Also I do have to worry quite a bit, Didn’t both epstien, and one of his victims make very similar statements, before they supposedly killed themselves. Admitted I guess with more public visibility that MTG and Massie have when they did theirs, and the much increased attention of the public on the matter, it should be impossible to kill either of them without multiplying the public suspision by a factor of 100.
Usually, conspiracy theories feed on an absence of information, not a glut. But the Justice Department’s release of more than three million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images has done little to smother baseless speculation or fabrication.
Well duh… it’s still the absenses. It’s just the glut is highlighting what’s intentionally removed.
If I’m reporting a robbery of my convenience store. if I said I had no security camera footage of the event… that’s a little weird.
If I report a robbery, and I do have security footage, but there’s a mysterious black bar over the robbers face… you might think it’s an inside job.
I wish democrats had a spine and a sense of humor… I’d say “OK I’ll take the unfreeze and I promise to name the airport after you, put it in writing and we will do this deal”.
then announce the new “Trump is in the Epstein files” airport.
2 fronts I’d say.
Also would point out, low knowledge low effort crooks, really 9/10 situations there’s an easier way to get in than the lock. Your house is far more likely to be broken in by someone smashing a window rather than picking a lock.
and what isn’t… pretty sure in a Ross Ulbricht situation… there was more than enough stuff he needed to remain private currently open, and in the main files. Ulbright could have been on a live CD on a computer with no physical hard drive, and it wouldn’t have helped him since they nailed him after he had logged into the silk road.
and security on pages is useless if you are logged in.
We’re already talking the least of security problems (IE the device being physically confiscated).
In ross’s case which hurt him more do you think, the fact that his system probably had logs of what he installed… or the fact that it was taken while he was logged in as administrator to the silk road? and it supposedly contained a journal… not system logs, but activities that he specifically wrote out detailing his daily activities.
The point again is someone gaining physical access to the computer itself, while you are literally in the process of doing things that you don’t want known about, what you are currently working on is 100x more valuable to the thief, feds or whatever, than any of the low level stuff that the logs are likely to be recording.
am I missing something though, I’m assuming there’s like 18 democrats inn that committee so, what good does giving them the monopoly on questions on anything that matters.
You posted this same silly thing about 3 days ago.
anyway why isn’t the advice “encrypt your drives” instead of “disable all logging”.
I mean your own examples are like the least serious problem.
Who is logged in and when? So we’re talking a multi user system that’s clearly hosting a lot… that’s kind of important for an administrator to be able to track who is logging in when, to know if something goes wrong.
Package manager logs what’s installed. well duh, what’s the scenerio that this is even a factor? I don’t want big government to know I had, qbittorrent or whatever? There’s no program that’s likely installed via apt that’s illegal to have.
So yeah in short, stuff that’s vital if you ever need to troubleshoot, useful in general, almost unthinkable to imagine situations where this is a problem (at least in situations in which someone has your user account, or root access to your system for these to be the high priority.
On the whole the idea there is like.
“If someone steals your car… they could also steal the car users manual”.
don’t they actually have something like that in russia, like their top hockey team has to fake losing to putin like he’s a make a wish kid?

What’s the official rules on what they can share? Like could Ro Khanna do like a AMA where we give him page numbers… solid targetted list of
“OK so who messaged epstien about the littlest girl being very naughty”, who all were the co-conspirators listed on page X, etc…
Is that information considered classified he’d go to jail for it? I mean technically everythings supposed to have been released from the get go…
Because we honestly, we’ve seen more than enough to know heads need to roll, hell we can point to so many points in the files where we can see specific people that’s heads should be rolling where we just lack the names.
I think there’s a bit of that, but also a bit of… unsubtle enshittification. I mean the obvious, AI features that nobody likes getting crammed into everything. Apples Intelligence making siri unable to do simple tasks it used to be able to do easily.
A lot of people would be happy to pay premium price for things that do exactly what they want. But more and more software companies are reversing what they do… and even when they do what you want, you still have to be vigilant on them changing their minds and removing features, or adding subscription costs etc…
Well depends, I think some industries just are fake in general,
Chiropractors, stock traders that aren’t using insider information etc…
But otherwise I suppose it’s just how you are “faking it”. In IT the obvious joke is that we always just google everything. But at the end of the day that gets you better at knowing what to google, and over time you’ll memorize most of it. and it’s almost impossible not to start gradually learning the connections of how and why things work.
Well yeah who couldn’t think unpredictability is long term a huge problem, especially when it comes to “deal making” above all things. IE you start with the “we’ll give him what he asks for or he might attack us”, but 1. that encourages everyone to eventually co-operate to get the bully in check… also it wears thinner when you don’t respect deals you’ve already made. Your unpredictable enough and “give me $1 or I nuke your country”, simple request, but if your unpredictability is high enough… they’ve got no reason to think you won’t nuke them even if you give the dollar… hell actually more reason to think possibly the opposite, maybe your possesion of the dollar is the only reason he hasn’t nuked you already.
Yeah honestly I feel that’s the universal problem the world in general has.
What’s worse, our “vetted” sources have all been compromised. Mainstream news is corrupt as hell… all owned by a tiny portion of rich assholes. As trust in them wanes, the focus moves to the “independent” creators on youtube, and instagram influencers, podcastors etc…
Of which many of them are actually getting paid by the same billionares, as scandal after scandal shows, and of course rich monstrocities like Meta, Google, Musk… have the power to signal boost the ones they want to, and to minimize the growth of ones they don’t.
Just switch to physical pen and paper…
Wait, CRAP, did you know that a pysical notepad logs every pen stroke? not only on the paper it’s written, but it puts traces onto the next page as well.
Sure it’s not sending it to others… but if the police cease the notepad they can recover everything currently written in it, and possibly even some of the pages that were torn out from the indentations on the other pages.
Only if he stepped well outside what he was supposed to be doing, and looked at and/or had his goons look at a lot of classified information that they had neither the security clearance, nor the need to know to access.
So in short, yes.
Worse…
Look I can name 3 products that are cheaper today than they were in 2025… Didn’t you see that walmarts thanksgiving bundle was a few bucks less than before, and they only had to downsize everything, give half as much food, and replace name brands with store brands. Your just cherry picking by talking about the 90% of things that are more expensive, and how much your total grocery bill is. Also it’s all Biden’s fault inflation skyrocketed under him, and when I said I’d fix it on day 1, I meant day 1 of year 3.
Plus all that tarrif money is going to trickle down to you any minute now… we’re just racking in so much money from the tarrifs they don’t know what to do with it.
I mean I’m not going to disagree that a blanket all old must go all young must stay approach. Obviously trading Bernie Sanders for Rick Santorum would not be a good move.
That being said what does need to be dealt with is incumbancy bias as a whole. IE no matter how shitty they’ve been, the effect is over and over again keep the same guy regardless of how good or bad he is until he chooses to retire or drops dead.
The approach should be “replace the people who haven’t been looking out for their people”.
Basically yes, look up additive vs subtractive colors… that’s why for a monitor you need RGB, but ink cartrages are Cyan Magenta and Yellow

In short, colored light, and pigments work in opposite ways. Basically all visible light mixes together to make white light. Blue paint, basically absorbs the red and green light, allowing only the blue to bounce back… so mixing more colors of paint, means less light. until almost nothing gets out (hence black). But on a light source, more colors = more light, leading towards white.
