Wow you’re right! TIL!
I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00’s had some “protection” so that I couldn’t rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.
Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it’s not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.
That’s the New Testament, meaning the Christian Bible.
The last election in Gaza was in 2006. 65% of the population in Gaza is 24 or younger (!!!) so the majority of Gaza residents literally could not have voted for anyone, including Hamas.

Godzilla was from 1954!

Definitely worth watching.
That was a wild ride!
Yes, correct. You have to assume that each party will be tracking everything they can, otherwise it doesn’t make sense. So the age verifier will know that you have requested many authentication in a given time.
IIRC Osama bin Laden had three reasons for 9/11. One was non-Muslim soldiers in Saudi Arabia (he was salty because Kuwait asked the US for aid against Iraq and not the Taliban). The other was Israel. I don’t recall the third off the top of my head.
Yes, and it can be done in a way where the organization validating the age doesn’t know the purpose. They would still know that you requested an age validation and when, but that’s it. So the German government wouldn’t know whether it was for porn or for signing up for a youth hostel.
I’m not saying that I agree with the restrictions, but it is possible technically.
A system doesn’t have to be perfect to accomplish most of its goals. I mean, mass usage could be easily caught. Smaller scale abuse would be like giving your younger friend a beer - technically against the rules but not really a huge problem.
I had a Helios that literally just started having trouble powering SATA disks a few days ago. I got it in 2019 I think, so only 5 years of life.
I use Linux LVM and either ext4 (for older volumes) or btrfs (for newer volumes, because I want the checksums across the data) so in principle I could throw the disks in a PC as a temporary solution.
I have put the disks in SATA to USB 2.0 caddies, and the Helios 4 kind of still works, but I’m ordering a couple of Orange Pi 5 and with USB 3.0 disk enclosures to replace it. It was kind of time anyway, since Nextcloud has dropped support for 32-bit CPU.
I learned to my surprise in WWI the officers had some of the highest casualty rates. I struggled a bit to find the reference just now, but here is something along those lines:

I don’t know about now, but at least at one point in the British imperial past the upper classes shed blood with the poors.
The US government is shipping weapons to Israel, so yes, it is also participating in genocide. The laundry list of US crimes goes back to the birth of the nation and did not stop for a single moment.
China is not great, but don’t be fooled, the USA is an imperialist power built on a pile of bodies, both foreign and domestic.
Or join the EFF which already does great work in this area. They don’t always succeed, but I doubt a GoFundMe could do better.
Indeed.
Iraq (no nukes) - armies flattened and US-installed government running the show.
North Korea (nukes) - stern finger-wagging by Democrats and angry rhetoric followed by hand jobs from Trump.
Pakistan (got nukes violating treaties) - serious frowning by US until we needed them for our pointless “war on terror” in Afghanistan, then all was forgiven and forgotten.
Iran (desperately seeking nukes) - agreed to stop their efforts for a hot minute until Trump rolled the deal back, showing that US is an unreliable partner and not to be trusted.
Overall the message is clear: get nukes as fast as you can and you’ll be safe to torture and oppress your people. The west in general and the US in particular doesn’t have any real efforts to stop you (although watch your opsec and don’t use Israeli USB sticks you find lying around…).
