No idea, I was just using it to illustrate the existence of compromised exit nodes, which to my mind are a pretty fatal flaw in TOR, perhaps someone knowledgeable can chime in.

Yeah, I had that at the beginning, then added to my fstab

# enable sddm and therefore good themes
/var/sddm /usr/share/sddm none rbind 0 0

and then it works, kludgy, but sddm is apparently working on allowing themes in /etc, sometime soon.

I was just colloquially referring to away from Earth as North.

Likely red/green colour blind, less cones but more rods (better resolution, also night vision). Your ancestors may have done night watch in the village or been hunters.

Meh, how many of you want a DM but never got a chance.

Wow, escalation.

Certainly do-able, but perhaps more of an adventure than anticipated. On the other hand, trackball works surprisingly well once you adapt.

Route it through a vpn with gluetun and it does...

And the techBro war on skilled wages continues...

Precisely, hopefully there's adequate genetic material in those horns or elsewhere, but it's gonna take a lot more work than this to do the job. Probably better to spend the resources banking genetic diversity while un-extinction tech cooks.

For it to mean anything there has to be a registry of some kind, easily usable by law enforcement. I believe the yanks call it a VIN. Also components generally don't have serials, so it can be parted out and ditch the frame if need be, ideally the more expensive ones would have serials that could easily be attached to the frame VIN. The goal being to be able to easily identify stolen components so as to make theft less profitable and more risky, as opposed to the open season currently.

Your biggest bang for buck is with cheap second hand drives, keep a spare on hand to rebuild the array / volume when one dies. You should be aware that the number of drives in the array directly affects the amount of usable space, 2 drives 50% of total available (a direct mirror, to compensate for the loss of one drive), 3 drives you get 66%, 5 gets you 80%. Say you get 6 4Tb drives, keep one as a spare and the remaining 5 will give you 16Tb usable (with one lost to parity so you can survive one disk failure). You then immediately want to save for a 16 Tb external drive for offline, preferably offsite backup (RAID is not Backup!). As others have wisely said, anything can be used to host, but aim at the most power efficient. If necessary get a PCI card for more SATA or SAS ports. Identify high value, small files, documents, current work, personal photos, source code and so forth and arrange for cloud backup, preferably with local encryption so you needn't trust the cloud provider, preferably in at least two places (so one can go tits up or enshittify without bothering you). You'd be surprised what fits into a free 10Gb account if you triage well.

Good luck.
