If anyone cares, these drives are slow (SMR), but they're practically silent. I upgraded a NAS at home with a 16TB Exos after accumulating 4 years of 24x7x365 operation, and the sudden lack of silence is... Noticable.

The very definition of genocide.

You'd think that Israelis would be more self-aware, but there's plenty of videos of them cheering the seige of Gaza and the bombing of children. I don't want to paint them all with the same brush, but there's a metric fuckload of people in those crowds.

I like the idea that politicians are held to a higher standard, but I can't imagine it would be easy to enforce. If it was a financial penalty, it would encourage corruption. If the penalty was an exclusion from running in the next election, the group that makes that determination could be weaponized. It would be difficult to structure.

Heh... I like the idea of a 'blue line' 'centre ice' party... Every Canuck should know what it means, and it's a nod to our Hockey heritage, but I can totally see it getting mixed up with the nazi police 'thin blue line' bullshit.

Then what's the spin you want to hear from a politician that would make you vote for them? (That is, spin that isn't full of racism and rhetoric about the other side.)

I think it's a false division, which is stoked by far-right leaning politicians. I'd like to believe that even people who lean right politically are still for functioning public education and health care. The issue is that people aren't doing as well as they remember doing 20 years ago for a variety of very solvable issues.

Oh, and I had a thought about their methodology - the screen recording software only works when it's booted from the internal hard drive. Boot with a USB stick with a Linux live image, mount the internal drive as read-only, and you can copy the entire thing, and nobody will ever know.

Also, wipe your hard drives before you throw out computers. Folks throw PCs out all the time in my office building, and I pick them up to refurb and 'freecycle' them. More than half the time, I'll plug it in to see if it will boot it up, and the drives are still intact, and loaded up with personal data... Then I plug in my DBAN USB stick and wipe the drive(s) 3x.

Nope, there's a mad rush to get as many cargo ships through as possible before the Seaway freezes in January. The timing is perfect.

Also, this device isn't fully supported on OpenWRT (yet?), so it's not like it's a good deal just for the hardware.

The way I do it (cast iron pan on the BBQ, screamin' hot at 700+C) is super delicious. So much so that I think I might fire up a steak this weekend. Gotta check the weather forecast to see if it's worthwhile.

I clearly need to get better weed then... I don't see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that's not there when I've had some gummies. All I get it a good night's sleep.
