They should be powered on if you want to retain data on them long-term. The controller should automatically check physical integrity and disable bad sections as needed.

I'm not sure if just connecting them to power would be enough for the controller to run error correction, or if they need to be connected to a computer. That might be model specific.

What server OS are you using? Are you already using some SSDs for cache drives?

Any backup is better than no backup, but SSDs are really not a good choice for long-term cold storage. You'll probably get tired of manually plugging them in to check integrity and update the backups pretty fast.

Er, so your view of the world is pro-bootlicking then?

And also, which of the Vietnamese government's officials are "the working class"?

Tô Lâm, the cop?

A graduate of the Central Police School and the Vietnam People's Security Academy, his entire career has been in the police forces.

Lương Cường, the army general?

Cường was previously vice director of the People's Army of Vietnam General Political Department from 2011 to 2016 where he became the director, and was promoted to the rank of four-star General in 2019.

Phạm Minh Chính, the intelligence/security officer?

In January 1985, Phạm Minh Chính became an Intelligence officer within the Department of Intelligence within the Ministry of Public Security. Among other roles, he served as an intelligence officer in the Department of Europe and America within the Department of Intelligence. In March 1991, Phạm Minh Chính became an officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working at the Vietnamese Embassy in Romania.

Trần Thanh Mẫn, the business and economics doctorate?

He attended university majoring in Business Administration, was a graduate student in economics, successfully defended his PhD thesis in Economics and received his PhD in Economics in November 2009.

You believe these people are not greedy pigs? Hilarious. This is an oligarchy like any other, you're just choosing a different paint job.

Except that all of the board length measurements will not work out.

Without getting into the technical details, the main cost offset of running a cryptominer is the electricity used. If the crawler performs cryptominer calculations on your server it will be of no benefit to you, because you will still have to pay the electricity bill, and really it's not the crawler doing the calculations, it's your own server hardware.

If you install a captcha as part of your web server, that code is running on your server.

The crawler interacting with the captcha on your server will not result in cryptominer code running on its server.

Something on the crawler's server would need to accept a download of the cryptominer code and then run that code.

There's a functional difference between forcing a crawler to interact with code on your server that wastes its time, and getting it to download your code and run it on its own server - the issue being where the actual CPU/GPU/APU cycles happen. If they happen on your server then it's not benefiting you at all, it's costing you the same amount as just running the cryptominer directly would.

Any halfway intelligent administrator would never allow an automated routine to download and run arbitrary code on their own system, it would be a massive security risk.

My understanding of Anubis is that it just leads the crawler into a never-ending cycle of URLs that just lead to more URLs while containing no information of any value. The code that does this is still installed and running on your server, and is just serving bogus links to the crawler.

This guy was convicted for writing "down with the Communist Party of Vietnam" on a piece of paper. That is the entirety of this incident.

If you support this action you are an authoritarian.

Every other argument you might try to make is just an attempt to distract from the core issue, which is oppression.

Self-sufficiency isn't possible anymore in this world.

It never was. No one was ever a farmer and a dentist and a blacksmith and a doctor and a tailor and a carpenter and a hunter and a weaver and a miller and a cobbler and a baker...

Trying to be self-sufficient is a great way to end up dying young of a common easily curable infection, or of starvation.

You are a very confused person.

Trinh Ba Phuong, who was already serving a 10-year sentence on charges of spreading anti-state propaganda, was convicted Friday by the People's Court of Da Nang for writing “down with the Communist Party of Vietnam for violating human rights, down with the Communist court for wrongfully convicting me” on a piece of paper found in his cell, according to The 88 Project, a group focusing on human rights abuses in Vietnam.

[...]

His most recent conviction is "the first instance of a Vietnamese political prisoner being prosecuted for their speech while already imprisoned," according to The 88 Project.

Bop it!

Twist it!

Pull it!

Hmm, how would you convince the crawler to run your code on its home system, rather than just scraping data?

"My sibling in Christ, if you truly respected my privacy you wouldn't need to ask for this."
