They used to be part of the same scene as Napalm Death, and played some of the same shows.

I’ve only recently seen one of these for the first time, in Bristol. I know they’re not rare but I was still ridiculously excited.

They never stand still so these are great shots!

That’s great to hear!

Ah no, I’m talking about Prospect Park in Reading, UK

Okay I think I’ve mentioned this before on one of your previous posts but I grew up near Prospect Park and seeing this photo took me back to being a child and being taken on that miniature railway.

Thank you for the nostalgia hit, and as always another wonderful photo ❤️

Honestly they bring it live. If you ever get the chance, go see them.

I’m pretty sore today but very, very happy.

Talent is a subjective term. There’s a talent to making music that strikes a chord with people, whether it’s technically skilled or not.

I’m quite partial to Kirin J Callinan - S.A.D. (video is slightly NSFW depending).

What you have described isn’t being mentally abusive. I’m really sorry you’re in this position. Please don’t convince yourself this behaviour makes you an abusive person: it doesn’t.

When your friends express that they want you to find help, it’s because they care about you. They want you to come out of this and thrive.

Thank you! I’ve never come across one but it sounds delicious.

I think the closest I’ve had is getting a beef sandwich with a pot of gravy to dip it in myself.

Nothing straight in this house!

Right, I understand.

There are browsers that implement a lot of Tor Browser’s anti-fingerprinting features, such as LibreWolf.

The problem is that if you’re connecting to a site from an unique IP address then you’re still uniquely identifiable regardless of how much your browser resists fingerprinting measures. If you have a dynamic IP address, information can still be derived from this to build an approximate profile for you (location, language, possible interests, statistically likely demographic bands etc.). It’s surprising how accurate these can get.

The strength of the anti-fingerprinting features in Tor browser is really an additional protection on top of the main anonymisation feature: the routing. Everyone using the Tor browser and routing appears (kind of) the same to a site.

Connecting through a VPN provider is a half-way measure, but still won’t be as good as Tor. To a site or tracker you’ll appear as one of a smaller set of people connecting from that VPN where your browser fingerprint is different from others in the pool of people connecting via that VPN. That may not be enough to personally identify you, but it’s enough to build a fairly well-targeted profile of you.

So tl;dr: anti-fingerprinting browser features are really cool and technically clever, but they don’t protect against all the ways you can be profiled. And somewhat counter-intuitively, using only browser-level de-anonymisation features could actually make you appear more unique to sites or trackers, because you’ll be one of relatively few people with that combination of browser and network connection profile.

Okay I’ve never heard of this before and I need to ask: what makes it “wet”?

Oh wow, I never used their ROM but I used Mull exclusively until I switched over to GrapheneOS.

A big part of the anonymisation of Tor is from the routing, so I’m doubtful that just using their Firefox customizations would be enough.

Using Tor Browser with default settings is probably the least time consuming way of reducing a site’s ability to uniquely identify you.

Haha alright, I’ll work on something and put it up when it’s ready.

Did you know as well that that lietmotif is also repeated in the bassline for Heresy?

Honestly I could infodump for hours about the sound design and composition of those albums, I love them so much.

I mean I’m reaching a bit with them because, at least for The Fragile, the motif isn’t particularly connected to a certain character.

Both The Downward Spiral and The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails contain lietmotifs.
