there’s a video by jonas čeika that’s worth checking out, on how the simpsons became a copy without an original

pretty sure i saw a video today of an iraqi flag randomly raised there lmao

good point about the weight, afaik modern control systems are pretty decent at ignoring flares anyway. it seems to me that a smaller interceptor rocket would be more maneuverable than the drones, though not sure about the latency between sensing and actuation.

from what i can find the iron dome uses radar to detect incoming projectiles, but the interceptor missiles themselves use optical sensors to lock on. i don’t think swerving would be enough. maybe flares would be effective since it was mostly designed to counter simple unguided rockets, but i’m not sure.

iirc the intel management engine can be disabled through some weird fuckery, not sure if the same can be done for amd’s equivalent. if you custom flash a bios and run an open source os compiled by a trusted source, i think you got most potential backdoors covered (although the cpu microcode might still be an issue).

skimming through coreutils’ copy.c, emit_verbose is called on line 2627 while copy_reg is called on line 3103 (in the implementation of copy_internal). at least on my machine, touch /tmp/foo && cp -v /tmp/{foo,bar/} returns an error after printing the verbose output.
