Whatever’s around. Some writable filesystem.

Rsync and cron

Ty! I also have one of the same model, same specs, completely busted top cover that wiggles and wobbles around if they want to slum it and save some more bucks.

Tbh you should just get a mac.

You can have privacy on them with a little less effort than on windows and they’re already decently secure. They can play cyberpunk and you already have the linux (bsd) toolkit. They’re already the kind of computer you like with the good trackpad etc.

I would drop your “be European” requirement.

I can sell you a 15” dell with a quad core and 32gb of ram.

E: this is not a joke, I have a 3520 from a couple of years ago with an 11th gen i7, a 256gb nvme, the sata kit included and 32gb of ddr4. HMU.

I don’t care about whatever argument you’re having. It’s extremely inaccurate to claim Americas entry into ww2 was diplomatically motivated when Japan was taking by military force islands that had been part of an extractive zone contested by them and America. It’s literally two imperial powers low key fighting over their periphery then one goes PISS NUKE INCOMING.

Again, I do not care about whatever argument you’re having. If anything I want you to be able to integrate more information into your understanding of imperialism. It’s really hard for us as westerners to do that when so much of the groundwork of our historical understanding is jingoism and great man and it’s good you’re interrogating your own ideas.

Also you should probably start with the Spanish American war as your American point of entry into imperialism (you say here “global interventionism” but idk wth that means.)

I think they have an average 40% adoption rate?

That flattens individuals and second string kill pens into the same group though.

No one with any political power wants actual culls though and the feral mustang herd plays an important role in keeping the blm grazelands in shape for ranchers to run cows on em.

So even if you can climb the ideology mountain there’s real material forces at work preserving the feral mustang herd.

Hey I don’t have time to do a whole infodump style reply but off the dome Washington profited immensely from the revolutionary war because he was a land speculator and the us needed to get into ww2 so it could stop the empire of japan from taking control of all the island territories it chased Spain off of.

I wouldn’t personally call the first example imperialism because you gotta make a distinction between Byzantine and American somehow and the one from imperialism the highest stage of capitalism seems appropriate and answers a lot of questions but the second one is literally imperialism by any definition you wanna call it.

Also even if you fully reject Lenin’s work you gotta grapple with the historical facts that the eastern states didn’t really create a program of mass import of raw materials from the western expansion states and complete control over the western states government to the detriment of the people who lived in them to the extent that the nation they represented did to the Philippines for example. The distinction between imperialism and colonialism for the modern age helps with that and fits many other modern examples, most notably israel. Israel isnt doing imperialism to Palestinians, they are doing colonialism.

Regarding Americas western expansion I am compressing a million pages of history and some really powerful counterexamples into a did they didn’t they statement here and I know that.

Like I said I don’t have time to do the other two without referring to a bunch of books to get my claims perfectly exactly irrefutably correct on the (no offense intended) Redditor instance.

Yeah whenever blm does a roundup they shuffle the animals off to privately run kill pens that warehouse them in substandard conditions and market them to horse girls on social media.

It’s illegal to kill horses for meat in America so you gotta put em on a train to Canada where they mostly become dogfood.

But Americans don’t want them to be killed directly and instead ship the carcasses, so they hold the horses so someone can “adopt” them.

I don’t know why I used quotes there, it’s animal adoption just like a dog or cat except for the wild differences.

While the animals are held in government subsidized private kill pens they are subject to conditions that pretty much every horse owner hates.

Of course the solution is much bigger roundups with direct kills but the horse people hate that idea.

You’d need to sub in a diode. Theres only about a million and a half different ones so youll need to figure out the size, breakdown, drop, uh, power handling, something else probably then desolder the one on there and solder in your new one.

A lot of stuff just uses light pipes to bring diodes to some nebulous “front” because it’s easier.

You’re barking up the wrong tree and fucking up your life by doing this.

Split the streaming/gaming duty to a different device that can be operated in the way the user expects.

Wherever you disconnect shutdown signals from will be relied upon by something down the road and you’ll end up with a weird messed up broken update when that happens.

Single party consent for recording in public (or in places a person could be reasonably expected to be recorded) is the norm everywhere I’m aware of.

A private conversation would be one where you could claim that a person is expected to read a privacy policy to people but of course that would be preempted by the recording party following actual laws governing recording and would never be expected.

You’ll just have to launder your purchases of Chinese parts through mouser or digikey like the big boys do.

E: try to be diligent when using farnell. They end up with weird shit sometimes.

Yes of course this will only rewrite some number of blocks that total the disks reported capacity. In the case that a person is worried about hidden blocks being preserved by a wear leveling algorithm they could just run the same command again and that would get em all.

That’s only true for some environments.

E: this is the first time I’ve read that blog post since it was published (or at least a long time ago) and there’s now a comment specifically referencing the actual behavior I observed in the wild when I tried to sub other things in for “normal” uses of dd:

Nobody says: 2016-12-30 at 15:17

cat /dev/cdrom > myfile.iso

Works

cat myfile.iso > /dev/cdrom

Won’t – dd allows you do handle writes in various block sizes, so if a device can’t handle a one-byte write, cat could well end up writing your byte followed by zeros (and because of where the pointer now is, do it again for the next byte).

Still, all your other points stand – nice piece.

While that comment was written seventy years ago, in this age of people with questionable intent, capability and integrity rewriting system tools in rust there’s no better time to linger thoughtfully over cp or cat or any number of other commands that begin with the letter “c” before grabbing the ol’ reliable footgun whose fifty years of script backwards compatibility ensure that no one can get their dd replacement accepted in normal use until it behaves as expected.

Yes the cd will absolutely be higher quality than the mp3. You should buy it and read how to rip to flac then upload it to red or oph.

Secure erase just drops the ssd controllers table of where logical blocks are in the physical memory and trims the disk. Which is good and you should do.

That means a person would have to address the memory directly with flying leads or a bed of nails or something. Or have special software that makes the controller tell them what’s on each physical block and then put that data together into a bunch of files.

If that worries you, do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/<disk> before you secure erase.

Then everything on the drive will be random static before the secure erase drops the block table and trims, so even if someone uses magic power to read the block contents directly they just get to see static.

That has the benefit of speeding up the drive by resetting read fatigue at the expense of one layer of writes which is always worth it.

Am I mistaken or are you the same person who asked if you were the asshole for not planning to attend your fathers funeral after being given an explicit invitation and request to attend because you might see people you don’t like?

If so, consider making amends before tricking your parents into a public place so you can ask them how they want to handle their deaths with a little less chance of your own discomfort.

If possible, enroll in a program of therapy. What you’re experiencing isn’t abnormal, but the way you’re responding to it definitely is. I want you to be healthy and have access to the resources you need during the experience of managing loved ones lives.

Please do me the kindness of again reading this in the most sincere and respectful voice:

It’s best to put your privacy and safety needs above the possible results of a tiny fraction of the money you spend going to a foreign party you dislike.

Doh and dnssec will probably be good enough till you can sock back $20 to mail to Sweden.

This is happening because you touch yourself. It’s punishment from god for the sin of onanism.

E: actually probably everyone itt is forgetting about ssd read fatigue. Rewrite every block on your ssd and the problem will go away.
