If we’re speaking of the technology, depends on implementation. “VPN” is a fairly broad term.

Unless you want to install older apps on modern Android. Then you need ADB.

I felt that.

I actually like MIUI, I just wish I didn’t need to memorize many bugs and ways to get around them.

have fun adding repos

Have fun searching web for exe and msi files.

Yes, but it could have been solved with a warning.

Instead I believe it just says that the app is “Incompatible”.

I am afraid not.
It’s with you like race. You can’t change it.
If you’re part of any minority you’ll always attract these dumbasses.

Sorry, I’d like to tell you something better.

Oh, and the “Say something in Polish” may very well be meant well, even if it’s annoying. Nobody but you knows how often you hear it.

Ew.

Not sure what specifically you mean by “died”. Does it have many bad sectors, does it fail to spin up, does it keep clicking,…

Anyway, preferably you’d remove it either way, at least to save power.

You can also take it as opportunity to remove dust and replace thermal paste.

I don’t think I ever managed to do that.

TL;DR: Occupy myself with something

At best I can just have a fake conversation in my head. Sometimes I also listen to taxi drivers with SDR. I can only pick up 2 companies, unfortunately. Fortunately though, they are just 0.15MHz apart, so I can listen on to both at once.
One of them even routes phone calls over their radios, so I can hear those as well.

But it’s usually boring. Just on new year 2022/2023 one of the 3 companies’ drivers were greeting each other. That was nice. Yes, 3, there used to be 3 of them I could listen to.
Actually, even before I had SDR I could listen to one on VHF because they were overlapping with FM Broadcast band. But that wasn’t the most pleasant experience. With regular radio I had no squelch option and picking NFM with WFM receiver I had to have volume fairly high. The result of that was faint voice followed by absolutely loud static.

Of course, it would be better to listen to hams. That would be far more interesting. But so far I only managed to pick up the end of 2 contacts on 2m. I don’t have much luck. HF is basically unusable where I am due to RFI.
The only stuff I can pick up is chinese AM radio stations, CW (but I’ve been too lazy to learn morse…), FT8, and the Russian-Ukrainian pirates around 7055kHz.

I don’t know how to monitor the 2m band automatically. If I know the specific frequency, in SDR++ I can just set up squelch and turn on recording with “Ignore silence”. But obviously that will also not allow me to listen to a real-time conversation because all silence is cut out.

Yeah, sorry, I got off-topic.

I can also play with random stuff in Termux on my phone. Right now I need to update nginx which will require also re-compiling the fancyindex dynamic module. I also want to try setting up Jellyfin and NextCloud in proot at some point.
I also want to download the 110GB Wikipedia ZIM archive and serve that with kiwix-serve after I free up enough storage, currently occupied by DVD ISO files and satellite signal baseband recordings. (Yes, on my phone.)
Of course this isn’t always without larger issues.
During one math class I took out my phone from the pocket, because it was starting to get too hot, only to find it stuck in bootloop. I forced it off and tried to boot it up. Thankfully, that worked this time. I found the internal storage nearly full. It seems when I forced it into recovery to turn it off, magically 17MB were freed which allowed it to boot up. Otherwise I’d need to fully reset it, most likely. I can’t access the data from recovery, and that’s good from security perspective.

What happened? NGINX error log filled up the storage. I am too dumb to properly manage that, so…

Perhaps some filter to make it seem like it’s on a wooden desk instead of something else, perhaps a bed.

I currently use Samsung, but I’ve had great luck with SanDisk. I think they even gave me better random access which is clear when e.g. loading photo thumbnails.

No consequences? I won’t even know I did anything. It won’t even show.
Just carry on as usual.

Now, if you meant no bad consequences…

I don’t know how I’d do it. Perhaps I’d steal money from some rich fuck, whatever.
But the idea is:
Find a train driver and bribe him with loads of money. Tell him to say that I’ve kidnapped him. I could even get a gun.
Perhaps bribe some more people similarly as well, not many would care about a single worker.
Threaten to kill them if things don’t go my way.

Ask to get some specific rail sections freed.
Tell the train driver to do initial checks and start the train, then show me the basics on how to drive it.
The best part starts now: I’ll drive the train.

Perhaps I’d take 3-4 hours with that. Then get to some side rail and stop there.
In the remaining time, ask the train driver to explain me as much as possible from this field.

5 minutes before the end thank my “hostages” for cooperating and leave the scene, hopefully leaving with loads of extra knowledge on a field different from mine.

Yeah. How else is it supposed to do DNS queries?

1. 18 years (the whole life so far).
2. I guess a weird combination? I don’t even know what to do. I’d need a precise step-by-step manual…
3. No.
4. I don’t know. I don’t have what to compare to.
5. I don’t understand the question.
6. N/A
7. N/A

I didn’t mean it that much as a joke, unfortunately.

I’ve been thinking how to explain this for those 2 hours, but I don’t know.
I just can’t really “just do something”.
What I meant by “step-by-step manual” would be like a plan of exactly what to do, what to say. I can’t even imagine what people do on a date.
Even just trying to start a short conversation is generally a big challenge for me. I sometimes have like 1 or 2 things I want to tell/show to someone, but I may be waiting with that even for weeks.

And just trying to talk to someone, it’s like trying to breathe underwater. The brain just stops you from breathing, it’s like my throat just closes and I can’t say a thing.
Also, unfortunately, I have the habit of instinctively replying “I don’t know.” to basically any question.

Similarly it’s with doing something for the first time. I usually take time with pre-planning stuff to detail.
For example when I was taking a city bus in a different city I even checked how to take the ticket. What payment system they use, whether I need to press something on the screen, where the ticket comes out of, whether it gets fully or partially cut off. Thankfully, that bus company published videos showcasing their system. (Thank you)
Otherwise I’d be checking on forums, looking at background of news reports from that general area, etc…

There’s no good explanation for this. I just… can’t.
I am a terrible person, so it’s probably better this way anyway.

This implies “NIGGER” is an acronym. Mind expanding it?
