Anybody have good guides on repurposing old 32bit laptops?

I have this 11 year old oddly resistant Pentium laptop and I’m thinking of turning it into a reading/light-programming tool. It used to run great back in the day but modern software has gotten so bloated that it can barely run GNOME with Firefox, so I was thinking of sticking to command line only. Is there anything specific I...

Improving zsh autocompletion?

Hi. So I’ve been a fish user for a while, but I’ve always gotten frustrated with it not being POSIX compliant. I tried to use zsh with oh-my-zsh to still benefit from fish’s capabilities on zsh, but I had 2 problems with it: it was incredibly slow, and it wasn’t as good. As I recently found out, the plugins can just be...

Q: Setting up network directly behind my ISP provided router

question about widevine decryption

I know next to nothing about widevine decryption so forgive my ignorance - I was wondering if I download protected files now and get a widevine key later from another device, would I be able to decrypt the file with that key? or must the decryption be done with the same key/device that was used to download the file?

What are your favorite video games that force you to pull out the pen and paper?

Ever since the language puzzle in Tunic that got me to fill up 6 pocket sized pages of notes over multiple days while trying to puzzle it out as I tried to and, eventually, succeeded at translating the in-game “paper” manual, I’ve had a craving for games that force you to pull out a notebook and take notes/puzzle things...

What stops states from just ignoring popular votes for the appointment of electoral college electors? [USA]

I mean, a state that is forseeing a election which an opponent party will likely win, could just pass a law before the election that says “The state legislature shall have the sole authority of appointing electors to the electoral college for elections of president and vice president” and if they have an already...
