make sure you get full disk encryption! I hear it's quite important, but I
can't use it because I'm an artist and if I like, died or whatever, nobody
would be able to get my art.
though knowing the reasons why I might suddenly die, odds are they'd just
reflash the drives with windows or whatever xD

if you don't know how long you're going to be gone, how do you know what to
bring? like, is it a "grab the hard drives" kind of trip, or is it more like
"we'll return in the spring"?
who can say, depends on who's driving.

sometimes I think performing my art was just an excuse to use Linux. At least,
some of my art.
But hey, I'm not complaining, it's awesome.

the fact that linux software by default shares libraries causes 90% of the
difficulty that new and medium skill users of linux face.
disk space is cheap. spend more on hard drives and double the software size.
make redundancy that prevents software failures but doesn't slow down the
machine.

Right. How can you trust that any drive produced in the last 10 years (aka any
drive with a reasonable amount of storage space for sharing things like
LaserDisk rips of Bubblegum Crisis or detailed instructions on how to build a
nuclear power generator)how can you trust that any drive with that kind of
capacity wasn't built with the goals of it's manufacturers included into it's
design requirements? Goals that typically include invading your privacy and
removing your opsec capabilities.

okay just to clarify: if anyone is recording me or storing data about me, I

ah yes but then how will my comrades come for my things know where to look? my
precious precious drives may be less safe inside of the computer case but at
least then someone I can about can find them.
or what you're saying is that a basic part of situational awareness is having
a plan for this kind of thing with the people who care about you? Ah, well,
nobody cares about me like that. Just a couple normies who want nothing but
business as usual.
wonder if I can open up my hard drives to "read only" SSH access? Or maybe
I'll just make the important files into a torrent. Or perhaps marking them as
"downloadable locations" on Soulseek? Plenty of options, all of them require
someone to care enough about your junk to want to archive it. Something
something ipfs?

"what are you doing?" doxxing myself. If she wanted to save as many lives as

why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

I just thought your post was iconic and was made better with the full
screenshot so you can share it if you want or keep it on your hard drive to
find sometime in the future and be like "oh ha I remember that"

if you're got a large directory full of text files that you want to combine
into one single .txt or .pdf, let me know, I can hook you up with a mega file
so it's easier to search through or manage when archiving data or whatever the

kinda wanna make a linux distro that has all the capabilities of a GUI distro
and isn't so minimal (like screen recording, calculator, screenshot, wifi
manager, etc etc) but with i3 instead of a desktop.
they could literally just be symlinks (shortcuts) to scripts that are in your
/usr/bin or whatever directory
seriously it's not like there's THAT many ways to use ffmpeg, why not just
write a script for them? that's what you're going to do when you use it for
the first time, anyway, so...

"oh but what if one artist has 1500 works and another has 15"
first of all, damn, good job. That's a lot of work.
second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a
STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about
how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data
points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of
compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or
using their style as an inspiration.
"oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the
first piece used the second piece as inspiration"
I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's
problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone
else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or
beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that.

here's a read-only copy that you can annotate as you will. I got the originals

notes on them.
