There’s no story. I mean - I’ve been disciplined a few times to be honest usually from adults that shouldn’t be teachers and from my parents who didn’t like me writing mean things in invisible ink. I was also charged with a Class D felony for fraud and forgery of a communications device.

To be honest I only asked the question because growing up sucks and I am imagining what it’s like for new adults to have the fun sucked out of them and to become boring and contemptuous adults.

ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.

If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.

There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.

These are small potatoes to the real problems.

I worked at Dollar Tree a year ago and got a letter saying my SSN and birthday was breached by Lockton. This is the second time this has happened and it’s ridiculous they’re still holding on to my data even though I never consented.

If simply functioning in society is going to require me to buy lifetime identity threat protection then I don’t know how privacy isn’t a luxury.

It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.

Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.

In that instance maybe run docker with gluetun and qbitnox. It’s a bit difficult to setup but will sort of achieve what you’re looking for.

Can you set the interface in qbit to tun?

Carrier pigeon, anyone?

I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

I never had an XBOX or PS2. I went over to my friend’s house and he’d let me take a controller. I’m surprised this is considered retro now and I’m a little sad since I never got to play it.

Now I have Steam games I can’t find time or joy to play and with no one to play them with.

I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.

AirVPN is great. I got it during the Halloween / Cyber Monday sale. 3 years for $70

OK. I think I get it. So people enable uPnP on their routers and then open Minecraft’s port using uTorrent (or any other program that opens a port with uPnP). And they do all of that instead of just logging into their NAT routers. Honestly, sounds like something I would do before I knew networking concepts, though if it were explained to me it would be a million times more confusing than just learning how to configure NAT.

Can you explain this? I have so many questions.

This is hilarious because I can attest to this. I took a class where we were partially graded on security - part of that was proper SQL parameterization. Half of my team couldn’t / wouldn’t be bothered to do so. It was just impossibly hard to get them to do so, almost as if I was asking them to do 10 pushups for every line of code.
