  • my first professional experience with linux came doing tech support for ubunu & red hat on thinkpads.

    this was the mid aughts so they were t40’s, t60’s & x60’s and i always marveled at how well they were engineered; you used to be able to swap out the hard drives, keyboards, displays & cases without tools (but it was easier if you had atleast a screw driver around).

    it was so easy that it would be one of the first things that we would do to minimize amount of time that the engineers spent getting tech support. if they had even the slight tangentially hardware related compliant like slow wifi; we would almost automatically pull out the harddrive and slap it into another shell and send them on their way.







  • i’m less depressed by the lack of opsec and more depressed that they didn’t have to bother hiding it; they were using gmail for fuck’s sake!

    also the bike riders already know each other because there’s depressingly too many of them; but mistakes are sometimes made and those mistakes are written off as crazy people who propagate conspiracy theories like illuminati style global-sex-trafficking/human-sacrifice rings



  • it’s basic party planning; you invite significantly more people because you know that less than half will actually show up.

    in your case: you’ll need to invite like 50 people and expect 10 to show up, but be sure to have enough bikes in case all 50 people actually do show up.

    i bet that’s why epstein got caught; he had to make sure that he had at least one bike for each one of his pedo friends.
