Fair, my comment was rude and arrogant, though I maintain that it was a (failed) attempt at showing contempt toward ICE, telling them that I will keep critisising even if they monitor my account.

I am fully aware and horrified about chat control, I am doing my best to work against it, please see my other responses to understand what went wrong with my comment.

This entire comment chain is a just a mis understanding, I made a bad attempt at being edgy and note that I would not stop protesting ICE just because my account may be monitored.

I can now see how it fell flat, and I am sorry for the miscommunication.

Ok, clearly there has been a miscommunication here.

I was trying to say that I don’t care about if I am monitored, I will keep protesting ICE.

I did try and say it a bit edgy which was wrong, I can see that now.

I am sorry for the miscommunication.

No?

I thought I was pretty clear,I was trying to say that I don’t care about if they monitor my account, I will keep protesting ICE on social media

Don’t really care, I am a Swede in Sweden, with no desire to visit the US in the forseeable future.

Here in Sweden the personal number starts with your birthday, then a serial number and finally a checksum that also indicates your gender.

If you have an even checksum digit, that indicates that you are a woman, if you have an odd checksum digit, that indicates that you are a man.

Yes, but I don’t know if any software on windows can actually send ctrl+alt+del to windows given that the key combo is a system interrupt sequence…

Not all laptops have the ability to remap keys in the BIOS/UEFI

“Einstein’s magical orb”

what?

Ok, so Hollywood will do what they did with China when trying to sell their movies there, Saudi’s will suddenly for some random reason be cool, popular and kind completely out of the blue.

Pioneer is a well known Japanese electronics company, they are still going strong, but have exited the optical disc drive business.

So no, Pioneer has not gone out of business, they have however changed focus from optical drives.

I hate that they defined a Copilot key on standard keyboards

Yeah, unfortunately here where I live you may not wash you car at home anymore, unless you have a spot where the waste water is collected and filtered, so I have to go to the petrol station to rent a spot where I can wash my car indoors and they deal with the waste water.

Back in my early school years, I attended a school built on top of a hill, it had an exciting school yard, it had a wooded area, a small field, two football pitches and a secluded steep stone staircase where few teachers could see you.

Anyway, during one winter I was down at the bottom end of the staircase playing during recess, and there was a brown plastic pipe leaking warm water coming out of the ground.

I was fascinated by how it melted the snow, so I started playing with the water, it went on for a few days, possibly a week, only then did I suddenly see a tissue paper and brown stuff coming out of the pipe…

Yeah, it was a pipe with raw sewage that I had played with, shortly thereafter the pipe was dealt with by the school.

I am 37 now, and I was seldom sick as I grew up…

Sometimes when my room is very cold, I sleep with socks on, though the rest usually stays off.

20 at home, 18 when away.

Here is a reminder for all US citizens.

Your social security number is simply a serial number with zero checksums or any logic built in.

If you want another valid social security number you can simply pick a number before or after your own.

The social security number was never designed to be a general ID number, and should not be used as such.

Since I can afford them, I have only considered new drives.

I would consider refurbished drives for a less critical application, say if I ran several several redundant several redundant servers.

I would not use general 2nd hand drives for anything other than experimental/homlab use, with refurbished drives you will at least have some knowledge of the general reliability of the drives, with simple used drives, that is not the case.

I have already had bitrot ruin a few of my personal photos, witch is why I want double protection on my storage, I am considering having my NAS run read verification of all files two times a year, if data get’s corrupt, the NAS can use the double parity data to restore the lost data, running it twice a year should be enough to deal with my stuff, while not adversly affect the lifetime of the HDDs in any meaningfull way.
