    I didn’t deny it; its akin to a first year med student reading about all the subtle little ways that the body hints something is majorly wrong and noticing symptoms exhibit in them, I guess i am just not jaded enough to accept that online anons can just send a swat team to my house if i comment on the local weather online.

    Honestly i believe there is no point in speculating whether there are backdoors installed in popular privacy and encryption apps; for all we know, the powers that are may already have a digital fortress’esque quantum computer decrypting everything from your signal messages to onion sites in a matter of seconds.

    I think(my personal headcanon) that there probably was a Manhattan project like top secret research project that has yielded some very fruitful results, now i guess we have to just wait for some whistleblower or a disgruntled employee to feed it a file that blows it up.





















  • A SMART Test showed 6 bad sectors but overall disk assessment was ok(I dont think there is any connection between the file and the HDD), yes that file has not been fixed, the disk in question used to be my main bootdrive a few days ago, I shrunk the partition and created a new EXt4 and i am slowly copying files that are worth keeping, i removed the ODD from my laptop and installed a caddy, intend to use it as a second drive(The file in question has no sentimental value)
