There’s a lot of stuff other people have brought up in this post, but with correct ps and vesa configuration it’s been trivial to view images and pdfs under non-x sessions for decades.
Third way politics were common in Europe and there they were explicitly anticommunist. I think they were even promoted by state department cutouts. I didn’t want to make it solely about the us third way even though that website is the us third way clintonite psychos.
Whomst are absolutely anticommunist as well.
I’m just astounded that a person would post an article from the third way to make the case against third parties.
Oh wow, thirdway.org says you can’t have an alternative to two candidates who don’t represent you and have to choose between the candidates offered to you no matter your politics!
You don’t say!
In case any reader of this post isn’t aware: thirdway.org is the website for people associated with the Third Way which is described as a triangulation between communism and capitalism but ends up still being capitalism somehow.
You can get em with 16gb of ram. They were all 8th gen or tenth gen intel processors and the 8th gen and up igpus shred 1080 in my experience. I use a laptop with an 8th gen to stream several sources at once.
The only issue you’re gonna run into is storage, but I use external or networked storage for everything anyways.
He genuinely is being blackballed on a systemic level from performing.
Blackballed isn’t even the right terminology because it refers to the entertainment industry colluding to keep someone out of work, what happens to people that book hinkley is more like the kind of abuse cops use on people that testify against them.
He’s spent decades getting well and there’s literally a conspiracy against him now.
There’s truth to what you’re hearing, all open source software is suffering.
Part of the allure of rolling releases for the places that have to maintain them is less maintaining! Debian does need maintainers.
Debian does ship old packages, that’s the point of “stable”, to be tested and known not to cause problems.
Free software is political. It’s literally not possible for there to have been more time spent discussing what to put on the website than looking for maintainers and updating packages, and part of stability isn’t active testing but instead time spent in active use.
Debian is on the same path it’s always been on, and reports of its imminent demise are exaggerated.
I didn’t see your reply because it was top level lol.
Out of curiosity, what has you using 3tb of space that can’t be moved off to a nas with (hopefully) some redundancy? Usually when I see people with huge drives in their pcs it’s for games or huge datasets but you said cpu power wasn’t a concern and most of the big data havers I’ve experienced want that cpu (and like minimum 64gb of ram). Of course the meta there is to not do anything on your physical computer and host it all on aws or some such so you don’t have to buy a billion xeons and cuda devices.
What’s your budget for a replacement computer and when are you trying to upgrade?
I’m not trying to convince you that apples prices are comparable or that you should be happy to pay them, but instead that when considered over the lifespan of the device, the price premium isn’t much and will most likely make your life much easier.
I looked at the new imac prices and you’d be paying $600 extra for a 1tb ssd and 16gb of ram. That’s a lot of money for me, but if you make it six years in between replacing the device (that’s about normal in my experience) you’re talking eight bucks a month to not have to deal with all the stuff you listed in your op and anything else that comes up.
I’m not trying to fight you about it, just to offer the perspective of someone who uses linux a lot and has many computers with 32gb+ of memory and also uses macs and wouldn’t try to do what you’re suggesting.
Significantly reducing our reliance on plastics cannot be taken on as a single issue or at the local or even national level.
Plastics are a byproduct of the fossil fuel industry.
That’s the only reason materials which were marketed to people as miraculous in the 40s, 50s and 60s are so cheap.
The extraction industry is global, and the production of plastics is as well.
Even if one nation reduced its fossil fuel and plastic consumption significantly, there will be other nations that will take the opportunity to get that cheap energy, materials and industry.
Yeah only use doh on router, expect per device security otherwise.
I don’t use nextdns so I don’t know. Some mullvad stuff (like their http proxy!) is only functional when you’re using their vpn, but the doh server works fine without it.
DNS over https makes a connection with the dns server using the encrypted https protocol. That means that when I want to go to hanksbuttplugemoprium.com my isp doesn’t see the request because it’s encrypted. Normally those requests get passed up the chain in plaintext and that’s a Big Problem.
Like I said, I don’t know about nextdns, but it seems like it’s built around using dns level blocking.
The problem with blocking stuff through dns at the router level (like pihole and nextdns and if you’re not careful with what you choose, mullvads doh) is that you might end up stopping normal legitimate internet use. I stopped using pihole and later uhh the one with home in the name for that reason. Shit didn’t work and people wouldn’t tell me when it happened so I couldn’t whitelist stuff.
If you’re worried about your isp seeing dns requests and cataloging them, selling them or just blocking them and reporting you to the authorities, set up dns over https at the router level.
You can pay for mullvad month to month by sending them five bucks and a piece of paper with your special number written on it in an envelope.
Might make it more affordable.
There is one thing you should probably change post haste (see what I did there?): get you one of those polarized privacy screen protectors and stop using biometrics. At least in the us biometrics aren’t protected by laws against unlawful search and compelled speech.
I don’t get your meaning there.
