politics has never been logical.

I understand your point here, but the “both sides bad” really loses the plot when the death, destruction and suffering by the most innocent is astronomically asymmetrical.

at this juncture I don’t give a shit if every combatant is the devil himself. stop the flow of kid killing weaponry and get appropriate humanitarian aid in.

20fucking24 and we still cannot pull our thumbs out of our collective asses, put the homicidal money machine into neutral and stop mowing down kids. fuck us all, every goddamn one of us.

brutalist take, but likely the correct one :-(

gotcha. you likely know this already, but throw a little ddrescue - data recovery tool at it and let it marinate for a while.

however, depending on the state of the drive and ddrescue recovery option intensity, there might not be much left of the drive once it melts through the desk.

have fun!

not that you shouldn’t replace the drive anyway, but…

depending on the drive epoch (I am guessing its ide/ata not ST-506) you could try a factory format. with the right drive and phase of the moon, the on-drive controller may actually go off and do it for real instead of faking it. its usually worth a try an old drive just for funsies.

no worries.

the net effect of client separation is that your device sees no other layer 2 devices on the wlan besides the gateway. this would typically be enforced at the frame level by the APs and is separate from any radio privacy cryptography.

a properly configured wireless setup would assume every client is compromised and would also disallow local client-client via source routing or proxy ARP or any other escape options. 100% secure? probably not, but its a non trivial barrier that would have to be circumvented.

as with e.g. broken WEP years ago, there are still options to mess with clients at ~Layer 1 but I dont believe its currently as trivial as it used to be.

most properly configured public wifi will enable client separation, of course that potentially still leaves lower level protocol and radio attacks.

…that wireless mac is looking suspiciously shopped and non-existent.

all important¹ parties to this slaughter are in perfect agreement with each other. all of this has been normal and within acceptable parameters.

Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də]; lliteral translation “harm-joy”) is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another conservatives white nationalists republicans.

latest renewable energy breakthrough: republican exploding heads.

…taking the total killed since protests began in July to at least 283.

Mobile internet was tightly restricted.

what a world. :-|

no hanging first? I like the cut of your jib!

great article, thank you.

My take from the article…?

confidence: believing that you are the best person for the job.

dominance: making everyone else believe that you are the best person for the job.

Israel’s health ministry said the samples “raise concerns about the presence of the virus in this region”. It added that Israeli health authorities were “monitoring and evaluating necessary steps to prevent the risk of disease in Israel”.

additional quotes might improve the sentiment of that paragraph, but I don’t think they were forthcoming from the Israeli health ministry.

its readily available on the net and its an excellent and fun way to contemplate many of the questions you have.

as, for example an elm or maple? a random mutation may have provided a small spur to a seed. the spur changed the trajectory of the falling seed and may have allowed it to fall further from the parent plant and into a more ideal growing environment or simply further afield, which would allow it to slightly out-complete others plants.

if this change proved sucessful over longer periods of time, then the mutation would likely get more pronounced as long as the mutation continued to improve the plants fitness for its environment. fast forward 100,000 years later and environment pressure combined with inheritability and mutation have given you seeds with glide wings.

technically correct

Don’t switch one senile old fuck out with another.

to be fair, Bernie has not lost a single step but, as a pragmatist, I think he would say his most effective position moving forward is in the senate.

surely its obvious by now - “bibi” just wants to solve the starving palestinian kid crisis with american bullets. gotta throw a tantrum so kind old uncle sam will feed more quarters into the genocide machine and keep those pesky Israeli elections at bay.

edit: from the article

US Representative Richie Torres (D-NY) wrote a message to Netanyahu on X, stating “If you are looking to undermine the bipartisanship of the US-Israel relationship, then release a public video attacking the Biden Administration, which, despite hysterical opposition from the far left, has held firm in support of Israel for eight months and counting.

hey, NY… you gonna do anything about this conflicted, homicidal piece of sh*t?

edit 2: regarding my comment on Torres - anyone unable to distinguish between hamas and an 8yo Palestinian kid is not fit for public office. and if they can, but choose violence on the kid, well f*ck them, “progressive” or not. when people show you who they are, believe them.

crack induced brain damage is rather frightening to watch in action. I hope he leaves the country immediately to get the help he needs.
