Can the authors of the TheVault website check their tips email or their spam folder? I'm hearing that some people elsewhere sent in some tips, but since there is no auto-reply turned on, there is no way to confirm if their email was received by their email provider. Thank you.
Only one e-mail received and it's from a noreply address. They do check the email.
 
It appears it's hardcoded to fetch your own statuses only and I can't be arsed to fix that. Now i remembered Crunk used to have her own solution that has no such restrictions, but it's using postgres to store the posts and thus isn't something that you could just zip up and send elsewhere witohut some additional conversion.
Her? I thought crunk's profile picture was for shits n giggles.
 
Drew returned (a) to Mastodon and is now showcasing some basic 3d engine written in his toy lang. Attempts at getting comments about the situation he dug up for himself have been met with predictable reaction (a).

It occurred to me what I would do if I were Drew right now. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I don't think I would end up in this situation at all, but he could get away with it if he just apologized and started showing some kindness over anger and vindictiveness. He won't, but that's what I would do if I were him.
 

Drew's @sir@cmpwn.com posting history​

I modified Crunk's fediarchiver to use SQLite (again) and scraped all 16046 entries of @sir@cmpwn.com via https://fsebugoutzone.org/users/116. The posts span from April 2017 to December 2020.

For some reason the order in which some of the posts came through from fsebugoutzone is slightly out of order with respect to the real created_at date, so some posts (mainly older ones I think) will appear out of order. I think a portion of the oldest posts are missing from the fsebugoutzone cache as well, FYI.

I exported the lot to the attached sqlite3 db file, but I also wrote a script to take only the posts and replies (no boosts) and output their HTML content, timestamp, original URL and fsebugoutzone.org archive URL to JSON, in this format:

JSON:
    {
        "archive_url": "https://fsebugoutzone.org/notice/A2Qqhtx8YPZAMUBJrM",
        "content": "<p>Calling all. This is our last cry before our eternal silence.</p>",
        "created_at": "2020-12-21T16:58:22.000Z",
        "url": "https://cmpwn.com/@sir/105419237158997746"
    },

I'd recommend downloading the JSON file (compressed it's only about 1.5MB).

Why is he attacking RMS if he's a Loli lover?

That's like attacking the afghan taliban when you're a pro-marry-little-girls believer.
I don't understand this.

Long ago men could marry young girls because they didn't fight amongst themselves when it came to women's rights: instead they moved as a self-interested solid bloc to enslave the pretty young girls as their many wives.
Then the white man was invented in 1795.

(except the greeks, who would kill any man interested in marrying a girl because "how dare anyone like my daughter", and anyone going after women since they were allready married. The original greeks do not exist any longer. Neither will whites soon, both for the same reason)
 
For some reason the order in which some of the posts came through from fsebugoutzone is slightly out of order with respect to the real created_at date
Happens when the user has no followers on that specific server and thus all his posts get fetched when someone else interacts with them instead of getting pushed by remote server directly. Trusting remote timestamps is not an option since anyone could put a date long in the past or in the future and there's no mechanism to verify just it.

Ctrl+F loli returned only one result in a form of randomly generated ID in url containing that string, guess at least he had enough braincells to not shit in the same place he feeds.

It's offensive to call going through the LearnOpenGL.com tutorial a "game engine", even a basic one.

I can't believe someone actually used that code for something. Feels practically ancient at this point, back when I was still writing golang code.
 
How hard would it be to create a fedi instance that just records everything and federates with everyone? Seems like something that would be useful for people like drew and hector.

Pretty much any Pleroma instance that doesn't block everyone on the network would do.

To tell you why an exclusive instance for this would be a bad idea, aside from being a waste of resources, is that bootstrapping the fediverse network™ has never really had a consensus, so you're just supposed to follow people you like or use the relay feature which basically sends all outgoing posts to your instance. Problem being that following all the cows with followbots might raise suspicion, and Mastodon (or Akkoma) instances (that all the trannies use for some reason) either don't have relays or disable relays by default due to muh gangstalking, so there's a high chance people will nullroute your instance or something.

It may be very hard for Null to do, at least. I'm reminded of a news story about a group of children overwhelming the Fediverse with very simple programs. All of the code is bloated and doesn't work well, so Null would have no chance of keeping an instance like that up. Then again, I have no practical experience with this, so I guess I shouldn't be so certain.
 
Also it appears one more scraper was enough for p to lock down the API.
Well damn. For the record (if pistolero ends up reading this somehow), I was scraping Drew's account (although I'd thought that downloading ~800 pages of posts over the better part of an hour wasn't too inconsiderate), and was reading some of crunk's posts from the same IP. I don't know anything about the "very large number of hosts" or the other accounts though. My bad though :|

Rather surprised an instance named "Free Speech Extremist" isn't just automatically in one of their huge ban lists and managed to have all the posts.
As for resources, if possible it would be rather funny to have an instance that only stores posts when someone tries to delete them.

It is, but it's an instance that people actively engage on and isn't some dormant federator that pulls in posts without any users. I was making the point that an instance specifically only to archive people would get you blackholed, most people don't go out of their way to nullroute instances but if an instance like you mentioned exists, they might start doing that.

kiwifarms.cc, if it was still up, would've worked just as well as other public Pleroma intsances in terms of pulling in cows' posts.

While going through the old @sir@cmpwn.com archives I found the exact moment that Drew was buck broken by troons

2020-01-16:
troon-wars-1.pngtroon-wars-2.pngtroon-wars-3.pngtroon-wars-4.png
Here is the highlights of the thread, flattened into a linear set of posts. I've labelled Drew as "D" and various different troon hecklers all as "T". Emphasis mine:
T: This is an emergency. South Dakota is pushing to pass a law that would make affirming trans youth a crime. It is extreme and dangerous. If they succeed, it could start a tidal wave of these horrendous bills. We have already lost trans advocates in South Dakota and we need to lift up our people. Mobilize to oppose HB1057. https://sdlegislature.gov/Legislative_Session/Bills/Bill.aspx?Bill=1057

---

D: @DissidentKitty I am definitely going to get shit for this, but based on the pictured section it looks like this is making it illegal to do sex-reassignment treatments and surgeries on minors - NOT generally "criminalizing affirming trans youth". I'm not entirely against prohibiting minors from undertaking life-changing elective medical procedures.

---

T: @sir @DissidentKitty If you read the text of the bill closer, you would also realize that much of the language (particularly (3) under Section 2) prohibits hormone replacement therapy and not just elective surgeries (which minors usually don't have anyway).

---

D: @DissidentKitty does puberty resume normally if you stop taking these medications? If so then I agree that this is a bad bill, if not then I stand by my point.

---

T: @sir @DissidentKitty Uh surgeries without a legal representative(~parent) agreeing to it why not (I mean tatoos requires that here).
But hormones and stuff like that should be possible to do.

And this is just to undermine trans folks, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to avoid surgeries/medication which should not be done on intersex people that would be fine without them.

T: @sir Go fuck yourself.

---

D: @DissidentKitty man, that approach to discussion doesn't help trans politics at all. People you tell to go fuck themselves can still vote, and aren't going to be sympathetic to your cause.

---

T: @lanodan @sir @DissidentKitty Yeah, reading the bill more it specifically exempts surgeries on intersex minors, so this is really just a very transparent effort to criminalize seeking effectual treatment for being trans if you're under 18 in South Dakota.

T: @sir @DissidentKitty AFAIK it does resume ~normally (as far as puberty goes with knowing it has been paused), some States in EU which are quite pro-trans are letting some people do that until they are declared old enough to attempt other therapy.

---

D: @lanodan @DissidentKitty gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Reversible treatments like that should totally not be made illegal, I agree that's bullshit.

T: @lanodan @sir @DissidentKitty Yeah, puberty blockers are definitely purely reversible and the only lasting effects from such would be ~slightly~ lower mineral bone density than if they had gone through "normal" puberty.

T: @sir a) yes, puberty does resume
b) being trans isn't a choice that you get to make once you turn 18
c) this bill is at odds with current medical research and standards
d) this bill specifically targets trans people in ways that are legal for cis people.

---

D: @cambrian_era (a) thanks for clarifying, other people have said the same and I agree that banning would be some bullshit (b) is obvious, and not the matter under discussion (c) & (d) can you elaborate? (e) yeah, not a fan of this, but it's a more complex issue

---

D: @ben @DissidentKitty not sure I understand what you're saying here, but it sounds like you're saying that doctors can be trusted to do what's right for the patient and thus the law is unnecessary? Doctors are not infalliable or universally just/correct, there's a reason we have malpractice law

---

T: @sir The current standards of care use puberty blockers to delay puberty until a child can make a more informed decision. They're commonly used for precocious puberty. If you don't do this, then people undergo permanent, life-altering changes (puberty). What people look for is persistent and insistent identification with their stated gender.

---

D: @ben @DissidentKitty not necessarily, the patient can be in group 1 as well. There's a reason I explicitly draw attention to "elective life-changing" surgeries. Minors do not possess the mental maturity to make decisions like that for themselves.

D: @cambrian_era thanks for explaining the current standard, I suspected this but wasn't sure. It also plays into stuff that's been discussed in other threads - I agree that puberty delaying drugs should not be made illegal for minors.

I am vehemently against circumcising children. Breast reductions are a grey area I don't know enough to comment on. Saying that we shouldn't address X because we don't address Y is a whataboutism.

---

T: @sir @ben @DissidentKitty they're old enough to commit suicide, which many of them do

---

D: @trickster @ben @DissidentKitty lots of people mid-transition and post-transition commit suicide, too. I think this is a separate issue.

---

T: @sir But you CAN ask why certain life-altering decisions spark panic among the general populace while others go ignored.

I can't imagine that you would legitimately argue that any and all medical decisions that will have long-term effects be held off until a person is 18.

It's not 'whataboutism', it's asking why this is.

---

D: @allison @trickster @DissidentKitty I wasn't trying to create causation where there correlation. I'm sorry, l retract that post.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: The user @kd, that is being extremely belligerent to Drew, is "yiff.life/@kd", and seems to have not been cached in this conversation]

D: @kd I totally understand that level of emotion and find it justified, but I also believe it's important to be able to speak levelly about such issues. The matter at hand isn't the murder and assault of trans people in public, or legislating away their existence, if it were then a much greater level of outrage would be appropriate. You could argue that it's part of a broader trend which implicates these more severe issues, but I don't think that justifies escalation. To curb these laws you will have to be able to level a good-faith argument against them to your legislators, and attempt to educate them on trans issues in good faith. If you tell them to go fuck themselves for being ignorant, it'll never help trans issues succeed, no matter how important or justified they are.

D: @cambrian_era I'm not arguing that, no. I'm arguing that elective, irreversible treatments should be held off. I don't think minors should get tattoos, either (not to trivialize trans identity at the level of getting a tattoo, but to show how the argument generalizes).

Anyway, I appreciate your willingness to engage with and educate me. I have a more subtle understanding of the matter now than I did before.

---

T: @sir If the rationale for the bill is that minors and their parents AND their doctors cannot make life-altering decisions, then that rationale should be applied to everyone, not just to trans people.

---

D: @cambrian_era hmm, are you arguing that if this is the justification, this bill resolves it at the wrong level - trans rights - rather than at the level it uses for justification - elective life-altering medical procedures for children?

If so, I think that it would be very difficult to make an enforcable law which is that general. I think the other issues we've discussed - circumcision, breast reduction, intersex surgery - are important to address, but individually. This philosophy of legislation will naturally lead to bills which address each of these issues in isolation.

---

T: @sir You wouldn't make a law like that because it would be ludicrous. There are all sorts of cases where a given treatment might be considered elective and to override the patient, parents, doctors, and medical research would be unjust and inflict unnecessary suffering.

A rational path would be to examine a given treatment and look at its outcomes.

---

D: @kd is this difficult? Fucking absolutely. When your very identity is under attack, it's about as difficult as it gets. But difficult or not, the solution doesn't change. It's hard to approach people as equals when they won't extend you the same courtesy, but you need to stand up and face that difficulty or things arne't going to change. And it's especially problematic if you approach people with hostility just because they're ignorant - they're not even your enemy, but they could easily become it in light of your hostility.

---

T: @sir @kd

No.

This isn't a dry, neutral discussion about like, adopting highways or something. Trying to keep us "civil" is trying to keep us from getting uppity.

We're rude because it's warranted. There's a time for calm discussion and education, and there's a time for passion, and to tell you when YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
[...]
Maybe transgender folks know this topic better than you, and you can learn from us. If you're being called an asshole, that doesn't mean you're not being one.

I get it, it's not fun to "get shit" for something. But in life, sometimes you're the asshole. Whether you remain the asshole is on you and how much self-growth you're willing to allow at the expense of your ego.

---

D: @zoey @kd I'm listening to you, my friend, and going out of my way to. But listening to you doesn't mean I have to accept your word as truth - I can open myself up to change and listen to you to bring about that change, but ultimately it's me that decides my worldview and you that decides yours. Thanks to people in this very thread engaging me as equals I've already developed a much more nuanced view, so much so that I no longer agree that my post from an hour ago represents my updated views. But did I develop that nuance and align myself closer to my trans allies thanks to the person who told me to "go fuck myself?" Absolutely not. I learned nothing from that person except for a reinforcement of any generalized biases I had about many trans people being unfriendly and irrational when confronted with mildly dissonant worldviews.

---

T: @sir @MegXgeM This is what you're supporting with your ignorance and apathy, you shit-eating worms-for-brain motherfuckers. Know that with every trans child that dies, some of that blood is on your hands!

---

D: @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM there is no blood from the death of any trans children on my hands because I called for a nuanced discussion. If anyone is to blame for the blood of dead children it's you, for resorting to rage instead of discussion and radicalizing your opponents against you. Get some perspective.

D: @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM if I wasn't firm in my convictions, your aggression could have easily radicalized me against transgender rights. EASILY. It has happened thousands of times. You are the architect of your own destruction.

---

T: @sir @kd I feel so honored you'd go out of your way to listen to me.

Why did we need to handle you with such kid gloves? If you really understand any nuance, go back to your earlier posts and reconsider what you've been saying, and the pure dismissal of lives. It's kind of shitty, right? I do not see you as treating us as equals in this regard.

---

D: @zoey @kd come on... you're not being destroyed or denied your existence in this thread. I'm not saying it's not happening elsewhere - but it's not happening here. If you want allies to join you in the fight where it matters, where you ARE being destroyed, then you need to treat them with respect. People can be different and still help each other. You're projecting onto me the frustrations you have with the world at large, and in so doing are just making more people to be frustrated with.

D: @zoey @kd if you're trying to make me acknowledge that I've _done_ something wrong here, then I won't, because I haven't. I have expressed some incorrect opinions - largely benign ones - out of ignorance, and they've been corrected. But expressing wrong opinions in good faith, accepting feedback, and updating your worldview accordingly is anything but bad behavior - it's exactly what you be asking for in the first place.

---

T: @sir @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM when you inadvertently endanger the lives of trans folk they tend to get a little bit upset.

however "radicalizing your opponents against you" reveals you are doing this on purpose, you're not doing the whole mask on thing very well

T: @anna @sir @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM why are foss people like this I don't get it

---

D: @wolfcoder @anna @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM the strawman you constructed might be like this, but I'm not

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM if you're not like this, then i don't know, maybe don't be like this?

T: @sir @anna @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM so its just you, then?

---

D: @wolfcoder @anna @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM lol, why do trans people have to be like this [EDITOR'S NOTE: lol]

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM

yuo: wah wah im not like that im ok with the transgendered or whatever

also yuo: [image with caption "this guy saying 'lol, why do trans people have to be like this'"]

---

D: @anna @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM you: failing to recognize the irony lest it lead to self reflection

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM yeah that's funny though because FOSS people arent a marginalized group

your welcome for the explanation please donate to the witches dot live pateron for my time

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM sorry you are too dumb and too cis to get a simple concept, please still donate to the pateron though, you break it you buy it

---

D: @anna @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM has this thread just turned into shameless begging or is this sarcasm

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM did i stutter?

---

D: @anna @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM no, I am not giving money to your patreon.

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM liar and a thief. typical cisser. why ARE all cissers like this?

---

D: @anna @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM I mean, you've spent my time, too, and I bet my hourly rate is higher than yours. Where do I send the invoice?

---

T: @sir @wolfcoder @DissidentKitty @MegXgeM send the invoice via a monthly payment to the witches pateron, listening to you whine is a service, you having to hear that you're being a total privileged techbro shithead, you know the kind who would get owned on-line then be like "i bet i make more than you lmao" to a trans woman is not something you charge for, you get charged for it. so yes. pateron nao plz.

T: why am i supposed to feel bad for asking for compensation for my time again? oh right because im a woman [EDITOR'S NOTE: x to doubt]
