They live in their own paranoid delusional world where everyone is out to get them and they are the heroes between bad and good.

Walmart sells the onn android tv sticks for $15 you can customize them and change the font end so that it’s just a few apps that are easy to navigate to.

You can also get a faraday bag.

I’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.

The price didn’t go down, he’s factoring in current ram prices. $250 for an rpi 5 is wild.

In the past the issue has been limited storage for newer versions and possibly ram. It should list those specs on the open wrt site.

I run dullsters.net which is sort of a single user instance. Nobody else can make accounts it’s strictly for one community.

One thing I’ve run into is not performance with old hardware but missing features from the CPU/GPU. Think of tpm 2.0 requirements for Windows 11. There’s other obscure instruction sets that newer games and programs require such as resizeable bar if you want to run a local llm.

The government already knows where most of these people are. They’re just grifting and terrorizing people.

I wouldn’t equate installing proxmox on an old pc to open heart surgery. It’s pretty basic stuff and you can follow guides on how to install services in a container or vm. People are interested in things like pihole, home assistant, arr stacks, nas, and better control over their network. It’s definitely not rocket surgery.

You could use a math trade software. Instead of putting in items just have everyone select each other’s names. Or you could just do a math trade where everyone enters an item and then everything gets randomly traded somewhat like a white elephant but anonymized.

Yesterday there was an article stating that Microsoft has more hardware in inventory than they can actually power on.

A billion rubles? The company has been allowing outside actors to manipulate the platform since at least 2016. No way they let them do that for free.

I installed an external antenna for mine pointed directly at the nearest cell tower and it’s fine with multiple streams going. Before I did that it wasn’t very good. The annoying part is that there’s no access to settings in the router. I’m considering going to fiber for an extra $30/mo just because of the router issue.

Multiple accounts on the same websites with different cookies for each one.

It’s a good skill to know so you don’t get ripped off. You can find the most likely culprit and look up the book time and parts cost. Then go to the mechanic and don’t tell them you know. Just say the light is on. If they come back with some wild price for the issues, then you can tell them to put the car outside and you’ll come pick it up.

When I used to be a professional mechanic I solved many issues by simply reading the manual after checking codes. My library has access to the Chilton online manuals for free, there’s also google. I’ve also diagnosed issues by reading Amazon reviews for parts after reading codes.

Accommodation requests have to be reasonable. If the wheelchair won’t physically fit in the car then you can’t force the driver to drive an accessible vehicle at all times. That would be unreadonable. Though they can’t deny rides to people if the wheelchair could fit in the trunk or whatever.

Back in the day you could book computer time at the local library in my town. I would walk to the library by myself so I could play Oregon trail on an apple iie. Honestly I’m glad that kids have access to the equivalent of the Library of Alexandria in their pocket, but I do miss the days of pre social media and the 24 hour news cycle.
