Rob Does Things

Nope. I shucked the drive from its original enclosure and put it into my known-good one. Drive is dead. RIP (You were a bastard)

Update: the USB to SATA controller in the enclosure (?)… died? I will hook it up to another system and see what’s up but I may have to schuck this drive and put it into another enclosure. Seagate quality. 👌

Life is really kicking my ass.

I blacklisted the uas module from the equation just to rule that out entirely. Now we wait.

This is likely a problem with Seagates choice of USB-to-SATA controller and the uas kernel driver and I would need to fall back to the usb-storage driver.

TLDR something to do with writes hitting a timeout and error handling.

If I could have a single day where a disk or file system issue doesn’t plague my life that would be great. This in particular is a dirty journal for an external drive using ext4 on Linux Mint. Machine is an iMac18,3.

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.

- know what they are losing when they don't have those things. "Fuck you, got mine" is the attitude that is taught, but any means necessary.

- to their own preconceived notions of what nuclear family safety and security is.

Not proving anything, but personal anecdotal experience: Those with many safety nets and familial support systems are often the ones who don't want others to have them. They often feel entitled because they -

The right heavily relies on tribalism. If you're "not in the tribe," you lose any and all support system. Not having anyone to rely on tends to radicalize people. When they then realize that if it came down to basic survival, they severely lack the resources to do so without making huge sacrifices -

I'd suspect this has more to do with grooming teenagers and young men to "craft them into men". It's more common than you would think. Some break out of it. Some can't because they lean heavily on their family and don't want to lose that support system.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

What’s the point of a global env file if each script is just going to hardcode it anyway? On the flip side, a picture of me trying to find a source a dependent env variable that’s not declared in said script. Hint: it’s not the global env file.

Dude, what the hell is WebLogic? Like, I’ve never seen and used a messier product than this. I can already think of 1,000 reasons not to use this but my client insists.

Ron Deibert is absolutely the voice that the infosec industry needs to be listening to right now. We are in a moment where fascism is consolidating power and most of the infosec industry is either playing along or is busy bragging about how much AI they've shoved into their products.

Wake up. It's 2007.
