It really doesn’t matter. Proxies are usually configure at the application level while VPNs at the system level.

For torrenting I really don’t think “dns leaking” is really a problem. So as long as they both encrypt your torrenting traffic they’re both doing the same thing.

Wireguard + OpenVPN works well for me.

OpenVPN fully supports multiple simultaneous connections. But Wireguard is such a pain in the ass with this. But Wireguard dgaf about OpenVPN connections.

I’ve been looking at VPNs, but it feels weird, to route everything through my home IP

You don’t have to route all traffic through the VPN. Only traffic for your home network.

Who knew: watching your child doing meth will still get them hooked on doing meta. (Not sure why autocorrect changes it to meta but I’m leaving it)

I just leave my torrents until deluge starts crashing. If one thing is super popular I’m not gonna stop it from boosting my ratio. Most sit idle with almost no interest 95% of the time.

Yes, yes they are.

I’m not qualified to explain this well. But there’s the concept of velocity of money. The higher velocity that’s supposed to mean the economy is doing good. Generally it’s between lots of people so it’s spread out. In this case it’s only between a small handful of companies, and as soon as it starts drying up then bad things can happen really quickly.

Yes, yes they do. And many are considering that they’re doing this.

Idk about little. I was playing around with an old laptop dual booting Fedora KDE and W11. And Fedora on fresh boot was using the same/more ram than 11.

A slower CPU sucks, but swapping sucks even more. Is the ram upgradeable? You can get 16gb ddr3 sticks of ram. Idk how much EOL/the ram pocalypse has affected their pricing though.

Why would that make you an asshole?

TPM is built into every 8th Gen. Intel and Ryzen 2000/3000 series CPUs.

7th Gen. and older machines are pretty dire by modern standards unless you had a top of the line i7, or an HEDT equivalent (did they still make those then?). 1st Gen. Ryzen suuucks for single core performance, but for video editing it’s probably ok. But you’d have to pick your codecs carefully. Even modern CPUs chug with certain codecs.

Apple causes most of the shortages of new process nodes because they almost always buy them LONG before they’re ready. Any time TSMC has a new node they buy out their entire supply for months.

Even if it’s windows 11 that they meant then what are they doing professionally that runs at acceptable speeds?

If this is actually for work where you get paid money you’d probably be better off financing a new computer and doubling your output.

If you don’t need the internet then why would you care about not having the latest Firefox?

It’s fine to use old unsupported OSes as long as they’re isolated from other machines and cannot access the outside world (and you’re careful).

But nobody should be unironically using Firefox on windows 7. Windows 7 has been EOL for over half a decade at this point.

Could be poor mastering. You can’t always just take a track and squish it down to a low bitrate without tweaking some settings.

They’ve already been pushing this for like a decade now. GeForce now has been a thing since like 2015.

Lmao. All non shit PCs are “ai PCs” now. It’s already built into the CPU. All you need is not 8 gigs of ram and to put that button and Microsoft hands you that sweet sweet dosh.

File > print?

You can still right click on Mac OS. Two finger press on the trackpad, control left click, or just right click on any normal mouse.

Not even a laptop?
