On the surface it looks just like Fox. * Fox eases you into the bullshit, They choose what they want to cover newswise and just kind of let that tell their story. They let the real propaganda jump in and special events and with their opinion people. If you already have the right mindset and lack the ability to sniff out propaganda you would easily confuse Fox News for being just regular news.

OAN anchors come right straight out with the propaganda. When Biden was getting inaugurated they were freaking out with all the fences around the Capitol, when it was their own people that caused that to need to be there. They’re not covering the news to make the narrative they’re making the narrative and just fitting in whatever pictures they can to tell their story.

My wife stayed at an Airbnb last week, I tried to convince her to turn the parental controls on and block OAN and Fox.

Those had me nail biting over the scale of months/years. That first cancer one where they were holding each other with no reference frame was rough. 800 frames of sarcasm and wit and all of a sudden… BOOM

He explained it like 6 months later, but stayed pretty quiet, then the two years (1141) was kinda optimistic, then 7 (1928) was kinda a breath of relief, 10 years (2386) was refreshing, now I’m quietly waiting to see 15.

Before the Judge has time to intervene is now optional.

You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.

Look at the code, though; it doesn’t do any of that.

You can kick off a trim in powershell and erase all the whitespace. https://blog.thomasdamgaard.dk/posts/2022/03/06/trim-filesystem-from-powershell/

You can also do secure delete on files from powershell and HDD free space wipes. https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_securely_delete_files_in_windows_10.html

48PB in excess of 120 million items.

Most of our distributed storage sharing systems break down long before that.

Even if DHT could handle it, we’d need like five full copies of it out there for it to be safe, and not one or two people with multi petabyte rigs, when you get really distributed.

2100 22tb drives

~700k dollars.

If you factor in volume discounts you can probably afford enough discs to make it a bunch of nice raids.

Of course, then you’ll need a bunch of really expensive chassis to be able to mount them and have them working.

Seems like somebody could stand a spare a couple million to make that happen.

That or make some attempt to do a free space wipe, or prune the registry, or, you know any reason whatsoever to actually write it in c++.

It’s probably a sufficient wipe to keep your partner or kids from finding stuff, But it’s not going to stop a state agency. Like they won’t have logs from those services from your IP address. Like your registry isn’t absolutely chocked full of your history and the history of those apps.

Forensic analysis on that drive will net them most of every one of those deleted files.

And frankly of all the things to wipe, wth is up with steam?

Mush is an easy target. We’re have a harder time getting a handle on Bozos. We need some spine in the government that can tax some fuckers.

We’ve only been broadcasting for 120 years, which is ~120 light-years away. Someone within that bubble needs to be technologically advanced enough to have been listening for the past 120 years.

Also, our average transmissions are pretty weak. If we really want to get noticed, We should have been firing intense lasers at them.

That’s assuming they came here first :)

Also, assuming one of the 60 horrible things happening right now doesn’t prove the Fermi paradox.

They’re looking for traffic patterns. It doesn’t matter what encryption you’re using, If it’s point to point, they’re going to find it and disable it.

I use sync thing with untrusted keys. That way the data ends up in multiple locations but it’s not accessible remotely. If you don’t care about the data and the locations you don’t have to do that but it’s a nice feature.

There are adapters to bring then back to regular SATA connectors. Then you could throw HBAs at them. You’re going to have a hell of a time managing the heat though. They’re lower power, but they’re not exactly cool running.

Apple already proved they’ll roll over for the EU on encryption backdoors.

If it comes down to them selling in the US or not selling in the US, they’re going to roll over and do whatever the government demands.

They’re all so holding all of your data, metrics, and browsing habits securely in their hands.

When the government demands baggacips data, they’re going to hand it over, the same as Google would.

And none of this is ever a problem until the government goes kind of fascist. When browsing privacy subs on Lemmy becomes an act of treason…

Even if I’m not doing anything wrong or illegal, I sure as hell I’m not going to send my data through a VPN that logs and is known to comply with foreign court requests.

You can in fact drive yourself insane trying to stay private and secure, But I do know that trusting a single gigantic monolithic company that operates in a questionable regime to protect you from government entities is a losing battle.

Hard disagree, I’d bifurcate my internal DNS in a hot second before I tried to fix this with static routes. Those* internal services and that DNS server aren’t going anywhere. The only time they can affect it is when it’s needed

Asking a noob to handle static routes is a double ungood situation.

A home gamer with a router that can handle reflection would be rare.

It’s one service that he’s hosting and in control of, and he’s also in control of that internal IP so it doesn’t have to change.

If anything I’d be worried that those VMs (and applications in the VM) are getting regular updates. He’s more likely to get intrusion through a zero day on one of those hacks than he is to see any serious issues through throwing a couple DNS records around.

Before COVID, it was nothing to run into Duncan and get three or four dozen donuts for the office. They were less than $9 a dozen.

They currently want $25 for a dozen at my local Duncan. We used to have donuts at work all the time. Now it’s like once a year.

I guess they’re making too much money off overpriced coffee to bother with making donuts.

Oh I did, just wanted some of that salt.

and all are doing pretty well

China, hmm, so Taiwan, Hong Kong, The Uyghurs control production so they are in charge? Doesn’t look like it. Civil unrest over lack of representation shouldn’t be a thing in a working communism right?

NK is a dictatorship and we all know it, it doesn’t matter what they call themselves. Also, from ANY journalism that has made it outside the boarders, I think it would be grossly unfair to call them even OK.

I might give you a couple of points for Cuba being throttled, but damn things aren’t good there.

I don’t have a lot of expertise in LAOS or Vietnam, things don’t look very rosey

Worldwide human-rights watches also don’t paint things well in Vietnam.

Even if you claim that’s all propaganda, places like Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Europe don’t seem to have any where near the tumult over any of the countries you mentioned.

To be clear, I don’t think communism can’t work. But I also don’t think any of these countries really take communism seriously. Each of these should be overwhelmingly by the people for the people, but there seem to be serious issues about people and work.

The current state of capitalism is fucked too. You have to find places that aren’t being pillaged by the oligarchs no matter where you go, and that’s becoming harder and harder no matter your governmental structure.

It’s a fine point you make, which communist countries (which aren’t a dictatorship in a trenchcoat) out there are doing particularly well?
