migadu.com still works greta for my private domain. $20/yr plus whatever the domain costs ($1.90 in my case)

Could you elaborate on the reform? I hear the hype yet to me it looks like a severely overpriced tv box with some low-grade peripherials strapped to it in the least space efficient way possible. Did they got rockchip to release sources instead of blobs or something? What is the praise actually for?

Mine.

Quad screen portable setup, baybeh! Razer’s Valerie aint got nuttin’ on me!

I have a 2001 compaq n600 still being used from time to time as a gateway for old tech as it has COM as well as LPT and analog video outs. It has 1.2ghz celeron, 512mb ram, 30 gig drive. Thing is kind of a beast for its time as my own desktop at that time was nowhere close to its spects. Thing was gifted to me after initially being given to install win7 on it. After telling the guy that this isnt going to happen and the best they couldd hope for is winxp and even then it’d struggle, they told me “oh, so linux is the only option then… well, it doesnt work for me. Have it, then, have fun with it!”. I put ubuntu on it, but still gnome ground the poor cpu to a halt, so I had to switch to Xfce. Luckily it turned good enough not to downgrade further to things like bare X or Kolibri OS. Worked as a solitaire machine for my dad for a few years, helped me fix and set up stuff on a few occasions, but nowadays mostly collecting dust in my drawer.

Realistically, what are the odds of something going wrong unless you light up a cig while peeking right inside the fuel tank? Last year I’ve been taking smoke breaks at the gas stations every week near the pump with the crew working there, because I had to attend stuff in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and wait around for potentially up to an hour with the gas station being the only inhabited place around. Still living and breathing, and I honestly don’t see how it could’ve turn badly. Yeah, I know, vapors and stuff, yadda-yadda, but those can only be in high enough concentrations to be dangerous maybe, at worst, within a hand’s reach of a tank or a nozzle? Otherwise, the station would have much worse problems than smokers.

That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won’t be enough people to hold the line.

Search images for “port”

Literally every single photo is of a ship docked starboard

It’s not just gapps, though. Search, gtags/adsense, youtube, maps, etc are all so pervasive that google effectively controls the internet. You can try run ublock and a plethora of privacy addons, but those are only effective as long as Google is playing nice. Others, like Yandex, are not, and they defeat all those with ease.

Though I’d say running custom rom is an exception from the rule, along with people running with dumb or even no phone, but those are not but a blip on a big picture.

If you even have a phone then Google, the phone’s manufacturer, your ISP, the NSA and their respective governments already know everything about you.

That’s just the normal state of Russian economy

You can absolutely use monero without converting it to other currency. You just haven’t looked in right places. Of course you can’t buy a loaf of bread with it, but you cannot use gold either, neither can you rent a server with something like mongolian togrog, yet, they’re all still valid forms of currency.

It’s not. I carry one(mix 3s) as a pocket laptop for when Im going out but might need to do some work urgently and also as a lightweight backup in case something happens to my main laptop. For the former, it’s been great and saved me many times, but for the latter… this did once happen when I bonked the entire screen out. To say it was a painful week while waiting for the replacement would be an understatement. My back was killing me the entire time, and the thing is so underpowered it was easier to remote into that screenless pc rather than trying to launch stuff locally. And even with that, the thing whirred like crazy. It’s fine for a few minutes at a time but hearing it sll fay got annoying quick. And dont even get me started on the keyboard…

I remember when I was tasked with fixing up a personal/work PC of my colleague who was our lead artist. I was a bit shocked to see WinXP there, when win10 was already the norm, and with quite a bunch of severely outdated software on it. At the time, I thought “well, at least it does the job well enough for him to be still employed”. Now I understand that he was probably onto something…

Rubber. I dont want my target to go as easily as with others.

I thought that monster’s target audience is dirbikers, downhill riders, skaters etc, not metal bands, barbers and hipsters? I think they’re outcompeted by craft beer among all three

Prices are crazy, too. The key interest is at 20% and inflation is way over that as everyone expects rouble to crash as govt is printing bajillions to hand out to dead soldiers families.

Ratios are a things of a past. I’m having trouble getting ratios as all of the torrents I have are straight zeros in the upload section. I still keep them around for a while just out of habit, but just to verify it’s working I’ve downloaded some random file with high leech ratio. Got it in fast, but upload is now going at less than 5% the upload capacity. Back in late 00s running torrents would instantly saturate the entirety of my 10mbit connection, and I’d like to think that terabytes I’ve seeded during that time make up for my abysmal ratios nowadays. But the reality is that there just simply is enough seeders already, and as a result the trackers I frequent to either dropped it entirely or switched to a scoring system based on how much and for how long people store obscure torrents that only few people seed, but I’m too short on drive space to participate in that.

WDYM less endowed? Looks pretty averagely endowed to me
