The End of Schengen

#Germany has finally bowed to the inevitable and will be bringing the era of free movement across #Europe to an end:

Germany will bring in controls on all its land #borders to deal with the ‘continuing burden’ of #migration and ‘Islamist #terrorism’, the country’s interior minister has told the #EU.

Nancy Faeser of the struggling Social Democrat party (SPD) has finally accepted that Germany has no choice but to enforce proper border controls if it has any hope of coping with the staggering amount of unauthorised entries.

According to German newspaper Bild, the new rules will see ‘harsh rejections of #migrants at the borders’.

Faeser has reportedly already informed the #EU #Commission of the decision, which is fuelled by deep-rooted panic over Germany’s current migrant situation and internal #security #threats.

I lived in #Europe pre-Schengen, and I won’t lie, it was really nice to be able to blitz right through the borders that used to take up to 45 minutes to get through. But what was convenient for day-trippers and tourists has been an absolute #nightmare due to the #criminals and #migrants who were also provided with easy and invisible movement throughout the #EuropeanUnion states and the non-EU #Schengen signees.

This has been coming for two or three years now; we’ve seen some of the big border infrastructure being built at the #borders of #France and #Spain, even though it isn’t being used yet. The police mostly use the toll booths as an ersatz border, but that only works for the highways.

#Brexit marked the beginning of the end for the EU, but the effective demise of Schengen marks another important step.

Интревью с NIGHTMARE : Мы все закодированы

Как и многие динозавры рок-музыки французский коллектив NIGHTMARE за условные 45 лет своей истории с момента основания в 1979 году (включая более, чем десятилетний перерыв в деятельности) претерпел множество изменений, как в отношении состава, так и стиля. Из основателей и вообще музыкантов, которые играли в группе во все времена, остался лишь басист Yves Campion. Он-то и ответил на наши вопросы по поводу нового альбома NIGHTMARE «Encrypted», 12-го по счету, вышедшего в начале июня, спустя четыре года после предыдущей работы "Aeternam". В коллективе продолжаются эксперименты со стилем и чехарда у микрофона. За время перерыва между дисками NIGHTMARE расстались с предыдущей вокалисткой Madie, записавшей песни для альбома 2020 года, и взяли на ее место новую певицу Barbara Mogore. Впрочем, как и в предыдущий раз, выбор снова оказался годным, как и сам материал – напористый, жесткий и динамичный.

#Windows #Recall demands an extraordinary level of #trust that #Microsoft hasn’t earned

This, as many users in #infosec communities on social media immediately pointed out, sounds like a potential #security #nightmare. That’s doubly true because Microsoft says that by default, Recall’s screenshots take no pains to redact sensitive information, from usernames and passwords to health care information to NSFW site visits. By default, on a #PC with 256GB of storage, Recall can store a couple dozen gigabytes of data across three months of PC usage, a huge amount of personal data.

Windows Recall demands an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earned

Op-ed: The risks to Recall are way too high for security to be secondary.

#3D #printer #nightmare fuel: Bambu X1C and P1P started printing while owners were asleep

source: https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/16/23064592/bambu-print-asleep-cloud-outage

What happened? In an official blog post, #Bambu says it’s still investigating but suspects that a #cloud outage is to blame. The company says its servers had two brief outages on Tuesday morning where the servers couldn’t confirm that the printers had actually printed — but instead of failing gracefully, they wound up sending the same print job again and again until it went through, Bambu’s staff believes.

What a film this is!

I first watched it in the theatres when it was released in Norway, and I've watched it again numerous times times afterwards. Still, this is one film I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching.

Mind you, this is David Lynch at his absolutely most surreal, so it may not be everybody's cup of tea. The first half is pretty straight forward, though. Fred and Renee obviously have some issues with their marriage, and when some mysterious video tapes start appearing on their doorstep things get even more uncomfortable between them.

And uncomfortable is the keyword here, especially in this first half. The stiff dialogue, the long silences, the bland decor of their apartment without any things to reflect their personality, everything just reeks of discomfort.

The second half of the movie seems to throw us into a completely unrelated story, although some of the characters and bits of dialogue seem familiar. This is where the film starts to become strange, and many may fall off. I recommend to stick it through though. While seemingly unrelated, this part actually explains what happened in the first part.

The film is visually stunning. Every scene and every shot is beautifully composed and accentuates the dreamlike reality of the film.

Highly recommended!

A Western Media Nightmare

A few weeks ago i had a nightmare:

I saw a TV show, (maybe a game-show) where there are two long tables that meet at one end (like a V). At each table sat people representing different countries of the world

At the place where the tables meet stood a person in a military uniform, i got a sense that this person was a NATO general. The general was judging the different countries and dividing the countries into "good" and "bad"

This was presented as entertainment (and propaganda) to the public watching

(Another random text I wrote - not sure how to tag them... at least this one has an image to go with it)

The Hypnonaut

The cockpit reeked of spilled beer and sweat. He laboriously climbed into the seat and put on his helmet. It was dark outside... and cold. His hands shook, black dust falling from them like the stars from the green sky. He had the fumes of his body and the dirty machine hanging in his nose, a stabbing pain in his gut, an emptiness, cold and painful in his breast. It was not a picnic this job, not a fruit cake, not a biscuit of rose mead, not a sweet frog. He turned on the broiler and the stew. Checked the altitude and carborundum. The instrument boards were old and covered in porridge. He hated his job.

The lights were changing. Soon the machine would lift its skirts and rise into the reverse abyss. He felt his senses change, the taste of blood in his mouth became perfumed in a sort of bitter way. He felt the bodies of the other place press against his pelvis, For a second he hoped that it would become erotic, that the machine would navigate in the atypical way it sometimes did. But a short look at the sky told him otherwise. The patterns were there. they stood out in a darker, colder green - terrifying the shit out of him.

He could not remember if he had applied for this job or if he had been drafted. He pulled the lever and slowly turned the steering wheel while the machine roared. Down under the knickers he could hear that one of the hold ups had a strange, rattling sound, the whole hosiery was falling apart. He opened the little refrigerator and took out a cold Carlsberg Elephant beer. She would hold. He stroked the warm skin of the seat affectionately. "My love," he mumbled while she shook in orgasms slowly rising from the ground. "My love."

She was a Hogwhore 3000 hypnowessel and she had brought him safely back each and every time. Old - yes, but he was still here. Still able to crawl out from the cockpit every morning. The emptiness in his breast began to ache. Patterns in the sky churned and collided. This mission was going to be a nightmare.

For the first time in a long while I have had time for some casual monster painting.

As my old Disapora pod which hosted this free culture project got closed I am posting my art here. You can see it using the #katharsisdrill and #darkkatharsisdrill tags.
