You can take apart juice bottles.
The least realistic part is that anon managed to get to and dilute every bottle their gf used.
Cause if they miss one, their gf is gonna have a serious shock.
Trees!
Trees store lots of environmental and atmospheric data in their trunks. When they get fossilized a lot of that information remains intact.
Also, ice cores. Layers of ice protect previous layers of ice from further contamination, so are a pretty good snapshot of the environment/atmosphere at a given point in time.
The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...

Could tunnel to a VPS using a VPN. VPN deals with the CGNAT traversal, and VPS gives your home network a static public IP. But would need to do it at a network level cause I doubt a switch can do that directly
Perhaps a member of the cult is also a part of the local law forces, so they don’t have immediate concerns about the law coming down on them.
Or at least feel they would have enough warning to not have to start immediately disbanding.
Could lead to a purge of corrupt law enforcement quest.
I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory.

Companies would only do it in response to an incident.
Same as any IT related thing. IT will block bad websites, maybe have some alerts for common stuff, but will only sift through logs when something goes wrong so they can assess the extent, impact and fixes for things.
The exceptions are probably like Amazon where they have the processing power and dev-time to do things like this to their own employees, which might also turn into a marketable product for other companies.
Military contractors might as well (Boeing…)
My other half discovered that some dodgy person/company had managed to send instagram messages advertising handbags to all of her followers from her account. She changed her password immediately, but what could have happened here? Is it the case that a “hacker” had access to her full instagram account, or would they have...
She’s just been through her junk email folder and found a “We’ve noticed a new login” email from instagram yesterday
The junk-ing security notices is so common.
A few months ago, my dad said “uh, I got some email from my bank, and now my credit card doesn’t work”.
The email was describing some problem with his account which would have been so much easy to fix before they cancelled the card.
Similarly, I lost a domain name because the registrar notifications for renewal ended up in my junk mail.
It’s probably quite a significant issue. Companies can go “well we tried to contact you” and wash their hands.
Doesn’t matter that they also spammed bullshit marketing emails from the same address that issues security/renewal notifications.
Doesn’t matter that spam email has been such an issue it is near-impossible to host your own email server (and expect delivery) for a decade or so now.
Ventoy is an OS.
It’s a live Linux that boots from the USB stick you format/image with the ventoy tool. The rest of the space on the USB stick is configured to be essentially a standard USB drive.
The live Linux’s sole purpose is to boot another image stored on the USB stick.
So, once you have "ventoy"d a usb stick, you can plonk gparted live iso, Ubuntu, Debian, Eos, W10, W11… whatever isos you want. When you boot from that USB stick, you get the ventoy menu screen and select the iso you want it to continue to boot.
Oh yeh, saved my skin a few times.
And you can use it like a normal USB stick once your OS is up, so you can have some installers on there to speed things up
Yeh, but the late fees are good for people. Free market and free market. Drain the swamp etc. Just pay your debt on time. Or something, both side the same, yada yada.
A great example of the current presidency trying to do something good for a lot of people.

I feel like Talos Linux is NixOS applied to a very specific purpose: kubernetes.
I’ve recently been playing with kubernetes, and talos linux feels like cheating.
I think NixOS could has a huge market unexplored of server side deployments. Install NixOS, connect to the fresh install via a CLI tool, apply the patches (flakes?), and have an easy way to reset to base NixOS when you make a mistake so you can try a different set of patches.
All from the cli, all with idempotent config files.
