Yeah. Same energy as ‘why are you making me hit you?’

The ship was waiting to surrender to Sri Lanka I think. There was another one that had priority that did surrender while the one that was hit was next in line.

That’s the sad reality right now though. To reach the crazies you need people who can get to them. The way things are, they see every outside criticism as invalid and unimportant. You need someone who can cut across that.

They couldn’t be even bothered to do the decent thing at this point and train and arm the rebels! /s

Tiber and Xinjiag too

It’s kind of funny how Adam Smith saw the need for moral philosophy to constrain greed in the economics of capitalism yet for most modern capitalists, capitalism is their moral philosophy 🤣

I would push back and say that he’s trying to implement the mandate he got elected on using the levers he has. In an ideal system the legislature should set the boundaries but that isn’t the US right now.

Thank you! I’ll try this out. I’ve been mostly using it while playing around with new things rather than to expand scaffolding on existing stuff.

However what I find frustrating is that it so confidently gives you garbage sometimes. I was trying to configure some stuff in docker that needed a very extensive yaml config. It confidently gave me flags and keys to accomplish what I wanted that looked logical and fit in with rest of the style but simply did not exist.

I’ve found it okay to get a general feel for stuff but I’ve been given insidiously bad code. Functions and data structures that look similar enough to real stuff but are deeply wrong or non+existent.

I was hoping that testdisk would show you something funky going on with the partition table based on the parted error. No luck I guess.

My next two ideas are,

1. As far as I know wipefs just tries to wipe what blkid sees and it might have screwed up something. What if we just dd the whole drive with zeros and let your enclosure take it from there?
2. What does smartctl say? Might be worth it to run the long and short tests to make sure that the drives themselves are okay.

Total shot in the dark but what does testdisk say?
