Happy Feast Day of St. Josemaria Escriva!
"Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call."
— St. Josemaria Escriva

What if... What if it's an inside job?

An executive coordinates with a threat actor to hit right before the earnings call.
riiiiiiip
But they only get initial access and a basic neutered payload.
exhale
Then the stock price goes down and the company and shareholders can buy them up cheap.
long sigh
Then the executive pays the TA and the security team magically contains the incident with no real impact.

@kevincollier some stores are simply closed, others have reduced hours.
Supply chains are pretty fragile right now, and have been for at least a quarter century.

US economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.5% during the first quarter of 2025, according to the final GDP report from the Commerce Department. Meanwhile, consumer spending fell to its lowest level since the pandemic ended.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified that businesses stockpiling inventory before tariffs took effect has helped delay any inflationary impacts.

So, I did a thing - accidentally selected my 5TB external NTFS hard drive (encrypted with VeraCrypt) as the target for writing an ISO. The moment I noticed that "Impression" had switched the drive letter, I immediately killed the process. But yeah… damage done.
Now, the situation:
- Currently shows up as:
- 6 MB FAT
- 4.3 GB
- 2 TB unallocated
- 2.6TB unallocated
- The VeraCrypt volume obviously no longer mounts.
- Drive was somewhat crucial - lots of structured data I’d really prefer to recover with the original file system intact.
I know chances are slim, especially with encrypted volumes, but has anyone had luck recovering from something like this? I’m open to commercial recovery tools or command-line wizardry. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been down this road.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Any computer-touchers looking for a job? The Cambridge Computer Lab is looking for a mostly Linux sysadmin. Great place to work, I still pop in sometimes, but don’t let that put you off!
EDIT: I believe this requires the ability to be physically in Cambridge (UK) at least some of the time. I am not sure if they can sponsor visas for this job, but they often can.
Second edit: Apparently I was tired when I posted this and completely failed to include the link to the job. Ooops!
Third edit: I am not involved in hiring for this job. My current affiliation with the institution in question is 'Visiting Researcher'. This means that they keep a desk that I can use (when no one else is using it) and I periodically turn up and hang out with people there. I cannot answer questions related to the job other than to say that it's working with a group of people I choose to visit when I can. There is an email address in the job ad for questions.

Considering switching to Linux, but I have many questions.
OpenOffice has seen essentially no development since 2011, when the trademark got transferred to Oracle after they bought Sun Microsystems.
The project got forked into LibreOffice to dodge the trademark issue, but it's the same devs, practically the same project, but now under a non-profit organization. Well, and with 14 more years of development.
So, use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. It will most likely come pre-installed on whichever Linux distro you go with. But you can also try it out on Windows beforehand, if you have concerns.
Just a headsup incase you try it on windows 11 before you do on linux:
LibreOffice, out of the box, is slow and buggy sometimes on windows 11 and the user interface doesn't look as smooth as on linux. You might have to tweak some graphics settings to bearable.
LibreOffice looks and works significantly better on Linux.
Glad to it's been working fine on win10!
I have encountered the same issues as above on multiple different devices running win11 and that's why I wanted to make a heads-up.
Two separate linux installations, in the otherhand, had no issues at all running libreoffice.
To me it looks you are pretty deep in MS ecosystem. The easiest to switch to Linux are developers because development on Windows sucks and casual users because they depend only on their web browser. Since you are both a gamer and deep in MS office suite it will be very hard because its completley different ecosystem.
My proposal: recreate your environment in VM and switch on linux host with that same setup. And then try get step by step over a year outside of that VM.
