Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...
Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...
I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....
Just rob a few banks, go to prison, meet a coke dealer, get out of prison and start selling coke, rise up the ranks until you can kill the current leader and become a drug kingpin, and finally realize that you still don’t have enough money for it because they are expensive as shit.
n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?
First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal....
Please let me know what you find for jellyfin with arrs and VPN. I have found that the VPN always interferes with jellyfin and other stuff and haven’t been able to figure out gluetun.
Ask to watch them pee. When they say no, ask what they do when they pee that they don’t want you to know about; that is the only reason they could want privacy, right?
Idk for the how but airvpn does for comparable prices. This coming from a fellow multi-tb Linux iso torrenter. Also I assume you mean VPN unless mullvad does VPS stuff I don’t know of.
There is nothing inerrantly wrong with streaming, it is the fact that all the streaming services suck. The experience to watch a show through streaming is:
Look up what streaming service its on.
Realize you don’t have it, pay $25 a month for a subscription.
Watch the show in 480p even though you paid for 4k.
Realize you are using the “wrong” browser & try chromium
Realize chromium doesn’t work either and install their proprietary app.
In the time that you were getting their app working, they lost the rights to the show. Restart on new streaming service.
If it were instead:
go to any streaming service of your choice
Pay $35 a month
Watch on Firefox on Linux in 4k, a lot fewer people would pirate.
That is fair. I was more trying to make the point that what each streaming service charges now isn’t unreasonable, it is the fact that you need to pay for all of them which can easily be 80-100 a month. 35 for no drm, no bs streaming would be high, but still better than it is now.
It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.
I used to like Debian based (and still do; I use it on my server with no intention of switching) but Opensuse is great on the desktop and supports 32 bit. Even tumbleweed is rock solid.
My advice for finding torrents, so long as they are not insanely obscure, is using qbittorrent with tons of search plugins. It may be hard to find av1 but if you have a new GPU you can transcode quickly, or if you don’t you can always use software encoding.
I accidentally clicked on one of the similar IPs links without realizing and someone with that ip happened to have gotten some of the same stuff I did. I was briefly quite worried.

Prvacy-friendly dash cams?
Are there any privacy friendly dash cams on the market? Something that doesn’t phone home, require shady brand apps, force me into cloud storage, etc.
