i’d probably opt for a cheap android tablet that’s only used for fb, nothing else.
and in ‘full paranoid’ mode, i’d also avoid using my own home or work wifi with it, too. the library’s public hotspot is convenient enough to both locations.
backup. backup. backup.
then also check the SMART stats on it and run the internal tests. if you don’t know how, gsmartcontrol is a good place to start.
i’ve had a couple disks fail right away, and others that just go forever–and one of those is a deathstar, even.
mine is a few blocks away, and requires sacrifice of an always-increasing amount of coinage (literally every other trip costs more).
the dryer half does the same but also now takes twice as long to do its job–requiring even more coinage sacrifice.
they’re also now scared of the dark (it isn’t 24/7 like it used to be), meaning i can’t go there at odd hours to avoid people.
the middle child generation.
iirc, cloudflare domains are literally at cost.
if that ever happens, i’d cross the bridge then. but i’d probably shut everything down. if i’m in ‘vacay’ mode and not at home, i wouldn’t care about connecting to stuff at home. if i’m in ‘work’ mode, i’m taking shit with me i might need or putting it on space at the office before i leave.
i don’t have what some would consider ‘vital’ services running. like alert notifications systems for various ‘detectors’ (co, power, flood, fire, etc), security cam recordings, and what not.
stuff on ulv soc hardware i just leave on 24/7. those are < 10w or so each with a load, so nbd.
anything i want to be able to get at remotely also stays on, obviously, as does anything required for the internet access and routing to get to it.
everything else is stuff that even gets shut down at bedtime unless it’s “doing something”.
everything gets shutdown and unplugged if i am going out of town for more than a weekend and have no need for anything to be on. which has happened a whole one time in the last 25 years.
skates are, iirc, the only piece of ice hockey equipment that might cost extra on import from canada
was the item coded right?

she may enjoy an activity like tumbling, trampoline, gymnastics, or even figure skating.
55mbps down will be enough when lower cost is most important. it’s about the download speed we have at the office (55mbps), and at home too (faster but network gear is slower than the pipe coming in, so 55-60mbps is what i get on the main pc).
we can have a remote desktop going with multimedia coming through that (for work; low bitrate but latency matters), 2-3 hd streams, a couple screens on web sites, something downloading a huge batch of updates, an online ‘shooter’ game being played, and still not worry about loading up something else to use some more.
for straight downloads from servers and cdn that can handle it, expect 2-4 minutes for a typical linux iso download, and for big downloads about 25 gigabytes per hour max.
they’re trying harder to hide that now. as of last year, a sg-based holding company owns a uk-based company which owns the original developer, the software, and numerous regional branch offices.
kinda sucks, because it is a nice program. doesn’t have feature parity with microsoft office, but it’s got pretty much everything that most users need or would want. it’s also horribly slow on lower-spec hardware.
is the increases to fra still due to reagan’s changes to the system in the early 80s?
backdoors for the ‘good’ (lol) guys today, become backdoors for the bad guys and everybody else tomorrow.
wendy’s single with cheese and bacon. fries. frosty. classic lunch.
but, if there was a white castle nearby–that’s where i’m going. the original ‘fast food’ burger is still the best.
‘buy’ a dollar of someone’s time, kill 'em, then automatically teleport out and back to safety and alibis.
using ‘the pizza’ as the exchange rate, 243.9 coins to the dollar. iirc, it was a $41 pizza order for 10,000 coins. save up for the 41 days then use the ‘magic’ to buy that guy’s pizza.
at today’s exchange rate, 10k coins is nearly $968m. accounting for exchange fees and taxes (capital gains, since you bought them years ago), lets call it an even $750m.
now if the ‘magic’ lets you repeat that process every 41 days…
donvict ain’t done yet, either. i think the damage and legacy he leaves behind, leaking out that giant diaper, will be the worst of the bunch.
i tried checking at walmart, but they haven’t carried it since the early 1970s
you opt out of all, they send crap a year later–presumably without conducting other business with them in the meantime, correct? hell yea, that’s spam.
make it the total raisin bran variety and i could probably handle it for at least a month or two.
