Dd if=/(name of drive) Bs=1 Of=/( name of drive to copy to include the path Conv=notrunc

Create a directory and a file on the target machine first a name like /myfile/this file Then to create a bit by bit copy of that file use this command Something like this Dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1 of=/dev/sdc/myfile/thisfile.iso conv=notrunc


I’d use gddrescue - it logs what it’s successfully read, so you can try multiple drives. And there should be some way of reading the dvd / volume title from a script.


Why set the block size to 1? Isn't that just going to cause a ridiculous amount of syscalls?


Yah, and be incredibly slow as well. It should be at a minimum 32K which is the DVD block size, but even larger would be better (but may interleave badly with IO to other devices).


It should be 2048 which is DVD sector size.


Because of ECC it doesn't read a single sector at a time. And actually even 32K is not large enough for good performance, you should go higher, maybe 1MB.


That does not deal with DRM


does it need to? from the source material it sounds like there should not be any DRM on it, but even if, does DRM prevent a bitwise copy of a media? if not, you can deal with DRM after making the copy.


It was mentioned elsewhere - some drives will randomly flip bits in order to make bitwise copies impossible if you just start copying. A software that can actually correctly work with the CD/DVD drive is necessary.


Excuse me but, what are you talking about here?


Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?


It really depends on the exact location of the cops. As a younger person I personally witnessed local police use those vehicles in ways that were very much overkill. I've also personally winessed those same police officers lie " on the stand" in court to " make" thier case and the judge always buys it. Doesn't take a genius to understand that there is a huge problem with law enforcement in the US. Isn't this a thread about Google?


FYI instead of the recipe in that ancient Rome I have personal experience that 30 grams of clean washed seeds ground up in a blender to " black pepper " consistency then mixed into a ice cream shake ( in the same blender) will produce a desirable result. Collect the seeds yourself , this plant is a weed in cali, it's everywhere and once you have learned to identify it you will be happy you did I've had the best luck with the brilliant violet colored flowers although there is a cream colored variety that works well too, it's just not as agressive as a noxious weed as the violet type. The cream colored variety is a much smaller vine


Anarchist cookbook also said that nutmeg would make you fry. Didn't work though for me, However thier morning Glory seed recipe was right on the money


The nutmeg thing is true, but you do have to eat a considerable amount of freshly ground stuff, which is revolting. And it's not a good trip, either.


That, and the stuff is straight-up toxic in the kinds of doses that can get you high.

Most deliriants/anticholinergics are toxic at the doses you need to take for strong psychoactive effects.

It's a dangerous game to play around with such substances. Very interesting results however if you're willing to take the plunge. You have full-fledged hallucinations of objects and events, and dear god the spiders.


It has a reason this not popular.


Similar to "Steal this Book" and its advice on marijuana:

> There are two other ways that we know work to increase the potency of grass you grow or buy. One consists of digging a hole and burying a stash of grass wrapped in a plastic bag. A few months in the ground will produce a mouldy grass that is far fuckin' out. A quick method is to get a hunk of dry ice, put it in a metal container or box with a tight lid (taping the lid airtight helps), and sprinkling the grass on top. Allow it to sit tightly covered for about three days until all the dry ice evaporates.


> produce a mouldy grass that is far fuckin' out

Smoking mouldy weed is a very bad idea. I get this was mean to be a prank, but people (OK, idiots) trying this could end up with serious health issues because of this.

Oh, now that's just mean.


because it will explode?


Not only will it explode, scattering their stash to the four winds (or all over the floor), but most people who'd fall for that are probably teenagers and most likely end up drawing parental attention to their experimentation. So they'll blow up their stash and get themselves busted all at once.


Morning glory contains LSA a precursor to lsd

I've had Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds a few times. Pretty cool.


How did you manage the nausea?


It would pass quickly enough for me and was never so bad my buddy or I had to vomit. And my prep was just to smash them up small and slowly chew the hard bitter little pieces. Maybe 4-8 seeds in one go.


Lifelong sufferer of various addictions here. I've kicked most but one thing I want to say is most addicts I've known. (myself included) are so worried about " how they feel" It's very helpful to an addict to just put those " feelings" aside and get on with your life. Not trying to sound like Nancy Reagan but stop being such a pussycat and grab ahold of life Just say no Edit, your feelings aren't that important. Get a life, Without an addiction


It's ridiculous all thru Cali One bedroom==1k Even in the outskirts towns Edit, that's per month


If this device works in a certain percentage of users, what is the problem? Pain sufferers have further options i.e. opiates As one who's been in this exact situation it seems very good that there is a partially workable option. If it causes other issues they can fall back to the other ( opiate ) treatments


Basic ethics? Seriously, think through the implications of allowing companies to sell medical treatment that don't mention the risks.


I would assume that in the US as with the UK with any implanted device/surgery the doctor/surgeon goes through the risks.

I have done this several times in the UK - oh and one of the most serious ones was 1/5000 chance of death :-)


That old maxim rings true: Fake it till you make it.


It's good that some famous person is getting hit with this.maybe it will create doubt within the court system that we all may benefit from.
