At this point do I own more Axmans or Archers? I think it might be Axmans after the last few.

Unhinged Axman enjoyer reporting lol

Nice to see Battletech back at Hairy T! Wish I was still in town.

YESS fellow Nova Cat!

Yeah I think I need to get a BT demo day grinder organized. I've actually never played AS!

I wish I had a Battletech local. Maybe we'll get enough nerds around here soon.

Does New Jersey have a recall system for federal representatives? Gottheimer has thrown himself in with Team Epstein and wants to track your children.

This is a serious cybersecurity concern. Why do pedos want eyes on your kids?

Yay! Very cute.

Mind your contractions, cadet.

#Battletech Hatamoto-Chi for a small painting competition, and already starting the Pride 2026 pile because it's gonna be a BIG pile. Got a few Com Guards to finish up once it stops raining and I can prime again, too.

UwU

I usually loathe painting space marines but that is LIT.

From diving directly into the code: it looks good as long as the JVM implementation on your machine is correct. I'll do some more testing, just in case. :)

This is more than good enough for well distributed 2d6. Would I trust Java for cryptography in 2026? Eh, not without doing a bunch of things manually.

stackoverflow.com/a/69998816 this can verify SecureRandom is being used right.

docs.oracle.com/middleware/1... for extensive tests.

Assuming you are on Windows: CryptGenRandom() is your core cryptographic function used by SecureRandom. This is built on AES-CTR-DRBG and has passed quite a few audits. It is deprecated, BCryptGenRandom() is its replacement and it does not look like Oracle's standards have updated since 2017.

Alright. Audit time.

The nice thing about open source software is we can just dig into the random number generator and use formal methods.

java.security.SecureRandom is the default random.

Now I'm wondering if there's a vendor issue.

Same thing in the UK, except it's been going on longer in the UK. Epstein's gang, if you want to call it that, goes back to before the American Revolution. Y'all want some "deep state"? Some of it is in those files.

Always a good choice!

I also really like that color.

Yeah I'm definitely not going to defend lying about tracing, commercially tracing etc. Fuck that shit. Nobody take that from my other post please, that's not at all where I stand.

Yeah. You can't compare photo painting or recoloring or any other kind of tracing or copy work to AI. You still have to have SOME technique to trace, and photo painting is really an art of its own. Maybe not as sophisticated or fully creative as drawing from scratch, but recoloring a photo is art.

Wait a minute.

Thank you for pointing that out, the anime girl avatar made me let my guard down.

I'll let the lawyers handle the rest, especially about the AI generated legal documents! Bai bai.

Outside the mainstream media, a few normally very good independent journalists. Also, a few lawyers who are going to be in some fucking hot water, and if you want me to name them you're going to have to pay the potential damages in bond. Not going through another one of THOSE lol.

Huh. Committed in their presence or in the possession of a signed judicial warrant. Interesting.

Yeah there is a LOT of serious misinformation even by lawyers who I will not name until the relevant grievances are filed.

How about we support competent journalists and mandate civics classes in all 50 states so we can meet first world standards of education?

If you need me to set up a curriculum to explain that ICE does not have powers of arrest for drug offences, I'm happy to but it ain't free.

Wait, why is ICE acting extrajudicially? This is the DEA and FBI's jurisdiction and the FBI can easily get real warrants for real police work.

Shinji get in the contraption

I have to ask a few questions here. Like WHY what appears to be a Marauder is doing a header into those buildings? How it got there with no jumpets, either by design or from the lack of jumpjet indicators in the cockpit?

Also why your hands are on the controls and not the ejection lever? Bro eject

They got looted by private equity as part of a plan that was outlined in 2019. Nobody REALLY wants to hold a company in that much legal doo doo, we all knew they were getting cleaned out.

62% of the country views Trump's presidency as illegitimate and wants an investigation into election fraud.

Explain to me again how that means 53% voted for him?

I'll wait.

Kupo~
