gherard5555··on I use zip bombs to protect my server
There is a similar thing for ssh servers, called endlessh (https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh). In the ssh protocol the client must wait for the server to send back a banner when it first connects, but there is no limit for the size of it ! So this program will send an infinite banner very ... very slowly; and make the crawler/script kiddie script hang out indefinitely or just crash.

> But they have, by electing the representatives that ought to represent them

Yes this is the theory, but what if there is no political party "representing" me, what about people abstaining from voting, what if peoples elect an authoritarian figure I didn't vote for ? This is one of the pitfalls of your system, if only one citizen disagree, or do not feel represented in it, this justification falls apart. You cannot hide this behind an "implementation problem", because there is no such implementation. If "we are the government" so everything the state is doing to me (or any other individual) will be "voluntary". With this reasoning the state is not putting me in prison for my dissident opinion, I went to prison myself.

> concluding that the state is your enemy and cannot be trusted is the wrong one, in my opinion

I didn't conclude such a thing, I only wanted to make clear that the state is a distinct institution that cannot possibly represent everyone, thus not worthy of the title "we". Also yes I do not trust it :)

> A state is its population.

Very dangerous thinking. Unless each and every citizens has approved the elected "representative" and every decision they made (which will never happen), you cannot assimilate the state and the population. The state has to be considered a separate entity, one which operate beyond the common man's thinking.

Yes, the connector is a little loose now and the cable comes off easily. But you can use the other connector so its not really an issue for me.

Also it sounds like you may have the infamous issue where the firmware of the charging port cease functioning. I strongly recommend updating the charging port firmware to anyone reading this if you have a T480.

gherard5555··on I maintain a 17 year old ThinkPad
My T480 just doesn't want to die. I dropped it a lot, in my staircase, on concrete floor, accidentally emptied my whole mug of coffee on it (had to change the keyboard that time some keys were stuck). At some point I felt so confident I tried stepping on it when it was closed. So yeah this thing is pretty tough.

fandom.com is yet another example illustrating why the model of big entities replacing independents forums and wikis has failed (also see reddit). Corporate interests are completely disconnected from the communities. Many wikis have started to migrate to their own platforms and I hope to see more of that in the future.
