Avatar drawn by sphinxhijinx! I tinted it green a decade after the fact though. (I still possess the original versions too, don't worry.)

Don't follow me if you're under 18! I talk about adult topics, and that could mean legal trouble!

I have mentally filed away every guy who posts about "Z-day" or "homesteading" as a future climate-famine war-criminal basically

Although tbh if you said this to such a guy's face he'd probably be like "I Am Willing To Do What Needs To Be Done Because I Am The Hard Survivorman Who Is Willing To Make Tough Decisions" etc etc. Preemptive romanticization-narrative dressed up as Logic and Reason type shit

Fun fact: The bill that will ban Tiktok will also allow the US government to ban access to any app, program, or website that they deem "against national interest"

It was “Thurr’s Day” and Johnplus Familyguyshirt stirred unsleepfully on his stack of carcinogenic polymer blankets. He stretched his forelegs, those of a biped, and made a waking-noise. Maybe he would pray before the television for money again today… But on the other palm, here in the heart of the High United States Empire, there were many types of ritual commerce that a man of any gender could get up to with just his trusty sellphone.

Hmm so one of the admins of mastodon.art is actually singling out individual users in fediblock posts for saying anything positive about Hamas, or for characterizing Zionism as a type of colonialism or fascism, and then throwing in a couple genuine antisemites so any defense of the former can be treated as defense of the latter, huh

BELATED EDIT: This person is not an admin of that instance; I was mistaken about that; but they are doing these things seemingly with their admin's assent

Two things I'm sure of:

  1. People will be doing postfurry bodmods IRL in 2090
  2. People will believe the idea of postfurry bodmods was invented on Future Tumblr in 2085

My experience with liberal pacifists is that they treat violence as inherently illegitimate, and therefore, they treat revolutionary violence as self-evident proof of the illegitimacy of revolutionary activity

That "whitebodied" post reminds me of a picture I once saw of a closet that had been converted into a shower without any waterproofing. The immediate rot implies a depth of horrendous decisions beyond what is directly visible, in everything in the immediate vicinity

I think the idea of "users in militia-mode will each have a textfile of weakly-secure passphrases" is the exact kind of idea that would mostly work in practice, but which would be unilaterally slammed as "insecure" by crypto tech nerd journalist types. Like if you're being singularly targeted by the NSA and/or the 95% of hacker-culture that is just people going "notice me NSA-senpai", there will be little difference between a social web-of-trust and a cryptographic web-of-trust in practice

argr,
@argr@glaceon.social avatar

I could still probably figure out a way to make this somewhat more secure with some simple cryptography on top of it though... ough... this will require the most annoying research you can possibly imagine

argr,
@argr@glaceon.social avatar

As you can probably imagine, subjects related to "peer-to-peer cryptography" have been rendered almost impossible to search for thanks to blockchain bullshit, and even then when you do find something relevant it's mostly just someone going "here are the equations, and if you don't understand how to use them you should go work at McDonalds"

I'm pretty sure that a user who wants to re-verify their new IP-address could send a militia-mode-user a one-time passphrase, which would then be compared against the militia-user's list of random strings and their hashed results, and if that passphrase is indeed the salt that turns a given string into its hash, then that IP-address gets verified in the militia-user's allowlist, and the verification attempt's passphrase entry gets deleted

But I need to make sure that it would be secure in the way I'm intuiting; and so I've gotta try to figure out how to research this shit

I've found an at least slightly legit-looking SHA512 library implemented in pure Lua. Hmmm...

argr,
@argr@glaceon.social avatar

Like I'm working under the assumption that the NSA has preemptively poked holes in all this shit anyway. So the social aspects of user-verification will still be more important than the technical aspects of user-verification. But the technical aspects might deter Hans Stuttgart from compromising the network as a resume-building exercise

@argr@glaceon.social avatar

(Even without any cryptographic shadow-puppetry, he'd still have to crack a plurality of militia-users' phones simultaneously, of course)

argr,
@argr@glaceon.social avatar

(And the worst that could happen in such a total-compromise situation is everyone's allowlists get polluted, and they have to re-coordinate through backchannels)

@argr@glaceon.social avatar

(Which would be a DISASTER if you were, you know, planning to manufacture drugs or overthrow the government with bombs and guns or whatever. But you shouldn't be talking about that shit on the internet anyway! You should be putting your phones and laptops in the refrigerator, walking into the bathroom, and turning on the shower before you talk about that shit)

argr,
@argr@glaceon.social avatar

If you are planning to talk to someone about concrete plans and actions to violently overthrow the bourgeois government, here's what you need to do:

  1. Put both of your phones and laptops in the refrigerator (along with any smart TVs, IOT appliances, and so on)
  2. Go into the bathroom
  3. Turn on the shower
  4. Start making out
