'Jeepers Creepers' Was Inspired By A Real Life Killer
One of the most popular and successful horror films of the early 2000's was the 2001 film Jeepers Creepers. The iconic horror movie, directed by Victor Salva, introduced a modern horror icon commonly known as The Creeper. The character, teased to be some kind of winged demon that feeds for 23 days every 23 years, is one that's made a massive impact on fans over the decades. What's interesting, however, is that the Jeepers Creepers monster is actually inspired by a real life killer.
There is indeed a real life inspiration for the antagonist of the Jeepers Creepers film franchise, and it's none other than real life killer Dennis DePue. For those unfamiliar with the story, DePue shot his wife in 1990 after she filed for divorce, and continued to dump her body behind an abandoned school house.
This should already bring to mind the events of Jeepers Creepers, especially for those who remember The Creeper similarly disposing his victims behind an abandoned church. But what's even more interesting is that Jeepers Creepers took even further inspiration from these actual events. In fact, it seemed to closely follow the testimony given be two eyewitnesses that saw Dennis DePue dump his wife's body.
Ray and Marie Thornton were the eyewitnesses that watched Dennis DePue dispose of his wife's corpse. And, much like the events of the movie, they were soon followed by Dennis DePue who continued to get in his van and tailgate the couple for several miles before stopping. What's more, their testimony became the basis for an episode of Unsolved Mysteries – and the similarities with the chase scene from Jeepers Creepers are undeniable.
You can see a video below that uses both the Unsolved Mysteries clip and the scene from Jeepers Creepers to emphasize the similarities.
The episode of Unsolved Mysteries later led to the discovery of Dennis DePue, who ultimately ended up committing suicide. Victor Salva has never admitted the influence of Unsolved Mysteries on Jeepers Creepers, instead citing Steven Spielberg's Duel as one of his inspirations instead.

Have we told you lately how much we love our relay operators? Relays are the backbone of the Tor network, providing strength and bandwidth for our millions of users worldwide. Without the thousands of fast, reliable relays in the network, Tor wouldn't exist.
We're here to tell you that you can become one of the many thousands of relay operators powering the Tor network, if you have some basic command-line experience.
We've made the guide read-only in order to maintain quality control over the content. This guide updates and replaces existing relay documentation. Eventually, the Tor Relay Guide will become part of our future Community Portal, which will live at community.torproject.org (not available yet). In addition to the Tor Relay Guide content, the Community Portal will include information for Tor trainers, ways to get involved with the Tor community, talks and other events happening in the Tor world, and more.
If you run into technical issues while setting up your relay, please reach out to the tor-relays mailing list (subscribing is required to post to the list).
Did you find a mistake or want to help improving the guide? Let us know. Please file your suggestions on trac.torproject.org under the "Community/Relays" component.
Thank you to all who helped with this.
The guy that needs a lot of our applaud is nusenu who helped a lot with the guide and is always helping out on the tor-relays mailing list, thank you for your service!
I think that a recurring round of virtual applause, expressions of gratitude, notes of appreciation and all that mushy stuff are long overdue. thanks guys.
This new relay guide is great. Thanks to all who wrote it!
It's a hobby/c.v. tag : usa old_U style.
Running a relay with the support of an organization/firm/asso/school could be an option, a challenge ; alone it should be a suicide, a waste of time & money.
This article asks participation & effort from "users" or from a politic/social class who could change an influence. They have failed definitively _netneutrality,freedom of speech,etc._ in the usa (canada-australia-newzealand-uk). I think that they should begin to work from NYC to the others towns of the united states and build their own network for their private resident first (melting-pot) : the usa is a materialist world not an idealist one (incompatibility).
there is a video in the blog post that does nothing with played.
I'm sorry if it does not play in your browser, we tested it only in TorBrowser, but you can download it also and play it locally.
Try to make *BSD relays if possible to provide OS diversity, since most relays use Linux.
it is a step for spreading the states of the necessity of a private channel.
The guide is awesome, and addresses the issues raised many times here (e.g. give us a sense of the minimum useful bw needed for non-exit node) which were not IMO clearly addressed in previous guides. Also very happy to see good advice regarding improving geolocation diversity. Thank you much!
> Any modern CPU should be fine.
Do the Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities pose a potential threat to Tor nodes? According to what I've read at wired.com etc, these break the low-level distinction between kernel space memory and user space memory, potentially allowing unprivileged process to directly access cryptographic keys etc held in kernel space memory. If I understand correctly, this could enable a determined attacker to read Tor traffic if they compromise enough nodes.
Further, I understand that known forensic methods are unlikely to be able to detect that information has been accessed in this way.
Further, I understand that the Intel patches which prevent speculative execution can slow down performance by 30% in such areas as cryptographic processing and data transfers over internet, which would appear to affect Tor nodes. It appears possible that some software which expects computations to be completed quickly might break due to the slowdown. I guess that most tor servers should handle an unexpected 30% slowdown, but has anyone checked?
Many thanks to the authors of the new Guide! It clearly addresses many of the basic issues which were not clearly addressed by previous guides (e.g. minimal useful bandwidth, how to increase geolocational diversity).
Can TP please ensure that this new guide remains easy to find/cite? The URL should be put high on the landing page, I think.
Also, thanks to nusenu for diligently searching for undeclared families which might be doing something bad (e.g. attacking the Tor network as per Carnegie-Mellon/FBI). That is a very important but tricky task.
> The head of the FBI is expected to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee in the coming week for a routine hearing about global threats that pose a risk to U.S. national security.
So FBI Director Wray will be there--- will Tor Project be there to defend Tor users against FBI's latest "Going Dark" demands? Cannot TP leverage its former status as a product of USG to garner a little face time before Congress, in order to present our POV?
Director Wray is likely to blame Tor for the Dec 2015 cyberattack which brought down portions of the Ukraine power grid, and to use this to argue for making strong encryption (and thus, Tor and Wikipedia) illegal. It is relevant that the US House just passed a bill funding cybersecurity cooperation between USA and Ukraine, precisely to counter the threat of cyberattacks to power grids, including those using "smart meters" which are far more vulnerable (much higher attack profile).
We need Tor Project to try to make sure that Congress understands what Tor really does and how it works. We need to make sure Congress understands that Tor is not part of the problem but rather part of the solution. If we fail to do so, we may wake up to find our doors being kicked in because we are using something we need which has been declared in dead of night to be "illegal encryption".
Will Cy Vance's Anti-Encryption Pitch Change Now That The NYPD's Using iPhones?
It seems noteworthy that two outstanding civil rights figures have died: John Perry Barlow, author of the Internet Manifesto and founder of EFF, and Asma Jahangir, who fearlessly challenged the worse abuses of the PK government (unfortunately, disappearances of students and bloggers in PK is again rising).
So if USG declares unbackdoored encryption illegal, what is our plan? Will TP renege on its vow never to introduce backdoors into Tor? Will TP be able to immediately move overseas and to continue to provide Tor to USPERs? Are TP people prepared to go underground, or will key Tor People employees quit? Or will TP simply shut down?
I hate the first and last options. Perhaps if we had an honest public discussion we could find better options.
The USA does not rule the world ! They can make Tor illegal as much as they like in their own country, it will still exist.
PGP is illegal but you can still get it easily.
We are discussing with libraries to setup exit nodes. This needs to be extremely easy.
So can we get a live-USB where the torrc + this-is-an-exit-node.html can be edited on the USB-disk?
This way they simply need to supply an old server that can boot on USB, and set network using DHCP.
Upgrading will be similarly simple: Send them a new USB-drive. Ask them to turn off the server and change the USB-drive.
To minimize the attack surface it is fine if there are no other services accessible from the internet (e.g. no ssh).
Tails Server is a very promising project. Apparently very hard but Tails Project has been working very hard on this.
I hope that Tails Server will be very useful for things like Library Freedom Project. Hopefully the first versions will appear soon and LFP can test.
Teresa May is moving down a list, attacking successively smaller messaging platforms. When will she come to Tor Project?
> "These companies simply cannot stand by while their platforms are used to facilitate child abuse, modern slavery or the spreading of terrorist and extremist content," she told the audience in Davos. ... "Just as these big companies need to step up, so we also need cross-industry responses because smaller platforms can quickly become home to criminals and terrorists. We have seen that happen with Telegram. And we need to see more cooperation from smaller platforms like this," she said.
> Despite the years of strong words, however, actions from the UK government have been rare. The Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, strongly backed by May while she was home secretary, gave the government the power to demand the removal of encryption applied to messages, but the government has yet to apply that power to any major technology firm.
TP is neither "major" nor a "firm". Nor well-funded. Is TP ready for a removal order issued by the UK government? What is the plan if you are served with one?
Why is openvz not recommended?
It's generally cheaper than KVM VPS's.

Judge stops fast food law in California because restaurants and unions are chasing after each other
Check out what's being clicked on on FoxBusiness.com
A Sacramento Superior Court judge on Friday blocked a proposed California law that would give the state power to negotiate the wages and working conditions of fast food workers.
The bloc depends on the outcome of the proposed referendum being pushed Fast food giants to crush the proposed changes.
The Fast Food Accountability and Recovery Standards ("FAST") Act has seen significant opposition from restaurateurs and franchisees as labor unions struggle to give the state a seat at the table in negotiating wages.

Elections officials have not yet finished counting signatures on the referendum proposal, but if enough is counted, the court ruling will stop the law from taking effect until Californians can make up their minds.
California's Department of Industrial Relations will begin putting the law into effect Sunday pending a successful reform application. However, concrete wage negotiations likely won't begin until late next year.
