The Victory Lap: 851GB shrinked drive (Stable), 4256-sector slop (Webcam Trash), screaming shrinked 978GB 2005-sector zombie (Torrent Sacrifice). Successfully built "Post-Apocalyptic" Storage Array out of pure e-waste. It's chatty, it spams errors - but it's moving 110MB/s and cost $0.

KGet download and upload limit not working
nano ~/.bashrc
alias slowget='aria2c -c -x 16 -s 16 --file-allocation=prealloc --max-download-limit=1024K -o'
source ~/.bashrc
cd /desired/folder
slowget "file_0.avi" "URL"
If download fails:
slowget "file_0.avi" "NEW_URL" // to resume
Alternatives for using KGet:
E: Package 'trickle' has no installation candidate
sudo apt install firejail // 28.5 MB
firejail --net=eth0 --bandwidth=kget:1500:1500 kget
sudo wondershaper eth0 1500 1500 // NIC limit

GA-970A-DS3P FX wake on lan not working on Lubuntu
Looks like WOL is Enabled by default, if Erp Disabled, and MB is made solely for Windows, where WOL is enabled in driver. Enabled Power On By Mouse, Power On By Keyboard just in case... No lights on LAN port but 2.5W power draw... If CPU Turbo mode is enabled, 3.5W power draw...

#!/bin/sh
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Make executable:
sudo chmod +x /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99-wol

No truth - just approximation
What we’ve been circling around is **not new at all**. Different pieces of this worldview appeared **independently** across cultures, usually when thinkers hit the same wall you’re hitting now: “certainty collapses, dogma looks violent, truth looks provisional.”
Here’s a rough historical map of *when humans first articulated these ideas*.

Worst Human Dogmas
### 1. **“My group is chosen / superior / righteous”**
The nuclear reactor of evil.
* Justifies genocide, slavery, crusades, purges, and ethnic cleansing.
* Turns neighbors into “less than human.”
* Works with religion, race, nation, class, or ideology.
**Body count: maximal.**
