Not me topic!

Thanks for the tips. I did some got training a few months ago but hadn’t considered using it for Linux configs.

That is good advice.

Thank you for your advice. I will take it. As a beginner, I’ll start with Mint.

Would your reccomend any other secure distro for the future?

Thanks for the reply. I’m fairy average Joe. I’ll mainly use this machine for downloading files and general browsing. I don’t have any personal files or accounts on that device.

I’m mainly concerned with neglecting to enable (or disabling) something critical or accidentally downloading something malicious (although this hasn’t happened for many many years).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. I take it that software centre is like a Linux app store?

What is in this thumbnail picture? I can’t see it in the article.

• close all the nuclear reactors to make sure there is no alternative to Russian gas.

They’ve got nukes though, and plenty of conventional fire power (compared to Ukraine when it was invaded).

They need to invest in a non US lead command structure as that’s all using US tech and personnel.

Have a looks at the Hobart’s Funnies designs section:

I’ve never seen one before, no one has, but I’m guessing it’s a white hole

British Private Schools:

Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23  Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25  and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25

This was my gut feel. Like the “Trip Wire” forces NATO members deploy along the Russian border States.

I do this:

1. Tell myself I’m not going to do it. What ever it is, I’m not going to do it.

2. Do the bare minimum thing like: open up a word document, turn on a tap to wash dishes, take something out of a box.

3. By commencing the task I’ll usually default into doing the next part like reading the document, washing a dish, sorting something out.

Additional tips:

• Break big things into small chunks.
• Dont get overloaded. If your a room do it one draw at a time so you can stop when ever. Getting trapped in a “I can’t sleep until this is finished” task is a trap.
• Lists to keep track.

P.S. I was in recruitment 13 years ago and once thought about throwing myself down the stairs to get out of work. I did that job for 2x years and used it to move to a better industry.

You can make change in your life.

Good luck, we’re all counting on you :)

I’ve never really understood the 3D gun printing use case.

Yes, they can fire bullets but bullets are illegal where guns are illegal.

Am I missing something?

There were cases where decommissioned guns could be bought in the UK (firing pins removed). Gangs were recommissioning these guns by adding the removed components.

However, where do the bullets come from?

Map Men did a good video on this:

Sterilization? What did I miss?

3x toots? That didn’t happen.

This is a great write up.

Do you have any books/sources to recommend on this subject?

I’ve always been interested in klans persisting in the Middle East but dying out in Europe due (I’m told) to the Catholic church.

Any interesting sources would be greatly appreciated!
