Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every 'cloud' with 'butt' even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Not sure if shadowbanning can work here. Wasting each instance's limited pool of resources is not what we want to encourage.

Problem is how to read the disk, especially after generations. Will they retain the knowledge to build and operate a device for this?

Many films and tv programs survive only thanks to a total stranger keeping their own copy. For a long term survival of any media it has to be copied and distributed far and wide.

No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

Mongolia being landlocked sandwiched between China and Russia sealed its destiny to these two. If they had another neighboring country willing to counter them sharing a land border...

It sounds like a name deliberately chosen by the author writing whatever techno-political thriller novel they're working on.

I have been doing precisely that. You have your personal number and the secondary number that doesn't have to be attached to your name if you want. Ofc law enforcement and telecom companies will be able to trace you based on cell tower locations and phone model.

Pro: An extra disposable number to give out whenever people ask you for "we need your phone number for ShittyDiscount". Whenever the spam calls get annoying I simply pop it out and place another prepaid sim.

Con: Phones with dual sim support can be rarer to find and be more expensive depending on your country.

Kudos for self-hosting fediverse stuff, man.

I make 1 single partition for the entire drive and encrypt it with veracrypt. Veracrypt has portable executables for windows and if I lose the flash drive in the worst case people will think it's a corrupted disk (unrecognized partition) and reformat them probably.

Unless it's all local I'm staying out of this AI craze.
