Even S3 cold storage is expensive when you have tens of terabytes to backup. If you pay for a year or two of that, you could have bought more hard drives to back it up on.

Reinstall using btrfs as the root files system and enable automatic snapshots. The data on your home partition will be fine, just make sure the installer doesn’t format it.

PhysX cards were PCI. Motherboards only had one AGP slot and that was for the GPU.

A lot of them already do call twice in a row, thanks apple.

That sub was banned. There is r/OpenSignups though. You can monitor the rss feed if you don’t want to go on reddit.

There is no such thing as unregulated spectrum. Even though you can use some equipment without a license, it’s still regulated. You will get in a lot of trouble if you are caught using a jammer.

If the VPN is free, then you are the product. They are collecting and selling your data. They may even be routing other peoples data through your internet connection.

I’ve never seen a statement with so many words that said so little.

Well, the AI detector in Firefox says the article may be AI generated, so that explains why it’s such a mess.

You have to access it from a US IP address to get the new name.

Put a carbon filter and HEPA filter in the enclosure with a fan to recirculate the air through it.

Four of the standard 8 pin PCIe power connectors would work well.
The new connector really should have used some large blade contacts to handle 50 amps.

They are all for torrenting. They just don’t want you running anything that uses a lot of CPU power like transcoding videos.

Use it for a firewall / router, but don’t bother with WiFi. There are no antenna connectors, so it probably doesn’t have a card installed and normal WiFi cards make terrible access points anyways.

If you want to use OPNsense, make sure the NICs are supported. If it has Realtek NICs, you will probably have to use a Linux based firewall.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock. I never see any ads on youtube.

They should just cut off all service to the UK and show a message with the contact information for everyone that wants the back door.

Tapes are how you back up large amounts of data. A small tape robot can handle petabytes.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

It would have been nice if they came up with something shorter like .lan.
