Burning Bush

God appeared to Moses in a burning bush, that was a fire that could not be put out. With this verbal idea in mind what I wanted to share, going forward was this:


For the lust of some ideas I have, and object oriented programming examplified. How much I have to plow from my path to do what I want in life, is maybe just another day same shit, more neatly, happier and organized pile? MOVE!

To hammer one more nail in the coffin

For good measure...

Ever playing video games, and you're like "WHY WON'T HE DDIIIIEEEEEEEEE", and that is me, the superboss. You were born fucked.

On the part of being born fucked, I could lol at myself and say that about myself but the reality is I was born ANGRY. My soul was ANGRY before me. I've lived in torment and prejudice and struggle and poverty, fuelling my ANGER. As well whatever happened in The Woodcutter's previous life made him carry this way, this far, this MAD. So why does he fell them? What would make him tasked to cripple those dark souls and why seem to have vengeance? The pursuit of pursuit, it is. They simply lie by the way, after me. I believe this can be also called, trail blazing. RIP IT UP!

Yes, sounds crazy, and I'm crazy. After the last 4 years I've had, the true psychopath in me is awakening and some, who knows when, time ago I plowed the last stop sign and I will just increase. With less to stop me. Be amazed however, at the degree of certainty you might witness for most people are shallow and see only face value, they see nor seek true power, or truth and even do not know what they do .. when they DOUBT. Poor choice, suit yourself. You weren't invited.

So another thing that I'm saying good bye to is the ENTIRETY OF HUMAN FRIENDSHIPS I've made (internet friends get a pass on this), and no longer take up those old friendships as friendships any more. I've said good bye to the best one, and the last one now and what is it I am after, you might ask? Do you act in DOUBT? Suppose you'd think, "Oh he's running from something", or "guilty conscience", however what every LAST MOTHER FUCKER I HAVE EVER MET HAS MISTAKEN is that this is not how I think. I do not think like they, them or you think, I do not think mischieviously or competitively or by ranking. In fact however, I do think counter to mischief, offended by ranking and uninterested in competition. I am after production, creation, enlightenment and good times not assinine shit from the mouth of a goat or methods of one man greater than an another who is thus ridiculed. ALL BIGOTS MUST DIE.

What happened is over the last handful of years, all the people that I used to trust (considering trust is very rare, and to behold if you have it), and even many acquaintances and folks upon my walks that I speak to on occasion, over those handful of years started to decay in respect towards me. It is blatantly obvious, it is point blank in my view, when somebody has been told words by another reject fumble hands, some SHIT that they reveal to me OBVIOUS in their expressions they no longer respect me. So, and I've been seeing this, and watching literally A: without my being privvy, and, B: without my input all the people around me that I've grown to know in my city, turn to hate. Not ALL, but an amount of them. Prepared to single handedly ... Fight a fucking army? Would this be psychotic rage type pondering? So what if it was? I can't say that makes it any less possible, and that I WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING. A Christian man ought to forgive, and I shall. For some once forgotten, others I have forgotten.

Long live and prosper Mr. Beach

So, if you seen a recent post of mine, with a beer and Mr. Beach, my survivor Draconia, two weeks approximately ago I left him to a very quiet and rather sunny spot, where he can get watered, enjoy no animosity around about him and sun sun sun! Since approximately 2.5 years ago I was given the plant from a roommate that had virtually no way to give it light living in the garage, Mr. Beach has gone through HELL with myself also. Sadness lives in some of the memories we have together, and it's fucked because I couldn't keep a cat, for 18 whole years or more, let alone a mature houseplant. Shame on no one here, except maybe the premier of my Canadian province of Alberta who is doing the vulnerable folks in our area NO JUSTICE. Stupid evil bitch, I'd love to throw her ass onto hastings avenue with no shoes.

It was an anxious good bye to my most favorite plant of all time. I however DO still have the means to go check up on him, and I shall do that within a week or so. Another good bye that will be occuring soon is this bash blog on the8woodcutter.sh plus the domain TLD itself also. I AM HEREBY ANNOUCING THE DECOMMISSION, AS I THE WOODCUTTER HIMSELF, OF MY OWN BASH BLOG, AND .sh TOP LEVEL DOMAIN. All of the previous posts and tags and content will be preserved privately but also maybe at other times on a URI on some other domain, or another subdomain, for show and tell basically.

I intend to shovel some life things aside to get pyblog written and achieved finally. That will be the new structure in which I will have my new blog, still a the8woodcutter + some top level domain, I will not give any hints to my ideas, for obvious opsec reason. So go ahead an fucking park my domain, DOES YOU NOTHING, cuz it won't be mine anymore, just like .co was a few years ago, deceased.

XMPP is pissing me off, and fuck that network, it's gotten sour and reeks of children of discord. When was I supposed to be suprised that XMPP network get overrun by young discord dumbfucks? I literally never was. There are many good places, but I'm an asshole, and so are a number of others. The thing about that is asshole begat asshole, so don't be an asshole, and enjoy the rest of your week.

I appreciate all the silent followers, and the folks that subscribed to the RSS. I hope that during those times where I was living in an eccentric state of mind, and my writing style may have seemed a little weird, when life gives you lemons you get some gin and have a drink. God bless you all, even any evil bastard ones too cuz hell is not a nice place. I've BEEN THERE.

We Return Again

This time around I have some things I wish to change. Expect turbulence, maybe some geese and some clouds. I start again small.

Another day another not much, what about you?

Could you imagine if as this post's title suggests, you were asked a question and could be given a text box to write it in HOWEVER I'd be pinged for that over XMPP protocol, and I come by and be like, "Interesting. So it's true, salt does have a major factor in baking cookies. Well today I learned ^^", and the unsuspecting reader who was curious and jolly enough get's a response from none other than The Woodcutter himself LIVE!

And here I wonder how many of you folks wondered how easy it would be to use some LLM (as people incorrectly call it "ai", no credit for any actual intelligence however) to make generally acceptable parlay in the form of dialogue. Under guise of, well, even impersonation of myself, or whatever supposed human interaction it ought to imply. I can't say I am a fan of this "ai" shite, as it had me get too upset to remain on my previous LinkedIn account, and sometimes on Reddit (which I do like this platform, it'd be my favorite "normie" social media) I end up ripping on some bot quite pointedly, it's just another misfortune rampant and unstoppable now on the very thing I've loved so much for my entire life: computers/internet.

I came here anyways to log some of my recent efforts on Debian. This past couple of days I've been diving somewhat deeper into hardening Debian and looking around, checking various of the usual Linux functions and factors. I recently about a week ago reinstalled COMPLETELY NEW Debian, which no lies happens often and wouldn't normally be such a big deal except that I had to move 100's of GB of my data, and I literally just plain nuked a couple of big partitions and disks, for a total lack of will to deal with piece by piece organizing it all. And I discovered something cool about cockpit when I was using Rocky 9.6 recently for a while, during the first half of the winter, is that it can automount and save your partition keys with dm-crypt. I was able to copy cp -rp /var/* /var/.* /mnt/ which was on /dev/mapper/ as decrypted, then use cockpit while the system was running to remount this /var/ under the new encrypted partition and also automatically decrypt and mount it at boot. So I immeditely rebooted after this HOWEVER in some series of happenings where I'm sure my eyes were not properly focused on the alphas and numerals that were upon my terminals, I accidentally deleted the entire /etc/fstab SHIIT!

SO, the purpose of this web log now is to tell you about 3 of my recent favorite Debian packages, in which the one that SAVED me here when I only WISHED I had genfstab -U / > /etc/fstab, from Arch Linux, is arch-install-scripts. Yep! You guessed it! On Debian, same package name as on Arch Linux, the arch-install-scripts that also includes arch-chroot on Arch Linux. I did not verify this was a thing for Debian, but if it is?!?! Give me a sec, I'll see...



HELL YES! !!! Do we know what this means? WE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS::> 😸 :: For a lazy ass like myself, at least :: 😹 <::Oh what fun there is to be had!



MMmmmmmmMMmmkkKKk ....
Hardcore cool. It works as I would've hoped, wow nice. Ezpz Debian chroot into filesystems. So damn cool!



That was a lot of fun. Sorry I ran off my topic, why this is such a stoke is because for a while that night after I erased my /etc/fstab and was delighted to find arch-install-scripts in Debian packages, I had to do some cool old stuff, and bring forward some of my long time Linux knowledge, as in order to do a number of various recoveries booted in lower runlevels I had to telinit 5, and various other lower level Linux stuff in my process of fixing this. So despite that I had done a major hurt to my brand new Debian that day, I managed to eventually recover the system, including apply 3 more encrypted partitions as filesystem mounts via cockpit-ws, and reminisce live about when I learned how this all worked. Felt good reminding myself I know some shit, not just a smoker and a joker hahaha!
It was a good time, absolutely.

.. pyblog WHEN ALREADY! Perhaps the python powers to be won't let me endure as much stoke as I predict, when I can worthy work through the scripted actions of this blog. All the more reason not to forget THE WOODCUTTER.

Good Day 🌞

The sun in the title might be cute and all, but I'm unimpressed with the weather so far this February. I, Canadian through and through, demand deep freeze february as it used to be! Then me and by bear can snuggle under a log. Aha. Well asides from that Ŧ̸̻ĥ̸̻Ǝ̸̻❽ Ѽ̸̻о̸̻ѻ̸̻Ԁ̻Ҟ̸̻մ̸̻է̸̻է̸̻Ǝ̸̻Ʀ̸̻ (The ❽ WoodCutter) have acquired my laptop again after some time. Today I managed to do a few cool things in the ambition of unfucking the networks. And by networks, as plural, I have been managing 4 Linux hosts like hell for the last two days. Two of them are my VPS-es and one a Debian VM and my Rocky Linux 9 host.

What happened an hour ago that I did is a great example of how Tor and proxies in general are really handy and it's my current working study right now to test out proxies and proxy configurations. My interest next for a type of proxy is apparently called a "transparent proxy", such as squid or better yet privoxy. Have a link, or three:

Squid (software) @ WikiPedia
Privoxy @ WikiPedia
Proxy Server#Transparent_proxy @ WikiPedia --:>

Also known as an ' intercepting proxy', 'inline proxy', or 'forced proxy', a transparent proxy intercepts normal application layer communication without requiring any special client configuration. Clients need not be aware of the existence of the proxy. A transparent proxy is normally located between the client and the Internet, with the proxy performing some of the functions of a gateway or router.[citation needed]

Another thing I've tried but didn't make it far with is ipsec VPN, a layer 2 VPN. I'm intrigued about how a layer 2 connection can VPN over the internet. Also, I don't know if I've ever mentioned on my blog here but I think what my most favorite single pinpointed motivation in Linux is happens to be networking, but more specifically the uses of network packets. Maybe this is actually new knowledge to me, the part of me saying that, but I'm quite sure that's always been what I want to create with. So with that comes network protocols, yay! Subnetting, interfaces virtually and as computer hardware or peripherals as well as many others no doubt. This is the ҏҽԅғҽҫէ substance, or can I say my rice! Bowl o Packets!

Yes, so I'm glad I've gotten my laptop working okay again. Those 3 weeks I didn't have it I forgot my very anal and very peculiar setup sequences, and that led me to a number of hours of problems, and it didn't help I was baked outta my fuckin tree D: .... The dangers of Marijuana D:

Please keep your children away from the chunk, he is a wild animal and you never know what he might do. Oh, a kitty!


Spare change?? 🫣

Halloween Week

Greetings comrades!
In my life, lifestyle, walk of life I have had NO choice but to actually happen to get along with a lot of difference folks, but literally NEVER with the straight edged, successful, or the folks that are very strict in their beliefs about what people should do. Things about me would include that I absolutely detest to see a rich man not share with a poor man, to me that is ugly as hell. Another thing is I like people who don't presume, or make assumptions, nor are born to cause strife and are competitive. I only appreciate fair folks, with open minds and have respect for everyone as if we all have a set minimum level of respect owed just by existing. So, and since I've been in the hardship of some of the poorer, having harder times folks, I absolutely sympathize with them and this past week I've met a few of them who did me really cool solid favors. I am going to say I love, I love those folks, and the rest of the folks, and I feel like I owe my hood now and I plan to respect it well, cuz it welcomed me kindly. God helped to resolve the darkness in my soul and my mind and there were good folks to find and enjoy. I am happy now, I'm also happy to be gone permanently from the past two years. I've now successfully ELIMINATED ALL of the toxic fucking losers in my life, they're ALL GONE BYE. That took me a few years, actually, to let them ride out and out. That's a success. Gives me somewhat of a clean slate.

I would be glad if my happiness makes somebody else feel happy, they deserve to feel happy if so. God bless you all and don't forget to approach things patiently and with an open mind. You can learn a lot by listening and not trying to know everything. Braggards are just loud, obnoxious and serve nothing to anyone but themselves. Good Riddance POP. Enjoy your happy November happy netfolks!!!

Cool Graphics

Hi there! It is I, The Woodcutter. Quite busy lately, actually.

Today I made a graphic! Well, or, I modified actually a debian wallpaper. I didn't do much to it, I don't think, but the overall composure is quite nice:



So the second one above there, is named /img/boss4.jpg and I've modified an original photo (of myself) a number of times. I don't know how many times I've modified that one to get to the one above, but, it'd actually be more than 4 or even 5. I added some more filters, and an interesting border. You can see this graphic in action on the8woodcutter.sh/xmpp/presence where I use it as a paragraph head photo. That's another cool thing I did, last night actually, was created that web page. What I wanted to do was make a table html object with columns of the XMPP MUC's and another of XMPP JID's (all of which are mine, nobody but myself is on my XMPP server). I wanted to display the actually raw output of a prosody community module named mod_http_presence (found here: https://github.com/the8woodcutter/mod_http_presence (I took the prosody community module code from their mercurial repository and 'forked' it, or whatever (not officially tho) as a git repository, instead of mercurial). This module is rather new, and an XMPP friend of mine actually made it. I don't think it took him very long either. His XMPP name is 0x0An and also he's changed his JID back to his old one, then vanished from XMPP. I wish him well, robomofo as I called him LoL...

Lastly, in relevance to graphic art, you're welcome to join the artwork MUC chatroom on toofast.vip, which I as of only a few days ago returned to XMPP. TooFast.vip wasn't online for a number of months, and no reason really. I was using Packets.cc XMPP server instead. I own a few domains ^^ however the link to the MUC is xmpp:artwork@chat.toofast.vip?join. I'd love others to post their artwork too. Lastly, there's many kinds of art too. There's photography, graphic art, paint, pencil, pen, marker, graffiti, text graffiti using odd unicode characters, there's ascii art, there's artistic expression also which are vast and innumerable. Artwork is works of art. Can you define art? 🕹️ 🎈 🤔 💡 🙌
