It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

i think there's a defcon talk from a decade ago about what it would actually take to have a "self-destruct button" like in movies just for some servers or hard drives and i don't think any capitalist would justify the expense when they can have somebody else pay for aerial bombardment or some shit.
Pressing the comically large self-destruct button, but nothing happens because Raytheon cut corners and skimped on the fuse
Sort of, there's a lot that can go wrong with long term self-destruct systems that mean that it's unrealistically expensive or a huge risk to the thing you're trying to "protect".
Sure, absolutely. But, otoh, if it's the US Military behind it, then money's no object. My initial thought on something like a self destruct would be that if I could use it so could my enemies... But, that was also my concern about massive data collection and surveillance states, and that didn't stop them so...😅🤷♂️
Edit: but yeah aerial bombardment is what I would expect.
