I ran it June before the appocalypse

If it ends up not being the culprit, kinda yeah. I'm just saying, try some less disruptive troubleshooting first.

True, but I would confirm a device is compromised before nuking the OS, not just do it willy-nilly because maybe it could be. A better way to phrase what OP is asking is: what are some ways to troubleshoot this without making a ton of potentially unnecessary work for myself?

...to which I would say, run a netstat on any systems that you can, check those IP's against WHOIS and/or traceroute. Anything that traces to Eastern Europe, Russia, China, most of SEA is a red flag. Dig a little deeper with Wireshark or Glasswire to inspect some actual packets for suspicious content. I think there's a network logger that can trace the process using a given connection, but the name eludes me).

Find your smoking gun, then torch the OS.

I think you meant Britnied Speared.

To be fair, factory resets are a huge pain in the ass. Might as well try other things before busting out the nuclear option.

Because ignoring all the bad stuff makes it go away /s

Maybe take a look in the mirror and realize your toxic positivity.

I really doubt they'd do that either.

That may be technically true, but both TLDs are ubiquitous and it's extraordinarily unlikely that the US will suddenly start confiscating millions of .com and .net domain names operated by non-Americans.

No, that's not what I'm saying; I'm well aware of Google caching. I'm saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.

What the fuck.

I used Power Delete Suite to edit and delete my comment history. My profile shows nothing, but I just did a Google search for my reddit /u/ and my comments are still showing in the threads.

Fuck you spez and fuck you reddit.

My thoughts exactly. Reddit was an immensely widespread and unique collection of so many vibrant niche communities that has grown over nearly two decades and was wilfully destroyed in mere weeks.

I can't blame anyone who mourns the loss and resents the greedy pigfucker that killed it.

I have little doubt that MAGA republichudism was wholely responsible for the KKKonvoy rallies that cost the Canadian economy literally billions of dollars in a matter of days with their illegal blockades.

I'd be remiss if I didn't quote one of my favorite saved comments from that-content-aggregator-which-shall-not-be-named...

Dude grow up...

We did it with smallpox

We did it with polio

We did it with measles

I've got an "almost" centenarian in the family. Dude grew up watching German zeppelins on the front line of invasion, his folks were both mostly bald from the Spanish flu. When he immigrated to Canada (on a boat) he had to get another round of vaccinations even though he had the full onslaught in the army while babysitting German POWs as they removed landmines from the beaches of his home country. Ask anyone 75+ how many of their childhood friends died from what are now preventable diseases.

If you think the shit were taking now is untested, what the hell do you think they were handing out back in the 20s and 50s.......

Have you ever traveled abroad? Like not to London, or Tokyo or somewhere nice.... But to somewhere shitty like Bangladesh, Nigeria, or Guinea? Do you have any idea how many people die in these countries every year from preventable diseases? You do know that even as a Canadian you legit cant board an aircraft in or out of these places without at the VERY least a yellow fever card right? Before vaccines it was pretty common for a boat to have to sit for a few weeks in quarantine at the destination before people were allowed to disembark... This is not new, this is not unique, this is not something to fuck around with.

Sit down, shut up, and take your medicine you spoiled little shit.

I'll give you 69 guesses

TBH, it's even better that it's tooting along

Oh ha ha, here I thought it looked like those gangly things were appendages it was using to run across the ocean floor, but I guess it's just seaweed stuck to the shell?

I've watched this a dozen times and I still have no idea what's going on

It's like it went into malicious compliance mode and was all like, you didn't say LIVE salmon!

Of course it links to the domain that's probably about to die in short order. This is why open source can't have nice things.

lol as the "adblocking addicts" quality shitpost. Even bigger lol at Google's dipshittery for even thinking this was a remotely good idea in the first place.
