Old laptop as a server is viable and not unheard of. They're generally low power consumption, and have a built-in KVM and UPS.
Depends on your VPN provider and use case. I'd recommend against Tor-only if you want normal people to ever see anything you blog. You'll need static IP and/or dynamic DNS if you want it to be reachable with any kind of reliability. Doing it over VPN requires your provider to support port forwarding, which not all do.
Again, depends on your use case. It's generally a good idea to disable unused services. Worst case it goes down while you're on holidays or something and you can't get it back up for a while. Can you live with that? It might also be a good idea to leave SSH on but access restricted to LAN only. That way you don't have to get up from your main rig to tweak stuff on it, and can follow tutorials in a browser while SSH'ed in to the server.
Nothing that clever or complicated. But I have a feeling it'll never get finished. I think it's a grift, just a money laundering scheme where federal funds go to private companies and then back into our big wet boy's big wet bank account. And it'll possibly end up getting used as a bargaining chip whereby companies get deals to consult on the construction in exchange for favours.
The vibe has been really weird around here. I've been out shopping for incidentals and expected to have to deal with the usual consumer spending orgy but it kinda just .. hasn't happened. Maybe a little bit busier than normal, but nothing excessive. Even the decorations in the shopping centres are kinda half-assed this year, and I don't think I've heard Mariah Carey even once.
Breakfast is a social construct. From a global and historical perspective, the modern western breakfast is really an outlier. Most cultures treat it as just another meal, and have traditionally eaten based on what's available and their anticipated needs for the first part of the day. Yes, it's important to eat in the morning, (and ofc something reasonably healthy) but beyond that there's really no rules. Eat whatever works for you. Could be a couple pieces of fruit, could be leftovers from last night's dinner. Could be a smoothie if you can't do solids first thing. Just try different stuff until you find something that clicks.
It's a weird isometric skateboard racing game, for some reason. I sucked at it, but I'm not sure if that's a controls issue or a skill issue. Manual here, Amiga gameplay video here.
The OG Legion Go supports eGPU, at least on paper. It's one of the reasons I bought it. Mine runs bazzite fantastically, but haven't personally tested the eGPU piece yet.
Assuming this is true, A: why the fuck does Amazon have that level of surveillance on their tech staff? And B: Isn't DPRK supposed to be a starving, impoverished, technologically backwards country?
