You know you're having a rough day as an engineer when export control laws start to feel logical.

U.S. Government Pursues More Aggressive Action to Curb Espionage at Universities

U.S. Government Pursues More Aggressive Action to Curb Espionage at Universities

The U.S. Governmental Accountability Office (GAO) thinks the FBI and other agencies are not doing enough to address the espionage threat on U.S. university campuses. It issued a report, “Enforcement Agencies Should Better Leverage Information to Target Efforts Involving U.S. Universities” on June 14, 2022, urging the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Commerce to step…

To no one's surprise, I have more thoughts on Ashton's feelings about faith and begging for divine intervention and never receiving it, because... well, look at what's in their head.

I tend to take the view that the Luxon as a divine entity does not necessarily have conscious intent in granting divine favor; it is closer to a foundational force of reality, with the rather nebulous thought that might accompany a living entity associated with that kind of force. So not inert matter, but not exhibiting the will and motivated action that the Pantheon or even the Primordials do. The Primordials are closer, in that they are active, but I think they are less willful. This isn't particularly relevant to this discussion except as evidential comparison, though, so I digress.

What this view of the Luxon results in, in practice, is the bestowing of power by seemingly random chance. The beacons are where they are, and any movement of their worship or use is in the hands of mortals who convey that—whether that's the expansion of dunamantic arcana in Aeor and possibly the larger world in the Age of Arcanum, or the missionary efforts of the Kryn Dynasty, or simply one person passing it to someone with ill intent who exploits another worker to expand its use and turn it into a weapon instead.

And what happens is that these smaller exchanges create ripple effects, and the path of this force being conveyed continues, which is how it has come to Ashton—by a series of circumstances that, when looked at individually, look like mundane random chance, but taken as a whole, are so unlikely that they seem meaningful in the end.

I think this gets to the heart of what the Luxon seems to rule—the world may be governed by chance and circumstances, but when those circumstances are accumulated—into an event, or a nation, or a life—they create not destiny but meaning.

Ashton's circumstances are a series of misfortunes that feel almost fated in how perpetual they are—when he spells out the course of his life, and says that he can count on his fingers how many genuinely good days he's experienced, the weight of that misery feels like an oppressive fate.

But within the amalgamation of that misery, they've also happened upon—one might say were bestowed with—power. This is the power that lets him decide to be a hero and decide to save his friends. And, by some accounts in Exandria, it would've been granted to them by a god, without even asking anything in return. It's not verbal, so it's not a concession or meant to be placating, which wouldn't do much in the long run—it's the means by which Ashton has been able to wield control over his own destiny.

So if there's any meaning to circumstance, maybe it means that when Ashton prayed, something already answered.

Biden's the best president we've ever had on policy foreign and domestic, the economy, and efforts for the poor, and all of you are too obsessed with social media and looking cool to your peers to judge on the facts and you're going to fuck up things in ways that can't be undone.

#and while we are at it #Israel isn't a client state. It's a miracle to get them to do anything including agree to temporary ceasefires. #That's not our country; we don't control that. They're not even net weapons importers.

step 1: build a professional-looking, ad-free site that will perform formatting and validation on a wide variety of file types used for configuration and data transfer (.properties, YAML, .config, JSON, etc), and decrypt file contents if people will just paste in their handy dandy private key/shared secret/etc. Yes, there are already sites for this stuff, but they're fairly scattered and ad-infested.

step 2: perform whatever SEO skullduggery is needed to get your site to the top of the Google search rankings.

step 3: once your site has established itself, pass every single thing that gets pasted into it to a backend service. If you wanna be coy about it, continue doing the validation in Javascript and pretend that the backend calls are metrics. Listen, if you make the URL something like https://admin.yourhosthere.com/datadog-agent then 90% of devs are gonna go 'yeah that seems legit, it's just my good friend Datadog :)' and investigate no further.

step 4: parse every message for strings like 'username' and 'password'.

step 5: now that you have production credentials for about 40% of international corporations and governments, hold the planet hostage.

step 6: rule the world from a flying volcano lair staffed with jumpsuit-wearing henchmen.

(traditionally the henchmen would come before the world conquest, but like most things, supervillainy has gone through massive changes thanks the internet)

#listen i know what you're thinking #'there's no way big international companies would have people doing such insecure things' #this is how I know that you've never worked IT in a big international company that doesn't sell software to survive #i guarantee you that within a day or two of it taking off you'd have ITAR-controlled data #honestly if I did this I would make sure my server is outside the US just for that #you just did an export babey #this wouldn't particularly help with anything it's just inherently funny to me

Every year, I tell myself that I should really consider taking off work for Father Brown premiere day, and then it comes around and I forget to do it, and I spend all day thinking about how I would so much rather be sitting cozy under a million blankets and going back to Kembleford than being forced to do boring work things.

#father brown #honestly i miss the old release schedule model #i loved having just a nice little ep to look forward to every day for two (and sometimes three) full work weeks #now they just put them on iplayer all at once but only air one a week #so its the worst of both worlds #i either watch them all at once b/c i have no impulse control #but do so with the understanding that the fandom may be pacing themselves w/ one a week instead #OR #i force myself to slow down but am grumpy about it #b/c for years the bbc would give me the perfectly prescribed little dose of serotonin in early-jan just when i needed it #the old system was great; why did they change it #an ep a day for 2-3 weeks was just the best way to pace it #i know there's a former higher up at the beeb that just hates the show #b/c it's much more expensive to produce than the average daytime show --even it more than makes up for production costs #by being the single most exported show from the channel to foreign markets (yup even more than doctor who) #so i can't help but wonder if the new release model is an attempt to kill the show by some other bitter exec #well jokes on them cause it didn't work last year and i pray that it won't work this year as well #am a bit worried about the sister boniface spinoff's future ngl #i think i did hear that it was getting an s3 and i think britbox funding it rather than the been directly does help it #but still a bit worried

shout out to my poor unfortunate mother having to listen to me record and re-record rouge of love on the piano 3000 times because we live in a small house and i can’t find my usb drive to record via midi instead and use headphones right now

#you WILL hear rouge of love a billion times. it is not a choice #also machinegun kiss but what else is new #I recorded the backtrack for machinegun kiss not actually for a piano melody on top of it it’s meant for singing over technically #but. still works. so i recorded it anyway #ironically i doubt I’ll post anything right now though cause realistically it will bother me if I don’t record via midi instead so I can go #in and clean stuff up in post on my computer and whatnot #and the quality is just. infinitely better when exporting midi files instead of just recording me playing via earbud mic #you don’t have to hear my fingers on the keys and shit or any background noise At All #it’s satisfying………gotta find a fuckin flashdrive man #as for machinegun kiss. I actually am pretty okay with one of my lq piano/vocal cover recordings but. im way too self conscious to post that #lmao. maybe I’ll share it with someone. one day. #I do like hearing my own voice though simply cause it’s nice to be reminded how much my voice has lowered over the span of almost 2 #years on t……I have a weirdly similar vocal range to kiryu’s right now which is. something #like I don’t even have to transpose machinegun kiss into another key. kiryu’s is perfectly fine #adachi’s is slightly higher than is comfortable for me (id have to more or less belt the chorus and yeah I could technically but. it’s #exhausting and I have less vocal control. which I need a lot of. becuase i already put a lot of effort into controlling my voice due to t #making it not nearly as malleable and effortless as it used to be haaaaah) #kiryu’s (and kuroda’s by association I assume) vocal range is pretty small and most of his songs are within a small range of keys. he rarely #truly belts and rarely does higher adlibs or anything like that. #so for me- since my vocal range as shrunk significantly on t- his songs/song keys are convenient #but yeah #anyway #no one asked #rambling

before and after coloring (thank you for tagging me, @seawherethesunsets & @hansomang) ✨

i’m constantly experimenting with settings and techniques, so i can’t really decide if i have a particular style yet ㅠㅠ if i’m not going for a specific aesthetic for a stylistic gifset, i tend to like increasing contrast and making things more vibrant!

idk who hasn’t been tagged yet but feel free to do this and tag me in your posts!!

#editcheenee #i recently started deleting psds bc i'm running out of storage ㅠㅠ #and i truly never reuse coloring i always just mess around with the settings jklsdfjkl;sdf #that first gif was from may and this post is kind of a journey through the various styles and settings i've played with #currently in my camera raw era and it takes a million years to export but the control is also great……… #but yeah this was fun (and also made me realize that i still don't fully know what i'm doing lol)

A little rant about Connor's (and generally dbh) 3d models

I honestly can't believe that there seems to be no rigged models of dbh characters easily available to the fandom (and I'm not taking about default rig from the game as it's quite useless outside the actual game). Like someone has definitely tried to set those before, but even if that's the case, I couldn't find anyone who did, so now I'm learning how to make face rigs (and hey, it's starting to look not so bad). Shit, like how is this possible that ALL models from this game are not exported by fans and stored in some kind of archive? How is this possible that even the most popular character is available online in some weird conditions with some textures possibly missing while also having some other random textures that seem to belong to something else instead?

I haven't finished the rig yet (and it'll probably take me a lot more time), but I have a .blend project with all the textures (or at least the ones that I managed to find across a couple different variations of this model online) properly set up (or at least somehow right, it was just a lot of guessing and trying until it looked somehow right) and I'm willing to share this project if anyone is interested.

Let me know if you would be interested and if yes then how can I share it here (tumbr doesn't allow attachments like that so give me an idea about where or how to post it instead)

#detroit become human #dbh #dbh fandom #dbh 3d models #dbh connor #making this rig become an obsessive idea of mine #like I don't even remember what was my original plan about how to pose it #but now I just want to see this model rigged #with actually usable controllers #this model even have wrinkle maps!!! #also so sad there are no skinless models exported from the game #also spent hours trying to set up the LED part of the model the way it's SUPPOSED #to be #I don't know why I'm obsessing so much about this model #I just want to see them rigged and publically available #like isn't insane that there's no fan-made animations that would use the original models? #Like not just replacing one character with another #but actually animated
