For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.
MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.
In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.
The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that’s supported by Piper.
Because modern “journalists” only know how to copy and paste from other “news sites” and random social media posts.
Good, it serves them right for the way they treat their customers. I hope every one of their games gets leaked early.
When the hard drive got full. Luckily, hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger.
Yandex is extremely useful for finding obscure stuff that doesn’t show up on the usual torrent sites.
For 3D modeling, you can get a 3D mouse such as the SpaceMouse.
That would be my suggestion. They only take a single slot and some are even passively cooled.
Link files will show the .lnk extension on Linux and it should be obvious from the icon that it’s not a video file. If you have wine installed, then double clicking one will run it and malware can still cause problems when run in wine.
If your torrent client has the option to run a script or command when a download completes, you could have it delete all .lnk files in the download directory. Something like find /path/to/my/download/directory -type f -iname "*.lnk" -delete would work.
Just add another digit and watch the entire country break down because they can’t find someone to update their 40+ year old software written in COBOL.
It will come down on its own eventually.
It’s been a long time since I pirated over sneakernet. I shared a lot of music with friends that way though. I had an mp3 player with a big hard drive and it had a USB host port, so you could plug in a flash drive and copy files.
I use the free Adguard DNS server with the private DNS function on my phone. It works well enough for me. I don’t see any reason to get the paid version. Of course I have uBlock Origin, but the DNS ad blocking helps in apps other than my web browser.
Even 7zip can compress a large text file to less than 25% of it’s original size. The installer is less than 2MB. There are even better compression algorithms for text than 7zip though.
That would likely get the user and the torrent client banned from the private tracker.
Firefox on android supports addons, so you can install uBlock on it too. If you use an apple device, you are limited to DNS based ad blocking, which doesn’t help with youtube.
I’m surprised more people aren’t using uBlock Origin. It’s an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.
You don’t get segmentation faults if you don’t have an MMU. That can certainly make debugging more interesting when your firmware starts overwriting memory that it shouldn’t until it finally crashes.
