I'm really good at surviving with a very small amount of money. For a while I also would steal food from wherever I could get it, I thankfully don't have to do that anymore but the skills are there.

I just don't use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren't for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don't want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn't know we exist. I'm sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.

I just never did it, why even replace it. just remove it entirely.

about 20 minutes to the grocery store, 5 to the convenience store, about 10 to the bus stop 20 to the park. West coast.

I've been getting around it by setting my frontend to use an embed request, that way YouTube thinks it's a third party embed and the ad injection doesn't work. I've also in the past geospoofed to Russia and that works to block ads too.

theoretically, they could switch the player to use a nocookie embed.

front right is phone. front left is anything else.

same as you. I wish this state would take responsibility at targeting PGE. especially since they burned down an entire town in 2018. it's honestly the only thing that makes me consider just leaving California for back home.

 

Worth noting: the warning originally had a direct mention that the attack was from a surveilling government, but they removed that part after being asked.

 

Hopefully this is the right kind of question for this community, my apologies if not.

I'm looking for some sort of device that will let me load my own media from a USB / SD card, and play it to my TV. Does such a device exist? Some sort of remote controlled box that can just load mp4 / mkv files from locally hosted storage? I have been using my PC over HDMI but it can get annoying having an awkward room layout because my computer always has to be next to the TV to do this.
