  • I could quit smoking for 20 years but if you were to offer me a Gauloises blue or a gitane I would light it up in a heartbeat

    French cigarettes are delicious, just like the cuisine. (And they pair very well)

    Smokes in Australia have added flame retardent that make a night and day difference, but I suppose that’s a silver lining as an ex-smoker







  • The best solution for privacy is to not use windows, seems like a good guide but even with all these modifications I would throw the computer in the dumpster and set it on fire before using it in any privacy sensitive or mission critical applications.

    Linux runs fine these days, and with NTSync in the kernel and the work done on WINE and proton there really isn’t a need to use an operating system that abuses you and sells your data for profit.









  • My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

    1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

    2. Boot into live distro

    3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

    4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

    5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

    Hope it helps any newcomers!
