Raspberrypi with pivpn. Put it right next to the router. Can possibly be powered by the routers usb port as well. Connect with ssh to administer. Easy as pie.

For always staying on the vpn: Get a pfsense router and configure it to always connect to the vpn and route all traffic through it.

Enjoyable read!

Many of the things you mentioned are not “loosing”. They are chugging along. Slow and steady.

On the upside, won’t spend as much.

It’s part of the standard. It’s slightly different for each USB verision. USB 2.0 starts at 100mA at 5V and the device can negotiate up to 500mA, if the host can deliver.

You won’t run in to coding.

Having decision paralysis? Best to just pick an option and do it. Expect it to go wrong and be pleasantly surprised when it diesn’t. Don’t try to plan it all out. Doing is the best learning. Unsure about something? Press enter and see what happens. Start over if you have to.

Pick Mint. It’s a good start. load it to a USB, reboot, find the boot menu, boot the USB, let the installer guide you. Have another device handy for internet searches if something confuses you. At this point, If for some reason you wanna try another distro, go ahead! Doesn’t hurt to reinstall and try out.

USB is intelligent. The device should draw as much current as it asks for. If the device is not detecting any host to do any data transfer with, then it is probably idling at lowest unit power load. I would bet it’s not bad for it in any way. As long as that power brick lives up to the standard.

So paypal is unreliable, is the takeaway.

Not all good, but sounds like an upgrade.

I bet this is a big motivator:

“Limiting the spread of foreign digital currencies to safeguard the financial stability and monetary sovereignty of the Eurozone”

You want your currency to be the convenient one.

She is busy pushing A1.

Who knew they were discussing how to subvert democracy instead of what they were suposed to discuss. Putin is definitively Trumps handler.

Once trump has converted USA to Russia, everyone will be an alcoholic again. Then the statistics will be asking how many americans think methanol is bad for you. MAAA

When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

Xpdf or okular maybe

A good way to loose weight is to eat lots of cauliflower, spinach, vegetable soup and lentils. Consume lots of fiber to feel full and releasing the epstein files can’t hurt.

Explain this please.

Well, not that chocked. Probably not all society was paying attention at the time. Or since.

I observe this in the stray dog population. There is always one calm and confident dog like this.

Would make senes if first and second line switched.

Powered by potatoes and designed by chickens.

Among dogs there is certainly the one dog that has the respect of the other dogs. The other dogs will happily wag their tail and show their belly. The ones that challange it will be chased away. I think each sex in the community has a ‘leader’ of their own.

I think the equivalent in humans are charismatic individuals that command respect over their surrounding.

People who self-proclaim ‘alpha’ usually lack charisma, are agressive, dysfunctional individuals that live in a fantasy. Noone respects them. They may see them as crazy and hence fear them.
