So they see you as a human. Not a gay human.

We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias… and you call us criminals.

I use Tor to get magnet links and feed them to my clearnet torrenting client, no issues so far and the ISP would have to breach my privacy to provide my IP.

As long as they’re hired for their skills and not to tick a checkbox i don’t care.

you no longer have a moral obligation to transition anything over to your coworkers.

My coworkers didn’t let me go, my boss did. If i knew a shit coworker of mine would inherit the project then sure, otherwise i don’t see the point of burning bridges.

Alternative is: Headscale.

Here’s a travel tip: don’t do dumb shit while you’re in a foreign country and don’t take advice from the internet.
Can you really not go without torrenting for 3 weeks?

Old ThinkPads

Dunno (yet); i’d assume they’d scan your wallet QR?

I haven’t explored that yet as here is none nearby. There aren’t many vendors of these machines.

I’d probably go with Mint XFCE or those listed, or you can search for distros that target older hardware. I’ll get back to yo on that.

Edit: so, @thatonecoder@lemmy.ca, my main search was focusing on minimal distros for old hardware (less that 1 GiB of RAM that support x86 (i.e. 32 bit)), these may fit the bill: Tiny Core, Puppy, Porteus, Absolute, antiX, Q4OS, Slax, Sparky, MX, Bohdi, Zorin Lite, Xubuntu, Archbang, Slitaz, DSL.
From here on we’re on “may need ≥ 1 GiB” territory: Lubuntu, Lite, MATE, Peppermint, LXLE, LMDE, bunsenlabs, Crunchbang++, EasyOS.

Again, my focus was on low RAM usage and preferably supporting x86. Most distros aren’t Wayland-ready yet, bare that in mind.
As most said, Mint with XFCE is a good start and most distros offer a “live” version you can boot to try without installing.

You may have an ATM near you.

You’ll be frowned upon. Severely.

Reminds me of the 56K handshake.

You obviously didn’t format it.

The Rust code isn’t closed source yet
FTFY

but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.

Maybe.

Still, there are other sources of bugs beyond memory management.

And i’d rather have GPL-ed potentially unsafe C code to… closed-source Rust code.

I fear moving away from GPL that moving to Rust seems to bring, but Rust does fix real memory issues.

So you prefer closed-source code to potentially unsafe open-source code?

Take the recent rsync vulnerabilities for example.

Already fixed, in software that’s existed for years and is used by millions. But Oh no, memory issues, let’s rewrite that in <language of the month>! will surely result in a better outcome.

as long as the linux kernel is still gpl.

I seem to recall some drama about rust in the kernel… what could that mean…
