Make my claim on the notebook by writing my name on the first page

Image poisoning’s general principle is to change pixels in a way were our eye can’t notice, but that screw up the labeling by LLMs.

You can probably try to apply the same principle, poison the PDF in a way that only humans can read it.

Thing is, I assume you distribute your content on PDFs to make the content accessible to humans. That usually means having the text embedded for easy copy-paste and similar methods. Poisoning these might end up being counterproductive for your objective.

All this to say that No, I have no idea of a poisoning algorithm for PDFs

Not really, under an area blackout the fiberoptic transmitters will stop working, so you won’t be able to reach other areas/nodes even if your equipment has UPS power.

But, in general, the idea of a UPS is to provide enough supply to allow for an orderly shutdown, preventing equipment damage or data loss. Its not meant for long term operations.

For infrastructure and other critical applications, the UPS is designed to give you enough time to go start the diesel generator, and continue the operations.

As a bonus, some UPS have filters to ensure that delicate electronics get a nice, clean power wave. This is usually the case in UPS for data centres.

Btw, how are you liking down under’s “revolutionary” idea of Fibre + Copper? Is it as bad as it sounds?

I’d also consider “volume quotas”.

I’ll assume that the show creators have a set format/time per episode. Recaps are a “good” way to have filler time, meeting the target episode’s length without too much additional effort.

Personally, i feel like the recaps are somewhat of a spoiler to the episode. Usually these recaps are aimed at reminding you of things that you will need/want for the current episode (e.g. who was that character?). If you do remember the previous episode, these edits almost spell out what parts of the plot will be developed in the current episode.

I’d appreciate a solution like the one @vinny_93 mentioned, where the recaps exist, but I can skip them on demand.

TLDR; Use poker decks to clone 3 sets of Love Letter

I’ll recommend some boardgames.

Once you go over 7-8 players, the options are greatly reduced. The available genres become (mostly) limited to social deduction

Social deduction, all about trying to figure out other peoples cards. And lying, lots of lying.

• Love letter, 6 players, 20 cards, ~13 tokens, for points
• Avalon, 7-10 players, ~30cards, tracking mat/paper
• Secret Hitler, 7-10 players, ~30 cards, tracking mat/paper, has a print-at-home version.
• Ultimate werewolf/vampire/etc, ~10-12 players, ~13-15 cards, phone app (for narration, free)

*None of the above are very good for playing as teams (i.e. two ppl taking a single player spot)

Group Games games that do well with teams

• Codenames, various versions.
• Forbidden Island/Dessert/Sky - co-op game for various number of players

As a special mention, Challengers is a board game that allows you to create simple yet fun card drafting tournaments. There are two editions, each allows you up to 8 players, and if you have both they can be combined into 16ppl tournaments

For your numbers, you’d need to buy 2-3 copies of the same game. Not ideal, even if you have the budget.

I’d say, print yourself three copies of Love Letters, you can find the cards online, or just play with 2-3 poker decks. Its the best game in my library, simple yet deep. We’ve been playing it at least once a week for 3 years now. I’ve even managed to play once with a mob of disinterested teens ;)
