I’ve used Optar. It works a lot better than just printing some QR codes. It fits 188 KiB on a sheet of letter sized paper after error correction. It does require a laser printer and a flat bed scanner though.

There are HDMI splitter boxes you can get from China that conveniently strip out the HDCP.

If you only need 2D, there is LibreCAD.

I’ve run Linux on a 166MHz Pentium with 64MB of RAM. There’s not much modern software that will run on that hardware though.

Maybe people will start torrenting youtube rips if they somehow manage to kill ad blockers.

The power usage will be a bit higher, but it will also have higher performance. They can have 2.5G ethernet and a couple of NVMe SSDs. The Raspberry Pi 5 only has one lane of PCIe 2.0, so it will be very bandwidth limited if you use a PCIe switch to connect a 2.5G NIC and an SSD.

There are also a lot of mini PCs that are comparable in price to a Raspberry Pi 5 once you factor in the cost of a case, SD card, and power supply for the Pi.

Make sure you have a font installed that supports emoji such as the Noto emoji font.

The goal is to get away from US tech companies.

The main issue is the lack of software support. They keep making each new Android version more bloated so you can’t update more than once or maybe twice. If it wasn’t for that, you could keep using the same 5G phone until they shut down the 5G network as long as the battery is replaceable.

I wish Android was more like Debian where it’s lightweight, uses stable versions of software and runs well on old hardware.

The last movie I watched in a theater was Top Gun Maverick.

How do you accurately characterize your printer though? No two printers will behave exactly the same.

If anyone except you has the private key, then your private messages are not private.

There haven’t been many good movies lately. It’s been 3 years since there was one good enough for me to watch in a theater. Hollywood has just been producing large volumes of low quality crap lately.

Most of the music I listen to is from the 70’s through the 90’s. I already have just about everything I want to listen to.

An IP camera may stay in use for a decade or more without any firmware updates. You shouldn’t trust any sort of authentication that’s built into the camera to be secure. Keep them on an isolated LAN and only allow access from the server that’s running the DVR software.

Without researchers like that, someone else would figure it out and use it maliciously without telling anyone. This researcher got Google to close the loophole that the exploit requires before publicly disclosing it.

My main issue is that LLMs are being used to flood the internet with AI slop. Almost every time I search for something, I have to go through a lot of results to find one with any usable information. The SEO spam before AI was bad enough, now it’s significantly worse.

It doesn’t, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

The game developers could if they wanted to, but I hope they won’t. I will not willingly install a rootkit on any of my computers. I wouldn’t buy or pirate a game that requires one even if it could run on Linux. I don’t even like running user level anti cheat, but at least that can be run in a sandbox.

I started getting most of my definitely public domain stuff from TorrentLeech when TG started having issues. Keep an eye out for an open signup. The rest comes from RuTracker, 1337x and The Pirate Bay.
