no worries, actually not that interested in the movie. just thought it would be funny to have a movie downloaded from twitter - before its release date.

but i am sure there are many torrents already.

literally got DMCAd while i was downloading 😂

for me and you, that is probably enough.

but you always need to know who or what is a potential threat to you. in the end it is just about making it enough of a pain for whoever might be interested in your data, so it is not worthwhile to them. having to break out forensic tools - just to get encrypted data, is probably painful enough for most. make them play puzzles with metal and glass shards will for sure open some wounds to pour salt on.

cremating disks is a thing for hacker collectives. termite is an extremely interesting thing to observe. but i am pretty sure there are more practical reasons, why people do that.

what would be your way of disposing that sensitive data?

not arguing that there are disks beind disposed inproperly.

i used to work for a company with sensitive data. disks that did get a certificate, where wiped by our guys first. then a truck from the recycling/destruction company would arrive and disks get shredded 1 at a time. the whole setup was in a way, that you could observe the disks being torn into pieces, somewhat bigger than sawdust.

two of our IT guys, two of the guys doing the destroying and some C-Suit would have to sign for every disk they observed being torn to pieces. if you do want to make sure your data is gone, there are ways to do it. admittedly, this way is a bit of a stunt. but it was fun being paid for observing bits of metal being reduced to pieces.

many years ago there where bio reactors using algae to trap CO2 and later process those algae into fuel. does anybody know what happened to them?

just off my gut feeling, these should be more efficient. the algae does a big part of the steps basically for free. additionally, a chemical process to transform things sounds less energy costly, than smashing building blocks together yourself…

I have to write so much boilerplate code to make sure my objects are of the correct type and have the required attributes!

That is the trap that, sadly, my company fell for too. The POC was written in python. very fast i might add. but it was only that: a POC. if the whole backend crashes due to unexpected user input - noone cared. if the frontend displayed gibberish because the JSON made wrong assumptions about not defined data types - sweep it under the rug, don’t do that during presentations.

but if it came to building a resilient system, which can be shipped to customers and preferably maintained by them (with minimal consulting contract for access to our guys)… we cursed the way python worked.

register is way too lenient with those lawmakers. at least link to eff.org, e.g: their resource hub about age verification. there is a whole section about how banning VPNs won’t work and is a stupid idea.

What is that strategy called? reverse switch-and-bait?

sometimes you don’t have to (or can’t) have a full plan A-Z. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere - usually with gathering ppl. euromaidan is a great example of that.

but yes, louis could have put more concrete plans in his first video. as he has them. on the other hand he probably throws many things and sees what sticks. i guess that is what you have to do, if you try to change legislation against corpos with much more everything than you.

we can argue about the choice of symbol until the world ends. the symbol is just a thing people can recognise and rally around.

the first step of any movement is to gather people. then do something. so yes, changing a picture is lazy, but it is a virtual rally point. he talks about next steps in another video: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/you-changed-your-profile-to-clippy-now:6

lazy copy of my comment in another thread:

here, the video which started all: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/change-your-profile-picture-to-clippy.:e
