Thanks. Now that one 78rpm record from 1923 I’ve found on archive.org is again playing in my head. It’s kinda catchy.

On ubuntu-based distros, you can use driver manager.

Slovakia. I mean, it’s not all of them. Most of it can even run Windows 7. Recently they put Windows 10 on some of them, but good luck even just trying to launch a browser.
In June they already got rid of the last 32-bit machines.

I dualboot Manjaro with Linux Mint.
But on school computers we even have Windows XP. Not much you can do with 256MiB of RAM.

How can you use such an operating system now

To be honest, it still works better than Windows 10 or Windows 11.

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in It looks really classy, Steven.

I definitely wouldn’t feel like it’s going to fall on me. Not at all.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What are some of the best advice you received from Lemmy?

NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.

Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it’s enough for personal use.

However, where DoT or DoH isn’t available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What are some of the best advice you received from Lemmy?

Switching from Cloudflare DNS to NextDNS.

And probably other stuff too, but I don’t remember.

user224 , 10 months ago to technology in Does Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is?

I used to use Cloudflare and recently switched to NextDNS for more control.

I’ve heard captchas may read the mouse movement, so yeah, I am attacking Captcha in a spiral movement.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Can you drive a manual transmission?

I am 17 and don’t even have a driver’s license (I already could). However I don’t want that in the first place. I don’t feel comfortable about being in control of a heavy vehicle moving at relatively high speed. I know I’d drive over a pedestrian the first month because I got lost in my thoughts and completely forgot to pay attention to being in a damn car.
Or just fall asleep. Being in a train, bus, or even just playing a bus simulator on my phone immediately makes me sleepy. Sleeping driver is not a good driver.
Additionally there’s the high prices of gas to consider, low prices of bus transport, and for me as a student non-existent prices for trains.
Why pay extra to create additional traffic and kill people?

I wanted to link to it, but I just noticed this comment from admin. Seems like even base64-encoded links are out of question then.
