Tank thread reup. So.

Today I had to bury the 6th dead bird this year. Not even this year, this summer! I would say I never ever buried this much but frankly before this I had to do this only twice in my whole life. I dunno what's going on with them.
It would be easier to just dump them into the dumpster but frankly I rather spend some energy and give them an ok final rest.
During digging I came across a very interesting archaeological findings: this tank on picrels. It wasn't mine and not any of my pals owned such or even played around that spot in our childhood so I suppose one of my family members owned this there are some possibilities.
What Bernd think what type of tank is this? I think it has the Sherman looks.

Also this can be a general vehicle/weapons thread as well.

Well I asked grok, and it gathered some data from 20 webpages, like half of those were Wikipedia.
Here's the summary of it's summary. Naval/military vessels.
Notable types and groups: aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and corvettes counts these as one category, it isn't wrong, submarines, littoral combat ships, patrol vessels, amphibious ships.
Largest global producers: China (50%), South Korea(28%), Japan(13%) - it sums this at 85%, not 91, so I assume the variation comes from the sources and yearly fluctuation. This is insanely disproportionate. Probably these numbers include commercial ships too - just by the glance I took at the sources.
Other notable producers: US, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, India (1%), Philippines, Vietnam, Turkey.
Aircraft carrier manufacturing in: China, US, India, France, UK. I'm not sure the latter two still produces them, or they built some and have potential capability to continue if need arises.

Here's a handful of links:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/largest-navies-in-the-world - according to this India already has 2 CVs.

Not all ships are the same so that does not help much. China has more ships than the US but most of those are small coastal ships.

The other competitor for this contract was German but their ship needed more crew and had a shorter life span so even though it was smaller than the Japanese one it would cost about the same over it's life time. Japanese ship is also configured to work with US navy ships so that helps us too. Plus there were probably diplomatic reasons, it makes more sense for us to work with Japan than Germany seeing as Germany has no presence or interest in this area anyway.

The UK recently build two, HMS Elizabeth(named after Elizabeth I not II) and HMS Prince of Wales. It's struggling to maintain it's navy though, but with the new funding they will get they may be able to finally maintain it properly, also personnel retention is an issue(that's the case in most western nations, hence why Australia wanted the ship with less crew).

Newest Edition, with less Ghork.


First thing first:
That dude of the Primitive Technology channel and all his copycats have a great advantage: access to unlimited supply of bamboo. Unlimited to their objectives. That stuff is great, tuff as shit, light as feather, can be used to many purpose with little modification and not too much work.

I also read most of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Responsibility_and_accountability
I think technology and it's use are running forward and lawmakers lag behind. Those who spent any time in the past two decades on the internet have a giant heap of data about them. I think Bernd posted a video about a security eggsbert, I think he works kind of a private investigator many time cooperating with officials and he said in that video anonymizing data worth nothing it can be de-anonymized with ease, and both companies and govt agencies do.
Now this law was passed at 2016. This year the EU countries have to start implementing it. Who knows how long it takes until it finishes. The whole stuff is kinda vague (it can be modified when necessary tho), and I don't know for example how the EU can force a foreign company to do whatever? There are sanctions but what jurisdiction the EU has over a US based firm for example Facebook and how the EU will force the sanctions onto for example said company?

This sounds cool: The DECRYPT Project
Includes history and AI/ML tools.
https://de-crypt.org/
About:
Thousands of enciphered historical manuscripts are buried in libraries and archives. Examples of such material are diplomatic correspondence and intelligence reports, private letters and diaries as well as manuscripts related to secret societies. The bulk of these historical manuscripts will remain undeciphered unless we can automate the processes involved in decoding them. Our aim is to develop resources and computer-aided tools for decoding of historical source material by using AI and cross-disciplinary research...
Tools:
collection of digitized images of ciphertexts and encryption keys along with metadata information about their provenance, location, transcription, and possible cryptanalysis or commentary.
all records in thedatabase are open to the public
tools for transcription and decipherment of historical ciphers
Historical cipher images can be transcribed, i.e. transformed into a computer readable text format
transcribed ciphertext can be corrected
Decode Database, HistCorp, TranscripTool, CrypTool whatnot.
open source under the Apache license v.2.0  with the exception od Decode db.
Quite a few Hungarians in the project apparently. They started publications in 2019 so fairly new thing this is, probably the emergence of these machine learning models allowed them to form this team.

Looking at the Decode db, the earliest dated document is from the 15th century. There is one that says 1300-1699. I think accessing documents needs a registration, at least when I tried to enlarge the photo of the document it said I have insufficient permissions.

Ofc that authoritarian police surveillance state we call the United Kingdom arrived to a point where they can put into practice the Online Safety Act of 2023.
While George Orwell turning in his grave they try to realize everything he wrote in 1984 by denying access to porn everything they deem dangerous to children, opting with the "think of the children" excuse, instead of terrorism concerns this time.
Instead of making the parents' responsibility to know what their dear children watching and doing on the internet, they make everyone on the globe responsible for them. So as I put something on the internet, am I the father of ~14 million Bri'ish minors **data from here: https://data.unicef.org/how-many/how-many-children-under-18-are-there-in-the-uk/**?
Websites, platform all over the world started to demand age verification, and not that bs "click here if you are 18 to enter" bs, but actual shit like submitting ID or face recognition and whatnot. Others probably went with the cheaper "ban all UK IPs" solution.
Why? Because the UK government said they'll take measures against those who don't do such things. Such as issuing fines, but they also can just block those websites at the UK based ISPs. Exactly how Russia censors the internet. Yes the UK reached the level of Russian freedom. Short heda Island Slavs.

Now many in the UK who aren't just using Facebook and Instagram, but sites like Pornhub Wikipedia and Onlyfans many others started to use VPNs. Probably asked ShatGPT first what to do about this situation. Or Grok if the previous one censored the answer for the suspicion of terrorist activity.
The UK govt response is: "oh no people most of whom aren't U18 BTW because the vast majority of zoomers beyond poking the smartphone icons can't fathom tech concepts like networking avoiding our surveillance parent control solution we should ban VPNs".

Luckily the Bri'ish people also like freedom unlike their Stalinist overlords Churchill is turning in his grave, they started to raise their voices that this Act might not be a good idea, please dear govt. think through it again.
Good Luck Bri'ish people!

Russian mobile devices will come with MAX installed, a surveillance app that mascarades itself as a messaging app. The model is the Chinese WeChat app don't mistake it with weechat IRC client for CLI. Vietnam and Iran has similar stuff too.
I can't wait until the UK adopts the idea.
And then us.

But I mean... all the apps spying on you, it's like nationalizing the datamining, its not just the privilege of tech companies of the Silicon Valley.

no shit Sherlock

I am looking for practical ways to not get my kids ruined by the school system.
Ideally in or between Sauerland and Pfalz.
More precisely I want to get in contact with people who have similar ideas or are doing it allready. Moving to other parts of Germany is possible if necessary.
All I found on the web so far, are people to far away from me or overprized skype calls.

I have assumed that "krautchan" is the same as the original.
But it appears that I am wrong and this thread is missplaced.

But as I am here allready, I might aswell elaborate on why school sucks.

> every kid is individual
in school everyone gets the same curiculum
> learning works best if the kid is motivated
motivation comes from the kid, its not given to him like schools pretend
> oversocialization
there are WAY to many kids in school


Interesting, there are a few doubts, however. Assuming the parents have the means, knowhow and will to properly educate their kids at home:
> how best to avoid sheltering them too much from the outside world, so they can be streetwise etc.?

> I know a girl who was homeschooled and grateful for her family values (she is very close to her family) but she claimed to have missed the social aspect of school and didn't have as many opportunities for friendships and perhaps social maturing, how could the parents best address this?

> how soon can the parents introduce the kids to the notions and dangers behind social media, normalized promiscuity, porn and the Internet?


Also,
> comfy_home_2.jpg

That looks extremely comfy and I have played with the notion of many people having lived like this throughout history and even prehistory. But would that closed environment with the fireplace not be dangerous in terms of CO2 and CO poisoning?

 >>/54574/
In the Nihon Shoki it mentions Emishi living in the ground.
The version of the Nihon Shoki I have is an English translation  from the early 20th century and the translator makes many interesting foot notes based on his knowledge of the area where he says Ainu still do live in the ground.

Quite a few people find the idea of such buildings as comfy homes. The depicted one seems typically Slavic.
There are many places all around the world where people lived in similar dugouts. Even here the archaeologists found lots of remains of buildings which were half sunk into the ground (compared to the pic in OP, like it had half the depth of that) from the Árpád-era (the first dynasty of Hungarian kings) and they theorize that they were homes, others think they were tied to some kind of work. I'm not sure if all but many had a lower level in one corner, like in the depth of a human calf. They don't really know why, some guesses they sit there...
Slavs also had similar buildings with a fireplace in one corner.

Anyway there are many problems with these. The big plus is insulation, the big minus is waterproofing. It's easy to get a pool in spring in a place like OP. For harsh winter, like in Siberia, it's perfectly fine, for it snows a lot, everything is "dry" due to the -30 and lower.
Smoke issue can be solved with a chimney. But in OP that looks more like an oven for baking bread - those need a closed space that retains heat and not a windpipe like a normal fireplace.

There is a lot to write about these. Even today people plan dugout houses and homes.

They are coming back tomorrow at 11am UTC they are undocking from the ISS. I still haven't watched any videos of their, despite on youtube there's hours long stuff. Perhaps that's why.
I heard with one ear Orbán had a chat with Tibi not long after they arrived to the space station.


Watching, listening this:
Ax-4 Mission | Return
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=PEgeSEsNbKI
https://youtube.com/watch?v=PEgeSEsNbKI
It's so fucking boring. A chick and a dude chitchatting and nothing happening.
There's some data displayed of the return vehicle (called Dragon or whatever), speed, height, time, current place over the globe.
Sometimes they cut to the cockpit where nothing happens, it's an automated return..
> the astronauts have no control but have situational awareness
Great.
Sometimes they cut to the control room at wherever, where people staring at monitors.
Literally they could do everything all this but not the actual spacefilght, that is entirely unnecessary.
As I mentioned they "splashdown" near California, close to Hollywood where they shoot the space footage. Nah i do believe they were in space.

Maybe. But I don't want to go to Arabia. I might go to ancient sites in the middle east and Egypt but that would be to see the ruins. There won't be such ruins in Australia.

The Victorians are more like what you would think of as being stereotypically Aistralian. 

Also the staff at shops dress poorly. Many people in bakeries and cafes will be wearing random casual cloths or a ragged uniform shirt but jeans or short shorts as well. It's not a good look.

There's loads of software and open source projects online. I'm sure you can find an alternative option somewhere. 

> Good job, Bernd.
I liked it a lot tbh. Some of the software in the conference was raly bad though. And it was attached to a really wealthy company that made it. Liek, how do you make a huge profit selling bad code?

Which site? Using Tor could alleviate the problem perhaps.
According to some https is:
- burden, both programmatically, and philosophically/politically (centralization, creating regulations, and authorities)
- gives false sense of security, serious actors can break it.

I saw some Mexican asking for gulyás recipe on Kohl and because I don't really want to start posting there beside the World Cup I decided to reupload the gulyás cooking as the other thread is "File not found" as well. So here's with original text.

Cooking with Bernd: gulyás

I was planning to post a good gulyás cooking since day one but somehow the occasion eluded me until now. I know a Hungarobernd did this on KC main but it was regular "cooking in the kitchen" type of thread and not "over open fire in bogrács" (traditional Hungarian pot).
I couldn't do this live for technical reasons but it will be fine this way too.

Pic #1
Ingredients: meat (little bit over half a kilo, it's pork, not beef), taters (by volume I used about the double of the meat dunno their weight), onions, tomato, paprikas, black pepper in the mill, dried ground paprika in the jar with the red lid, salt in the middle, and the white wax paper on the right covers the salo (fatback).
You can also see my Mora for cutting needs and a bearly visible peace from a wooden spoon behind the meat and the potato, the masterpiece of my carving art, used for stir the food in the bogrács.
The taters are leftovers from winter, wizened but fine for our purpose. Some of the onions and the paprikas are also leftovers I utilized.

Pic #2
The initial setup. Two quarter logs at the sides and a nest in the middle for the fire itself also aligned toward the usual main direction of the wind. The rocks are there for a little draft control. Tripod to hang the bogrács.

Pic #3
Lighted a handful of dry grass, placed in the middle of the nest, then a large handful of dry twigs above, and sticks across the log above all. As these sticks burn in the middle they broke after a while and fall into the nest. The heat from the nest lights up the inside faces of the logs. The heat is very concentrated toward the nest. The cooking is going above the nest, and it really doesn't need much flames. The smoldering logs pumping up lotsa heat, only some sticks are needed to be placed inside the nest time to times. Also when a log burns through, a new can be placed there. I had several prepared.

Pic #4
First I chopped the salo, and dumped into the bogrács. I left it hang quite high because there still were much flames, and I didn't want it to burn fast. Burnt salo isn't a big problem tho if there are just a few chunks of it, even maybe adds to the flavor. Also for the flavor I sliced some skin of the salo into there.

> mushrooms growing from a dead tree.
Some good, most bad or inedible so as usual, if you don't know 'em, stay away.
> white and brown-ish
Could be similar to agaricus campestris or a macrolepiota. But just from that description I can't guess.
> do some research online and pick them up if they look good.
By touching a mushroom you don't get poisoned. You can pick one take it home and do a thorough research on it. You can discard it after.
Dig it out carefully and take the whole thing, don't cut it down. Because the shape of the stem can help, and for example the existence of volva (see here:  >>/40533/) can help you exclude many species.
You can gather it into a plastic bag, but one that's made of some kind of cloth, cotton/linen/canvas, would be the best.


 >>/54250/
There could be species that edible dried. Those I know and pick I'm fairy sure they don't, they have to be re-hydrated, and cooked. Tho they grind dried mushroom and use it as seasoning, I know with boletes they do. So if chewed properly perhaps it's okay.
Thing is mushroom has a lot of cellulose. And people have a hard time digesting that. If you get tummy ache stop, otherwise it's fine I guess.

I can eat mushrooms w/ no issues so I think I'll be fine.
