we’re in the “what if they didn’t” timeline…

anything ‘worthwhile’ is probably gonna use a lot of power, burn through bandwidth, or not exactly completely legit and legal.

to monetize the piracy of your users

that’s generally what gets sites and services in ‘trouble’

okra is totally underrated.

that’s one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.

one moron musta heard the word in a movie or something, and then it spread like stupid.

don’t forget the peas and tuna.

even the userscript i had for this, which used a fallback proxy if needed, hasn’t worked in awhile.

if you don’t mind the login requirement and the target video isn’t drm-‘protected’, you might be able to pass the login credentials or browser cookies–whatever’s needed, to yt-dlp and download the video for later viewing in the media player of your choosing.

use the free antivirus (e.g. measles and chicken pox ‘parties’) instead.

to infinity and beyond.

i just woke up, too. the time was 1745067101

thought i missed the klingon…

went back…

ohhhhhhhhh…

shouldn’t need to worry about a windows product key if 10 or 11 was previously activated on the system and no significant changes were made to its internal hardware (like motherboard or nic). activation servers retain activation state and hardware hash, and that state is restored on reinstall. just choose ‘i don’t have a key’ when prompted during install and when windows is back it will automagically reactivate itself.

perhaps it only ‘always’ seems to be that way because you haven’t yet done so…

complete the task so you can change tunes to…

“why tf didn’t i do this sooner?”

the jewish population in the united states is larger than in israel itself. of course the u.s. is going to support them.

the u.s. does not have to go as far as it does wrt military aid, however.

i don’t change the power levels, but i have a couple routers (one at home, one at the office) that i’ve disconnected the (external) antennas to reduce their reach. they’re only needed occasionally, and only in the rooms they’re located in. the signal that’s left is enough.

our ‘price for life’ plan was killed by the telephone company with increases each of the last several months. we’re now at $190 for a basic landline (needed) and pretty slow dsl; nearly double the cost from six months ago. welcome to small town america.

you aren’t losing, either.

drivesavers, gillware, and ontrack. those are the ones i refer people to. expect a cost of $700-1000 or higher.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they’ll do the ‘full’ data grab and ‘find’ what they were looking for.
