1kg rest mass of sunlight in a barrel is objectively horrifying lol. Napkin math says thats ~9e19J. For reference, Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated on earth, produced ~2.1e17J. You’ve got a barrel containing ~440 Tsar bomba detonations

“Like a dog watching tv” - supposedly comes from old west virginia moonshiners, but the person who told me that has a complicated relationship with the truth so allow me to share with you the grain of salt I take that attribution with. It indicates that somebody has absolutely no clue what is going on, but they are enjoying themselves

It depends on the time period, but i assume that bit is referring to the Anglo Prussian alliance. The British historically really liked giving weapons and money to anybody willing to point those weapons at the French, and Prussia was more than happy to do so

Grumpus is evil pug. Pugsatan, if you will. The post will be unexplained until/unless PJ sees it and decides to bless the ignorant masses with their knowledge/willingness to browse the bad alien site looking for the source

A pretty neat wargaming server that uses outdated server software to practice/display different exploits. Its been ages since I’ve touched it, but iirc the first few levels show off some shell exploits as well as like some strcpy exploits and a buffer overflow with a nop slide. If you know the basics of using a Unix terminal and have some familiarity with any c language, it’s pretty accessible. Even if you dont, it has been around long enough that you could probably find a solutions guide or tutorials somewhere online. Thats the quickest way I can think of to get somebody without much time some legal “hacking” experience
