And they could lose a lot - their job first, which also means their house and their health insurance. Not to mention plenty of laws criminalizing most protest already, where you are bound to be caught on camera or via other digital surveillance, and a single arrest on your permanent record means no future employment, and missed payments on your credit history means no future economic prospects.

It’s astounding you aren’t already rioting! People in my country would tar and feder the guy who’s responsible for that or anyone who doesn’t want to change that.

“If he’s that worried about it and wets himself like a little child, then he is unworthy and will never lead France,” Bannon said.

You know, it’s not a productive thing to insult the guys you want to get on your side. Rookie mistake.

but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.

That’s no problem.
The protests that brought down East Germany weren’t that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn’t exist back then. Most didn’t even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.

The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

Now you know what to do:
Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.

There will be a price to pay for past decisions

Yeah, that price is that no sane economy will invest in Russia as long as they are scum. They have proven that they don’t care about contracts, sovereignty, territorial borders and human dignity.

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxing champion, first entered the public eye (…) after a video showed him hitting a woman with a belt and telling a woman to count the bruisers he allegedly gave her.

What a sick bastard! And the US wants to have that one released? WTF is wrong with them?

What have you done America, what the hell have you done…

Apparently nothing much in terms of general education.

He looks like he has a glass eye. Must have been in a really bad accident. Also looks pretty fat.

It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.

Description of the Dragon Slayer - Berserk

It seems a move that’s not only intended to help Ukraine repel Russia, but end defense dependence on the US, on the premise that the partner no longer is reliable.

Which is a good thing IMO. From this side of the large pond the USA looks more and more like a bully on par with Russia and China.

East of UA is fucked for decades but Russia is fucked too. Both countries burnt through quite a lot of their arsenal from Soviet times and struggle to keep their troops supplied. UA has it easier because the European countries help with weapons, munitions and other equipment.

Unfortunately Russia can sustain the current attrition rate by another 5-10 years before the situation becomes truly unbearable for them. My fear is that by then the UA might have collapsed.

The best case scenario is that Putin dies shortly and his successor ends this stupid war.

I’m under the impression that these guys are driven workaholics. They just can’t stop. Working is their hobby and playtime. They just can’t sit still if there’s something that can be done.
They have to squeeze out everything there is to squeeze. And if there’s something -like a law- that’s preventing them from doing that they’ll fight it with every fiber of their body.

There are a number of option of how to monetize the platform.
You could

• paywall nfsw subs as suggested in the other comments
• limit the number of subs a free account can access in one day
• limit the number of comments a free account can post daily
• add some sort of paid tag for everyone to see

I’m sure there are a lot of other ways that make reddit inconvenient for free accounts.

Can’t read the article because that site sucks.

Elon Musk called Thursday to “delete entire agencies” from the U.S. government

He can start by deleting DOGE and the president.

100 days for that?

IMO it depends on how much action is displayed in the movie. If there are a lot of dynamic scenes like car chases you’ll need a high rate while ‘simple’ dialog scenes can get away with way less.

That also means it depends on what movies you like to watch.

I have a really hard time distinguishing between a good 4K webrip (15-20 Mbps) and remux (40-80 Mbps), so I have no issue keeping the majority of my library encoded at ~18Mbps

That’s because Netflix and the other common services usually only stream at 6-15 Mbps. You’ll have to resort to Bravia Core or blu-ray discs to get anything in the 80 Mbps range.

Hahahahahaha. Doesn’t he realize that the original Nazis would have refused to call him a human? They’d call him ape just because he’s black.

Anyways don’t travel to Europe with that shirt. You’ll get beaten or jailed the moment you step out of the plane.

I’m surprised too. I thought is was all shut down or the workers fired until only the cleaning crew was left.

Is SSD really necessary? Everything I search up says SSDs have worse retention than HDD in cold storage. A couple TB of HDD is pretty cheap these days, and seems like a better cold storage option.

SSDs are by design less susceptible and more robust. No moving parts and able to work in much harsher conditions than hdds will ever be able to. The standard set by JEDEC requires every consumer ssd to have a 1 year data retention while powered off at 30 °C (I think). That’s the minimum it has to archieve but usually they are better than that. Do not buy the cheapest thumb drives because they contain the all the crap that wasn’t good enough to make ssds from it.
Btw you need to fire hdds up regularly too or the motor gets stuck. I think every 3-6 months was the recommendation.

Yes, so now I’m thinking a rotation cycle. About every 5 years replace the drives with new ones, copy over all data.

Don’t make it flat every 5 years. Let a software monitor the SMART values of the drives and send notifications if the values indicate an increased change of a dying disc/ssd.

Does this matter if I have a SATA->USB cable stored with it?

Those are the first that fail, followed by the usb controller chip in the tray. Keep it as simple as possible. Removable trays are probably the best way but I’m not sure how much wear they can take.

Do not buy 2.5" drives. This class will die out soon™. There were no new hdds introduced in years and ssds are often replaced by M.2 ones because of the faster connection.

Printing the photos won’t help much. After 20 or so years they are all discolored. You can’t prevent that.

I think SSDs might be the best storage medium for you. Consumer-grade ssds have a 1 year data retention when powered off. That means at least once per year you have to turn it on and copy the data around one time to refresh the cells. This way it’ll probably last several 100 years.

You can’t exactly make it fool-proof. Outside people will never know what you did to create your backup and what to do to access it. Who knows if the drives file system or file types are still readable after 20 years? Who knows if SATA and USB connectors are still around after that time?
For example it is very likely that SATA will disappear within the next 10-15 years as hdds are becoming more and more an enterprise thing and consumers are switching to M.2 ssds.
