I too am looking forward to 90% good info with 10% really questionable shit. Actual tankies (not the “leftist I don’t like” variety) remind me of the type of movies where the grandkids find their amazing, sweet grandparents are actually secret cannibals or clowns. Maybe both.

I’m totally on board, then the authoritarian, murdery shit comes out.

Ugh, I so get this. I have three writing styles: too concise, too verbose, and romance novel. I really need a fourth between concise and verbose, but I’m garbage at it for topics more complex than this comment.

Uh oh. I’m starting it tonight.

Tell me you have a recipe. I need it. NEED.

Yes! This exactly. I’m learning Italian and having a dictionary open on one side would be awesome.

Same, it’s great. Battery life is extended, the fan isn’t screaming, and I have great process continuity between devices since I’m usually connecting to a central point.

Great article! I’ve been trying to explain VPNs to my family members for years and it just doesn’t stick. I’ll send this their way next time.

As far as I understand, a certain level of data hygiene will do wonders for even a basic setup.

For example, on our server, we have a container that maintains a kill-switched connection to a subscription VPN. Several other containers, including one with a browser, can only route their traffic through that container, and we don’t use any of them for anything personal or outside their intended purpose. We basically act as if there are completely different people on that connection, like we have a secret second family. Remote activity is done through a self-hosted VPN to the home network, then VNC to the containers.

If we want to use the subscription VPN on other devices, we connect to a different location and possibly use Tor browser for extra anonymity. No activity or information overlap, ever.

I miss the old days, when the opposite seemed true about every other major release, though the early bars were low so that was straight progress for 1.0 through 95.

Ugh, yes. I’m going through a rough relationship patch where we’ve separated to work on ourselves and the relationship.

My natural inclination is to pursue and put in effort until I drop, but the smart move is almost always to wait. For days, even weeks. There have been a few instances where I felt like my last move was an eternity ago. Nope, just two days. Not even full days. Torture!

Did you eat it? Because they’re delicious.

Same, it’s just running an unresponsive prime95 24/7 and Windows 95 won’t let me kill the process.

I see the point being made; however, how the fuck else might I jam several clauses into one compound megasentence - overwrought and peppered with purple prose - if not with multiple types of punctuation? Should I summarize, streamline? Clearly not: all thoughts should be expressed in full, replete with all irrelevant details. Perhaps remove unneeded, intra-sentence explanations and asides (like this one, which I’m quite fond of) of details obvious to the reader?! Never!

No AI could write with matching convolution — especially when, unlike me, it cannot do so on the toilet.

Seriously! BoF 1-3 with modern graphics and controls would be great .

Same! I saw that characteristic lighting in the preview thumbnail and got so excited.

If you got two up votes, I’d wager at least twenty people also viewed your content without down voting. That’s a big win.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Unless a home is small, effectively airtight, filled with people, and the doors and windows are never opened, oxygen concentrations aren’t going to fall enough to be impactful.

Same! Mine have a passthrough mode that pumps through what the microphone picks up but lets you select how much. I leave a little on because I feel weird if I can’t hear what’s happening in my surroundings.

Cheaper manufacturing costs with the added “benefit” of making it hard to repair so users buy another one if it breaks
