Pycreate?

Oh yeah, that is the other way of poisoning a water supply, sabotage it so that it keeps poisoning itself

Not only that, the water supply is linear, so to keep the water dangerous, you gotta keep adding the substance.

PSW?

That is not a potential theory, but an observable fact.

Look up cargo cults

I am mostly interested in the battery tech…

Here in Sweden, there was a lot of complaints on how the police acted during the protests against the EU summit and visit by George W Bush to Gothemburg in 2001.

One key issue was that the police had their faces covered and it was not possible to identify who did what from cameras or witnesses.

What came from this is that when policemen are working with their faces covered, they have an ID number printed on their helmet so they can be identified later.

Is that something that happens in the US?

(Not that I would trust the accuracy of that in the US these days)

Yeah, I know they are psychotic about this shit, doesn’t stop me from getting annoyed

That is a very good practice, it is better than my suggestion as it eliminates potential error when copy pasting

Interesting, I have to look into that, I am taking it slow, and will buy storage drives over a few months to spread the cost out, so I have time to think about it

Yeah, I just found the article really annoying at constantly talking about legal roms…

I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…

Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…

I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…

Impressive to see that the software can distinguish between a legal and an illegal ROM file

I have used dd a few times without destroying my disk, here is my simple recommendation to stay safe:

DON’T TYPE THE COMMAND DIRECTLY INTO THE TERMINAL!

What I mean is that you should open a text editor, type the dd command you want to run in the editor, let it sit for 5 min, go back to the text editor, find the OF path, doublecheck and verify that it is safe.

Correct misstakes, wait another 5 min and do the check again.

Once you are confident that the command is accurate, copy paste it into a terminal and run it.

What if you don’t have one?

I generally stopped drinking alcohol two years ago, there was never any issues with dependency or over drinking involved, I just realized that I slept terrible after drinking even small amounts.

Anyway, I have four bottles of champagne, marked “Trump”, “Putin”, “Musk” and “Orban” respectively, so I can toast on the day the world no longer has to deal with their shit.

I have a bottle of champagne ready…

At this rate that is just the start.

I get your point, but reading about someone screaming and cursing at a techbro dickhead directly to their face is something I would not mind being posted as much as possible.

IBMs tabulation machines were never required for the functions of the death camps, but they vastly increased the speed and efficiency with which the Nazis were able to find and murder people through the death camps.

There are clear differences in countries where the census database were poorly implemented and those that had a well established census database before the Nazis invaded, in how many people the Nazis were able to find and murder.
