  • Ehh, lying is a wide thing with different motivations. Gaslighting is a malicious type of lying that is designed to undermine the victims sense of reality, their sense of self. It’s meant to increase dependency on the liar.

    Its normally used to describe abusive romantic relationships, but it’s not that specific. It can apply to jobs, families, and yes, government.

    Vance is 100% gaslighting the American public. He’s twisting what happened in a torturous way to make people afraid of trusting themselves and their lying eyes. Hes casting himself and Trump as the only people that “tell the truth” by lying. That’s gaslighting.





  • Yup. I read it as “compose and manage containers with systemd.”

    Sure, there is a k8s layer abstracted into podman to do this, but you don’t manage or interact with it. Everything is a systemd unit file, a simple text document with a well understood structure. Containers are started and logged like services.

    Easy, direct, tidy.




  • They initially said that the had 4 discs, and one “corrupted,” which just so happened to lose the most important 2 hrs out of the 40. Any raid except 0 would survive a loss of one disc, and 0 would lose all data, not just 5% of it. This sounds more like a JBOD config than RAID, which would be very stupid setup for data retention.

    The oversight committee found that the “corruption” excuse was a lie, and instead that the person who “complied” with the requirement to hand over video opted to not download the most important 2hrs that would prove definitely either way if she was drugged and raped.

    After being stonewalled and lied to by the precient for 2.5 years, she went to the press and suddenly the oversight committee started to do its job. After all the time that has passed, the data has likely been overwritten normally for too long to recover it.

    The cops got exactly what they wanted. Some of them drugged and raped her, then the others covered it up by intentionally failing to do their jobs, lying about it over and over again for years, and letting time take its course. The oversight committee helped out by ignoring her complaint until the government and press forced it to act, and now is slow rolling the investigation to make sure that nothing happens to the rapist cops and their enablers.

    As always, even in the UK, ACAB.


  • The oversight body, that acts outside the rapist precinct, says it cannot produce the 2 hours of video in question, even after sending drives off to forensics teams and scouring backups. They also have not provided answers as to why these specific 2 x 1 hour video blocks out of 40hrs, where the victim has clearly been recently drugged and was most likely raped, were not downloaded with the rest of the videos. They have also not given the victim any information about who opted not to download these videos, or who claimed they were “corrupted” initially.

    They may have records, as they can clearly see that the videos in question were specifically excluded from from disclosure by the cops, but they won’t tell the victim who opted to let those very important hours be overwritten.

    She has been trying to get justice for 43 months. The oversight commitee finally took the case on 13 months ago when she released her story to the press. They were aware of a complaint she filed in 2022, but took no action, claiming her latest complaint, I.E press coverage, “brought new issues to light.”

    She still doesn’t have answers.








  • The difficulty of keeping something working scales exponentially as its complexity grows. Something of 1x complexity take 1y effort, but 2x complex is 10y effort, 3x complex is 100y, on and on.

    Phones/computers/apps are at hilarious levels of complex now, and even 100k people running flat out can barely maintain the illusion that they “just work.” Add enshittification heaping its intentionally garbage experience onto the unintentional garbage experience that is modern computing, and it’s just gotten stupid.
