Will governments even attempt to reduce the destructive potential of deepfakes? I’m doubtful considering political corruption.
They'll only start caring when they deepfake a high-ranking politician deep throating a massive horse cock and it begins to affect their electability. Even then they will be too old and technology illiterate to make any meaningful action on it.
Ok, I'm not sure I fully understand your comment but I will try my best to help.
A good backup system follows the concept of 3-2-1.
3 copies of your data (one of which includes the copy on your computer), on two separate storage mediums ( multiple hard drives from different manufacturers or an SSD or on archival blu-ray discs for example), and one of these copies being off-site (like in a safe at a family members house or online) to avoid destruction by things like a building fire.
If you are wanting storage that you own and can access from anywhere, perhaps one option might be something like a low-power single board computer like a Raspberry-pi 4, Odroid or something connected to a USB hard drive. Every month or so, take the files and transfer copies to another drive that you store in a different location. If you're wanting something like an active file sync between your storage and another computer, using syncthing might be a solution.
I mean this coming from a place of love in my heart when I say this but wanting to subject anything that's alive to torture for the sake of torture is mentally ill and abnormal. Seek professional help.
Your case, though, could be easily solved with trains
easily solved
while I agree with a lot of your post (certainly more informative than the others), I disagree that the issue could be easily solved. There is a lack of political will (at best) and an outright hostility (at worst) to the very idea of trains and public transportation.
...but it kinda doesn't tho? Also dropping a 7000+ word article without context of my question doesn't really mean anything. Its a trend I've noticed a lot with communists: asks simple question, drops a really wordy article that doesn't answer the question. That article has an estimated reading time of over 26 minutes. Aint nobody got time for that.
Thank you for your comment.
