If someone has to ask the question, just recommend Ubuntu or Mint.

Piano Man by Billy Joel

The whole scene it sets, the mood, it’s all just so human.

Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it’s better than drinking alone

The whole point is that the token itself doesn’t have any personal info attached to it, only a yes/no and expiry time.

I’ll even one up my original suggestion - it uses standard public/private key encryption, where the government issues a simple json token with a yes/no Boolean and a TTL. The public key that can decrypt the tokens is public. Pornhub then decrypts the token and verifies the boolean and expiry date, all without talking to the government at all.

The only implementation I would support is one where the asking website doesn’t know your ID, and the verifying website doesn’t know what you’re trying to visit. Essentially just asking for a one-time use token that verified your age, and providing that token to the website you’re trying to visit.

Edit for a bit more detail: User authenticates to ID website, which provides them a token with age verification (true/false) and a short (10 minute?) TTL. This token is encrypted by the ID website. User then provides this token to the asking website (eg: pornhub). Pornhub then sends the token back to the ID website to decrypt it. All pornhub knows about you is whether or not you’re of age, and the verifying website never knows what the token is for.

If you want the best UX and polish, Synology

If you want something rougher around the edges, QNAP

You can always look into building a solution with something like unraid, truenas, or OMV

College-me is in this picture and I don’t like it

I buy them

I pirate movies and shows because the ecosystem for buying them is fucking trash. If I could just buy legal remuxes without DRM, I would.

Is Arch really that minimalistic? It’s been a few years for me, granted, but I recall they had no package granularity at all. No options to install headers on their own, shit like ssh-client and ssh-server only available bundled together, etc.

Because people use their computers for more than just gaming, and there are a lot of Macs out there. I have Steam installed on my MacBook, and I can’t remember the last time I played a game on it.

I’ve tried all the Android reddit apps. Infinity is fine, I just prefer Sync’s UI/UX.

When there’s a FOSS app as good as sync, sure.

I recently pushed my company to move everything off of Alpine and onto Debian Slim

We had too many issues with musl that are incomprehensibly obscure and impossible to troubleshoot. Now the environment we deploy on is functionally the same to the environment our devs develop on

I have pretty stupid ratios on some trackers without cheating.

I don’t have a seedbox, but I do have a dedicated server in my basement on gigabit fibre with QBT running behind a VPN. My most used tracker has refundable torrents for all TV show seasons, so I seed those for 30 days and get insane free ratio. Other trackers frequently have 25-75% freeleech, and I try and configure Sonarr/Radarr to prioritize those torrents.
