  • A crawler is a data processing machine, nothing more. therefor you are disrupting dataprocessing through data. If you think its not thats ok too.

    Nah it’s definitely disrupting data processing, even though at a very low-key level – you’re not causing any data to become invalid or such. It’s the intent to harm the operator that’s the linchpin: “Jemandem einen Nachteil zufügen”. “Jemand” needs to be a person, natural or legal. And by stopping a crawler you don’t want to inflict a disadvantage on the operator you want to, at most, stop them from gaining an advantage. “Inflict disadvantage” and “prevent advantage” are two different things.

    I would still advise to contact your lawyer in germany if you are thinking about hosting a zipbomb

    Good idea, but as already said before: First, you should contact a sysadmin. Who will tell you it’s a stupid idea.




  • Casting concrete requires building formwork to cast the concrete into. For any standardised shape constructing the formwork is easy: Just assemble it from the parts you have. Straight sections? The most common case. Rounded corners? As long as you’re fine with “should be round” and don’t require some very specific radius, those are probably also at hand. A gargoyle? Well that’s not an easy form to produce but once you have it, you can cast 1000 gargoyles.

    Where 3d printing comes in is places where you have a shape that’s literally or nearly unique, where building the formwork would be a PITA. In all other cases, the traditional method is quicker and cheaper.

    Also interesting is stuff like solar sintering plain sand.





  • Germany did two things wrong, they learned an overly specific lesson “never again should Germans do something this horrible to Jews” rather than “never again should any group or individual do something this horrible to any other group or individual”

    Nope, we’re very much aware of the distinction. The first foreign deployment of the Bundeswehr was based on the latter.

    The AfD surge is about the other parties’ structural inability to deal with the actual issues people face, in particular economic uncertainty. Feelings of political powerlessness. It’s accelerationist shit.


  • because it’s arguably a fourth person pronoun.

    Even if you consider it a pronoun, which you’d then also have to do with “class” in “Class, please open the book at page 14”, it’s still second person plural. Arguments against “class” and chat" being a pronoun include that they’re nouns, I think that’s rather convincing.

    Fourth person would be “One does not simply walk into Mordor”. “One does not address the fourth person”. I guess people got it mixed up with the 4th wall that’s why the confusion exists.


  • You’re essentially saying “just nut up and do it.”

    No. I said that the question is:

    how can the capability to leave the abuser be built

    I didn’t ever compare what’s necessary for that with learning to cook. The cooking thing was about how it’s silly to go from “doesn’t know how to” to “you’re at fault”. I used, specifically, an example far enough from abuse so it could be a general point, not tangled up with the dating assholes bit.

    Where I did get into “How can it be built” was my edgetake later: Figure out why assclowns are so damn attractive that some women go back to them, put up with them, and then don’t blame the woman for having that attraction, but find a safe outlet. I’m sure that’s not the whole of the solution but I do think that it’s a necessary component.


  • Victims of abuse are victims who need external assistance.

    Agreed. Assistance, implementation of which requires understanding of why they’re not leaving those assholes, worse, returning to them, or fall into the same pattern with a different asshole, all on their ostensibly free will.

    The question is “how can the capability to leave the abuser be built”. It involves, in one way or the other, a change in the victim. Getting better at leaving pieces of shit.

    Seriously I have difficulty, and this might be male perspective, to equate “need to get better at” with the frame “you’re at fault”. At some point, I needed to get good at cooking. Was it my fault that I couldn’t cook? Nope. It’s not like I didn’t show interest as a kid, it’s that noone ever bothered to actually teach me anything, so I didn’t know anything. Still had to get good at it. It’s a problem so you solve it. Why would I care wasting my breath blaming my upbringing it only distracts from learning. It can provide an excuse, but excuses don’t make dinner.


    Ah, fuck it, let’s risk it. My edgetake on why some women end up again and again with assholes: Because noone told them (early enough?) that they can go to a kind guy, start a tickle fight, and get all the thrill they’ll ever want. It’s a function of attraction to the capability to throw down.

    Severely disrupting other people’s data processing of significant import to them. By submitting malicious data requires intent to cause harm, physical destruction, deletion, etc, doesn’t. This is about crashing people’s payroll systems, ddosing, etc. Not burning some cpu cycles and having a crawler subprocess crash with OOM.

    Why the hell would an ISP have a look at this. And even if, they’re professional enough to detect zip bombs. Which btw is why this whole thing is pointless anyway: If you class requests as malicious, just don’t serve them. If that’s not enough it’s much more sensible to go the anubis route and demand proof of work as that catches crawlers which come from a gazillion IPs with different user agents etc.



  • Yes they aren’t the same, that’s precisely why I made the distinction. Also Greenlanders are all three of Greenlandic, Danish, and EU citizens.

    Doesn’t mean that they’re comfortable with Greenland University teaching e.g. pedagogics in Danish. Electrical Engineering who cares (can’t even study it in Nuuk) but pedagogics? Psychology? Law? It’s a challenge is to switch those over without hurting the quality of the programmes, the university is tiny (~600 students) and relies a lot on guest lecturers. Greenlandic independence sentiment revolves around cultural sovereignty, not around hating the Danes, everything Danish, wanting to get rid of them ASAP, or suchlike. Still, achieving independence as a state serves as a point of reference for “we actually did it, culturally, organisationally, we are strong enough”. Which isn’t easy when you’re 56k people.




  • French fries is the standard German pool food. Like, nowhere else do you see stands selling nothing but fries (with ketchup and/or mayo, of course). And they just don’t taste as good anywhere else, I guess it’s the chlorine in the air making the salt taste extra special without actually tasting more salty.




  • Denmark has claimed Greenland for longer than the current batch of Inuit live there. Norse settled there some 500 years before Columbus, in completely uninhabited lands. Those settlements failed, current batch of Inuit moved in, history happened. At some point Danes ceased to be assholes thus Denmark fully recognises the Inuit’s rights to self-determination, to declare independence if and when they so desire. No “unfortunate necessity” excuse why they can’t do it which you seem to believe is justifiable. There’s also no deciding for the Inuit “you must become independent, now”, like you’re doing.

    Go, look in the mirror, have a long, deep, thought about who has a colonial mindset, here, and who doesn’t. Who is keen on deciding things for another people, and who isn’t.
