  • I liked all of Dune, except for the first half of Messiah. The core of Asimov’s stuff is really good. It is all interesting, and there is merit to the short stories originally published in magazines, but the real stories with continuous threads are the best. The later the story was written in his life, the better they got in terms of immersion. However, there are many little nods to other works interwoven. They are not built upon each other in such a way as to be unreadable, or appear like ads or something. There are just plot elements that will be lost upon you as a more basal mystery versus something that is much more deeply layered in meaning.

    In terms of free, Carroll’s original Alice in Wonderland is amazing to visit as an adult. Machen’s The Great God Pan is another fun little work that is very readable. Both are on Gutenberg, and YT in audio form.


  • This assumes truth exists or that cops care about right or wrong, or that what a cop believes is relevant.

    First of all, cops are data collectors in this dimension. Nothing about right or wrong matters with them. They are not judges. You need to be very aware of this, and when they can kill you. You must know when to do exactly as they say, and exactly when to tell them no. In every other circumstance stfu and say absolutely nothing. When a cop is copping, you are a lump of solder. Talking is heat. Once stuck to copper, there is no going back. The rest is only up to the judge and jury. You will need to spend around $100k in any case in court. If you do not have this money to burn, you are fucked. The blindness of justice in the now, is the blindsiding of those that do not understand how court is a major burier of caste. TV shows project the diluted nonsense about philosophical morality, but it is not really like that at all. There is not someone that will fight for you for free. The pedantic language is inaccessible to most, and the convoluted rules are a nonsensical patchwork of hacks and stupid mistakes that are a minefield to navigate. Part of the mistake is to think those mines are ignorance or unintentional. Most are not passive but active with corrupt interests holding the trigger for each one. They lie, watching your every move, hoping to pull the trigger and kill for kicks and giggles. The USA has a tenth of the laws on the books as a country like Germany. That is extremely intentional. The ambiguity is the minefield.

    Inherited wealth caner cannot lead, cannot innovate, and hates any who can as the biggest threat to their existence and hegemony. The cancer doubles back, talks about fuckwit nonsense like morality of the populous to hide their own ineptitude from self. Their era feels stagnant, like some final state of progress because of their lack of leadership. Is the age of scientific discovery complete? Is biology a fully understood engineering corpus broken into code one programs with complete understanding?

    The reason crime shows exist is manipulative in nature. These are owned by the bunker island cuck cancer. Nothing they offer you is legitimate or benevolent, especially any influence of emotions and perspective philosophy.

    Nothing about your attitude or state is relevant to the cops. Any information they are able to collect and spin is fair game. It benefits them when they sell a story. They are in the business of selling stories. They are not supposed to do so. They are supposed to be indifferent and collect all the possible data. That is not reality. Humans are lazy and time is artificially pressured for results. The path of least resistance is always taken. They cover their own ass at the edge of the minefield, but they laugh and cackle in the entourage at the edge of the minefield too.

    In reality, court is a meaningless formality and financial warfare by proxy. You must be willing and able to spend more than the enemy, and to doing so result in your own advantage. This is the only function it plays. The way it works is simple. Each expert witness will cost you between $5k-$20k. These are all academic mercenaries. Most are unable to practice in their field for likely criminality gone unpunished. They are experts in what to say in their respective legal domain and hold the credentials in tack to go unchallenged. Right and wrong are totally irrelevant. These argue anything you would like for their fee and will do so in a way that holds considerable sway, especially if unanswered, and herein lies the swindle. For every legal expert the enemy conjures, you must respond in kind or you will lose. It does not matter what a judge or jury thinks. No one will sit on your case and front the $100k. You must pay the attorney for weeks of real work before each stage of the case goes before a judge. Some may float these funds for you, if the work load is small. The problem is that how the case unfolds is unknown. They are at risk of all that unpaid work, which will likely be under valued by all in the end. They have likely been burned by this many times before. So they are not going to fight a dozen mercenaries for you by themselves. If you are unable to equip your forces and march them into battle lord, perhaps it be better to sell self to thy enemy, lest one ends up in a federated homeless camp halfway unhouse. The for profit prison slave market beckons you to believe there is philosophical justice. Ignorance is grooming of slaves. Their pay is extortion from your family.

    Extortion and privateering are the only reliable means for those of the nepotism of inherited wealth cancer to maintain their hierarchical standing. They have no vision of the future to sell in their actions beyond lies and words. They are cowards of conservatism.

    Police are the dogs of the regime; judges are the many guards outside the royal court. Their primary job is to stop you from getting behind them and into the royal ranks. There is no idealist shortcut to paying the tolls and bribes required to penetrate their ranks.

    One of the biggest barriers is insurance. They get a bulk discount on experts in large numbers. They are some of the most powerful lords of the realm. You will not field a larger army of more criminal and experienced mercenary raiders. Besting one of them is a heist of considerable undertaking. All of us are taxed to the cause of these lords by royal decree for a reason.

    What is shown on TV is simply a curtain on a stage in front of a prison camp. How you react is irrelevant. Saying exactly what is required, complying exactly when required, and saying absolutely nothing else is all that matters. The idea that your emotional state is relevant to the dogs is preposterous. That your emotional state is feed for them to tear and gnaw as some kind of right is propagandistic misinformation.

    Voting here is mostly bots that follow a similar path. I have lived this court experience to know it. •»ÀĪÙ¬«









  • 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.


  • Afford healthcare? Nah, all the elderly and disabled that cannot keep up with the capitalist grinder, are in prison or victims of the systematic suicide machine. It is like federated extermination camps without the paper trail for accountability. Such is reality of my life after being disabled by a fuckwit. The system you likely imagine to be there, but have not looked into in depth, is not. Big trees rot from the inside.

    The problem is fundamentally simple. Gross inherited wealth is societal cancer. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans, but wealth is. There are no real leaders right now, because none of them have meritocratic validity; all inherited their wealth, like this one. Pass on as many upper middle class trust funds as you wish, but no other form of wealth whatsoever is transferrable. That one filter removes every problem name you know. In time it will fix the problem, at the forfeit of us. Japan is the only western aligned culture that is already inherited-wealth-cancer free. At the present, they are the only country that survives long term. The succession crisis that killed monarchy exists in all of the upper class, and is just as toxic.





  • I’m not sure about software, but in my crash, the law firm paid to have the files extracted from an old crushed Garmin 810 IIRC the model. It was the 8xx series. They person said it only had to be connected to USB to access the files. The data is just a CSV with the waypoints and sensor data. Once the file is extracted, it is basically just spreadsheet fodder.

    Not sure about newer stuff.

    From my experience with brands, Lezyne is just a small crew of nerds. They have experience with PIC microcontrollers and usually use them. Same with Campagnolo digital shift stuff from a decade ago.

    Most are shooting for USB drive emulation for file transfer. So on Linux, you will need membership in the dialout group, and the udev rules.d file with the manufacturer ID and device ID from the microcontroller to access the files directly and any serial stream that may be present. The instructions are the same as any basic Arduino setup.

    If you find or guess the baud rate and get a serial port connection, they usually have an API menu.
