posted this during a standoff with police

Everything else aside, the guy is in a stand-off against the police, and he decides to spend his last moments on Earth posting to Twitter? Of all the things he could be doing?

I would care much more if you ignited some ACTUAL fireworks on the floor of the state assembly

Thanks for explaining rat-salute-2

Good point, if it's just backups of things like ISOs and ROMs and movies, then it doesn't matter if the cloud provider reads it

How do you plan to host a Nextcloud? I tried researching how to set up a web server, but it's either self-hosting and putting up with only having a dynamic IP and whatever other restrictions your ISP got, or paying for some virtual machine on a server in some data center, so instead of trusting the cloud provider you now have to trust whoever you're renting the server from... Which probably isn't much better? Sorry, I don't know much about internet stuff :(

Yeah, I also got a big HDD (4TB, though it seems like it's slowly becoming not enough for all my backup stuff...), I do backups to it. Though the problem is that it's an external one that isn't always connected, so the backups must be done manually (connect HDD to computer and then run script), which means I end up not doing them even nearly as often as I should...
Also, the HDD is physically close to all the other computers, so if something happens to this room, then everything is lost...

I assume your big HDD is permanently connected to some computer and the copy happens over network? Do you trust the cloud storage enough to let them have your data?

Was my experience, too, looked up cost of tape drive, can't afford that. Not 2k, I have seen new ones for 1k, used ones for like 200, but I can't afford any of that. Perhaps some day, I will get lucky and find a very cheap one with decent capacities. It would be awesome to have backups on magnetic tape...

What do you use for backups?

Me after mailing tape backups to a vault in every country so my cat pics and ps2 iso's can survive ww3

You have backups on magnetic tape? Please educate me about magnetic tape for backups

For real, has anyone tried prompt injection on the hasbara bots (or any other psyop bots)? Is it effective?

That aside, it's funny (in a sad way) to see some unremarkable news TV man claim to be cool. They have multiple copies of this guy on any western news station. Being a news man on the TV is the least cool job that I can imagine.

(Except for Ri Chun Hee. Ri Chun Hee is awesome. I like listening to the news if she is the one who narrates them. No western news person can ever approach her greatness.)

It's "culturally uncool" to be a democrat

Good first step, now make it unsafe to be a democrat, the genocide enablers need to pay for their crimes

I have no idea at all what this is referencing, but the drawing of Elmo trying to show a guy something on the phone is so cute... Who is the guy? How is AOC related to any of this?
