Some Thoughts on The Supposed Hacking of Our Election By The Russians

[EverCurious]

SHE is admittedly a bit eccentric. We rich folks tend to get like that when we have a lot of free time on our hands and money to burn for sure.

My mother makes stained glass just so she can throw it in the trash. My father spends most of his time going ballistic on consumer advocate shit (He actually just recently took Lexus to court over a "clunk when folks applied the breaks in a sudden or hard manner") My grandparents were avid advocates for AKC registration and breeders of dogs. My brother-in-law went ballistic on Taco Bell because they were putting some chemical he didn't like into their hot sauce (he's a chemist.) Most of my "eccentric" has been work with synesthesia; prodded, poked, and put into all kinds of crazy psychological and physical situations to see what makes it tick, though I do dally in throwing massively expensive "temper tantrums" (as the religious front up here calls them) at the State of Alaska for anti-gay legislation and restrictions as well. (That's why I have so many LGBT's and [god dammed] socialists on my friends list driving me bonkers with their over the top dramatics) I also avidly play MMOs [video games] and thoroughly enjoy killing my frienemies and watch anime. (No one can make me grow up ~sticks tongue out at~)

Actually I was tipped off on Pizzagate through Anonymous, another hacktivist group I tend to watch closely, upon seeing the information they presented I hit 4chan and reddit to watch the armature investigations and decided it was "plausible enough" to warrant deeper investigation. I figure the worst that happens is I'm out $10k, a pittance - I've spent far, far more than that on my computer.

I guess I'll die of old age before I can get a liberal to state what he thought the most damaging email revelation was. The most obvious question to ask wince they are the ones making a big stink about it but they won't touch it with a ten foot pole. That's an even bigger revelation.

Meh, the emails weren't the problem.. the fake news and tampering with voting machines was.

Tampering with voting machines?

Okay, we have another Internet superhero here...

Yup. IN fact, it's the only thing that make sense.

Every poll had Hillary and Feingold winning in WI...

Well you rich are "eccentric when you do weird stuff, while we "poe foke" are just dismissed as "crazy".

It doesnt matter though; I am quite comfortable with "crazy" and wear the word with pride.

I also avidly play MMOs [video games] and thoroughly enjoy killing my frienemies and watch anime. (No one can make me grow up ~sticks tongue out at~)

Most MMOs seem to be little more than persistent twich shooters. I play Lord of the Rings Online as it has the best back story and is more focused on questing and the immersion into Tolkien's world than just killing shit. Lol, in fact, things dont 'die' in that game, they become 'demoralized', roflmao.

But I love it. What is your favorite MMO? Just curious.

Lol, I had to build mine, with a lot of help from my better half. Total cost was around $2500 and it does OK. Of course that was about four years ago, lol.

The graphics card is an AMD Radeon 7800 with like 2 GB of memory, etc.

IT should contineu being good for a few more years.

Folks can call me "crazy" I literally don't care ( My emotions are colors, Purple ain't so bad )

Besides, normal is boring as hell

Ah LOTRO, I played with some of my minions but I'm not much of a PvE person - I'm a huge PvP player, though I do stick to the fantasy genre. I love playing archers in melee because it pisses off the folks I kill /sooo/ much, their rage sustains me! The only MMO I even really PvE'd in was WoW and that got stupid the last few patches (the panda patch made me quit heh)

Short list of games I enjoyed for a while; Rift, Elder Scrolls Online, Tera, Rift, Guild Wars 2, but my all time favorite is defiantly Warhammer Online which is based on a table top war game I used to play. (The original developer server went down a couple years ago, but there's a private server that I still play on occasionally.)

Warhammer Assault Shadow Warrior - YouTube ( In the interest of my personal privacy I'll just say some of these videos are mine and I know all of these players )

My only full "PvE" game is Total War: Warhammer, which is kind of a strategy battle game. It's very much a video representation of Warhammer Tabletop. Though even there you can fight other players armies.

Wow, those are some mighty clean machines. Mine looks like it has a couple of corpsees of dust in them, blowing all around. lol


do you ever put a fan blowing directly into the interior of the chasis? If you are overclocking that can take a few degrees off the temp. I only ask cause I didnt see any.

 

[MindWars]

OMFG! The main body of "evidence" in the report they just released ( Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections ) is based on the propaganda that RT put out ... we're a damned disgrace >.<

I could tell you some stories, but methinks they may be classifed.

Suffice it to say that the Chinese and Russian counter intel folks know exactly who all our agents are and we have practiced the same kind of stupidity in protecting critical classified information that the Democrats did with their own servers.

The management of our intel community are a freaking bad sad JOKE.

Not sure what is funny, Mindwars.

Our intelligence leadership sadly underestimated, for example, Soviet military expenditures for decades by an estimated 50% to 100% margin.

The Chicoms hacked into OPM and now have all the personnel files on everyone that has ever applied for a federal job, which includes our agents and analysts.

I could go on further and delve into about 8 more examples I know of where our USIC leadership, which consists mostly of political hacks, sycophants and incompetents, have totally screwed up and left their own personnel as well as the nation vulnerable and exposed to our enemies.

If the President is a pro-Open Borders zealot, the USIC will gladly produce reports and surveys that show that Open Borders improves national security, improves the nations health and slices ice cream perfectly. I mean it is just stupid how these whores just sell themselves out with each administration. It is a disgrace.

Why would you suppose that the leaders of our USIC are any better than the whores at the DOJ, the FBI or the SEC?

Naive people in the USA think that these bastards are patriots and would gladly give their lives in less than a heartbeat for their country.

Now *that* is laughable.

Sometimes working on a teeny screen doesn't go well , .

Oh yeah I thought it was funny because when you said " Me's thinks" I thought that was cute. That's all.

Congratulations! You've just unlocked a geeky wall-o-text I fucking love modding my rigs, expensive as fuck but OMG geek heaven!

Fans? PFFFT!

As it stands my system runs pretty cool as you can see on the heads up display I made:

buuuuut as you might see from the info on that, I'm putting in some serious water cooling so I can OC my CPU to 5.0MHz full time and OC my dual GPU's a bit more. Here's the pipe fittings in my top chassis and my custom dual reservoir that goes over them, as well as the 140x2 radiator that's installed in my desk behind my monitors. (The CPU Rad is in the second chassis.)

]

However, I have to learn XAML C Hash (basically windows gadget coding shit) to program this mess of PCBs

to control my dual loops (one for the two GPUS and one for my CPU) via temperatures, as well as a completely customized RGB LED lighting... idk system? My motherboard has a custom RGB LED tray beneath it:

Initial LED audio testing video

That lights up solid any color or flashes with music. That's an older video and I've greatly improved the audio response of the lighting, but it shows the water pipes that'll run along both sides of the MB to the GPUs and CPU, flashing left and right sound channels respectively, with the MB flashing in time to bass. I also have bias lighting on my triple monitors that reads the screen colors at the edges of each of each of them and matches the LEDs to it. There's controlled RGB lighting behind my guitars and violin as well heh

See also (if interested) Improved Audio LED response - 60Hz and lower

---

My last rig was a mess for a long time though, external PSU because my GPU was too big for the case and a straight-up rats nest of wiring until I cleaned it up with fully custom cables (I made all the cables in my current rig too):

I'd made light up wiring on my old rig, which was just flippin epic when it flashed with the music - El Wire is very limited in colors sadly, basically blue, green, red, or white:

I'm actually doing initial testing on El Wire like fiber optic cabling that can do the 16.5Mil colors off of WS2812 RBG LEDs - I intend to run those along the strings of my guitars and violin and have those coded to flash simulated chords in time with the music, it's going to be totally bad ass

Ok,, i think that probably beats an external fan.

But it is still so CLEAN.

You blow it out daily or what?

 

[EverCurious]

JimBowie1958 I vacuum my chassis' out maybe every other week - dust is nasty stuff if it gets in your electronics. But that's temporary because I'm still working on them, once I've got the lids on them they'll stay dust free. There's enough open space in the top chassis to not need a fan and the bottom stays pretty clean due to a combination of positive air pressure and dust filters over the intake fans.

My claim to fame is my htpc build I just put together. I'm running OpenElec/Kodi on it. AMD 5350, Asrock mobo, some xtreme something memory chips.

I haven't built on in a long while. I was surprised how memory chips have gone the dramatic marketing approach. They are all streamlined, sexy design like Bugatti was involved, extreme names, fancy panels. Very well made too.

Pervert. I'm not good at that stuff. I might try, I'm proud of it. I have a glass top so I can see all the goodies. 250 gig SSD. Plus the remote control maker I've been using, Intaset, makes a IR receiver that plugs into half a dual USB port on the mobo. So I can use the remote now instead of the mini keyboard I was using. Kodi was XBMC so any Microsoft media remote will work.

The AMD chip is a newer power miser. I'm using an old 19v laptop battery charger to power everything.

We're totally derailing >.< Don't beat us mods lol

Like circa windows media remote? Sweet. I never got around to one of those, at the time I watched all my movies and TV in the home theater, but since I've gotten 7.1 installed on my rig I've been watching Anime on it a lot. I've got an IR remote that can do play, pause, etc. but it only works in the DvD software I have, not the Blu-ray software :/

oooo speaking of SSDs - dude if anyone's looking for one (and hell yees they're worth every penny for boot times,) ScanDisk has a frickin 10 year warranty on their Extreme Pro SSD's, AMAZING! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHRYRLY/?tag=ff0d01-20 Reminds me of a Western Digital HDD - those damn things last a lifetime lol

GOP governors are in charge of purging voting lists that have erroneous information in the states they govern; 30+ at the last count. How come no republicans EVER hold fellow republicans accountable?

Because you criminal democrats block purging of illegal voters.
{RALEIGH
A U.S. District Court judge ruled on Friday that four counties must restore names to voter rolls that were part of a recent mass purge.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs came in response to a lawsuit filed Monday by the state NAACP. In the lawsuit, seeking an emegency halt to voter roll purges in Beaufort, Moore and Cumberland counties, NAACP representatives and several voters affected described the practice as an effort to suppress the African-American vote.

At issue was whether the North Carolina law that allows individual voters in this state to challenge anyone’s registration violates the National Voter Registration Act, which “prohibits the mass removal of voters from the rolls within the 90 days prior to the election.”}

US judge to NC counties: restore names of voters recently purged from rolls

Any attempts to purge registration rolls is met by legal attacks from the democrats, who depend on bad registrations to fuel the massive voter fraud they engage in.

I don't know if this will be visible enough, kinda small photo. It's a mini-atx board so the case is about 8"x8".

The remote can dun anything except turning on from off. Cold boot to ready is about 10 seconds.

I built the whole thing for $350. I don't need 8 gigs of ram or 250 gigs of SSD so it could be done for around $300.
