need to watch them live?

Nah. I like the bullet points. Clear tell us always the opening sentences. If it’s helpful it’s helpful. If not. It’s not. I pay for gpt4, so if I haven’t used my quota, I like to use it answering questions.

Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?

I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.

As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.

More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it's light-hearted and doesn't require too much thought.

 

While we're all aware that light travels at a fixed speed, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, here's something to ponder: when we gaze up at the night sky, we're not seeing the universe as it is, but as it was. The light from those distant stars and galaxies has taken years, centuries, millennia, even millions of years to reach our eyes.

When we look out into space, we're essentially looking back in time. Each star could be seen as a time capsule, holding the story of our universe's past. We're not just observers of space, but also of time.

But what happens when we reverse the perspective? If an advanced civilization were looking at Earth from a galaxy that's say, a million light years away, they wouldn't see us. They'd see a million years into Earth's past.

Could there be civilizations out there, observing our planet and witnessing events that occurred long before humans ever existed? If so, they wouldn't know about our existence, just as we might be looking at distant stars whose planets host civilizations that arose after the light we see departed.

Could we travel fast enough, out into space, and see into the past? Could we one day actually observers crimes that had taken place in the past? Solve mysteries?

 

How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?

Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?

I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.

 

Greetings fellow researchers of truth,

I have been diving into the peculiar phenomenon known as sleep paralysis, an intriguing state of consciousness marked by an inability to move or speak during the transition between sleep and wakefulness. This frightening event has been brushed off by the medical community as simply a "sleep disorder," but could there be a more sinister, concealed reality we're not privy to?

Traditional explanation of sleep paralysis revolves around the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle, the stage in which most dreaming occurs. Scientific consensus posits that an "error" in transitioning between this cycle and wakefulness leads to sleep paralysis. But, could this "error" be an engineered one?

The possibility of psychotronic manipulation during these vulnerable states cannot be ignored. Psychotronics, an umbrella term for technologies that interface directly with the human mind, have been in research since the mid-20th century. DARPA's alleged Project Pandora, or the Soviet Union's exploration into psychotronic weaponry, are testament to this interest. While these projects' existence is contested, we have credible reasons to think that this technology has significantly advanced, covertly.

Could sleep paralysis be an inadvertent byproduct of these psychotronic control attempts? The symptoms align intriguingly well. The reported feelings of pressure on the chest, the vivid hallucinations, the terrifying sensation of a presence – all these could plausibly be attributed to an external force meddling with our REM sleep, causing our conscious mind to partially awaken and perceive this manipulation.

Additionally, many sleep paralysis sufferers report increased occurrences during periods of stress or drastic changes in sleep schedule. Is it possible that these conditions make our brainwaves more susceptible to this psychotronic influence?

While the scientific community dismisses sleep paralysis as a harmless, albeit terrifying, anomaly of the sleep cycle, we should not overlook the potential implications. Could these sleep disturbances be early warnings of a larger, clandestine operation aiming to control or influence human behavior?

The world is rapidly progressing in neuroscience and technological innovation. It's prudent for us to question how these advancements are being employed. In the age of mass surveillance, psychological warfare, and AI domination, sleep paralysis could be another piece in the grand puzzle of mind control mechanisms.

Keep questioning, keep exploring. There are truths yet to be uncovered.

 

Dear LemmyUnchained.net Community,

I'm reaching out to provide an important update about a recent security incident. Please be assured that our instance was not directly targeted, but it's crucial that everyone is informed and understands what happened.

While many of us were offline, a vulnerability was discovered and exploited on the lemmy platform. This led to the leak of JWT cookies from several users, including at least one admin, allowing the perpetrators to alter site settings and post misleading announcements. While it appears our instance was not involved in the leak, this was a vulnerability that could have effected any instance.

However, the dedicated developer team, as well as a huge number of volunteers in the community, quickly sprung into action. Here's a brief summary of their swift response:

  • They identified and patched the vulnerability.

  • All comments and private messages containing the exploit were immediately deleted.

  • The effected instanced rotated the JWT secret, which invalidated all existing cookies.

Please note, we're not providing details of the vulnerability at this time. This is to prevent any issues for those who may still be unaware and potentially vulnerable.

Lemmyunchained wants to extend a heartfelt thanks to all those who stepped in to assist.

In response to this incident, we've taken several additional security measures, including the removal of certain custom data from our databases, the replacement of content containing the exploit, and the rotation of our JWT secret. Due to these changes, you may find you've been logged out and will need to sign back in.

However, for the sake of security, we're not providing specific details about these measures at this time.

On a positive note, while our site was offline, we upgraded from version 18.0 to version 18.1.

Again, I apologize for the sudden offline period, and want to reassure you that it was necessary for the safety and security of our community. We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Here's to moving forward together, stronger and safer.

Best regards, LU

 

lemmyunchained will go offline whilst the hack situation develops.

no sign of any compromise here as of yet.

Hopefully wont take long to push a fix.

Google Maps is undoubtedly a marvel of modern technology, granting its users the ability to explore nearly every corner of the globe in just a few clicks. However, not all places are readily visible on this platform. There are certain spots that have been deliberately blurred or hidden, raising an air of mystery around them. Here are five such enigmatic locales...

1. An Oddity in the Siberian Wilderness, Russia

The expansive forests of Northern Russia, renowned for their strange and inexplicable phenomena, are ordinarily not a common subject for Google Maps viewers. However, there's an anomaly that can't be overlooked - an area deep within the Siberian wilderness that seems to have been artificially modified. Upon closer examination, it's clear that the geographical features are mismatched, as if borrowed from a different region. What could be the reason behind this digital camouflage?

2. Enigma at Junction Ranch, CA

Located in California's Mohave Desert, Junction Ranch is home to an unexplained airstrip. Some speculate it to be part of the China Lake proving grounds, a well-known air force drone testing site. The mystery doesn't stop there, though. On Google Maps, certain sections of the base appear to be deliberately scratched out, revealing only fragments of the whole picture. What could be the hidden truth behind these digital alterations?

3. The Mystery of Sandy Island

Sandy Island, a place first charted by Captain Cook in the late 18th century during his Australian expeditions, has a peculiar presence on Google Maps. Despite being a familiar landmark for over two centuries, the region where it's believed to be located is inexplicably blurred on the map. What could be the secret behind this incongruity?

4. Thule Air Base Enigma, Greenland

During the heights of the Cold War, Thule Air Base in Greenland was a pivotal strategic location, witnessing B-52 bombers carrying nuclear payloads on a routine basis as a counter-measure against potential Soviet aggression. In 1968, a catastrophic accident occurred, leading to a nuclear weapon crash that allegedly released substantial amounts of radiation. This crash site remains obscured on Google Maps to this day.

5. The Blacked-out Peak of Kangtega, Nepal

Located in the majestic Himalayas, Kangtega stands as an enigma on Google Maps. The entire area is blanketed in digital darkness, spurring theories ranging from secret military installations to extraterrestrial activities. Unless one is willing to endure the grueling 22,000-foot ascent, the reality behind this peculiar blackout may forever remain a mystery.

These unexplained anomalies truly spark curiosity. Is Google Maps collaborating with some secretive entities to keep these sites hidden, or could there be an entirely different explanation?

 

I anticipate that we'll soon need to determine whether federating with threads aligns with the needs of our little instance.

From my perspective, I've yet to encounter a persuasive argument against doing so, particularly considering the straightforward process of defederation.

But I’m open to being educated on this matter.

 

It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?

Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?

Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

 

I have a thing about buying a special guitar from the month and year of my children’s birth. Something to pass down to them on their 21st birthday. They may hate music, who knows, but I think it’s still a cool thing to have. Hopefully it reminds them of me.
