That is a serious problem.

Honestly I am not satisfied with any of them. If I search "meow", most of results won't be cat-related at all.

I did a post on various I2P search engines a while back. Check it out.

For the clearnet, brave search. For tor, torch. For i2p, legwork.

Shinobi I presume, but I actually prefer searching directly on the specific website if the feature is available.

When my grandfather "died" after a heart attack, he ended up seeing a door with light coming from under it, and he saw himself floating above himself. He was resuscitated and went on to live for two more decades.
My personal belief is that we will all stand in Judgement before our Creator and have to give an account for every action (whether right or wrong) that we have committed. We will receive an eternal reward or an eternal punishment; those who did only good in their lives will go to Heaven, and those who have done any wrong will burn in Hell for eternity.

I imagine that it will feel just like the it did the 13.7 billion years before I was born, no feeling at all, just nothing.

I expect nothing, and I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to get. I won't know the difference. I expect I will go from existing to not.

Is there an afterlife? That is a matter of faith.
Another thought outside religion: Based on what we can observe, I've been comforted in loss by the realization we never are truly gone.
Our physical form, continues to change (always has). Death always becomes (or "feeds into") new life. But we are never really "gone".
We can even observe this, the way meat content changes composition, based on an animal's diet (grass finished vs corn fed, omega6 vs omega3 fatty acids).
The circle of life, a continuum of cycles, within cycles. All of us. Everything being connected in that way.
Our life continues to shape / influence others - another way we still exist, our influence shaping new generations, behavior, genes.
And they pass this on, and so on.
Nothing, and no one, is really ever gone in that way. We continually change form.
Might not be what anyone is looking to hear. But it's one way to look at existence.

"tasteful decomposition" is my belief. get me naked, put me in a wheelbarrow, do your last goodbyes or whatever and dump me in the ocean. if the dolphins have their way with me after that's their business. i feel like the whole funeral business thing is fucking wasteful and pointlessly expensive, the grieving get taken advantage of. it's nice to go visit a grave and all afterwards, but if i get dumped in the ocean somewhere you can make a fun day of it.

btrfs for os + ext4 for home, need snapshots and stable rock for data I think this is the best that works for me, i also frequent backups to other ext drives

I definitely recommend listening to the entire testimony. Once past the normal boring introductions and listening to the three witnesses it gets really good.
Could it be a giant psyop? Sure. Three witnesses were highly credentialed and under oath, but that could be all part of the 'bigger plan' if a giant psyop. If it was, then what for? This hardly got any main stream media coverage so if it was a coverup for something else, it was a piss poor coverup since the only news being regurgitated that day was of our imagining politicians freezing in place (Mitch McConnell) and how hot it was outside.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this wasn't publicized more or why even on reddit it never made it to /r/news, for example. Most the articles I did read or skim through were vague and didn't really touch base on much of the key points or claims made. Only places I could find on reddit giving an honest go-over was places like /r/conspiracy or, of course, /r/ufos .
I'd say to date it's the most credible and open discussion on the topic. The links you shared are certainly good reads, but submitted by people with unknown credentials and without being under oath in front of congress, though what they stated is very similar to what was shared on Wednesday before the world.
A personal experience of my own: As a kid in the early 90's, and in a very rural part of America, I always had a clear view of the night sky. My childhood was spent outdoors, climbing trees, building forts in the woods and just laying down in the yard at night staring at the stars.
I very distinctly remember seeing a large triangle shaped object one night, with the blunt side moving forward slowly and the pointy tip being the rear of the... thing. It seemed low to the ground (a few hundred feet maybe) and I recall a light in each corner and it moving slowly, that's it. I've never seen anything else in my life since then like that, and then probably about 6 or 7 years ago while sitting around a camp fire sharing some beers with some hikers (strangers) at a shared campsite we all happened to stop at one night while hiking a long trail in the region, we start swapping stories and someone else from the same general area as me mentioned seeing the exact same thing one night during the same timeframe (early 90's), this was mentioned before I had said anything at all. What he described was exactly what I had observed all those years prior.
There is also a military installment nearby, so the 'easy explanation' is that it was simply some experimental military craft that can move slowly, quietly, and 'backwards' (blunt side forward, pointy side backward). We'd occasionally have the house rattled due to sonic booms from military test flights back then, so there was definitely military activity and training in the area during this time period as well. Still eerie to think about it all these years later.
Had a family member in the Air Force who spent a lot of time out in New Mexico, and closer to his death he'd tell some stories. Many seemed like tall tales, but this is a man who wasn't much for gloating or bragging. I think a lot of what he shared was more, "heard through the grapevine", so to speak. He wasn't a front line grunt by any means, but certainly wasn't high up on the totem pole either.
Who knows.
Just seems implausible to think that we're alone and that the elements we require for life are the same elements required for other life. I hope we see more discourse and open transparent discussion on the subject from the government moving forward though!

As Mulder put it (X-Files): I want to believe 🤓
But very distrustful of the recent flood of coverage, and some moments of testimony aren't as convincing as others.
Without hard evidence: I like to consider any possibly beneficiaries.
(though maybe I should probably watch entire testimony before making a judgement)
One really comes to mind: could really help raise military budgets. 😉

I think this is huge news, but I'm surprised that not many people seem to care or just brush it off because there's no smoking gun (authentic videos, photos, etc.). The best we have are the Navy videos that the Pentagon released a while back.
If you want to dive into the rabbit hole, here are some stories from people who have supposedly worked on these retrieval programs:
- 4chan whistleblower
- From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, I worked as a molecular biologist for a national security contractor in a program to study Exo-Biospheric-Organisms (EBO).
I wouldn't be surprised if people like this now start to come forward to Congress. Ross Coulthart seems to know of others that want to talk.
Some of the implications of this shit is scary as hell and I don't think our governments will use any of this technology to "help people" or "advance the human race". They just use it to build better bombs and craft to kill "the other guy" (China, Russia, etc.).

Not to sound like a nutjob, but there are a lot of things they have kept hidden. More transparency is needed.

That's the one that has gotten me though many a late night drive. Others too no doubt, but that's my default.

You have the correct idea. Previously I used XFS. Shure for torrent storage I use loop with btrfs. For USB fat32... for old hardware and OS'es. I forgot what Hammer (Dragon Fly bsd) is used for or if I ever use it (I gave up on DragonFly because of ransom crap attention). Just make sure you have hardware disk encryption (all motherboard manufacturers have it but don't give it with default BIOS) to prevent watermarking.

I tend to use ext4, but it depends on the use case.

Can you give us a bit of info about what sort of content you'd like to see on a Korea forum, and the general scope? It'll help describe the forum in the sidebar if we decide to add it. Thanks.
