brezelradar,

tunefind when I hear something I like while binge watching, and occasionally to see what others seem to enjoy these days (although that only matches in say 10-15% of the cases).

brezelradar,

Yea, but every once in a while it changes to this which is a welcome change I guess.

brezelradar,

Looks more like the attire for a play party on Risa.

Yeah, there is a wide spread in distribution. Some blood cells, skin epithelium and some gastric cells only live for a few days.

brezelradar,

As most of the human cells die and get replaced within a few years, humans are already beings of Theseus.

brezelradar,

Yea, but don’t help him with his nukes.

brezelradar,

Yea, but only after they figured out that having tons of seashells onboard each space ship is a terrible idea if you haven’t invented replicators yet.

brezelradar,

Don’t you dare!

brezelradar,

I used to enjoy this, sadly I no longer can.

brezelradar,

God no. Cookie Monster is still great.

brezelradar,

I can’t, literally. It’s now what comes to mind when hearing those songs. They kinda have that abusive dom vibe.

brezelradar,

Cardassian justice system - you can take only two.

brezelradar,

You deliberately left out the third panel. Thank you for that.

brezelradar,

Better yet: Fuck’em without breaking the contract.

Nah, Tucker worked on the Moonlander Project (which got the Starfleet recruitment officer to believe that he has actual experience in aerospace engineering and landed him his current job).

wipe or fake SMART data

My guess would be that it’s stored in some kind of non-volatile memory, i.e. EEPROM. Not sure if anyone ever tried that, but with the dedication of some hardware hackers that seems at least feasible. Reverse engineering / overriding the HDD’s firmware would be another approach to return fake or manipulated values.

I haven’t seen something like that in the wild so far. What I have seen are manipulated USB sticks though: advertising the wrong size (could be tested with h2testw) or worse.

brezelradar,

First thing to do is check SMART data to see if there are any fails. Then looking at usage hours, spin ups, pre-fails / old-age to get a general idea how worn the drive is and for how long you could make use of it depending on risk acceptance.

If there are already several clusters relocated and multiple spin up fails, I’d probably return the drive.

Apart from all the reliability stuff: I’d check the content of the drive (with a safe machine) - if it wasn’t wiped you might want to notify the previous owner, so she can change her passwords or notify customers about the leak (in compliance to local regulations) etc. - even if you don’t exploit that data, the merchants/dealers in the chain might already have.
