There is nothing to refurbish in drives. They are just second hand devices. You can check if they are fine pretty easy and you need to take a look at the age (power on hours). I replace drives at 50k-60k hours, no matter if they are fine.

Exactly. I’m still missing the comical “or else…”.

I’m pretty much since the beginning on Matrix. I have never experienced any questionable content. Large chats (thousands of users) have some spam problems, but the spammers banned quickly and the posts are being removed.

What am I doing right?

If you break trains programmatically (by software) you’re an industrial saboteur.

That’s much worse than to hack them to work again.

There is discoveribility, but no one uses it. It’s called Web of Trust (by PGP).

And they are waging direct war on us too, if we considered coordinated attacks on our IT infrastructure and political misinformation campaigns an act of war, like it should be.

Most of these observations are subjective. I’ve had some Seagate drives that worked well but were very hot and wasted energy. On the other hand WD was crap so far, starting with 3 TB. Not because of quality, but because of power saving features that were a major annoyance to me (green and some blue drives). Red drives I had were mostly fine, even they wore out pretty quickly (Load_Cycle_Count bugs). They ran at 0% health left for a few years and had other awful SMART and on-drive controller bugs.

Since Seagate and WD are essentially the same company and they lied about SMR before, I wouldn’t buy either of them.

We have multiple proofs that if you’re mixing politics with religion the country becomes utter shithole. But yeah, thanks!

I’ve seen someone using Adobe Acrobat just for splitting PDF documents.

Was this COVID making everyone dumb around the world? Or do aliens invade us soon after they have used the stupidity beam long enough?

I think no one really pays attention to fictional age in anime. People tend to enjoy the show.

Are you looking for something like cached credentials?

touch 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32'

Is this really important for men? Most men tend to be more talented when there is value connected to it. For example in business (colleagues) or group interest, like sports and close/true friendships.

And men seem to cope better with enemies. It’s been studied.

Read above please. You cannot import GPL code into BSD licensed code without restricting the code distribution. In the other direction, you can do it and just add a notice about the license. It does not add restrictions to the distribution. Otherwise Linux distributions wouldn’t even have OpenSSH in base install images.

Of other software, yes. For example Linux distributions can use the BSD or MIT licensed code without any problems.

But it does not allow to remove the license from the software.

On the other hand GPL code cannot be imported into BSD code without introducing restrictions.

If you think about how many people use proprietary Android by Google, it is exactly comparable.

Comparing numbers is pointless here. Fact is that GPL has more conditions when you’re allowed to use and modify the code. More conditions means more restrictions. And this means, less freedom.

At the moment large companies sponsor the development, without being forced to do so. And they allow developers to spend time on the project for free.

The foundation also makes sure that devs sign an agreement otherwise the code is not accepted.

So where is this all proprietary?

So it’s an argument against restrictive licenses? The more freedom the better? I mean Unix in this case had a too restrictive license?

Hi. Nobody here. Do you know that if you own a PS5 or Nintendo Switch, you’re a FreeBSD user?

Maybe we’ve got a different idea what it means to be a user.
