#Loopback

[churchofoverlord]

HI FRIENDS, HAVE A DRABBLE SPUN OFF SOME TFONE IDEAS I WAS DISCUSSING WITH A FRIEND

Mild . . . spoilers? Kinda? Not really? Maybe? Anyway, whenever I write I tend to use a song I like for inspiration/vibes. Linked at the bottom. 😘

The Details for Tomorrow

Loopback worried her lip as she checked the address coded into the chip she’d received. It couldn’t have been true. It was too good to be true. To be recognized for your talents outside of your job and elevated to a higher status . . . no. Not her. It couldn’t be. Her vermillion plating rustled anxiously.

And yet the shimmering seal of the Primes adorned the bottom of the message. She poked at the hologram again, just to make sure it wasn’t a distortion, a glitch in the display software. The golden symbol fizzed back into its proper shape immediately after she withdrew her digit.

Swallowing as she walked, she almost missed the shadowed figure that swept her into an alleyway seven blocks from the place she’d been asked to meet. The bot pressing her against the wall was smaller, but their forlorn optics held her frozen with their urgency and concern. Loopback opened her mouth to ask what was going on, but the other put a digit to her lips to silence her, then looked up and down the alley in a panic.

Finally the other bot removed their servo from the shuttle’s face, practically shaking as they whispered, “I’m not hurt, and I don’t need help. I just need you to listen. Sentinel Prime is going to invite you to dinner. Do not go with him. Trust me. You think it’s wonderful, the most lavish, pampered life you could ever live. But it’s all a lie. H-he’ll ruin you. Just like he ruined me.” They shrank back, pulling their shroud tighter around their shoulders as they realized they had raised their voice too loud.

Loopback squinted in confusion. “What are you talking about?”

“Shh! Shhhh!” the other bot urged. “She’ll *hear* you! She hears everything . . .” they shuddered.

“I don’t understand,” the shuttle frowned. “He’s offering me a job as his personal detailer.”

“It won’t be enough for him,” they replied, swallowing thickly. “Nothing will ever be enough for him. He sees you as his next shiny toy. A pretty plaything. Once he’s done with you, he’ll make you disappear.”

Finally it clicked into place and Loopback’s expression turned to one of disgust as she backed away and toward the exit of the alley. “You’re Pyreclamp. You should be ashamed of yourself! How dare you touch me! How dare you insult our Prime! After what you did to him?”

“Please! No! It’s not like that!” Pyreclamp begged, reaching for the shuttle in desperation. But it was too late. Loopback had left, the smell of singed dust left behind in the wake of her afterburners.

The smaller bot winced and shrank back. They had failed. Again. This time they didn’t even flinch when Airachnid dropped in front of them.

“I’d give you another warning, but I think at this point you’re only embarrassing yourself,” the bodyguard sneered. “How many times will it take before you realize none of them are ever going to listen?”

Pyreclamp curled up on the ground and pressed their cheek to the cold, slimy wall beside them. “Why don’t you just dump me on the surface already?” they asked bitterly.

Airachnid huffed. “Because Sentinel finds the footage of your antics entertaining.”

Alone once more, the bot shivered, trying to ignore the thought of the hopeful orange shuttle that had no idea the pain that was coming for her.

—————

Loopback slid into the private booth, nervously fiddling with the lucky detail brush in her subspace. And, to her dismay, she jumped when the curtain was swept back and Sentinel Prime himself jauntily slid in beside her.

“Just the gal I wanted to see!” He said cheerily, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “I cannot believe we had such a skilled beautician hiding among the ranks of our transport fleet. I was just completely blown away with the work you did on your colleagues at the depot. I’ve never seen such a well-groomed crew of shuttles!”

“Th-thank you, sir. Sentinel Prime, sir.” Her cheeks burned dark and hot at the praise.

“So tell me, Loopback, is aesthetics just something you do as a hobby? Or is it more of a passion?” His voice dipped lower as his servo slipped from her shoulder to the leading edge of her wing. His smile was soft as he leaned into her audial. “Because based on your answer, I may have a special proposition for you, my dear.”

—————

The brand bit sharply as it seared her wing. Loopback grunted and gritted her teeth bitterly as her plating hissed. But she didn’t scream. She vented evenly, letting the physical pain balance out her mental agony. Her helm shook slightly as she raised it to look to her new leader. The one who had destroyed the mech who had first destroyed her. Destroyed them all.

“Never again,” she swore to Megatron. “Never again will I be Deceived.

Multitone ~ Loopback Analyzer For Audio

Multitone Analyzer is an app designed to explore audio electronics performance by producing quick measurements using a simple loop-back configuration. MA produces a specific set of test tones that are sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that are then passed through one or more analog components and then received by MA and analyzed. MA both, plays the signals and records them for analysis.…

maybe watching that one 90s magical girl anime I used to watch in middle school will bring me joy! says Ace! the one I used to be embarrassed about liking because it was a Girly Thing! says Ace! directly before finding out that somehow in the span of seven (??) years a massive chunk of it has become LOST MEDIA HELLO

I cradled tiktok in my arms as it died. I watched my likes disappear, my comments, my reposts, my friends. The rest of the world just disintegrated under my finger tips and the only thing I can do is mourn. There's not even a wake, or a funeral to attend. There's only disconnection 💔💔

Enhancing Network Reliability: The Key Components of a Robust Infrastructure

When it comes to setting up a reliable and efficient network infrastructure, components like MPOMTP adapters, cassettes, patch cords, loopbacks, and patch panels play a crucial role. These components are essential for ensuring seamless data transmission, network connectivity, and troubleshooting capabilities in various networking environments.

MPOMTP adapters, also known as MPO/MTP adapters, are widely used for high-density fiber optic connectivity. They enable quick and easy connections between multiple fibers, making them ideal for applications that require high bandwidth and scalability. Cassettes, on the other hand, provide a centralized and organized way to manage fiber optic connections within a network, enhancing overall efficiency and maintenance.

Patch cords serve as the physical link between network devices, allowing data to travel from one point to another. They come in various lengths and types to accommodate different connectivity needs. Loopback cables are used for testing the transmission capability and signal quality of network equipment by creating a loop within the system.

Patch panels act as the central hub for connecting network devices to the rest of the network, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter. They provide a convenient way to monitor, troubleshoot, and reconfigure network connections easily.

In conclusion, understanding the functions and importance of components such as MPOMTP adapters, cassettes, patch cords, loopbacks, and patch panels is essential for designing and maintaining a robust network infrastructure. By incorporating these components effectively, businesses can ensure reliable connectivity, high performance, and streamlined network operations.

You know when someone asks why Miko is my favorite tf character and not someone like Optimus or Starscream. I could give a bs smart answer like I relate to her, she has great themes that can be explored, I randomly had hyperfixated on her, or Miko is one of the best human characters in this fandom. Which don't get me wrong it is true; that's a part of the reason she's my favorite, but it's not the main. If I'm being completely honest with myself she's my favorite because........

Miko is fucking crazy man. Like absolutely mental.

Let's go down the list here:

First day with the autobots she saw Bulkhead rip out a vehicons guts right in front of her and thought it was cool.

Convinced Bulkhead to try indirectly murder Breakdown.

Went for an axe and tried to fight Soundwave's tentacle.

Killed hardshell. (This is a given)

When she learned about the autobots leaving to cybertron she immediately made plans to move there. Which isn't really crazy but I think it's really sweet and I wanted to bring it up.

Regularly sneaks along missions she knew are extremely dangerous and have proven to be dangerous in the past.

Threatened overlord of the decepticons Megatron to his face.

Killed four vehicons. (Which btw I did not know about for the longest time wtf?? I get their canon fodder but still.)

Helped send Soundwave to the shadow zone. Which to her and the other kids knowledge at the time were he would slowly starve to death.

Just the general love of extreme violence.

If Starscream and the other vehicons hadn't fled she would have 100% tried to kill them in the apex armor.

In the comics Miko asked if they could "do it again" after she freed Raf from mind control and he had sent decepticons out of the base through a loopback from the ground bridge.

Everyone in the fandom collectively agreeing Miko getting a gun would single handedly cause the destruction of the entire state of Nevada.

There's some other things but I don't remember what. (>:[)

And before people start saying "Oh she has a canon reason for this and she's really not aware of the consequences"-

Shut up.

She's a little murder chaos goblin to me and I WON'T HAVE ANY OF YOU TAKE THAT FROM ME!!!!! /Joke obviously.

Client-side domain blocking on Macs

If you're on a Mac and you want to waste less time on the internet, the old way to keep yourself from accessing an addictive website was by writing a loopback entry to /etc/hosts, but on Macs this seems to fail for (some, not all) IPv6 sites, possibly if they use HSTS.

Anyway, here are the updated instructions:

#Only need to run once

sudo mkdir -p /private/etc/resolver

# Block example.com

echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | sudo tee /private/etc/resolver/example.com

First of all, a little spiel (if you dont care about the spiel you can just scroll to the cut, dont forget to read the content warning!):

Remember that one poll? Sorry, had to break my promise. The feefee talk is crabbing MASSIVE which means my adhd is in full force while im working on it. Which means it might take a while longer. However, i cant just do nothing the whole time, so decided to write the siffrin fight instead, since its much shorter. I hope you understand.

Spiel over!

(full game in stars and time spoilers, also cw suicide)

Why couldn't it be me?...

TTOS version of the act 6 battle from ISAT

<BATTLE START!>

Siffrin: One thing, before we begin.

(Siffrin swiftly runs around you.)

(Your pockets feel lighter.)

Siffrin: I'm taking this back, thank you!

(Siffrin shows you their dagger.)

Siffrin: It's not good to take what isn't yours, after all!~ Siffrin: Now we can properly begin.

<Exchanging blows, until....>

Siffrin: AH!--

<Loopback.>

(Siffrin looped back.)

Siffrin: .... Siffrin: Haha! Siffrin: Here is a thing to remember: Siffrin: [If I die, I can loop back!] Siffrin: Not sure about you, though! You've really burned yourself out in the House! Siffrin: So try Not Dying! Otherwise....Hahahahaha! You will not be back.

(....)

(Keep fighting, keep fighting.)

<Exchanging blows, until another death.>

Siffrin: Lights! Camera! Action! Hahaha! Siffrin: ... Siffrin: You know, in a way, I'm very proud of you! Siffrin: You got what you wished for, starlight! You now have a family, you've learned to not be afraid to show your face, you saved Vaugarde! Siffrin: And all that was needed was for me to be left with nothing! Siffrin: The perfect cosmic robbery~! Siffrin: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

<Exchanging blows, until another death.>

Siffrin: From main character, to stage director, to retiree, to no one at all! Siffrin: ... Siffrin: The Head Housemaiden... The one you call Scary Lady....

Siffrin: She always spelled doom for my quest. Siffrin: Each time, same thing, same words... Siffrin: "Something's broken, something's failing, rotting!!!" Siffrin: And when I first saw what happened to you after you truly spoke to the King.... Siffrin: After I talked to your party.... Siffrin: I decided to follow them out of curiosity.

<Another death.>

Siffrin: And then I saw you. Curled up. Sad. Alone. Frozen. Siffrin: I was relieved! I thought, maybe, there was a silver lining to all this! Maybe I was just spared from a hopeless ending! Siffrin: ... Siffrin: But then.... BUT THEN...! Siffrin: You and your stupid friends pulled through! Siffrin: Despite everything that happened, you got your happy ending!!! Siffrin: Why?!? WHY?!? Siffrin: WHY DID YOU GET IT AND NOT ME?!? Siffrin: WHY MY SCRIPT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME?!? Siffrin: WHY HAS THE UNIVERSE FORSAKEN ME?!?

<Another.>

Siffrin: AND THE CURTAINS OPEN ONCE MORE.

Siffrin: You know. Our stories were not so different. Siffrin: Stranded in a country you can never call home. Siffrin: Forgetting almost all about your previous life. Siffrin: Then hope. Actual allies. Siffrin: And then....

(Siffrin swiftly cuts their eyepatch off of their face.)

Siffrin: Loss. Again. Siffrin: But it's fine, because you don't matter, as long you did it for them. Siffrin: But....I don't have them anymore, do I? Siffrin: This family of yours? Complete strangers to me. A mockery of the people I used to be with. Siffrin: And I'm also a stranger to them. Just some weirdo under a tree. Siffrin: Because that's what I am now, aren't I? A nobody, here just to give people directions. Siffrin: Can you even imagine how it feels?

<Another.>

Siffrin: I loved my family. Siffrin: I can never forget them. Siffrin: And yet they are gone! Not a trace, not even shallow copies, nothing! Siffrin: Nothing but a simple memory! Siffrin: But you...! YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!!! Siffrin: CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS, STARLIGHT?!? Siffrin: HAVING EVERYTHING TAKEN FROM YOU JUST SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN HAVE IT ALL!!! Siffrin: MIRABELLE....ISABEAU....ODILE....BONNIE.... Siffrin: THE HOUSEMAIDEN, THE DEFENDER, THE RESEARCHER, THE KID...!!! Siffrin: THEY WERE MINE!!! Siffrin: WHY?!? WHY COULDN'T I HAVE MY GOOD ENDING?!? Siffrin: AND WHY CAN YOU HAVE IT INSTEAD OF ME?!?

<More attacks, until...>

Siffrin: AH--!

(Siffrin flinched!)

(Seeing the opening, you strike.)

Siffrin: ...

(Siffrin can't fight anymore.)

(You've won.)

(...)

Siffrin: ... Siffrin: You.... Siffrin: ....Loop. Starlight. Siffrin: Or whatever your real name is. Siffrin: Let go of my hand.

Loop: (...) "No."

Siffrin: ...Why not?

Loop: "Why should I?"

Siffrin: ..... Siffrin: Isn't it obvious? Siffrin: I wanted to kill you! Siffrin: Out of some pathetic spite towards a person who isn't even real anymore!!! Siffrin: I can't even take your place! It was just for petty revenge! Siffrin: You....you don't want someone like that walking around. Siffrin: You should just let me kill myself and get on with your stupid life!!!

Loop: (You laugh.) "That's kind of dramatic, isn't it? Killing yourself just because you lost."

Siffrin: Haha.... Siffrin: Rich coming from you, starlight. Siffrin: ...Maybe it is. But I want to do it. Siffrin: Dying is the ending I want.

(...)

Siffrin: Starlight, please. Just let me die. I don't want to be here. Siffrin: There's nothing left for me now. Siffrin: You've won. You don't need a guide anymore. And so I should be gone. Siffrin: I can't go back to how it was before, because that past is gone. Siffrin: I can't go back to my friends, because...they aren't even my friends, are they? They don't recognize me and I barely recognize them. Siffrin: There's nothing left for me to do, no script to follow, no Universe to lead me.... Siffrin: ....

(Siffrin sighs.)

Siffrin: Why did it have to be you? Siffrin: I knew I could do it if I only endured just a little more. Siffrin: If only that blinding star could do the same.

Loop: (Oh, Siffrin...) "But don't you get it?"

Siffrin: ... Siffrin: What is there to get?

Loop: "The reason I succeeded, maybe?"

Siffrin: What..?

Loop: "It's thanks to you!"

Siffrin: ...?

Loop: "You did endure, despite being betrayed by your guide." Loop: "You managed to stay by my side until the very end." Loop: "Yeah, you didn't tell me everything, and yeah, you sometimes were mean to me because of the grudge you had..." Loop: "But despite that, you managed to stick it out." Loop: "Only because of that I managed to win."

Siffrin: .... Siffrin: Hah. Siffrin: I can't believe it.

Loop: "?"

Siffrin: Now you're the one guiding me, in a way. Just like last time.

(You laugh.)

Loop: "Isa sends his thanks, by the way." Loop: "All of them do."

Siffrin: Thanks...? For what?

Loop: "Who else helped them get all the way to Euphrasie?" Loop: "They told me to say thank you, for bringing them to me." Loop: "For saving me."

Siffrin: ....So.... Siffrin: ....You weren't lying before....

Loop: "Yeah, see? It is all thanks to you."

Siffrin: ...Starlight.... Siffrin: Why couldn't it be me?

Loop: "I don't know." Loop: "Maybe it was in the script." Loop: "Maybe it was what the Universe wanted." Loop: "Or maybe it's no one's fault."

Siffrin: ....

Loop: "I'm sorry, Siffrin." Loop: "And I also thank you" Loop: "Without you, I would've given up a long time ago." Loop: "Thank you for helping me, this whole time. And I hope you can forgive me."

Siffrin: ...Haha. Siffrin: There's nothing to forgive you for, Loop. Siffrin: You're not the one, after all. Siffrin: ...

(You share a moment of silence.)

Siffrin: ...I think you can get off of me now.

(Oh, right.)

(You help Siffrin up, and they fix their eyepatch back on.)

Loop: ...Siffrin, we can--

Siffrin: Loop.

(They put a hand on your shoulder.)

(You flinch.)

Siffrin: … Siffrin: Please. Siffrin: You're going to have to talk to them, from now on. Siffrin: No more keeping how you feel from them. We both know where this leads. Siffrin: And if one day, no matter what you do, everyone's paths and yours diverge… Siffrin: You'll have to learn to be okay with it. Siffrin: We can't… We can't do this again. Siffrin: Hold them hostage, against their knowledge, against their will, just because we're lonely. Siffrin: Learning to talk to them… Learning to let go… Siffrin: It'll be hard. It'll feel impossible. You might think you'd rather die than share how you feel. Siffrin: After all, isn't bottling things up the reason you managed to break the loops? Siffrin: You didn't have to tell them anything until the very end, and it turned out fine, didn't it?

Loop: (…) "But…" Loop: "But if I had talked to them earlier, then maybe…"

Siffrin: Yeah, dummy. If only you had been strong enough to talk to them, maybe this whole story wouldn't have happened at all. Siffrin: If only I was strong enough.... Siffrin: ... Siffrin: Oh well. It doesn't matter now.

(They let go of you.)

Siffrin: ...I think it's my time to go. Don't worry, nothing bad is gonna happen to me.

Loop: "Where will you go?"

Siffrin: Oh, starlight.... Siffrin: ...I don't know! I think I want to see Vaugarde again, like it is supposed to be. Siffrin: Haven't left this town for months, you know?

Loop: "But....But I--"

Siffrin: Ah, starlight. Siffrin: I know you want me to come with you. With your family, together. Siffrin: ....I don't think I am ready for that yet. Siffrin: I want to be alone, for at least a little bit.

Loop: "...."

Siffrin: Awww, don't make that face! I'm sure you'll do just stellar without me!

(...Against your better judgement, you laugh.)

Loop: "It's been knife knowing you, Siffrin."

(He laughs alongside you.)

Siffrin: Hahahahaha! Siffrin: ...Don't worry, Loop. Siffrin: Somehow, I'm sure I will see you all again. Siffrin: After all, it would be rude to not accept all the thanks in person. Siffrin: And I have this coin I'll have to return to you.

Loop: "And I have yours."

Siffrin: Yeah! So I promise I will come back!! Siffrin: I super duper promise!!! Siffrin: Just don't forget me, okay?

(They bow to you, taking off their hat, and then leave into the wilderness.)

FINALLY! Found a way to get stemoscope audio off my phone

the export button was freed from behind the camera but the file was only playable through google drive- audacity came to the rescue with loopback recording so I can actually get recordings off my phone.

Don't expect these very often though, I post art mainly, tell me what you think! Very nervous to post this ><

[sketchcake]

I’m curious about your inv design!! He has little mandibles, it looks like, and very different anatomy from the other slugcats. Is there any particular thoughts or ‘lore’ there?

Yes actually! Before I get into lore stuff I'm going to tell you that they aren't mandibles, they are little bone outcroppings that spider from his back, I haven't drawn him from behind before but you have gotta trust it's like an X patterning across his back.

NOW

lore time

This requires some general knowledge of my AU(muahahaha… I'll get to inv in a second), basically timeline of it starts with Saint being created, he was made as a solution to the triple affirmative. I know some don't like this explanation for Saint, but I think it is too interesting of a concept to not put into my headcanons.

Anyways all the stuff happens, saint becomes partially an echo but when he tries to ascend and fails, it loops

Loops back to a random place(saint starting location)

This continues through time and Saint meets all of the main scugs and befriends a majority of them(exceptions being survivor and inv)

as Saint gets through all of them, most slugs are dead, and they are left alone in the snow.

NOW I SWEAR THAT WILL BE RELEVANT

Interesting enough, we go to spearmaster now

They are sent on their quest to get to 5P, basically getting no sleep(mix of genetic modifications messing with sleep and general insomnia), on their relatively far quest to get to the iterator

They invented the concept of Inv on their quest(this also included my old Nightcat headcanon but might not be after Watcher comes out) Spearmater created it as a form of escapism basically with their drawings.

Is this concept incredibly stupid, yes

does it make me feel joy, yes

ANYWAYS

so back to Saint, he worked with the power, enough times of looping this overcharges his karma, and its power expands, the loop from just Saint to the world itself

I refer to this as a Karmic impurity, but I can get into that later.

this loopback causes Saint incredible amounts of strife, looping himself back over and over reliving the cycles, dropping himself in with the ones he was attached to(the main campaigns) He had to try and bring it together, all of the people, all in one place and time

The Karmic Imbalance allowed this, this is where Inv comes in.

Saint's haste and excitement, caused a fracture, Spearmaster's little character that was invented became real, Inv was given life, and he and Spearmaster have vague familiarity, a sort of deja vu whenever they see and talk to each other (not that Spearmaster or Inv talk much)

Inv's weird appearance is a testament to his creation, he looks strange because he IS strange, he and Saint are both anomalous, but Inv has a more visual distinction.

anyways

thats my ramble on Inv hope you enjoyed the whole 2 people reading this :]

[aquaburst3]

I was talking with some others on my TWST server about how Vil and Neige's dynamic doesn't work. One of the members pointed out something that I never thought of before. The NRC team should've WON the VDC. Hear me out.

Part of the problem with that arc is that Vil never truly realizes how fruitless his one-sided rivalry with Neige actually is. Vil and Neige's dynamic reminds me a lot of Lance's dynamic with Keith from Voltron. They both fall flat for the same reason—neither Vil or Lance truly realize that they're using their rivalry as an outlet for their personal insecurities and thusly never grow as people.

While Vil knows that he's in the wrong, hence why he says that he's "ugly" when he overblots, the narrative goes out of the way to validate him. By making him lose by a single vote on Rook's part, it casts him as a victim, feeding into his mindset even more. He can go, "Look, look! I lost. It's all Neige's fault. He must pay for stealing for what is rightfully mine." That makes him loopback to square one and never grow as a person.

Instead Vil should've gotten everything that he wanted. He should've won the competition, but it doesn't feel like the sweet victory that he thought it would be. That's when he realizes that wasn't the validation he was actually looking for, and he was only using Neige as an outlet for his own demons. He apologizes to Neige for how he was acting, which Neige forgives him for.

[multibodied]

What if they kissed holding an interface open, feeling everything the other feels in the moment, getting lost in a loopback created in process...loosing touch with where one's body ends and another one's starts

(This is not limited to just a kiss)
