It should be possible to download the audio files directly from archive.org, using a browser.

You should also say/yell "I do not consent!", because it's illegal to search or arrest someone without their consent. It was a popular spell a few years ago, but I don't see it being used much anymore, so it's possible that the cops have found a counterspell. 😉

Not an expert, but the only thing I can imagine is that it's related to certificates or keypairs used for encrypted communication / authentication. Afaik ssl certificates can be issued to a given company, for example, and might become invalid when that company no longer exists. Or it becomes impossible to issue new ones.

Something in that vein, maybe.

I saw that on some TV show years ago - Microsoft was obviously sponsoring since every laptop and phone had a windows logo on it, and at one point one character said to another "Just Bing it!" (in a context where you'd normally say "just google it")

Had a similar thing at work not long ago.

A newly deployed version of a component in our system was only partially working, and the failures seemed to be random. It's a distributed system, so the error could be in many places. After reading the logs for a while I realized that only some messages were coming through (via a message queue) to this component, which made no sense. The old version (on a different server) had been stopped, I had verified it myself days earlier.

Turns out that the server with the old version had been rebooted in the meantime, therefore the old component had started running again, and was listening to the same message queue! So it was fairly random which one actually received each message in the queue 😂

Problem solved by stopping the old container again and removing it completely so it wouldn't start again at the next boot.

When Hillary called him a puppet controlled by Russia his response was "no puppet, you're the puppet!"

What, does he have a coup for one special?

Maybe he has a... coupon...?

I'm a Norwegian Linux enthusiast and have never heard anything about the government using Ubuntu or Linux. Seems unlikely, from what I know. I know that within healthcare Windows is still widely used, even on the server side...

On the other hand, a lot of software for official services is being developed as open source now, so that's at least a good step in the right direction. Example: https://github.com/navikt

You should remove the executable permission, see my other reply. Movie files should never be executable, but directories should be.

chmod -R -x+X * should do the trick, that will remove the executable permission on all files, and set it on directories.
