  two immediate constraints come to mind:

  • Bodies. While possible, disposing of that many bodies without anyone noticing will be really hard.

  They’re already using military cargo planes for “deportation” flights. Maybe some don’t have any live passengers, and they just dump the bodies mid-ocean. No need for mass graves, just load cargo containers onto a cargo plane and off it goes. If it lands with one or two fewer than it started with, that’s just a paperwork issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No magnesium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  However, zero milligrams is still a valid response to the doctor’s statement as they have 0mg of Mg, and an amuzing twist on OMG in the same way as 0Mg would be. Therefore the joke still works, even after we’ve examined it in detail.

  I talk to plants at parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Passwords, usernames and access keys are all important, but what about technical knowledge? If you’re the one hosting all of that, it’s presumably because you’re the most knowledgeable about that in your group. Without you, even if they have access, will they know how to keep things running, especially when things go wrong?

  That would be my first thought too. Pointing to the wrong discord server (rant: Please, please, DO NOT use discord for technical support, the search is lousy, it’s impossible to track single issues, especially over multiple days, and it’s too busy to monitor regularly. Use a ticketing system, or a forum. /rant) and claiming to have sent hardware all sounds like they’ve not done adaquate due diligence and think they’re working with bazzite, but are actually talking to scammers impersonating them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨major dick bong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you refering to the Ping Pong tournament that he ran in the Quảng Ninh province of Vietnam? I heard that, after the tournament had finished, he thought it would be nice, in the spirit of friendship, if each team sang the national anthem of another. Well, needless to say, this caused a bit of tension, and many lyrics were, accidentally or not, mangled. This lead to tempers flaring, quite a bit of shouting, and, I’m sorry to say, the tension spilled over and a fight broke out between the US and Vietnamese teams.

  The incident was later refered to as the Dick Bong Hạ Long Ping Pong Sing Song Ding Dong.

  You can buy repair kits to fix those little bullseye chips from getting hit by rocks. They basically force a clear resin in, binding it together and making it clear again. It’s worth keeping one around just in case.

  Most of them are multi billionaires, their children will inherit their estates when they pass, and most have more than one child. Which means that, when they do pass, we’ll actually have more billionaires than we do now.

  The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird

  I was initially of the same opinion, but actually, which of those would you be most offended to be called? I wonder if that’s the scale they’re using?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely only showing autocomplete for commonly used works, or maybe words that are statistically likely to be next, otherwise the list would be enourmous. There is a setting to not show offensive words, disabling that make is show pedophile as an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best trategie to refresh ssh keys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The general process would look something like:

  1. Find all of the SSH keys you want to replace.
  2. For each of thise keys, identify everywhere you use it to authenticate, and write this down! This list will form the basis of the rest of the plan. Make sure you list all of the accounts/servers you log in to, and don’t forget things like github or other external systems if you use them.

  You’ll need to perform the following steps for each SSH key you are replacing:

  1. Rename the public and private keys to something like old_id_rsa and old_id_rsa.pub (obviously use the same type name as your key, just prefix old_)
  2. In your ~/.ssh/config, add a line telling SSH to use the old key as well as the new ones: IdentityFile ~/.ssh/old_id_rsa (change the key filename as aporopriate)
  3. Check you can still log in to the servers you could log in to before. It should still be using the old key, just with a different filename, so it should still work.
  4. Generate your new SSH keys ssh-keygen -t ed25519
  5. Log in to each server and ADD the new ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub key to the authorized_keys file or equivalent mechanism. Do not remove the old public key yet.
  6. Remove the IdentityFile line from your ~/.ssh/config
  7. Check you can log in to all your systems. This will validate that your new key is working.
  8. Remove your old public key from the authorized_keys file on each server you log in to.

  Depending on your threat model you’re going to want to do this more or less often, and so you may want to consider automating it with sonething like ansible if it’ll be a regular job.

  The best documents would be birth certificates for each generation, but there was a massive fire at the Dublin records office in 1922, which destroyed a lot of genological records from before then. If you have any information about where in Ireland your great grandparents were from, you may be able to find local records however. Things like parish registers and birth records for sone denominations were stored outside Dublin, so you may be able to find them, although it’ll probably mean going there, or hireing to go there, as most of those records haven’t been digitised.

  I did notice your username, so I suspected this might not apply to you, but maybe it’ll be helpful to someone.

  All I can really offer you is ‘good luck, hang in there and this too shall pass’, which is probably not a lot of comfort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everyone will be able to move, it’s true, but a lot of countries have provisions for reclaiming citizenship if you can show that an ancestor (usually only in the last couple of generations, but not always) was a citizen.

  For instance, Ireland: if one of your parents was an Irish citizen, born on the island of Ireland, you can claim citizenship and a passport with minimal paperwork. If your parents weren’t born there, but a grandparent was, there’s more paperwork involved, but you can still get citizenship and a passport.

  Once you have a passport for an EU country, you have a lot more freedom to travel, and settle, anywhere in the EU.

  Many other countries have similar systems, so, if you do want to leave, it can be worth studying your family tree to see if there are any recent immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you mean this in jest, but I’m now envisioning hoards of driverless cars roaming around joylessly hunting down artificial ‘pokemon’ to add to their owner’s collection, whilst the owners sit at home listlessly doom scrolling, waiting for their cars to return, so they can see what ‘they’ caught.

  I don’t like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is definitely a good way to go; not only does it decouple the AI generated assets from the game, but in doing so lets you get a picture of how important they are to your players. It might be that everyone grabs the DLC despite it being AI generated, or it might be that a large chunk avoid it because of that. That would be useful information for your next game.
