dead_mall··on Apparent absence of covid transmission at hair salon with face covering policy
From what you said then, we should all be living in air-bubbles for the rest of our lives like Bubble boy. There's your evidence.
dead_mall··on Apparent absence of covid transmission at hair salon with face covering policy
Yeah I forgot people want flawed backed-up statistics to support their claims... just go on WorldoMeter and look at how many recovered versus to how many died. It's just a fucking flu.

You think my reputation deserved to be wiped out just for sharing my personal experiences working at the hospital during this covid fad? Ok, dude.

dead_mall··on Apparent absence of covid transmission at hair salon with face covering policy
Hard to imagine that we went from a total lockdown 1 month ago to suddenly racial wars/ BLM the next month. Absolute clown world. Toxicity of this has already spreaded all over the world, people advocating for the same crap. Corona! BLM! Masks! Vaccines!

Hard data? I'm in the heart of it and have been dealing with it for 2 months now. Try living this shit instead of reading about it on all your favorite manipulated news outlet. I got my whole HN reputation wiped out clean just for speaking out on it Smfh!

Total LOL, The amount of screaming, spitting and close contact at these riots -- they've all should of been infected and marked as covid patients already. No one is transmitting anything other than their stupidity.

Why didn't anyone get sick? Cause it's not real or as serious as the media is making it as*. How is that there is all these protestors and not a single one of them ended up in the damn hospital from attracting Covid? It's total bullshit

dead_mall··on Python malware on the rise
Python is very versatile from a malware perspective, especially toward anything *nix since python is always pre-installed. There are tons of pip packages that can be used to the bad guy's advantage that they don't have to rewrite themselves (e.g. keyloggers, video camera related packages. All they need to do is have a way to deploy it and receive the data, then it's just a matter of hiding the communication. Building loaders, reverse shells and bypassing AV is hell of a lot easier in Python as well.

See PupyRAT, a full-on multi-os admin tool mainly written in Python (2 unfortunately, also it's buggy and outdated), it's a great example. They use a C wrapper around their remote admin tool that is written in Python. Their (C) loader downloads the provided Python payload from an http link, stores it in a specific memory address that gets executed right after. Because it's in memory, it doesn't touch the disk, Unless you are using the Windows payload (which provides multiple options to hide the program using a set of windows' exploits).

dead_mall··on COVID-19 Cases Are Rising, So Why Are Deaths Flatlining?
Because the virus is not real or not as serious as the media is making it as....The whole BLM movement has been slowing down the number of cases if anything, but now that the rioting has been dying down, they want to bring back Corona narrative. They also want to make #StayHome a thing again. All covid statistics have been proven to be flawed and if not, suspiciously fake. If covid was a real pandemic, all rioters would have symptoms and be dead, yet here we are having to wear cloth masks everywhere we go cause it's mandatory.

Worldometer shows that 92% of covid cases already have been recovered, leaving only 8% that actually died from corona (so they say). There were sources saying that lot of the elderly patients in NYC died through complications of breathing problems leading to suffocation from the ventilators they used. So people were accidentally dying and marking their death as Covid. Sounds a lot like the cases here in the West side where someone get shot, they mark their death as covid related.

Even the doctors where I work are truly skeptic to this bull crap. What Hospital is overworked with Covid patients in the US? I thought all hospitals were busy making twerking videos on TikTok whilst demanding more ventilators & masks. Clown times we are living in. The confusion in OP's article says it all

Same...... Same.
dead_mall··on The Nucleon, Ford's 1958 nuclear-powered concept car that never was
I'd imagine that if you got into a car accident in a nuclear-powered car, it would blow up like a mini-nuke just like in Fallout
dead_mall··on An Examination of Physics in Video Games
>For example, imagine what it would be like to play Grand Theft Auto V with unforgiving physics — there's a mod for that by the way.

A mod? GTA IV! The article should of showed a gameplay clip of gta 4's racing and especially the car damage physics. It's far more complex than what gta 5 offered. I was hoping to see a gta 4 mention lol

dead_mall··on Show HN: PNGR – Docker-compose for a Postgres-Nginx-Golang-React stack
The other day, I just made my first, something a lot similar: postgres+nginx+python+php, but yours is much more proper than mine. Yours is the example I really needed, thank you
dead_mall··on Why GNU/Linux Viruses Are Fairly Uncommon
> Most malware code I've seen is terribly written and barely works.

Yeaah cause someone is just going to be so kind enough to share their perfect example of what malware code should look like to the rest of the world.. (actually there's an F ton available on Github, quasar, pupyrat, etc) Don't be so naive man. As a hobbyist malware programmer myself, I know that you don't know what you're really talking about other than pointing out skids targeting Windows (cause most available malware/RATs are targeted for windows) and use Kali cause-so-many-yt-tutorials.

edit: fwiw, I find it much easier writing malware under *nix cause they come with python and a bunch of dev libs, where as windows I have to dynamically load libraries in sneaky ways. Also implementing rootkits & RunPEs can be pretty damn puzzling -- definitely not that easy as you say

Scary enough, search for Incels[.]is and you'll find a forum/home dedicated to exactly that behavior.

I mean, there's already Visual Code, an Electron IDE pretty much.
dead_mall··on How Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun punished the computers of the day [video]
Ah just seeing C&C getting brought up brings back nostalgic memories. I remember Red Alert 2 being the best game ever.

I revisited this game with a friend of mine during high school years ago, we had to pirate the game and install some 3rd party LAN software to get RA2's online mode working. Once installed, we were surprised to see a good amount of people still playing the game. Good times

I was thinking the same thing. The RAT they used is well known in underground skiddie forums; it's known for being expensive and shitty.

What else would it be? Some in house software, mysql based currency system?

What is it about cryptocurrency that people still don't get?

dead_mall··on Sony and Microsoft set rivalry aside for cloud gaming alliance
Even trying to stream via LAN is unplayable. It's especially much worse streaming from a server that's thousands of miles away from your home.

I got 200mbs download and half the upload speed, I played plenty of PS Now titles, and the only problem I have with it is the input lag. There's no escape to it. You cannot play fast-paced games with such delay, especially multiplayer-FPS games, it's just terrible. It's better to have the hardware to play than to play remotely. Unless you don't mind 1-3 second (+ additional cause you're using the internet) input lags, then game streaming is just for you

dead_mall··on Bitcoin is up 125 Percent in 2019
The title ignored the first few months of sideways, but still is not wrong. The 3-Monthly change for Bitcoin is up 120%+, so anyone who bought during the beginning of the year & hodl'd is up more than the title says

dead_mall··on Luakit – fast, extensible, and customizable web browser
Concern in the sense that some people don't want to be using the same kit as other browsers do. (E.g. this guy https://reddit.com/r/qutebrowser/comments/a4uk9r/use_of_webk...)
dead_mall··on Luakit – fast, extensible, and customizable web browser
Qutebrowser is nice, but it uses the same webengine (QtWebengine) that chrome uses. This is a concern for some

dead_mall··on Chinese Media Warn WeChat Admins: "You Can Be Arrested for Group Chat"
This makes me think of this Reddit meme I saw in the Gaming section, the gist of it: if you mentioned some specific chinese massacre in a game with chinese players, they would all leave the game.
