Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.

In my country "tools designed for hacking" (simplifying legalese a bit) are illegal, but I'm not aware of anyone who was sentenced purely because of this. I think it might've been an additional charge during trials of actual cybercriminals.

Indeed. If they raid your house for running a Tor exit node and find nmap installed, they'll add on a hacking tools charge to your running a drug marketplace charge and your money laundering charge, and in court, the hacking tools charge will actually stick because you actually did that.

Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany. That does not sound right and I am unable to find any source for that claim. EDIT: Nmap might fall under § 202c STGB [1] and »verschaffen« (obtain) probably does not even require installing it, downloading it would probably be sufficient. But my non-lawyer interpretation would be that this only applies if you are doing it for the purpose of a cri…

Do you think the police, when they raid your house on some pretext, will accept your argument that it wasn't to prepare for a crime?

“ The aliasing is quite extreme ” One interesting thing in becoming a graphics expert and discussing graphics with non-graphicsprogrammers, is that many don’t care about aliasing. Aliasing in sound is usually painfully untolerable. It does not seem to be like that in graphics. Based on this, I dont’t think aliasing is a technical critical fault - it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO. As long as people ca…

> it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO Case in point, in a 3D platform/adventure game i made back in 2020 for an MSDOS game jam[0], the rasterizer has intentional "flaws" - like lack of subpixel and subtexel accuracy, no zbuffering and no perspective correction (and perhaps unintuitively, the last two actually made the whole renderer more complex) because i had in my mind a specific "glitchy" look. Addin…

I can imagine no z buffer requiring finding a way to efficiently sort the triangles but how can affine mapping be harder than perspective correct?

I implore you all to read the coder's website, http://www.tastyfish.cz This is one of the craziest rabbit holes I've been through. That being said, the guy sure can code, but judging by the website and its content, he can't AT ALL function in a normal society. His "wiki" is a cesspool of cognitive dissonance. I don't even think flat earthers or other anti-system people have that much cognitive dissonance going on. In…

Indeed, if you scroll down to his "Fun facts about me" section you'll realize the whole webpage is a cry for help.

Examples:

> I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay.

> I am suffering from anxiety and depressions (diagnosed AvPD).

> I am impossible to be loved romantically and futhermore I get extremely repulsive to anyone I fall in love with, therefore I am largely scared of falling in love.

> I am not a "person".

Innocent until proven guilty, it is their job to show that I was preparing some crime, I would not make any arguments.

I was about to flag this comment but... yikes. You're right. Super awkward. "I immediately turn off any documentary where a woman starts talking as a "scientist"." - what the hell.

> I no longer use 4chan (in fact I'm banned) Well. That says something.

Banned on 4chan?! That's speaks "boss-level evil"!

Wait until you find most ethnics are just remixes of each other since forever. Specially, the Roman Empire and the Mediterranean. It grew up thanks to three simple things: - The same law for everyone no matter the race or ethnics. - Sharing knowledge and goods. And genes. Inbreeding: retardation and diseases. - Adopting the good things universally, discarding the rest. The Golden Rule works. Math works. Science worke…

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

Wow, this harkens back to the dark corners of the old Internet, where people posted whatever they felt like because nobody was ever going to find it. I'm not sure which one it is, but this guy is definitely on a spectrum. The likes and dislikes section is quite a trip.

It's the association. Things vary in value to us depending the brand it portrays. This is why people pay $150 for Nike shoes despite them being made by the same kids in the same sweatshop as the $10 Primark runners. It's also why initiatives like ReiserFS died after its creator turned out to be a murderer. As humans we're always looking for things that align with our values and "tribe". Maybe it shouldn't be that way…

People never seem to apply this to the arts. People still use Eric Gill's fonts (sexually abused his kids), they put on plays by Oscar Wilde (who was definitely a sex tourist and the descriptions in letters makes it fairly clear the boys were underage), several murderers are admired for their works: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separat...

He links to a panoramic scan of his unclothed body. Seems normative.

Interesting, I thought that only exit nodes carry a reputation risk. I guess there must be some really zealous scrapers who ban middle nodes based on the public list.

Entry nodes also run a big reputational risk. A number of list providers filter them. Many organisations want to prevent their users from accessing TOR to bypass filtering or exfiltrate data.

All nodes are allowable entry nodes, although the standard client uses a guard selection algorithm that ensures the entry node will always be one with a good uptime record.
