  • Oh so that makes it okay that they rounded up all the white polish etc minority on the island

    Famously the one group that was spared.

    Only to then be fucked by France and the United States for the next Century afterwards.

    The US and France had fucked over Saint Domingue long before Dessalines was overthrown. It was Dessalines who was forced to sign the treaty which indebted the entire nation as price for their freedom. It came with support from slaveholders like Jefferson who correctly, saw the Haitian Revolution as an existential threat to their way of life.

    The point is to highlight the concept of Critical Support. Dessalines isn’t someone to idolize like Toussant, he was a ruthless thug. But Napoleon rejected the alliance that Toussant offered. So faced with the choice of re-enslavement under Napoleon and Rochambeau, I would’ve taken Dessalines any day.




  • Storage devices are frequently smaller than advertised just as 2"x4" boards are.

    You cannot flash an image onto a device smaller than the image’s size. Your only options are to get a larger device or shrink the image. Shrinking the image is possible but not without understanding how the image is created. It should be possible by taking the published image and somehow editing it. Or by simply rebuilding the image yourself from source. Either way you’ll want to start by reading .github/workflows/build.yml from that repo.

    Also, because this is doing some PS4 exploits, its possible that the exploits depend on the 256GB size. Unlikely by conceivable.
