Pretty sure there are prepper packages available online that is a superset of knowledge bases, things like wikipedia, music, survival guides, guides on agriculture/raw material processing/ hunting / basic engineering etc. (The free ones are better than for-pay grifter packets) precisely for things like this.

Soon enough wars will look like a Counter strike hostage mission with all robot combatants trying to keep alive, or to kill, human operators.

It’s a Noise Mine. They use machines to extract noise from the bowels of the earth.

I hope their big release gets cracked and pirated on Day Zero

Thanks for the info. Usually information like this is locked in forums that are too technical for me. I’ve had a newborn interest in bootloaders after having some issues with grub some time ago and more recently, migrating to grapheneOS.

I use NewPipe on android and while it is slow to the point of annoyance it is usable. Also completely stopped my doomscrolling so now I am forced to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life like love and friendship ughhhh

Eyy you didn’t mention the distro you jumped to. Around these parts, that’s a spanking.

Out with the distro or prepare your buttcheeks!

If you’re using a new computer with Nvidia graphics, expect that to be a pain point. I’ve also had issues with the grub bootloader though within weeks I had a mitigation flow. Just remember to have a second computer around to use the internet to troubleshoot, and put important info you need that you work on on the PC on an attached thumbdrive also. This way you don’t have to worry about losing data. Makes the migration a lot more peaceful.

You could do it with enough people that there is several sections overlapping between unrelated people that it becomes infeasible even for state actors to compromise EVERY person attesting any one piece of software

Ya gotta do it, them’s the rules. You could trade for something innocuos like a bottle of water but the trade must happen.

Really? Isn’t this kind of thing scandalous enough to tank companies?
