4., of course. Those who refuse to sing and dance get deported.

Where did I claim that only capitalism and socialism exists? And while you're right that other massive ecological disasters exist, ruining the whole of Central Asia with a single megaproject is, by far, the biggest damage done by a single instance of human ignorance. Not even greed, just pure stupidity: after soviets ended Lysenkoism (which cost them decades of research and lives of thousands of scientists), they moved to their next political idea. And this kind of agricultural project was one of favourite pasttimes of communism, see eg. Four Pests Campaign that lasted just 4 years but was so disastrous that the instant famine offed tens of millions.

But, if you love socialism so much, please explain to me: could you give me even ONE upside of it? All I see is north of 200M dead (~11% national, the rest reds). If an idea has been tried in 100+ countries, and every time has resulted in concentration camps (well, Grenada had "only" disorganized killing, but it's a microstate where communists got spanked after 4 years) -- perhaps the idea is not that good after all?

Even religions which claim Jesus as a prophet haven't managed so high a number, but as they got quite close (~100M christianity + ~75M islam), it's not for a lack of trying.

Not block, that just makes the bot herders come from a new set of IPs and with a slightly different method to ward off detection. And instead of a single article, give them endless content they so crave. Be it AI-generated to match current fads, or dissociated press generated as we used to do in the previous millenium.

If only we had protocols for bulk downloads that scale according to the content's popularity...

Sorry but it's socialism that has done the worst ecological disasters. The Aral Sea is now the Aral Desert, the rivers that provided Central Asia fertile steppes are now small polluted streams, and the land is too salty for any productive use.

Central Asia used to have rivers and lakes just 60 years ago, is mostly a salty half-desert now, for this exact reason.

It's only 1.5 million images, we have plenty of people who'd volunteer to classify and filter them -- and, select the best. Although, shameful to say, I'd prefer to use tags made by magatees, as their definition of "woman" is the one I'd want to filter on.

While the first 10 words of your sentence make sense, this insult against ZOOLOOK was uncalled for.

md RAID, various hwraids etc -- anything that doesn't talk to the filesystem -- can't recover from any errors other than 1. read errors that have been detected by the drive itself, 2. a complete failure of a drive with it never coming back. SSDs often return garbage instead of an error; especially a failure or a bug in the FTL will give you an unrelated sector. Cable failures happen, etc. If a drive comes back (after a transient error, reboot, or reseating), the RAID layer has no way to know which drive contains current and which stale data. Some of these errors can be caught by a write-intent bitmap but it's not always enabled, and has too rough granularity to give an answer in many cases.

On the other hand, btrfs has a checksum chain going all the way up to the superblock: you simply pick the copy that validates.

Also, btrfs allows a non-even number of disks of non-even size. You can eg. have a RAID1 on disks sized 512 1024 1024 (usable size: 1280). Or, change RAID levels on the fly.

So the proper name is "cold fission".

Our asses sit on a massive nuclear fission reactor. This one is at least shielded by a decent amount of rock. But, there's worse: someone irresponsible put a much bigger, completely unshielded fusion reactor mere 8 light minutes from here! It emits deadly radiation: while fortunately at least on our side there are two weak shields: one magnetic, one oxygen, the shields are inadequate, causing numerous fatalities due to radiation-caused cancers. Even worse: when that reactor malfunctions, it's expected that it will engulf our piece of rock, killing everyone who doesn't evacuate. Whoever made this bad design should lose his engineering license!

SNES Doom is a quite different game, that utilizes textures and most of the levels of Doom. It uses a different engine that lacks a lot of graphics features (flats, transparent textures), has monster textures for only one side rather than eight, lacks most of monster AI, etc. And even with that limitations, it shows only a small window with halved resolution.

CNN, which had historically been a reputable news source, has quit the news business in 2016, being only a spin factory since then.

That you hate side X, doesn't mean that everyone on your side is honest or sane.

Compare to Germany which had a good base of clean energy, yet switched to coal and gas for political reasons.

Well, about that... Quote from an official speech: "American aggressor interferes in the internal matters of the Soviet Union on the whole world".
