NASA collected ancient herminudic texts and combined the antediluvian wisdom within with cutting edge materials science and technology to produce a device that could reverse the events of the last few seconds within a 1m radius at phenomenal energy cost, scrubbing the mission in the process.

The soviets welded the capsule shut.

Yeah I guess if you’re constantly slamming your penis in the car door than having a button that turns back time would be one approach.

It can be made very good from a security and privacy perspective.

If you know you know I guess.

Anyone telling you the list isn’t graphene -> ios -> good custom android -> aosp-> google stock -> samsung stock is lying to you.

Good luck. If that gets enough heat off you that you can wait on putting a computer together it’s probably a good idea to target good deals on old Xeon workstations or tower servers instead of using consumer hardware.

Sorry it took a little while to get back to you, I wasn’t in the workshop till today.

Just powered it up and did a quick memtest and pi, the case has three 5.25 bays, eight 3.5, the motherboard has eight sata ports and has a i7 3770 cooled using an aio with 16gb of total ram in four slots.

The front bezel of the case is missing. For a server the front bezel shouldn’t matter too much, nothing is exposed in an unsafe way, just a metal grate instead of plastic transformer face.

I use the little brother of this configuration, with half the cores and a slower clock, as my primary nas/jellyfin/rtorrent server/arr stack/many other tasks and it handles 150+ tb of disks (using an hba and expander) and transcoding 1080 content no problem. I wanted to do 4k I’d add a surplus workstation gpu to transcoding.

I’d like to not get completely destroyed on shipping, so lmk your zip (or some other way of talking if you don’t wanna give that out here) and I’ll see how bad it is.

E: I just wanna say, you’re probably best served by thrifting a recent wireless router that’s supported by freshtomato, openwrt or pfsense and doing your network stuff on that.

No I mean like I will sell you one of those. What dimensions do you need to know?

E: Also I have an old gaming pc in a gaming pc sized case.

May I interest you in a Lenovo thinkcentere m700, hp z230, or dell 3040 sff or 7040 mt?

Usually people don’t that.

The preferred solution for those mice in linux for as long as I can remember is modifier left clicking where you hold down ctrl or alt or whatever when you left click to get right or middle.

The reason people don’t do long click and instead do modifiers is because it allows you to use three button inout which is what x and whatever came before it were designed for and secretly everything in a linux gui expects.

If you absolutely have to have long press and cannot use modifiers because your other hand is occupied when clicking the mouse button due to chronic masturbation, evdev or the other x11 input emulation configurations are the way to go.

If you have a computer repair place near you just go there and say “I have $100 and I want to trade it for a motherboard, cpu and cooler that fits in this case and takes this ram.”

They’re gonna have an old 8th gen + intel or am4 setup that will work for you.

Reserve currency status is established and maintained through military might.

How much you looking to spend?

Oh I didn’t even look up motherboard availability, I only know of dual core no multithreading celeron lga 1200 CPUs. You’re gonna have problems accomplishing your goals with that.

Not in the openrgb device list?

What package did you end up going with?

Sounds like you’re all set. Good luck!

You’re plenty tech minded. Probably just pick Debian or fedora and have fun till it starts pissing you off.

You need to use a computer to make a bootable usb drive you can use to install linux.

“When you have a staff, I will give it to you. If you have no staff, I will take it away from you.” —Basho osho

What usb are you gonna use, what computer will you use to make it into a linux install drive?

Hell yeah, just try some shit.

What’s the best computer experience you remember having? Mine is writing BASIC programs on an old tandy as a little kid.

No one can tell you the answer to the first part of the question you asked but it doesn’t matter because the solution is to just try different shit till you stop.

The installation process is 1. Back up all the stuff you don’t want to lose 2. Download an iso and write it to a usb 3. Boot the usb and play a dating sim with a computer to see what ending you get.

When you switch computer operating systems you’ll have a bunch of problems and questions which are all related directly to how you use the computer. Only you can realize to what extent and in what way you’ve abstracted or personified your experience of using the computer. Only you can decide if you want to stand astride the tracks of history and say “no further”, retvrn to your people’s traditional ways of knowing or eliminate all your cerebral folds and embrace one giant electron native touchscreen button simply marked “dopamine”.

No, you’re wrong.

People who still feel like they aren’t being coddled enough when it comes to linux help in the year of our lord 2026 are the toxic ones. Assistance with every possible problem exists in every imaginable format and with focus on a dazzling array of backgrounds and levels of comprehension.

At some point when you’re set loose in the library and can’t find out about locomotive axle layouts it’s your own fault.
