When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to Chinese companies, then it's backdoored.

When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to American companies, it's bulletproof.

Just open your "secure" "American" router and look where they are made and flashed. I bet it's not USA.

We are going at 560,000 miles an hour trough the unrelenting darkness of space, and just decided to destroy our life support system.

I am running BTRFS on multiple PCs and Laptops since about 8-10 years ago, and i had 2 incidents:

1. Cheap SSD: BTRFS reported errors, half a year later the SSD failed and never worked again.
2. Unstable RAM: BTRFS reported errors, i did a memtest and found RAM was unstable.

I am using BTRFS RAID0 since about 6 years. Even there, i had 0 issues. In all those years BTRFS snapshoting has saved me countless hours when i accidentially misconfigured a program or did a accidential rm -r ~/xyz.

For me the real risk in BTRFS comes from snapper, which takes snapshots even when the disk is almost full. This has resulted in multiple systems not booting because there was no space left. That's why i prefer Timeshift for anything but my main PC.

Life is a cycle. I am suffering today so i can afford to suffer tomorrow. Makes sense.

Life is only worth living if you are a masochist.

Nothing will change as long as we are piloting decaying, constantly hurting meat-bags trough a world of artificially created horrors like war, hunger, poverty and natural horrors like disease, aging and drought.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed by life, lay down on your bed, close your eyes, and listen to this.

Here some info about how much and what kind of user data is being sold (GPS position,...), and the legality of it all.

A burial is a ceremony where the living show their respect to the deceased. The larger/more extravagant the bureal, the greater the (financial) sacrifice, the greater the respect for the person and their actions.

Everyone who thinks Hitler should have received a state burial (whether by the allies or by his supprters) is definitely a nazi.

Tipps to prevent future accidents:

• Set up BTRFS snapshots with Timeshift or Snapper. Switching to BTRFS is worth it for snapshots alone.
• Do regular backups on a device that can not be reached by rm: vorta local on external hdd that you connect once a week OR vorta/borg2 to a NAS/Server that does BTRFS snapshots itself OR Nextcloud to sync to a server that has a trashbin OR git to a server. Just remember that Nextcloud and git are unencrypted, so the server has to be secure and trustworthy. Vorta and borg2 can be set up with encryption.

Mistakes are unpreventable due to our error-prone brains, but it is a choice to repeat them.

Only those that understand a problem even have a chance to solve it. Those who refuse to understand a problem (often for comfort) are not helpful at best, but usually actively harmful.

The problem of suffering runs far deeper than "Rich vs Poor". We are all trapped inside constantly decaying bodies that are barely capable of survival. This constant decay leads to almost constant pain even billionaires can not avoid. And then there is our anxious brain worrying about all sorts of things that might or might not happen. Yes, all of this is more bearable inside a villa than inside a tent, but it is still abhorrent. This does not mean the "Rich vs Poor" struggle is not worth while. It is, because there is tremendous preventable suffering within this struggle. This struggle, however, is just a tiny fraction of the problem that is called the human condition.

To those who seek to understand the problem of suffering, i can recommend this video. It eases you into the horror of being alive.

Die Rister-Rente war eine Masche, bei der die Menschen mit der Hilfe des Staats (Boni + Steuererleichterungen) zu Produkten gelockt wurden, von welchen die Banken durch hohe Gebühren profitieren. Und als die Menschen das gemerkt haben wollten sie raus. Nur leider steht im Vertrag dass man ohne massive Verluste nicht aus dem Vertrag kommt. Warum wohl?

Ich vermute stark dass das Altersvorsorgedepot der gleiche Wein in neuen Schläuchen ist. Warum denke ich das? Weil man da auch nicht einfach aus dem Vertrag raus kommt wenn man merkt dass man einen Fehler gemacht hat (zumindest steht im Artikel dass man 65 sein muss um rauszukommen).
Aber natürlich wird man wie bei Rister mit großen staatlichen Zuschüssen gelockt, damit die FOMO die Zweifel ausschaltet.

Wenn es die Regierung ernst gemeint hätte, hätten sie erlaubt dass man wieder aussteigt. Dann müsste man halt die Boni zurückzahlen. Außerdem würde man nicht auf die Privatwirtschaft setzen, da normale Menschen keine Finanzexperten sind, und wenn man meiner Oma einen Brief schickt dass sie 20% staatliche Förderung bekommt, wenn sie in den überteuerten Knebelvertrag von Bank X einsteigt, dann macht sie das.

Noch besser wäre gewesen dass man in seiner Steuererlärung angeben kann wie viel man für die Altersvorsorge privat angespart hat. Dann erhällt man staatliche Boni, aber darf das Geld und die Gewinne nie wieder für Konsum nutzen, sonst muss man die Boni zurückzahlen. Idealerweise stellt man dann noch einen Staats-ETF bereit, den man dann bewirbt wenn der Staat einem die Boni auszahlt, sodass es Banken mit hohen Gebühren zumindest schwerer haben. Jaja man wird ja wohl noch träumen dürfen.

Ich kann nur allen empfehlen: Investiert in nichts wo ihr eure Fehler nicht wieder korigieren könnt. Egal wie verlockend es klingt. Jeder macht Fehler, aber nur wenn man den Fehler nicht mehr korrigieren kann wird er zur Katastrophe.

Extracting the keys locked to an TPM is supposed to be impossible, so you do not need to worry about somebody stealing your keys.

If the fertility rate remains below 2, it will become harder and harder to wage war. And if it femains below 2 long enough there will be nobody left to wage war (or die in it).

So please sacrifice your precious time, health and money for your future children. Do it for the love of war!
