It’s harder to eat with metal chopsticks because they are more slippery than wooden ones.

A desktop environment is only useful if you plan to sit by the server to do stuff and you don’t like the terminal, otherwise it’s just a resource hog.

Personally I also use Debian on my home server and other distros around the house, but if you are new to Linux and just want to get going you may want to look into Unraid or OpenMediaVault.

Next steps are learning about containers and docker. It makes everything home server much easier in the long run and both suggestions above do it out of the box.

Does Korea still have a somewhat tainted rep of trustworthiness in research?

Having lived in Korea many moons ago, I recall the nationalism being absolutely bonkers in romanticising anything Korean being superior. I remember hearing many times that Korean scientists are better than anywhere else in the world because Korean children eat with metal chopsticks. Yep, this was considered a fact.

No, it’s not. It’s small time criminals or stupid kids that are promised payment from Swedish organised crime with leaders hiding out in Iran. Most likely they will never see any money either, as is the modus operandi. This sort of thing has been going on for quite the while.

I hear FidoNet whispering in modem noises.

You’ll understand the math when you’re 40.

Throw in some AI and a Blockchain and you’ll get the cryptobros hooked. Then use it to store NFTs.

I, for one, would not trust archive.today if they stoop down to covert ddosing by their users web browsers. Who knows what else they feel entitled to use you for then.

AI is inevitable in many fields but as usual people expect way too much from it. It’s a tool, not a magic wand. I agree with you that it is useful and even powerful when used by somebody that understands when it is useful. But it is dangerous when wielded by somebody that doesn’t. As others have said, let your boss vibe code themselves into a corner and leave them to vibe code themselves out of it. They will try to deflect that it is your job to solve it though so you better come up with a strategy to handle that. Be sure to have more people on your side in this venture.

Secondarily, install a chatbot with the instructions to derive essence as a bullet list from your boss wall of texts. If they make their life easier with LLM, so can you. If there are misunderstandings it’s either all just ghosts in the machine or a failure from your boss to communicate clearly.

Yeah, there are plenty of services that manage exactly this. Most prominently VPNs and Mullvad is battle proven by the swedish police department.

Hence the romanticism of migrating to Proton needs to be argued every time somebody brings it up. Obviously Proton VPN too is easily compromised. Teach people to spend their money on Mullvad or another service that is able to decouple payment from service account activities.

Oh, I see. It has a built in Nintendo emulator, that’s how it works.

Games on a DVD player?

Thanks, I have it laying around. But I need to be prepared and in the mood for the cringe.

People that do shite themselves are the worst.

Hah! I’ve also been thinking to watch the sequel for quite some time but have not yet mustered the courage.

You know that, I know that, people here probably know that.

But out in the real world where people are doing real world activism and are concerned about real world problems, they don’t necessarily know that. They are concerned about a whole lot of things that are not digital infrastructure and technology.

They should be able to trust a service that promises security and anonymity for payment. In particular one that is touted as well renowned.

I have a pair of AKG 240 of the same age if not a bit older that have seen plenty of other headphones come and go. Not the best headphones in any other categories but damn the most reliable and durable of studio cans ever built.

As a Texan oil baroness I feel confident with myself being known to the algorithm and it tracking my habits of dropping snakes into police stations, as is our tradition as reminder to not be treaded upon.
