2017 Fire

On February 13, 2017[2], the APL Austria caught fire near the South African coast, 20 km south of Cape St. Francis. The ship was on its voyage from European ports to Asian ports with 8,235 containers when a fire broke out in the ship's middle cargo hold. Four non-essential crew members evacuated from the ship, one evacuee suffered a leg injury and was treated on shore.[3]. The fire took more than three days to bring under control and resulted in more than 40 feet of water filling hold number 4.[4] She was subsequently repaired and returned to service.

gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
gollark: I really ought to move to osmarks.net or something for critical services like the potatOS backend servers.
gollark: Freenom require you to renew your domain 2 weeks before it expires, lest they take it away and charge money.
gollark: They really should use potatOS's *good* UUID generator.
