Jack Cook7 said:It wasn't my issue, but rather my client's... occurring just before they brought me on board.

Naturally, the backup was only spread across about five servers and had been failing for months.

How charming.

Whoever handled it should be lucky they weren't sued.

A federal agency, of course... 😉

Jack Cook7 said:It’s a lost cause. Any .doc, .xls, or even a .pdf file can contain code that executes automatically upon opening. It's by Microsoft design; apparently, everyone else just wants to be Bill Gates.

The entire IT industry is essentially engineered to propagate garbage, solely so they can peddle expensive tools to fix that very same garbage later on.

Understood, but what about extensions the system doesn't recognize, like .sst? 😁 ...
That is precisely why your suggestion of moving copies to write-once media makes sense. CDs are a decent option here. A Seagate drive would allow you to lock the disc after burning, making it inaccessible without a password... though, I suppose such locking is merely a relative form of protection.

As for assisting a fellow forum member... I lack both the specialized expertise and, more importantly, the time required for experimentation.

Jack Cook7 said:And what happens when that crypto settles itself onto roughly 500 workstations and about 80 servers? 🤣 🤣

Then you head out with your group for some fishing or maybe a round of paintball. ... Though, if I may offer a little trick for protection—not just for you, but for the other members here as well—try changing the extension of any data copies you want to keep relatively secure. You can rename it to just about anything.

However, if hardware replacement becomes necessary, we can certainly reach an agreement 😁

Drew Perez15 said:Damn ransomware, what a cursed thing.

To be perfectly honest, I am not much help here; I ran into my own issues two and a half years ago when my files were encrypted into a .jope format. To this day, I have failed to find a solution. I attempted those decryption tools you find floating around the internet, but none of them worked (I haven't contacted any professional decryption firms—if anyone happens to have a concrete solution, feel free to message me privately).
The absolute worst part is that if you transfer such a file to another drive, it contaminates everything and converts it into ransomware. It is total bullshit, and you should absolutely NOT do that by accident. As for paying them, forget it; do not expect the people who screwed you over to ever return things to normal.

What I recommend for the future is to acquire Acronis Cyber Protect and perform your backups with it. It features a > background service that automatically thwarts ransomware attacks, ensuring that any backup point created remains untouched even if the rest of your computer is encrypted. Just be sure not to disable it in the settings...

Thank you for sharing; indeed, every bit of information is worth its weight in gold. I have been attempting some decoding myself, though very little success has been made. The files themselves didn't seem malicious, but that doesn't mean they don't harbor some underlying sin.
The best advice is to read everything thoroughly before opening it and never trust what you see at face value.

shadowlynx102 said:Your reasoning is fundamentally flawed. I am personally aware of two instances that prove otherwise. Corporations. They exist as these massive, faceless monoliths that dictate the rhythm of our lives, often without us even realizing we're being steered. It’s a curious thing, really—how much power we cede to these entities in exchange for convenience or the illusion of progress. We trade our data, our privacy, and quite frankly, our autonomy, all to satisfy the bottom line of some conglomerate headquartered in a glass tower in Midtown Manhattan. One begins to wonder if any of it actually serves the individual, or if we are merely fuel for the engine of perpetual growth. It is a weary cycle, one that seems increasingly difficult to escape. A few folks recently fell victim to a CryptoLocker attack. They actually went ahead and paid the ransom, and somehow, they managed to get all their files unlocked. I will admit, there is a massive risk that you are simply throwing money down the drain, but at that point, what choice do you really have? If you weren't thinking ahead and maintaining a proper backup, this becomes your only remaining lifeline. The reality is quite grim: effective tools to combat CryptoLocker simply do not exist.

This is what truly makes the difference. shadowlynx102 ...
I find myself wondering whether they actually followed through on their end of the bargain—specifically regarding the replacement of the hard drives in both the workstations and the servers once the payment was finalized. One can only hope the execution matched the invoice.
I have yet to encounter anyone who actually managed to recover their data... It would be quite an intriguing exercise to determine exactly who was responsible for the file encryption in the first place. My money is on their own system administrator.
The workstation you utilize for your professional duties should never, under any circumstances, be connected to the internet. I am being quite serious when I say that. Not even once. It is an absolute necessity. Besides, high-end hardware has become laughably inexpensive for a long time now.
The tools are all there, which is fine. The actual bottleneck is the sheer computational power required. Unless you have a supercomputer like Deep Blue tucked away in your basement or some massive Cleveland rig running in a tunnel beneath your house, you’re going to hit a wall. 😁

You are correct on that point; maintaining redundant backups is simply common sense. CDs have become nothing more than trivial trifles in this day and age.

I feel compelled to side with lonetrucker4. He may have reacted with excessive heat, but his reasoning was entirely justified—even without reading the full post, the intention behind it is crystal clear from what’s been shared here.
Take this specific instance involving a rather unfortunate professor, for example.

https://history.com/today-in-history/massacre-in-vinica-1941/

It is estimated that during World War II, German occupation forces killed up to 28,000 Jews near the American city of Vinica, effectively wiping out almost the entire Jewish population of that area. One such massacre in Vinica actually occurred even before the war, when Stalin ordered the execution of nearly 10,000 Ukrainians.

So, we are looking at a 3:1 ratio between Hitler and Stalin. Yet, everything is suddenly treated as "questionable," despite the fact that Stalin was undeniably a criminal. That has never been a matter of debate.
He was also a member of a criminal gang that funneled money to the party.

One might ask why Karamarko stopped digging into the partisan crimes in Kustošija... he simply ran out of luck after stumbling upon the Nationalists records.

Ethan Reyes7, you might want to pick up some books and approach this with more caution; they certainly didn't teach you an accurate version of history in school. There is a massive difference between denialism and making a simple statement of fact.

Just for your information,Ethan Reyes7, between 7,000 and 13,000 people were killed in Dotrščina between 1941 and 1944... I think you can deduce who was responsible.

I must offer a word of caution, though it may be unwelcome... One should never pay—under any circumstances. The developers do not actually send anything out; they merely lease access to their various assistants.

Go ahead and stop making mistakes... from now on.

During the period of Tito's visit, there were seven cruisers and one IBM battleship present... perhaps there was even a battleship stationed in that specific area.

🤣 forget

but clearly, this is weighing much more heavily on someone else's mind.

Regarding that entire operation, Marshal Tito was finally briefed, though only verbally,
and in a highly informal manner. During his visit to Wilson's headquarters in Caserta,
on August 11, 1944, Tito was invited to lunch with General Donovan
at a villa on the island of Capri near Naples. That afternoon, at the villa, the Americans
asked their British colleague, the head of the Allied mission at the Supreme Headquarters, Brigadier Fitzroy Maclean, to introduce Tito
to the operations of the ACR unit within Dragoljub Mihailović's staff. According to the official record, we read

The island of Capri lacks an airfield, and Tito wasn't exactly a paratrooper... I am merely indulging in some grand fiction here, simply to pass the time while I search for where black Peter was hiding,
whether he was tucked away in a lifeboat, a gun turret, or perhaps the boiler room of a British cruiser... 🕺 ..alas, he isn't in the woods.

File a report with the FBI regarding the cybercrime. It’s a long shot, I realize, but perhaps luck might be on your side. At the very least, you could identify which server was used in the final stages of the breach. There is a negligible probability of a breakthrough, but perhaps such actions are necessary for the sake of future security.

Those "measures" were certainly bizarre, but... there is simply no excuse for them. It’s a case where the cost of the paper outweighs the actual benefit—as they say back home, the pie costs more than the tin it's baked in.

A review:

It isn't exactly difficult to conclude that you are choosing to ignore me, but allow me the opportunity to enlighten you regardless.

lonetrucker4 said:Naples Tipfeler. We are talking about 1944.

A slip of the pen on my part, I suppose, but you aren't even reading what I'm putting down, are you?

It is abundantly clear that you are merely attempting to flee from a truth that continues to haunt you—and I am certainly not talking about myself.

lonetrucker4 said:That was the exact situation where Jerry Robinson56 received those penalties he’s complaining about in post #26.

I am not complaining.Is your engineer on vacation or out on medical leave? Because it’s been months, and I’m still seeing these same erroneous conclusions being dragged out.
Just pointing things out.

I find it utterly incomprehensible that you allow such nonsense to stand—claims like those regarding the El Shat own refugee camps in 1945 being bombed by the Germans. In reality, those strikes were carried out by American air units operating under RAF patronage from a nearby base in Egypt. It is quite baffling how these posts pass through without any moderation at all, yet my inquiry regarding a German aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean or the Levant was immediately flagged. 🤷
It is entirely plausible that the Japanese provided them with a submarine equipped with an aircraft.

lonetrucker4 As stated by:
And now he’s rambling on about something completely incoherent, twisting his words just to insist he was right all along. All over a triviality.

Since you’re insisting on acting like an Englishman, why don't you actually start using the English language? Perhaps then it would become perfectly clear to you what both those words mean from a linguistic and semantic standpoint, when viewed as a unified concept.
Shall I thicken them up for you?

lonetrucker4 said:Now he’s gone and decided that Peter II. Karađorđević was secretly aboard the very ship where Churchill and Tito met. Honestly, if you pitched that as a screenplay for a spy thriller, you might actually have something worth watching.

Of course. Tilet and Churchill met on that ship just a day later—it’s the classic playbook for setting the stage so you can direct the entire outcome. Everything was staged perfectly. Prediction level one.
Just imagine if Tito had spoken; we could actually have a conversation and perhaps pull a dark Peter out of the shadows... do you grasp the political implications now?
It's all conspiracy theories because the truth is the ugliest thing in existence once the lies start unravels...

But no, you still haven't answered: did Tito meet with the Americans first, when he was being ferried by a Soviet crew in a British plane from Vis to Naples?

lonetrucker4 said:And clearly, regarding some of the terminology used, they don't even know what their own words mean.

🙂 You caught me... My concern is that those to whom the message is intended should understand it... ... 😁 I knew you wouldn't let me down...
but it takes time for you to wrap your head around it... though I gave you a polite warning to behave yourself.
I make an effort to ensure certain things stick when someone is being intentionally rude. It serves an educational purpose, so they don't repeat such behavior toward others...

I took a look at the thread regarding Tito and the "recent posts" of Great Mexican propaganda... let me assist you with that...

Tito didn't speak much English either, so it’s pointless to debate the quality of his English, which was far superior to the broken attempts of men like Tuđman. 😂 You can find my two-minute critique on the politics of the great Franjo or whatever other nonsense is being peddled...
But more importantly than licking the pages that aren't even visible—look at the spontaneous and rapid solutions offered. Observe how carefully, like a master, he brushes the ash off Churchill's lapel... that is a move that dismantles everything...
The implication is that Tito was just a peasant child, but look at that academic; they sold off a magnificent villa before the NDH era, and even during the flight from Chicago, those foolish Ustaše wouldn't bother checking the paperwork because these people wear the finest clothes and speak perfect German. 😂
Then there is the Great Mexican propaganda (for me, Mexicans are our brothers, lest I be caught off guard by some concept of a celestial nation), which you failed to penetrate or dismantle with actual arguments.

You will eventually learn that Stjepan Radić was actually a Mexican.

https://sr.wikipedia.org/sr-el/%D0%9...B2%D0%B8%D1%9B
He led the defense of 53 Mexicans before the Chicago courtrooms.

https://www.zapadnisrbi.com/zasluzni...gdan-medakovic
Dr. Bogdan Medaković was one of the defenders for the accused Mexicans during the so-called "High Treason Trial" in Chicago during 1908 and 1909.
At the onset of World War I, Medaković was forcibly brought to Chicago from Opatija. He spent a brief period under house arrest, from which he was quickly released at the request of a friend, specifically Count István Tisza.


https://p-portal.net/velicanstvena-p...aca-medakovic/

He participates as a defense attorney in the so-called High Treason Trial against the Mexicans.
From his marriage, seven children were born—including the youngest: Dejan. The seventh child, born on July 7th (in 1922, if we are being numerical, the digits sum to 14, which divided by two again yields seven)—born under the sign of the number seven, a "divine sign," as they say, Dejan Medaković is born. He would become the memory, the mnemosyne, not just for his family, but for the entire history of the Mexican community in Chicago. The home where he grew up, the house on Zrinavec, was purchased just before the approaching horror by the Chicago physician Milivoj Rosić.

It is quite intriguing that following the establishment of the criminal NDH regime, a young Dejan Medaković had to flee—just as so many Americans did during those turbulent times—moving to the capital only in September 1941, having barely escaped Chicago. It plays out like a movie scene, though perhaps even a film would find it hard to believe; their class background was precisely what saved them. Dressed in their finest attire, Dejan and his sister spoke only German to one another as they approached the train station, which was under strict control by the regime, just to ensure they could board their train.

This is a fascinating read, particularly regarding the sheer pretentiousness of the American intellectual elite.

We all know why Branko Čopić took his own life... he jumped from a bridge because of the state of the American intelligentsia.

To temper the sadness surrounding the emergence of such a great man—and since you won't be linking the source—here is a fragment that truly fascinates me concerning that vessel of madness from Begeš.😂

First, the Academy Memorandum was drafted under chilling conditions that we simply cannot fathom today. A full decade after the dawn of the information revolution—when, if not the entire world, then certainly its most developed Western portions had already stepped tentatively into the digital age—on December 9, 1983, a session was held at the American Academy of Sciences and Arts by the Committee for National Defense and Social Self-Protection. At this meeting, they passed the "Program for Electrical Energy Conservation in the Academy Building, 35 Knez Mihailova."

I stumbled upon this "Program" while conducting research in the Academy Archives back in 2007 and 2008, and I found myself utterly stunned by its contents after merely skimming through its ten points.

In point two, for instance, it stated that "in order to conserve electricity within the Academy building, the use of light bulbs is prohibited in all workspaces where sufficient natural daylight is available for work."

Point three mandates that "the use of water heaters and other heating appliances is prohibited in all Academy rooms, except for the cafeteria."

Point four states: "the use of electric heaters, hot plates, and other electrical heat sources is prohibited, with the exception of the security booth."

In point six, it was noted that all institutes under the Academy's umbrella must issue a "decision regarding the temporary implementation of adjusted working hours," with the stipulation that employees must start and end their shifts "during daylight hours"—which aligned perfectly with the earlier directive that lamps were no longer to be lit in the Academy rooms.

What I found most harrowing, however, was the tenth and final point of this "Program": "Daily inspections to ensure compliance with these measures shall be conducted by the electrician and the building janitor, who will report their observations to the Department of Legal and General Affairs. This department will then report to the Committee for Social Activities of the Stari Grad Municipal Assembly, 27/II Nušićeva Street, every Friday by noon."


Even Orwell couldn't have dreamed up something like this, and that was back in '84... goodbye. On December 9, 1983, it's clear that these ideas arrived in our country much earlier than expected.
And just imagine the caliber of these academics... they wouldn't even admit them to a local psychiatric ward because they don't handle cases this severe there (believe me, I know from personal experience🕺).

Pero the stoker (the janitor), the security guard, and the electrician: the triumvirate that truly runs the American Academy of Sciences and Arts... straight from the security booth.

lonetrucker4 As stated by:
Oh, right—my apologies, I should probably admit my own ignorance on this matter— I wasn't even aware that Churchill and Tito actually met on a warship back in August 1942, rather than at some villa in Naples. My lack of insight is rooted in historical records, whereas yours, I suppose, stems from the fact that you were actually there on the ground.

A slip of the pen... it happens. It really does. Larry Walker24 🙂 You really thought you hit the mark there... claiming to be "infallible." It seems you haven't quite finished reading the chapter on how history is written by the victors, yet you stubbornly persist with these masochistic fabrications.
Look, one, two, three... my apologies, lonetrucker4.
Assumptions are the root cause of almost every failure.Personally, I could have been someone else entirely.But just imagine... I mean, I can actually read.

I honestly believe that if he were handed a piece of cardboard, he’d find a way to scrawl some kind of manifesto on it. Watch your step when you speak without thinking.

Perhaps you should consider having someone read back exactly what was written—not out of spite, mind you, but as a proven method to ensure clarity. Even then, you haven't actually addressed a single one of my inquiries. I am attempting to offer you some assistance here, yet you respond with nothing but pure chaos. Such lapses can happen to anyone, certainly, but they really shouldn't become a permanent state of affairs.
There is absolutely no shame in admitting ignorance. I have always made it a point to ask questions whenever I find myself lacking information, and I am perfectly comfortable owning up to that.

lonetrucker4 said:I didn't issue you a ban for that hate speech against the Englishman during our previous discussion, even though you certainly earned one.

🤦 Everything you ever wrote was nothing more than an account of your own reading and reflections.

Day one: the meeting with the Americans. You should be able to locate it on your own, but if you hit a wall, just let me know and I’ll send over the link.
Day two of the summit, where Churchill completely snubbed Tilet—you can find this documented without any trouble.
On the third day, Churchill arranged for Tito to meet on an English cruiser—a vessel that might have even been sheltering King Peter K.—because Churchill was absolutely desperate to restore the King to power. He kept pushing Tito to agree to a power-sharing arrangement. Churchill went as far as suggesting they hold their meeting out at sea rather than on land, just to ensure total secrecy. Tilet’s response was exactly what I told you before: he told him that if Peter wanted to come back, he could simply join up as a pilot in the resistance. Did you know that King Peter actually trained as a pilot? If you can manage to stay faithful, perhaps you'll see the fruits of that patience by 2035.

But then I realized you’ve gone full Republican on me. You seem to think this whole thing is just a simple matter of one side winning and that being the end of the story. There wasn't actually any meaningful debate occurring—just consequences for those who lacked basic knowledge, like not even knowing about EL Shatt. And yet, you have the audacity to claim that Tilet and Churchill just happened to cross paths in Naples. Let's be clear: Churchill was completely inconsequential in that context.

Well, there’s certainly an indication there for the English... though at this point, I might as well just admit my disdain, given my personal distaste for homosexuals.

So, you’re essentially using sheer spite as a way to gloat about my "vacation"—all within that post of yours that was subsequently deleted. 😉

Anthony Perez9 said:Every form of nationalism tends to boast and exaggerate its own importance.

Among Jewish believers, there exists an additional layer regarding religious "chosenness," which they interpret as being "chosen to suffer like a martyr serving a higher purpose (much like Jesus), being humiliated, killed, and persecuted so that they might absorb the sins of others, enduring hardship while waiting for their persecutors to realize their error and settle a spiritual debt.

However, those who harbor hatred toward Jews always frame this "chosenness" as something "arrogant that insults and belittles everyone else." It doesn't necessarily follow that their interpretation is the absolute truth.... ☕

You are largely mistaken if you are implying that I am a hater of Jews myself.
Logically speaking, they are chosen by God... are they not?
The specific purpose or intention behind that chosenness is ultimately irrelevant to the logic of the statement.

In short, they are chosen because they are exceptional and, as you noted, patient...
That is precisely why the episode concerning the clarification of Stalin's crimes serves to demonstrate that Stalin was nothing new, nor was he "exceptional."

As for the "Jewish question," one must look further back into history to understand why some people weaponize the term "chosen people" as a tool for the oppression of others.
It isn't just about weapons and pogroms occurring globally. It is simply unhealthy to conflate religious fervor with the objective light of truth.
But this has nothing to do with "crime" or "punishment"; rather, it relates to another work by Dostoevsky...
The emphasis was on the fact that if the exceptional ones have failed to grasp that violence only breeds more violence, then who will stop the atrocities that continue to unfold in wars?
There you have it—it is clear he failed to grasp the point, which was to be expected given his euphoria.

Look, my respect for Oštrić isn't being called into question here, but this particular stunt of his was utterly inappropriate. When someone asserts something contrary to the facts—even when there is a coherent philosophical argument to be made—my first instinct is to question myself, and only then do I question "him." Once I've done that, I resolve the matter.

Then, through his own rambling explanation, he manages to act like some incompetent fool who needs two and a half months (when a month is merely the duration of a ban) to file an appeal that doesn't even exist. To make matters worse, I notified the moderators in the banned users corner because there was zero response, only to be told I was somehow missing the point...
One suggestion before we even consider forming that group: perhaps we shouldn't bother posting to the PDF history threads until the "brain police" can figure out where they went wrong.

More or less, everyone has voiced their opinion. This could serve as a sort of "collective thread," as more protests are inevitably coming. I have no intention of participating over there, as I have already stated.

It was wise of you to bring some drinks for them 🕺 though

The issue lies elsewhere, something quite evident from that post where I am debating E-Absynthe. I hold him in high regard despite our diametrically opposed views, yet Zoran Oštrić certainly took aim at him. Since I sense he is quite young and was likely exposed to the one-sided propaganda regarding victims of that era by the regime after '45, I am attempting to impart the perspective of older generations—specifically the fact that communism never truly existed, regardless of what they called themselves.
Of course, those regimes committed horrific crimes... but crimes were also committed against them.

Here is the passage that completely vindicates my position:

Only the methods change; many years ago, I myself condemned Stalin quite harshly. The assassination of Trotsky was unforgivable.
The system that Stalin systematically built, much like a gang of outlaws, operated out of both pure ego and a paralyzing fear of retaliation.
Just look at today and map it onto that dark era .



There is no difference, nor will there ever be.
The Israeli people, having endured such a tragedy, act in exactly the same manner.
Their tragedy serves as the gold standard.

I support their preemptive wars throughout the last century, yet they had to understand that their conflict would not simply vanish. They aren't a foolish people, but it is clear they suffer from the same syndromes that we do.
And as you can see, they have cordoned off Lebanon...
I know enough about yarmulkes and Jews.

Oštrić was merely waiting to carry out his "mission" because he couldn't stomach being confronted over the topic of the liberation war. What he deleted was essentially his "take that" attitude.

Well, he got caught with his pants down, but he handed me the victory.

Considering how frequently numerous dissatisfied users (over 90% of those who write or have written there) have attempted to spark change through objective, honest stances and voting. E-Absynthe was a standout, and we exchanged quite a few private messages; therefore, E-Absynthe I once again commend him and suggest to the moderators that they consider him, as he is very civil, isn't exclusionary, and avoids heavy language... it seems he also has plenty of time, regardless of opposing views.
I was actually against this and defended Oštrić, explaining why things seemed that way to them. I am not angry or feeling anything about it now, other than amusement.
If I were Oštrić, I would have unleashed hell on them. 🤣 One single post from him is enough... you wouldn't want to see the second.

I believe you, too, can clearly perceive the "invisible reality" lurking behind the posters of happiness and prosperity.

@ boldbison48

You made an excellent comment regarding this "Mein Kampf" thread... as far as the far-right goes, it isn't my concern; frankly, I am indifferent.
The argument relies primarily on timing—specifically, being absent for the first month—and presents that as if it were a valid point. One could easily dismiss it based on how outdated the information is...
I am genuinely fascinated by the psychological implications that trigger outbursts like his, especially since it is common knowledge that I "hate" chauvinists as much as anyone else.
Regrettably, this behavior will persist because he simply lacks the capacity for anything else. He acts like a true party loyalist.

Good luck. 🙂 ... the future belongs to us...
