I’ve obviously never been in contact with fiber glass insulation so I don’t know the risks besides the pictures here. Nonetheless the dangers of bare fiber optics glass contact are still dangerous which is where I draw my source of caution.

Also get a life, you are jumping to outrage over Internet comments

I went into my attic once and I shudder to think what I’d feel if the insulation up there was glass fiber. I sort of tripped up there.

For the same reason, optic fiber terrifies me. Microscopic glass needles embedding themselves into your skin.

I suddenly vividly remember putting my mom’s Chromebook into developer mode and installing crouton on it so I could play Minecraft.

Wasn’t even surprised when I read this after eliminating 1, 5, 4, and 3.

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.

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.

Couldn't end up getting this to work for Discord (everything else works). Turns out, my IPv4 traffic leaving through wlp3s0 has a MTU of 1460. And I measured a MTU of 1407 for traffic going through the AirVPN tun (implying 53 bytes of overhead, or 25 bytes of OpenVPN overhead). I ended up just saying the VPN overhead was 40 bytes. Here's my napkin math:

 text

    
1460 <- ISP MTU
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- ISP MSS
- 40 cost of OpenVPN <- AirVPN MTU
1392
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- AirVPN MSS
1364
- 40 cost of 2nd OpenVPN <- Home VPN MTU
1339
- 40 cost of IP/TCP
1299 <- Home VPN MSS

  

For Home and AirVPN I set those in the configs (tun-mtu and mssfix), then mirrored it on the client.

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.

I assumed there was some overhead so I made the second VPN mtu much lower.

min-maxxing my sticks

This is something I don’t like about guys, as a guy.

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.

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.

Thank you so much, made my morning
