Improve the contrast

Blender Dumbass c:1

@alkyilcycloalke you mean like the visibility of the text? Because the point is, those are the Blender Dumbass colors. The background is this washed out greyish bluesh thing. And the foreground it yellow. Why text looks quite good on this background. I can try black text. But I believe it will look crappy.

Blender Dumbass c:2

Okay, I changed the background. I hope it is better this way. I mean it look way better to me.

Blender Dumbass c:3

I will test this new feature

@alkyilcycloalke lol after all this time I ended up actually making a login system. Though I had to hack it into existence since I didn't plan for it at all. But it seems like it works.

I would like your site to have a mirror in Clearnet! I don't want to start Tor Browser and connect to Tor for the sake of one site xD

And thank you for your articles

Blender Dumbass c:7

This is the most working way I found to connect to my website from a normal browser without installing anything.

If you are using Brave it should just work normally. Though you may need to press a little Tor button in the address bar for it to understand that you want a Tor window. I don't know why .onion links do not load automatically in Tor Window.

Also for almost every browser there is a Torification plugin. One I know is Tor Button. My dad uses it on Chromium to connect to this site. On his other computer he uses only Tor Browser for all browsing.

I don't think I will be able to make a clear-net link to this website in the near future since I host it directly from my computer and I have a shitty network ( including the router ).

There might be a good Tor to Web proxy where I could get a good static link. If I find one, I will start sharing it too. So far I didn't find one.

Anonymous Guest c:9

Wow, you responded quickly. Thank you for the information. Actually about a month ago I created an issue in the repository of a popular Tor proxy (Tor2Web): https://github.com/tor2web/Tor2web/issues/387

Blender Dumbass c:10

I have not yet found a Tor2Web server that works unfortunately. If you find one. Tell me.

Revork login system so it does not leak password as plain text.

Blender Dumbass c:12

@Madiator2011 you have a point. But as of now I have no idea how to make a login password system like this without JS. Maybe you know. And yes, if I learn how, I will implement it myself here.

I'm testing an idea, please ignore this.
Trying to make the markdown parser recognize text written in a fountain format and render it as a screenplay.

EXT. SOME LOCATION - NIGHT

Two people come into the room. JOHN and MARK.

MARK

How are you doing, John?

John started paying attention Mark.

JOHN

You know, Mark, so much stuff is on my head right now. I don't even know where to start.

This should be already after the script part.

INT. JOHN'S HOUSE - DAY

John is talking on a phone to Mark.

JOHN

Forget about what I told you last time. It is not important.

MARK

What are you talking about?

Again, should be normal text. And the rest of markdown should still work.

Attempting a way to suddenly change into script mode

Should be script-like

JOSH

Hello world.

JOSH
This is not script-like

JOSH

Script like again.

GPL doesn't make the program libre

I don't consider freedom binary, for me some things are inherently more free than others. Here I define freedom as the capacity to do a task unhindered. With such definition, it comes to be clear, what I mean by freedom not being binary and existing on an axis. For instance, repairing a standard PC is easier than the newest model of iPhone. This ease of repairability exists on a gradient, with the PC and iPhone being on different sides. The same applies to the actual binary, software world as well. It is easier to modify a program written in Python than the same one written in C. In Python there is no need to keep recompiling and seeing the changes, all alterations can be done on the fly.

What is the meaning of "The Lovely Bones" 2009 by Peter Jackson?

In my review of Transformers 4 I touched upon the uncanny resemblance of it to Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. I have not seen the movie when I did that. I knew it existed. I knew what it was about. I've only seen it now, for the first time. And the uncanny resemblance ( as in, the father is played once again by Mark Wahlberg and the villain is played once again by Stanley Tucci and we have Steven Spielberg's involvement ) is rather strange. It begs a rather profound question, what was the point to make the movie?
