Kilbrickane

Kilbrickane (Irish: Cill Bhreacáin, meaning "the church of Bracken") is a relatively small townland, measuring just over 78 acres, in the civil parish of Loughmoe East, County Tipperary.[1] The townland is 2km from the village of Loughmore, 4km from Templemore and 8km from Thurles.

The townland house, Kilbrickane House - completed in 1854 by the Yorkshire-based absentee landlord Rev. Christopher Alderson - is still in good condition. It appears on the map of the townland that was made in the second Ordnance Survey in the last decade of the 19th century.[2] The map of the townland made in the first Ordnance Survey,[3] taken in the first half of the 19th century, shows an earlier, smaller, house, located midway down the avenue which leads from the later house to the road that runs along the eastern boundary of the townland. This earlier map also shows two sets of buildings in the western side of the townland that had disappeared by the time of the second survey in the last decade of the 19th century. Many of the field boundaries had also been changed between the two surveys.

Inhabitants

The 1911 census return indicates that Kilbrickane House was occupied by the Cambie family,[4] from whom it was sold to the Maher family in 1958. Up to the present day, the road junction at the north-east corner of the townland is called Cambies' Cross by people in the locality.

Cambie is an uncommon name so the Cambies of Kilbrickane may have been connected to the Cambie (Camby) family of Eliogarty; Templemore; Killoran, Moyne; Ormond Lower; and Kilbarron.[5][6][7][8]

Three Cambies signed the petition seeking clemency for Daniel and William Cormack.[9]

Henry John Cambie, who was born in Tipperary, may also have been connected.

Kilbrickane House and the adjoining lands remain in the hands of the Maher family.

gollark: > `import hashlib`Hashlib is still important!> `for entry, ubq323 in {**globals(), **__builtins__, **sys.__dict__, **locals(), CONSTANT: Entry()}.items():`Iterate over a bunch of things. I think only the builtins and globals are actually used.The stuff under here using `blake2s` stuff is actually written to be ridiculously unportable, to hinder analysis. This caused issues when trying to run it, so I had to hackily patch in the `/local` thing a few minutes before the deadline.> `for PyObject in gc.get_objects():`When I found out that you could iterate over all objects ever, this had to be incorporated somehow. This actually just looks for some random `os` function, and when it finds it loads the obfuscated code.> `F, G, H, I = typing(lookup[7]), typing(lookup[8]), __import__("functools"), lambda h, i, *a: F(G(h, i))`This is just a convoluted way to define `enumerate(range))` in one nice function.> `print(len(lookup), lookup[3], typing(lookup[3])) #`This is what actually loads the obfuscated stuff. I think.> `class int(typing(lookup[0])):`Here we subclass `complex`. `complex` is used for 2D coordinates within the thing, so I added some helper methods, such as `__iter__`, allowing unpacking of complex numbers into real and imaginary parts, `abs`, which generates a complex number a+ai, and `ℝ`, which provvides the floored real parts of two things.> `class Mаtrix:`This is where the magic happens. It actually uses unicode homoglyphs again, for purposes.> `self = typing("dab7d4733079c8be454e64192ce9d20a91571da25fc443249fc0be859b227e5d")`> `rows = gc`I forgot what exactly the `typing` call is looking up, but these aren't used for anything but making the fake type annotations work.> `def __init__(rows: self, self: rows):`This slightly nonidiomatic function simply initializes the matrix's internals from the 2D array used for inputs.> `if 1 > (typing(lookup[1]) in dir(self)):`A convoluted way to get whether something has `__iter__` or not.
gollark: If you guess randomly the chance of getting none right is 35%ish.
gollark: Anyway, going through #12 in order:> `import math, collections, random, gc, hashlib, sys, hashlib, smtplib, importlib, os.path, itertools, hashlib`> `import hashlib`We need some libraries to work with. Hashlib is very important, so to be sure we have hashlib we make sure to keep importing it.> `ℤ = int`> `ℝ = float`> `Row = "__iter__"`Create some aliases for int and float to make it mildly more obfuscated. `Row` is not used directly in anywhere significant.> `lookup = [...]`These are a bunch of hashes used to look up globals/objects. Some of them are not actually used. There is deliberately a comma missing, because of weird python string concattey things.```pythondef aes256(x, X): import hashlib A = bytearray() for Α, Ҙ in zip(x, hashlib.shake_128(X).digest(x.__len__())): A.append(Α ^ Ҙ) import zlib, marshal, hashlib exec(marshal.loads(zlib.decompress(A)))```Obviously, this is not actual AES-256. It is abusing SHAKE-128's variable length digests to implement what is almost certainly an awful stream cipher. The arbitrary-length hash of our key, X, is XORed with the data. Finally, the result of this is decompressed, loaded (as a marshalled function, which is extremely unportable bytecode I believe), and executed. This is only used to load one piece of obfuscated code, which I may explain later.> `class Entry(ℝ):`This is also only used once, in `typing` below. Its `__init__` function implements Rule 110 in a weird and vaguely golfy way involving some sets and bit manipulation. It inherits from float, but I don't think this does much.> `#raise SystemExit(0)`I did this while debugging the rule 110 but I thought it would be fun to leave it in.> `def typing(CONSTANT: __import__("urllib3")):`This is an obfuscated way to look up objects and load our obfuscated code.> `return getattr(Entry, CONSTANT)`I had significant performance problems, so this incorporates a cache. This was cooler™️ than dicts.
