I would solve this problem in the opposite way. Install some much lower barriers(eg 2.5m) which make it painfully apparent that you aren’t going to get anything other than a car under it.

A truck driver isn’t going to keep driving if the barrier is clearly at face height.

You honestly believe that there is a peacefull path left at this point? The system is rigged by design, and you are not going to restore democracy in the courtroom.

Quit playing Martin and start playing Malcolm. Pick up a gun and kill your fascist leaders before they kill all of us.

Now would be the time for you Americans to get your sacred guns out and eliminate your tyrannical goverment. Please act quickly before the fascist cunts get us all killed.

Unless I’m missing something, you can do this fairly simply already. I have a post-install script I run on all of my machines which sets up all network shares and runs ‘apt install whole bunch of packages’ to get things into a ready-to-roll state.

The choice they are given, as a result of the society we live in, is eat a plant-based diet with an adoptive family, or be killed by the state.

Unadopted dogs don’t get released into the wild to live freely and fend for themselves, they get killed.

The lesser-harm option seems pretty clear.

See the scenarios above. Are you suggesting that dogs would choose death over a life where they dont get to eat their favourite foods?

Cats require specific vitamins such as taurine, which in nature would be derived from meat. In 21st century society, it is produced synthetically and easily supplemented.

Scenario 1: you leave the dog at the shelter and it eventually gets killed.

Scenario 2: you bring the dog home and feed it so that it doesn’t get killed.

I don’t see any ethical issue with my dogs eating the same foods I do. Why would i order the deaths of other animals for the sake of their taste buds?

There are other methods. In NZ every enrolled voter’s name gets printed into a physical book, and then crossed off by poll workers when they arrive to vote. An “easy vote” card is also mailed out to everyone, which is basically in index card to make it easier to look you up in the book.

As part of the vote counting process, all these books are checked against each other, to identify if a person has cast a vote at multiple polling places. With any duplicates investigated by the electoral commission.

Effectively the only way to manipulate the vote count would be to spend election week driving around the country, voting once per polling station under the name of a person you knew was enrolled to vote, but would not be voting themselves.

There were ~150 cases of attempted/apparent vote fraud in the last election, out of ~2M votes cast. That seems like a fairly low number to me, and I would not support any attempts to restrict voting to prevent it.

Fair, unfortunately it was a work machine that i needed operational again asap.

Luckily i image my machine monthly, so it was fairly straightforward to roll back.

Generally yes. My exception was the time i accidentally nuked python in it’s entirety…

So the answer is to keep slowly sliding into fascism with the ‘slightly less evil’ party, rather than forcing their hand in the hope of democratic reforms which stop the slide?

A translation layer could be used, no? Check api version, translate any v1 specific calls into their v2 counterparts, then submit the v2 request?

If it is earmarked for purely defensive equipment, it still indirectly funds their genocide by freeing up other money for it.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

Built off it, rather than copied it. That’s par for the course in most science.

Literally billions of people are. Do you think meat just spontaneously appears in the supermarket?

Quite the opposite. Cannibalism(assuming you obtain consent) would be ethical meat consumption.
