You haven't even began to do any research, have you?

can't you just run it in a VM? in virtualbox use bridged networking. that way the virtual machine uses the network card as if it were another node on the same network as your host computer.

Install Debian to a USB drive, then enjoy all the free time you're going to have. Normal people report network interruption to IT and at a minimum what IT will see is a bunch of machines that aren't yours dropping from the network.

State your budget m8

If it's gaming you want get a linear smooth switch type like Cherry reds or blacks.
If it's typing you want, get the tactile browns.

The non-tactile switches confer essentially no benefit for typing compared to a conventional keyboard, though some of them only require a very light press by comparison.
The non-tactile switches also do not have any kind of deadzone they need to be lifted past to re-actuate. You can just wiggle your finger near the actuation point and they'll spam fast as hell.

Get another ISP.

>>121243
Betternet is free and fairly fast, but it probably logs your data n' shit.

>>121243
VPNs have one point of failure and cost money. Use tor instead (just make sure to about:config and set javascript off as it is on by default for some stupid reason).

>>121252

>Use Tor for torrents
>Turn off Javascript

You're a real winner.

>>121243
Use private trackers not public trackers. Also look into DC Hubs and Usenet.

As for VPNs they are only as good as much as you can trust them(VPN comparison chart: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/) and while many of them say they wont give out your info why would they risk their +1million revenue and not comply with what is in all likely hood a secret order that no one would really have any record of them giving out? Also add to that that most VPNs are configured through your OS and not through your router and there is another weak point. Most routers have very little in the way of security as well. Look up the FBI and their use of NITs, they infect your computer via your browser and then send out unique packets to identify you regardless of whether you are using a VPN or Tor or both. With Tor you also have to worry about your exit nodes

Something like openvpn(docs.openvpn.net/frequently-asked-questions/using-dd-wrt-with-openvpn-access-server/ ) softethervpn on a good DD WRT router with Qubes or Whonix as your OS, which use an isolated tor proxy, on a USB drive then your OS doesn't know its own IP address and IIRC both Quebs and Whonix spoof your MAC address. If something happens you can just get rid of the drive. TAILS has apparently been compromised(as has trucrypt) unfortunately as that is what I used to recommend. You also need to secure your disks too if you have anything on them. Something like Veracrypt is worth considering as their hidden volume feature will make it look like nothing is there with a couple of tricks.

Here are a couple of good privacy talks

Honestly that is a little bit excessive just for snatching torrents especially if you just use private trackers. Most don't even feel the need to use a VPN with them but security is important anyway, It needs to be multilayered and is something that should be focused on regardless of whether you are doing something "illegal" or not. A good browser is important as well. I use a few but prefer qutebrowser. Definitely not FF, Edge or any google or microsoft product and definitely no Win10 or MacOS. I prefer Slackware for general …

Don't listen to anyone in this thread OP, you need to buy some desiccant and some vacuum sealed bags, you'll need to triple bag it in the vacuum sealed bags with the desiccant inside. Then you can place the laptop into a reinforced box that's a pretty snug fit making sure that there is some type of padding in there too like Styrofoam.

Seal it up and then keep it at 5°C +/- 1°C

I'll go with this, I'll make sure my old baby gets taken care of well, thanks.

Now this seems like process for very long term storing like decades, although I'll take the note.

>turn on my laptop
>it starts making scary sounds, kinda like dentists drill
>unplug the power from ac and remove battery

welp, i think i jinxed this thing hard. i am posting from my phone rn, looks like the old trusty laptop is flatlining

>>121247
take out the hard drive. that's really the only part that's valuable (unless you got a gaming laptop, in which case all the hardware is valuable)
turn it on again and see if you hear the noise. if yes, then it's just the fan. maybe it's really hot and they're kicking up. check the air outlets for dust and blow some compressed air if necessary.
if no, and you think it was the hard drive that was making that sound... well I hope you have backups. if you do have backups, then just get a new hard drive and reinstall your OS, and restore your data.

>>121248
strangest thing ever... it was actually bios trying to boot usb first. last time i turned off the laptop with the usb stick plugged in, and unless there was a stick in, laptop would make some really scary noises, not sure where were they coming from but didn't sound like hdd or fan. all i had to do was plug in usb stick in while the laptop was booting and everything's fine after that.
i'm still going to proceed with long term storage, but just wanted to share this weird experience.

react is nothing more than it was 5 years ago.

any retail copy should work.
ms xds by default, however
you can still imply, simple
use xp.use the number
for reactivating xp.
It's kinda autamatet.,

hmmmmm

>>121241
nah, you'd need an OEM copy for that

>>121245
I've used this cd key so many time that I'm writing this from memory. It should work; it's worked on every copy of xp I've ever installed.

The cheapest thing would be another 7870. If you want something a little better, look at an R9 270X. The market for new video cards is fucked up right now, so hold out on buying anything new.

Don't buy AMD GPUs, their drivers are terrible and will give you headaches.

Get a 1070

>>121232
I'm pretty sure Nvidia paid people money at some point to say that. It's the kind of thing they'd do. Anyway, you're retarded.

>>121235
This. I've honestly experienced far more driver-related issues with my GTX 970 and GTX 1080 than I ever experienced with my old Radeon HD 6950.

It's a pain in the ass, but a treasurehouse for recondite martial arts instruction videos.
You have to search in Chinese for a lot of the stuff, though, which requires some wrestling with translation programs.

>>119955
not sure if it would be the most effective option, but you are watching the videos anyway, you could use OBS to easily record your screen into an mp4. Or any other screen capture program would work.

>>120017
Makes sense. I mean, if you're already watching the goddamn videos on your screen on your computer, there's only so much the assholes can do to stop you recording it.

It's like when websites first started blocking right-clicking. LOL HAX. Or when they first started blocking hotlinking. I DON'T THINK SO TIM.

Unfortunately for the smaller backers, GPD's not a great shipping center and the single orders are shipping slower than the big batches. Also, it seems like they're still fiddling with Ubuntu trying to get it working.

Seemed like they stopped shipping for a bit because a lot of the early shipped units had build-quality issues. I think they were trying to fix those, but it's hard to tell because they haven't been communicating great.

Sounds like the biggest flaw for the system (that isn't just a loose connection during the build) is the wifi. People are saying it's pretty crap. We'll see.

I've got a 10" iWork tablet, similar specs (3gb RAM instead of 8GB but otherwise pretty much the same) and the keyboard attachment, cost me about $300 NZD, the GPD pocket would cost $840 NZD, so like 500$ more for a device a bit smaller. What's the point??

Ubuntu version starts shipping friday. Apparently they mostly just used the community's work after the windows versions were released. Devs seem slightly irritated with GPD. The guy who implemented fixes to the kernel asked for one to develop on and they denied him.

Dashchan. Get it from github, not the google play store.

I use Overchan. It supports most Chans fairly well, though I can't actually post to 420chan with it. Still great if you're just lurking though.
