We are going at 560,000 miles an hour trough the unrelenting darkness of space, and just decided to destroy our life support system.

12·28 days agoI am running BTRFS on multiple PCs and Laptops since about 8-10 years ago, and i had 2 incidents:
- Cheap SSD: BTRFS reported errors, half a year later the SSD failed and never worked again.
- Unstable RAM: BTRFS reported errors, i did a memtest and found RAM was unstable.
I am using BTRFS RAID0 since about 6 years. Even there, i had 0 issues. In all those years BTRFS snapshoting has saved me countless hours when i accidentially misconfigured a program or did a accidential rm -r ~/xyz.
For me the real risk in BTRFS comes from snapper, which takes snapshots even when the disk is almost full. This has resulted in multiple systems not booting because there was no space left. That’s why i prefer Timeshift for anything but my main PC.
Life is a cycle. I am suffering today so i can afford to suffer tomorrow. Makes sense.
Life is only worth living if you are a masochist.
Nothing will change as long as we are piloting decaying, constantly hurting meat-bags trough a world of artificially created horrors like war, hunger, poverty and natural horrors like disease, aging and drought.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed by life, lay down on your bed, close your eyes, and listen to this.
Here some info about how much and what kind of user data is being sold (GPS position,…), and the legality of it all.
1·28 days agoShould they live in the shame and horror of this person that they probably attempted to curb at some point.
No. Those relatives that have not enabled or supported a monsters actions are of course completely innocent.
And if they want, they can of course mourn the loss of the ability to ever have a nice conversation with that person again.
But a burial is not like mourning in your bed, crying yourself to sleep. There you can accept that you are sad about the loss, even tough the world is a better place without that person.A bureal however is a public performance that, as you say, is for the living. Not for the dead. It is not useful for mourning, but a ritual to pay the last respects to the deceased person. Not only for their good side, but also for their evil side. And the bigger the burial, the greater the (implied) respect. This holds true in any western/materialistic society, and was practiced in ancient times, where pyramids were built to honor kings, and a bigger pyramid implied a better king.
Therefore holding a large burial for a horrific person signals to the living that you not only miss that person as a friend, but also support their actions and choices in life.
Ideally: No.
But i live in a materialistic society where status is expressed trough expensive houses/cars/brands and products.
If you buy a expensive gift (for a living person), you show to them that you are willing to go to great lengths to make them happy.This is the societal norm in (probably) all western countries. And therefore, making a extravagant bureal for a horrific person implies approval for them and their actions.
So if you are not a materialistic person you can give a small burial to a person without disrespecting them, but there will definitely be some people that will then assume that you did not like that person. They will simply assume it without proof, as it is a custom, unless they know that you are a anti-materialistic person.
A burial is a ceremony where the living show their respect to the deceased. The larger/more extravagant the bureal, the greater the (financial) sacrifice, the greater the respect for the person and their actions.
Everyone who thinks Hitler should have received a state burial (whether by the allies or by his supprters) is definitely a nazi.
Tipps to prevent future accidents:
- Set up BTRFS snapshots with Timeshift or Snapper. Switching to BTRFS is worth it for snapshots alone.
- Do regular backups on a device that can not be reached by rm: vorta local on external hdd that you connect once a week OR vorta/borg2 to a NAS/Server that does BTRFS snapshots itself OR Nextcloud to sync to a server that has a trashbin OR git to a server. Just remember that Nextcloud and git are unencrypted, so the server has to be secure and trustworthy. Vorta and borg2 can be set up with encryption.
Mistakes are unpreventable due to our error-prone brains, but it is a choice to repeat them.
Only those that understand a problem even have a chance to solve it. Those who refuse to understand a problem (often for comfort) are not helpful at best, but usually actively harmful.
The problem of suffering runs far deeper than “Rich vs Poor”. We are all trapped inside constantly decaying bodies that are barely capable of survival. This constant decay leads to almost constant pain even billionaires can not avoid. And then there is our anxious brain worrying about all sorts of things that might or might not happen. Yes, all of this is more bearable inside a villa than inside a tent, but it is still abhorrent. This does not mean the “Rich vs Poor” struggle is not worth while. It is, because there is tremendous preventable suffering within this struggle. This struggle, however, is just a tiny fraction of the problem that is called the human condition.
To those who seek to understand the problem of suffering, i can recommend this video. It eases you into the horror of being alive.
13·2 months agoDie Rister-Rente war eine Masche, bei der die Menschen mit der Hilfe des Staats (Boni + Steuererleichterungen) zu Produkten gelockt wurden, von welchen die Banken durch hohe Gebühren profitieren. Und als die Menschen das gemerkt haben wollten sie raus. Nur leider steht im Vertrag dass man ohne massive Verluste nicht aus dem Vertrag kommt. Warum wohl?
Ich vermute stark dass das Altersvorsorgedepot der gleiche Wein in neuen Schläuchen ist. Warum denke ich das? Weil man da auch nicht einfach aus dem Vertrag raus kommt wenn man merkt dass man einen Fehler gemacht hat (zumindest steht im Artikel dass man 65 sein muss um rauszukommen).
Aber natürlich wird man wie bei Rister mit großen staatlichen Zuschüssen gelockt, damit die FOMO die Zweifel ausschaltet.Wenn es die Regierung ernst gemeint hätte, hätten sie erlaubt dass man wieder aussteigt. Dann müsste man halt die Boni zurückzahlen. Außerdem würde man nicht auf die Privatwirtschaft setzen, da normale Menschen keine Finanzexperten sind, und wenn man meiner Oma einen Brief schickt dass sie 20% staatliche Förderung bekommt, wenn sie in den überteuerten Knebelvertrag von Bank X einsteigt, dann macht sie das.
Noch besser wäre gewesen dass man in seiner Steuererlärung angeben kann wie viel man für die Altersvorsorge privat angespart hat. Dann erhällt man staatliche Boni, aber darf das Geld und die Gewinne nie wieder für Konsum nutzen, sonst muss man die Boni zurückzahlen. Idealerweise stellt man dann noch einen Staats-ETF bereit, den man dann bewirbt wenn der Staat einem die Boni auszahlt, sodass es Banken mit hohen Gebühren zumindest schwerer haben. Jaja man wird ja wohl noch träumen dürfen.
Ich kann nur allen empfehlen: Investiert in nichts wo ihr eure Fehler nicht wieder korigieren könnt. Egal wie verlockend es klingt. Jeder macht Fehler, aber nur wenn man den Fehler nicht mehr korrigieren kann wird er zur Katastrophe.
Extracting the keys locked to an TPM is supposed to be impossible, so you do not need to worry about somebody stealing your keys.
34·2 months agoIf you are having sensitive information stored using closed-source software/OS, you can stop reading right here. This is your biggest vulnerability and the best thing you can do is to switch to FOSS.
For those that have already switched:
It made me think about how to improve the resistance of large FOSS projects against state-sponsored attackers injecting backdoors.The best thing i came up with would be to have each contribution checked by a contributor of a rival state. So a Russian (or Chinese) contributor verifies a contribution by an American.
The verifying contributors would have to be chosen at random in a way that is not predeterminable by an attacker, otherwise a Chinese-state contributor will contribute harmless code until the next verifier will be a US-based Chinese spy. Then they will submit a backdoor and have it checked by an American citizen paid by China.
Also the random number generator has to be verifiable by outsiders, otherwise a spy in the Linux-Foundation can manipulate the outcome of choosing a favorable verifier for a backdoor.This can obviously only be done as long as there are lots of contributors from rivaling states. If the US decided that Linux can only allow contributors from USA/EU, then this model can not work and Linux would have to relocate into a more favorable state like Switzerland.
What one should keep in mind that even if the US would ban all foreign contributions and the foundation would not relocate, Linux would still be more secure than any closed source OS, as those foreigners can still look at the code and blow the whistle on bugs/backdoors. It would however be much more insecure than it is now, as the overhead for finding bugs/backdoors would be much larger.
Es gäbe auch Lösungen für den demographischen Wandel, jedoch sind die teuer oder demokratisch fragwürdig. Ein staatliches Fortpflanzungsprogramm könnte man machen, wenn man wollte. Schon in der Schule die Kinder dazu erziehen, dass Kinder bekommen das höchste Ziel im Leben ist.

64·3 months agoIf the fertility rate remains below 2, it will become harder and harder to wage war. And if it femains below 2 long enough there will be nobody left to wage war (or die in it).
So please sacrifice your precious time, health and money for your future children. Do it for the love of war!
40·6 months ago- Far left / Pirates: Always vote for privacy.
- Greens: Almost always vote for privacy.
- Center Left: Often vote for privacy.
- Center Right/Right: Always vote against privacy.
- Far Right: Vote against privacy or usually just abstain from voting on important decisions.
Just as always with the right: Nothing but lies.
100% Zustimmung von meiner Seite.
Ich hatte Englisch und Spanisch (immernoch 1000x nützlicher als Latein).
Englisch kann ich besser denn je, vorallem wegen YouTube und der EU/USA orientierten Seite des Internets. Hat sich definitiv sehr gelohnt mir das beizubringen.
Spanisch? Nun, ich hab glaub ich seither mal einen Film gesehen den es nur in Spanisch gab. Fast nichts verstanden, dann einfach deutsche Untertitel angemacht.
Grindsätzlich denke ich schon dass es sinnvoll ist eine Sprache zu sprechen die weit verbreitet ist, aber eine 2. zusätzlich, auch wenn sie so verbreitet ist wie Spanisch bringt fast nichts.
Und wenn man dann den gigantischen Zeitaufwand bedenkt, gibt es einfach keinen Sinn (außer um die Kinder zu quälen).
Da wäre es 10000x sinnvoller den Kindern Empathie, humanistische Ethik und logisches Denken bei zu bringen (Boolsche logik + Venn Diagramme + logische Schlüsse), damit sie (vielleicht) keine menschenfeindlichen Parteien wählen. Und das alles zusammen würde weniger Zeit brauchen als Spanisch.
