Cereal Killer: That is universally bogus! Don't let the Plague of modern megacorporations tell you it's a "user error". Cereal Killer: Spandex is a privilege, not a right... but financial compensation for an encrypted ozone layer? That _is_ your right. 5/

I wanted another computer as a sandbox, I don't really trust VMs, and fucking chip shortages, so to the boneyard it is. I have a disused ASRock Rack J1900D2Y with 8GB of RAM and a PicoPSU that used to be my mail server. Somehow, at some point, I modded the 1U case to mount the rack ears on the back.

I frantically reload the applet, but instead of the console, the screen glitches out, showing a live camera feed of my street just as a yellow car pulls up outside. I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror.

So I sigh, boot back into the GRML environment, mount the chroot for the fifteenth time, run the apt install, and rebuild the initramfs. I unmount everything, cross my fingers, and type reboot. The janky Java IPKVM refreshes. BIOS POSTs. GRUB chainloads ZFSBootMenu.

After a while, I finally get that working, only to be immediately prompted for the passphrase a second time (on the screen, via the IPKVM, where I keep failing to type it, and it takes abour 90 seconds to check because I cranked up pbkdf2 iterations) when Debian starts.

I use metadata v1.0, at the end of the partition, of course. Then comes the part where I get ZFSBootMenu working with SSH unlock. ZFSBootMenu is intended to boot via UEFI, but as I said, that doesn't work, but that's what GRUB is for - I can chainload.

The board _claims_ to support UEFI booting. This was determined to be a lie. Whatever. A problem for later. I put GRML (which is my new favorite rescue "CD" since it also has aarch64 builds available) on a flash drive, remove the case from the flash drive, solder it to a motherboard header cable...

Annoying. So I dig up the original rack ears which I apparently still have, and try to flip things around, except the drive tray doesn't work the other way around somehow. What. Fine. I have a drill and a file. Sorted.

It seems that "Sex Matters", an anti-trans hate group run by Maya Forstater and funded by JK Rowling, did not appreciate being named as such in this report from Amnesty International. They seem to have pressured them to take it down, but I have a copy. transrightsnow.uk/Report_-_A_g...

The age verifier knows how old you are at all times. It knows this because it knows how old you aren't. By subtracting how old you are from how old you aren't, or how old you aren't from how old you are (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or remainder.

The age verification scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the you have input, it is not sure just how old you are. However, it is sure how old you aren't, within reason, and it knows how old you were.

Consequently, the age you are is now the age that you weren't, and it follows that the age that you were is now the age that you aren't.

The verification system uses deviations to generate corrective dark patterns to drive you from a date of birth that isn't yours to a date of birth that is, and arriving at an age where you weren't, but now are.
