  • I know he comes from Orbans party, but I also know that Orban wasn’t thought to be corrupt in the beginning.
    So it seems to me to show character for Péter Magyar that he no longer could stand by Orbam destroying Hungary.

    that’s indeed what he says but it is not obvious whether it’s completely true.

    Péter Magyar did not part ways back when Orbán became corrupt. He did that just 2 years ago, when Orbán has been corrupt for a very long time and party members had plenty of time to be accustomed to that, and to being defensive when being accused of that (in case of other fidesz members).

    before I become a russian propagandist for saying this, I want to say this does not directly mean Péter will be corrupt too. but many people (including me) think that the chance of it cant be ignored. I’ll be voting for his party, but I’ll keep this in mind.

    So it seems to me it is Orban that changed

    Orbán definitely seems to have changed, in the very beginning. but maybe he was just a liar, with different motives than he was showing. I don’t know how could someone change that much, but it would be an interesting read if it was ever uncovered.

    You hadn’t yet stated “here” is Hungary, so your sarcasm is misplaced.

    ok, you’re right there, I was unclear.





  • thanks! as you say because tye 5 vs 136 years it does not really matter in our environment, but it probably starts mattering when you have lots of disks.

    I don’t actually know if this is the right way to calculate it, but if for each disk you count the time separately, and add it together for a combined MTBF, then that is 20 out of the 136 MTBF years.
    But with 30 drives that will be 150 and indicate that you will likely have at least one error of some kind because of using SATA




  • you are missing the point.

    It’s fine that a border guard checks my passport and lets me to go my way. who cares. It’s reasonable, and I believe that it’s for our safety. but automated checks do more: they log the exact times you crossed the border, store it for decades. all the unnecessary data will most likely leak or be used for nefarious purposes at some point.

    its like forced digital passes on public transport. when the driver checks your passes, no private info about my traveling/commuting habits is collected. but when passes need to be scanned, it is: gov id, time, location, stop number, line number. the public transport company really has no business in knowing when do I go to work, when do I head home, or when do I start using a different stop regularly, as it reveals so many other things about you, like whether you do anything in the city after work and how frequent is that.

    I travel over the border much less, but my point stands.

    What are you actually preserving by avoiding having your face scanned?

    in addition to the above, by having fewer face scans uploaded to the system, I expect the surveillance cameras on the streets to do a worse job on facial recognition even when I’m just going about my day in my home country.
