Crass Spektakel

In my whole life I never bought digital audio or video content on vinyl, VHS, CD, DVD, Blueray. Never ever. It sounds as weird to me like paying for air to breath.

But one day I visited a live concert of a small band which I loved as a teenager. After the show I met with their drummer, gave him €200 cash and said “You know, when I was young you were cool about kids copying your music without paying. You told us if we like you music we can enjoy it. And if we can afford it, we can pay you. Back then I couldn’t. Today I can.”

And so I paid them five times as much as I saved back then by copying their music.

Feel free to quote and analyse any mistakes I made in detail.

And if you can’t: Then you are lying.

Whenever a Left-Extremist does something stupid his buddies just claim “Well, he wasn’t Left anyway. Lets just pretend he was a Nazi instead, haha.”

Brilliant. But easy to see through.

The Right-Extremist takes peoples property and life because they are the wrong race. The Left-Extremists takes peples property without reason and life because we wasn’t left enough.

Stalin and Pol Pot and Saddam used mostly the same methods as Hitler and as Pinochet and just like the Taliban.

They wanted total power to reform the society to their day dreams. There is not much difference if you call your Economy Plan “Five Year Plan” or “Maximale Kriegswirtschaft”. In the end everyone gets under the foot of the Big Brother, the Grosser Führer, вождь woschd (Yes, Stalin let himself call Führer as did several other Extremist leaders).

We need to learn that the Extremists are much further away from the middle than the parties of the middle to each other. But also the Extremists are much closer to themselves.

Even Trump and Putin show a lot of those methods and while Trump dreams of US Fascism and Putin dreams of Reviving Stalinism their Objectives are just the same: Total power for themselfes.

Oh, I hear you already screaming “But they weren’t Socialists/Fascists” - well, they were part of the Socialist International, they called themselves Socialists and people travelled there to see Socialism. “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.”

The Way less extreme people defend themselves from the more extreme people is just “But they weren’t true right/left wing. They were something else!” - Boy, I am so tired of it. If 99% if your ventures into Extremism always end the same then I see a pattern that the results will ALWAYS be the same.

And seeing how easily East Germans nowadays change from Ultra-Left to Ultra-Right and visa versa I say: Proof by Observation in the Wild.

I am not even talking about the US where 90% of the people simply don’t even understand what left, right, middle, liberal and Extremism means. When giving a kid free health care is socialism and people think free voting is disrespectable liberalism.

Well, I can tell you, in Europe Extremist Voters switch without thinking twice between far left and far right.

Methods, Objectives and Goals are the same, just the arguments differ slightly.

Both hate the West, especially the US and Israel, both hate the way we live but without offering a better way. Both want to burn down the house just to see who survives. Only the Arguments differ, the left hate the people running their own society, the right hate the people running other society.

And always remember, Hitler was a National-SOCIALIST.

The difference between the extreme wings is miniscule. Methods, Objectives and Goals are the same, just the arguments differ slightly.

In Germany half of the voters of the Ultra-Left Party “Linkspartei” went within one election to the Ultra-Right Party “Alternative für Deutschland”. Even starnger, the AfD is financed by Putin who wants to recreate Stalinism, which is Ultra-Leftist, while the AfD wants to recreate a Führer-Cult which is Ultra-Right. And still both cooperate perfectly.

But don’t think the US is better. While Linkspartei and AfD together are 15% in the US the equally Extremist-Trumpists are close to 50%.

People need to understand that the Extremists on the wings are closer to each other than to the middle. While the middle tries to better things in small steps the Extremists want to burn the house down with everyone inside and then see who survives.

I’m assuming by “dot” you meant @

In fact both are optional. With FQDN-Adressing a user without domain defaults to localhost, with Bang-Adressing there is no @ because the last system is left for interpretation of the last receiver and if he consideres it a user, so be it.

I rooted my 2013 Samsung TV and overclocked it from 800 to 1200Mhz (the whole system is actually build for 1200Mhz but only the Highend-Ones are qualified for it). To my surprise the amount of data it send to Samsung was quite reasonable but still I removed most of it. Full removal of Internet is not an option because then I lose HbbTV and Prime TV which is like 50% of what I use that device for. And since I rooted it I also use it for BS and the public broadcasting mediatheks. Also, it now runs Quake2 in 1920x1080 in ~20fps.

try user@123.45.67.89.in-addr.arpa or user@d.e.a.d.b.e.e.f.0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.a.b.c.d.e.f.0.0.0.0.1.2.3.4.ip6.arpa just for the giggles. Mix it with BANG-Adressing:

123.45.67.89.in-addr.arpa!d.e.a.d.b.e.e.f.0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.a.b.c.d.e.f.0.0.0.0.1.2.3.4.ip6.arpa!user

No, dots are NOT necessary. Actually you do not even need to supply a domain or a top level domain because mails then default to the default system which is usually localhost.

But even for routed mail there doesn’t need to be a dot.

There is still valid Bang-Adressing for UUCP routed emails:

!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me

This is a valid email which basically means “send my email to bigsite, from there to foovax, then to barbox, to the user me.”

And if you are in a playful mood - mix FQDN and BANG addressing…

A couple of years ago I made Hotmail crash by sending a mail to googlemail.de!hotmail.com!googlemail.com!hotmail.de!googlemail.ca!hotmail.ca!googlemail.fr!hotmail.fr!.. [repeated it for 32kByte] …!myuseraccount - their server literally crashed completely all over the world for like 15 minutes. I am so proud of myself but then it was their fault for not complying to RfC822.

Don’t try to derail the discussion. Toothbrush argued that the Holdomor never happened while the whole world knows somewhere between three and five million Ukrainians died during this part of Stalins reign. We never even discussed if it was a genocide.

So show your true intentions and explain to me:

1. Did Millions die during the Holdomor?
2. Did it happen because Stalin stole the food?
3. Did Stalin and Putin forbid to talk about it?

And as a nice excursus, the total numbers of people dying to Stalins misrule is nearly the same as those who died to the Axis Invasion. A nice chap, old Stalin, isn’t he? But calm down, he is only number two after Mao in murdering his own people. And that is what Putin is aiming for, recreation of Stalinism.

-Holodomor after the Soviet archives opened: The Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-1933. While the Soviet government initially denied the existence of the famine, evidence of the Holodomor has emerged from various sources, including Soviet archives. The opening of these archives has allowed researchers to further study and document the tragedy. You are basically claiming the Soviets and Putin themselves are lying. And you know what happens to people who say Putin lies.

-Debunking of the Holodomor: The Holodomor has been widely recognized as a tragic event in which millions of Ukrainians died due to forced collectivization and deliberate policies by the Soviet government. While there have been attempts to downplay or deny the extent of the famine in the past, the overwhelming consensus among scholars and researchers is that the Holodomor was a real and devastating event.

-Ukrainian collaboration with the Holocaust: It is true that there were instances of collaboration by some individuals and groups in Ukraine during World War II. However, it is important to note that these collaborations were not representative of the entire Ukrainian population. Many Ukrainians were victims of the Holocaust themselves, and others actively resisted the Nazi regime.

-William Randolph Hearst and Nazi collaboration: There have been allegations and claims suggesting that William Randolph Hearst collaborated with the Nazis. While Hearst’s media empire did have a complicated relationship with Nazi Germany, it is important to approach such claims with critical analysis and rely on credible historical sources to understand the nuances and facts surrounding this topic. Basically your argument is “because a Nazi sympathisant wrote the Soviets were blood drinking madmen they were actually nice guys”.

It’s important to approach historical topics with an open mind and rely on reputable sources, including academic research and scholarly consensus. While historians may have different interpretations and perspectives, the field of history relies on evidence-based analysis and rigorous research methodologies to uncover the truth to the best of our knowledge.

ChatGPT is awaiting your next hate speech eagerly.

Ah, the beauty of repeating the same stupid claim to make it appear more true.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for alternative viewpoints, it’s worth noting that mainstream academic consensus is typically based on extensive research, rigorous analysis, and a wealth of evidence. If you’re inclined to embrace Nazi propaganda as a historical truth, you might find yourself in the rather exclusive company of conspiracy theorists. But hey, who needs consensus when you can have a party of one?

Well, I must say, your unique perspective certainly adds a touch of humor to the conversation! Your ability to find amusement in the unlikeliest of places is truly admirable. Keep those witty remarks coming, and you might just give the comedians a run for their money!

Suuure… Stalin was an agent of the West, send to kill Russians. Just like Dschingis Khan and Mohammed. All Agents of the West.

Thank you for making me aware of everything.

Classic communist tactics, Tovarishch, and if it fails you just didn’t believe hard enough…

In what way is the Late Victorian Age “Pro-Western”? In the same way Dschengis Khan was “Pro-Western”? Besides, ONE book is quite vague for such an assumption as your claim isn’t even listed in the list of great famines.

Oh, and you claim the Holodomor didn’t happen? Well, let me guess, Stalin also didn’t got 30 million sowiet people killed?

Tovarishch, your lies gave away whose bread you eat.

Well, actually I am sharing “Wikipedia Propaganda” but if you want to call Wikipedia Nazi-Propaganda…

And yes, the only pro-Western nation ever falling into a serious Food-Crisis was… Haiti.

See, I know we are doing something right. I am not sure what we do right and there is enough things we don’t do right but… the right things we do amazingly right. If that is because the Ghosts of Hitler are possessing us all or that we are just not a bunch of utter idiots - you call.

Here a nice example what happenes when you give the means of production to “the people”:

At least on Debian/Ubuntu I can use tasksel to select a useful preset of packages right while installing. Base is just a text mode shell with minimal command line tools, Server has some Network Stuff, LXQT, Gnome and so on… for the total N00b it is fine to default to KDE or Gnome, I prefer LXQT though. And tbh, I think Firefox, Libreoffice and VLC are useful preinstall in nearly every use case while the usual stuff on Windows is pretty useless (Another Antivirus? Really? A trial version of a paint programm inferior to Gimp 1.0? Office 365?)
