Hmm, what does that full format do? Write zeros over everything?
Personally, I would run shred on the root filesystem. It's a tool specifically intended for properly deleting data (overwrites it with random data multiple times).

I came into this comment section wanting to make the same argument, but I guess, you could also be carrying around a USB-C-to-audio-jack adapter in addition to your wired headphones...
Just in time as the "but you promised 1.5 degrees" sentence expires...
I thought, this was going to be about D~~oom~~RL, which is a different take on that: https://drl.chaosforge.org/screenshots

This is a bit of me-thing, but yeah, I'm annoyed that YouTube is the way it is. It's non-trivial to embed videos from there without violating the GDPR, so embedded videos are basically not a thing these days on general-purpose social media.
And personally, I also want to avoid the tracking from clicking through to a YouTube video and Google encourages long-ass videos, so I always hesitate before clicking through. Also, people without ad blockers go through a completely different circle of hell before a video starts.
Basically, I miss the days when memes could just be short videos. Where everyone could see on the embed that, oh, it's a 30 second video, I can watch that. And then they'd just click play, without leaving the page.
I do understand that likely no one would care to provide the bandwidth for dumb meme videos on PeerTube either. But yeah, I just dream of that being a thing.
Of course, yes. I'm just explaining why there's more political motivation to not be hit by a car than a motorcycle.
They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.
The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I'm saying I still don't think so, because it would be far too petty and I don't see them benefitting that much from it.
The English pronunciation of Hercules is effectively the same as the German pronuncation.
Important for the joke is that the normal pronunciation for molecules differs, even though it also ends on -cules...
They were trying to show the hero-like pronunciation applied. Think of e.g. Hercules.
A motorcycle has a higher chance of killing its rider rather than bystanders, when compared to cars.
The graph is from this article: https://peakoilbarrel.com/carrying-capacity-overshoot-and-species-extinction/
...which cites the article you linked, but also this paper: https://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/PDR37-4.Smil_.pgs613-636.pdf
It would be nicer, if it was in some renown journal, so we'd know some sort of peer review has taken place. This certainly could still be entirely made up. But it looks a lot more convincing/sourced than most articles.
It took maybe 10 minutes or so for a 256 GB hard drive for me, if I remember correctly.
That was an SSD, though, so yeah, mileage would definitely vary on an HDD.
