  • I still made the mistake, when I sleep deprived switched if and of somehow
    My then girlfriend wasn’t exactly happy, that all here photos and music, which we just moved off old CDs, that couldn’t be read correctly anymore, and I spent quite some time to finally move them

    Obviously the old CDs and the backup image were thrown out/deleted just a few days earlier, because I proudly had saved the bulk of it - and being poor students having loads of storage for multiple backups wasn’t in reach.
    Backing them up again to fresh CDs was on the plan, but I quickly needed a live USB stick to restore my work laptop…

    Since then I’m always anxious, when working with dd. Still years later I triple check and already think through my backup restoration plan
    Which is a good thing in itself, but my heart rate spikes can’t be healthy








  • Holy fuck is business insider unreadable - without blocking their shitty scroll-up popup thingy

    Currently I just switch to text mode/reader thing in Firefox

    But boah, is that thing nerve-wracking
    How could anyone think, that this bullshit would lead me to buy a subscription?

    Sorry for the off-topic rant, but that shit really hits a nerve
    Is my good old internet really gone to shit and the only way to get real information is through Gemini/Gopher?
    And while I’m on it: are there any search engines for that?
    I tried to build up some link lists/bookmarks for stuff I’m interested, but would be really cool to have a search engine for it - as there one existing I don’t know about, or do I use it wrong?






  • I bought a color laser printer (HP) and got a 3rd party toner, if I run out - because it’s a local company doing recycling and so on

    I’m now even a bit ashamed, because I can’t really support this local company, because I haven’t had the chance to even put their toner in, as the initial ones still work now after fucking 6 years. And we even had some time, when we tried printing some photos in high quality (and corresponding paper)

    Don’t know how long it will hold up, but as I’ve pretty much moved to a paperless office, this initial toner kit will probably survive longer than my company…




  • Thanks!

    I’m still naively optimistic somehow and think discussion is necessary.
    As long as the other part isn’t just a plain troll, I try to rip down illusional borders, because I think it’s important to understand the “other side”, because after all, we’re still in this shithole together.

    As said, this is a naive approach, which burns me up bit by bit, but I don’t see any other solution.
    Else we just gonna stay in our bubbles and then we wonder how so many people can be this idiotic.
    As long as we don’t understand the reasoning (if existing and not just some bullshit made up thing), we never gonna get back to consensus.

    But maybe you’re right in this case, and I just waste my time.
    In this case, thanks for your input!


  • Who demonizes children?
    China also pulled back from their 1-child policy and as far as I remember Russia never had something like that in place.

    And I think we’re globally already over the brink of sustainable humans.
    How should we be able to support all the newborn humans, if human population grows even more. Isn’t that bad for said children, if they can’t have enough…anything anymore?

    This obviously needs global solutions, as many societies would feel, that others are just overwhelming them, when they are producing more offspring.

    But what does this even have to do with abortion rights?
    If you have a condom accident and can’t afford to have a child, is it better to have the child live through worse conditions, than when planned?
    What about rape or medical, where the mother could die?

    This perspective seems quite narrow, but maybe I didn’t quite get your point.

    Edit: autocorrect and some beers…
