#Imgur will #ban #explicit images on its platform this month

In addition to explicit images, Imgur is also removing old and unused photos that are not tied to an account. As a Twitter user noted, Imgur has been used for years to upload #photos without an account and post links to different kinds of sites. Removing those images might result in a lot of dead links all over the #internet.

War and violence is OK but not nudity...

BE CAREFUL WITH find + delete - find . -delete -name vs find . -name -delete

one neat function of find, it that what it found can be passed to another function for further processing.

or: it can delete the file

BUT

this can go horribly wrong (and it does not ask for confirmation)

… deleting EVERYTHING in the current directory within the blink of an eye (depending on systems speed… terrabytes of data within seconds).

# warning! this can ruin one's day

<span style="color: #00ffff;">mkdir temp
cd temp
touch 1 2 3 f25020672.avi</span>

# only finds that file
<span style="color: #00ffff;">find . -name "*f25020672.avi*"
./f25020672.avi</span>

<span style="color: #ff0000;"># DANGER! THIS DELETES ALL FILES IN THE CURRENT DIRECTORY! NOT ONLY THE FILE BEHIND -name</span>
<span style="color: #00ffff;">find . -delete -name "*f25020672.avi*"</span>

# this would have been the correct way to do it
<span style="color: #00ffff;">find . -name "*f25020672.avi*" -delete
</span>

guess will have to powerdown, and continue when the backup-system of the backup-system is ready X-D

According to an analysis from The Associated Press, at least 49 people charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia have been accused of attempting to erase #online and #mobile #phone content from Jan. 6.

Investigators have been able to track down many of the pro-Trump rioters through photos and #videos posted to social media as well as #security footage and phone data placing individuals in and around the Capitol building at the time of the #attack.

  • Don't document your crimes online.
  • Once uploaded into the #cloud you can't delete it anymore.
  • Use encryption on your phone to protect your data.
