would be interesting but I bet the FSF won’t like it

i quite like the cinnamon theme in mint, I think it looks really nice, especially with a vibrant wallpaper. In my opinion it’s modern but simple and relaxing to look at

you know there are rechargable AAs right? also energy density, range, whatever look it up

because hydrogen is famously inert and helium is abundant?

Brand new tech powered by Proof Of Shit instead of Proof Of Work?? how wonderful

bro 3 hours wtf

apparently they use small stepper motors for the dials, it’s why there’s a homing sequence at the start (where all the dials go to 0)

probably because it’s easier to make people not start smoking than make people stop smoking. 2008 people are below 18, so most of them probably haven’t started

for now

but only if you have the requisite television loicense

it’s certainly interesting, but what do you do when someone actually breaks in?

that’s an incredibly slow cpu (I’ve literally never heard of a 600MHz cpu in anything this century).

You’re free to try, but I wouldn’t expect it to run any web browser (including obsidian, because that’s electron). I’d recommend using it to experiment with extremely lightweight software like Alpine Linux with some lightweight WM

it gets very technical very quickly on Linux, but have a read here: https://linrunner.de/tlp/introduction.html

what terminal emulator are you using?

you can buy used hard drives for pretty reasonable amounts of money

Matrix?

very nice!

Sounds stressful asf, you should try take a break and relax (e.g. turn off all computers in the house for a few days). The rushed decisions you make now might not be the best

In terms of suggestions, I’d recommend:

• Isolating untrustworthy network devices (e.g. web3 shit and your roommate’s pc) in VLANs
• Running untrustworthy code in containers or vms
• Getting a proper router (openwrt one maybe?) and managing it yourself, don’t let your roommate touch it
• Setting up firewalls on your pc (restrict ports to the ones you actually need)

This would involve learning more about networking, Wikipedia and the arch wiki has pretty good information on it.

I think for cjk typing you can use fcitx5 with the input method engine corresponding to your language. have a look here

EDIT: actually the arch wiki has a good writeup on this
