With a DNS whitelist, all incoming packets are dropped unless the address is on the list. It is like ad block, but reversed. You are not blocking known ad servers, but all servers except those you actually want to connect to. It is a pain in the ass to look at logs and white list all the time. In reality, you only visit around a hundred sites or less that you actually need or want to connect to. Nothing gets in except what you want. That kills most vulnerabilities.

DNS whitelist firewall on a router. Deny everything that is not whitelisted by address and port.

This would make open source dominant and kill off all the rest. Big money will battle to keep digital slavery.

Saw it on the Big Island in Hawaii. Bat shit amazing.

I don’t think Trump is capable of real management of any kind. I believe his reigns are, “did they word fuck my godhood”, and “did the news I watched seem credibly embarrassing enough that I wish to deny they ever word fucked me”. With the added corrupting caveat of, “how many word fuck whores are currently ready to slut into the position”.

If I told you the country was run by Fox, I don’t think it could be disproved. How else do you reconcile recruiting their news anchors. He is the holotype of why the nepotism of gross inherited wealth is a terminal cancer. Pass on as many upper middle class trust funds for life as you would like, but no other wealth is transferrable in any way. Foreign held funds by the deceased are a crime of sedition, and forfeiture of citizenship. That does not cause collapse, filters every problem name you know now if it had existed, and will eventually fix the real problem. Japan already has this in place. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans, but wealth is. This is the succession crisis of monarchy, at a new stage where the elite of the Royal court have the same power and influence as the age of monarchies, and we have the same problem again. •»ÀīÙ¬§¬¶¬×

Most of it.

Mythos that defies evolution and all of natural history. An oversimplification that does not account for the real timeline and complexity between now and the end of the age of scientific discovery when all of science is a fully constrained engineering corpus. Typical collective group think from a society without meritocratic hierarchy after turning education into a class filter, and failing to prevent the nepotism of gross inherited wealth. Now there are no leaders to sell a future anyone wants to buy into, so they peddle dystopian shittery to justify their exploitation and tyranny. Fully constraining biology to an engineering corpus is exponentially more complex than all of current knowledge held, and by orders of magnitude. That is a whole technological age shift that makes the present look like a joke. This dystopian shit is just to justify the war that comes soon because these fuckwits cannot control themselves in every minor age of science. WW1 was Chemistry, WW2 was Physics, the next is Computer Science. The one for Biology is a likely candidate for the great filter. Biology is the greatest and final technology to master. Industrial wasteful tech is not even possible for a millennia before rare planetary resources are fully commercially exhausted. Several will be gone in less than a century. Biology is technology on the order of stellar lifetimes. In that age, you will have everything of now and so much more, but it will all be the result of biology. •»ÀĪÙ¬¶¬§¬×

Optimus Prime

Probably nothing helpful as you are already way past my understanding. Maybe look at the Darktable documentation or even the “green lantern” stuff (IIRC the name). GL or (something) Lantern is/was an open source software for Canon cameras that breaks out all DSLR features on nearly any Canon camera.

Nearly a decade ago, I had a makeshift product photography studio and messed with Macbeth color charts and profiles matched to a monitor. The tutorial guides I followed were from these two projects IIRC. GL.

Mexico has universal free healthcare starting next year.

OCR tool+ to autogen a suggested alt text. The path of least resistance needs to be lowered.

Alternatively, inverting the paradigm is likely to cause less issues and push back. Add the automated tool the the end user in need of the version. This obviously creates the issue of data quality and trust, but for the smaller group. What if there was a reply field silently posted to everyone’s notifications feed indicating anonymous instances of the tool being used to fill in the gaps for alt text? The message would need to be opt out or carefully presented. Perhaps it could be possible to modify the post itself via the tool? Better yet, make the alt text field a Wikipedia style affair anyone with an account can edit, but with a lock available to the OP. That would create much more healthy awareness of the need for alt text, as people posting the content will see the places where gaps are filled by an automated tool. It gives them the chance to edit. This does little to initially improve the experience of the most active alt text users, but it creates a strong cultural shift in awareness that should improve the situation greatly in the long term IMO.

No one reads hex as strings IRL.

Not necessarily. Turn this around. Let’s say I am working at somewhere like a chip foundry with tons of IP. I have no access to encryption tools, but I can easily shift characters to a hex range in bash and send emails.

These characters can use the control glyph, and so do not print or show up in any physical way except in hex.

This technique must be obfuscated at every serious organization from governments to industry.

I need to block a known threat actor already present on a system. Call it an exercise. I am interested in exploring and understanding it. This text obfuscation is a technique I discovered being used. This is a stage 3 threat model type of situation where every possible vector is in play.

This is not the theoretical, rtfm or read and trust the source situation.

It does not. It can be rendered as a control character.

It is non printing. It cannot be seen or scanned or highlighted. It looks like nothing, except the file size is large with more hex than should be in the binary.

Inherited wealth nepotism knows no bounds. Human intelligence is not hereditary, wealth is. That cancer is terminal.
