I like to leave ssh over tor hidden service on remote boxes. It's pretty resilient and can serve as emergency access for when something happens to the VPN. Not a great primary access method because of the latency.

That would be terrible, I have friends but they mostly send uninteresting stuff.

When i was young the water method worked but that was a long ago, it all gets fucked up later in life. I was among the first in my friend group who had killer hangovers, and by the time we reached 40 almost everyone told me something along the lines of "now i know how you felt".

Them everybody clapped

I did not, actually, because it's behind a paywall. I've linked and read another one in the comments but it fails to mention about post offices and says the money is going to customs.

Graceful degradation wasn't a thing in late Geocities time, javascript: a href=" links were common with no fallback, and I know because I didn't have a Windows computer back then so Netscape and IE weren't an option.

I hope you're on my team when SHTF, then

Holy shit. No permanent damage?

 

Is there a consensus on how to run Steam and games isolated from the main system? I've seen Flatpak mentioned in some Reddit post but I'm not sure how good the separation is. Everything about Flatpak sounds like an early work in progress, but I can be convinced otherwise.

I don't trust Steam or the closed source games at all. Currently I've got a second disk with a separate system for gaming, but I very rarely have the motivation to reboot. I want to game more (and spend less time on social media) but compromising my main OS is out of the question. Stuff in the home directory should be isolated from the games. Ideally no network access too, but Steam will not work in that case.

If someone has seen a ready made guide I'd be happy to read it. Any tips would be nice too.

 

I've noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I'm using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven't found any refill fluid on the market.

I know some people use powders etc, I'm not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?
