As mentioned before, disks are great for archiving files for long-term storage, so they eould work for that. You could also see if you have any non-techie freinds who want/need a cd or two burned (though not likely, still possible).Alternatively there are quite a few crafts you could try.

You say this as if Granny doesn’t have tea and crumpets with the person who can sell her that tiny house every saturday. If she wants to downsize affordably, she should take it up with her ‘Golden Age Bookclub’ buddies who own all the other houses in town…

It’s fine, the repacks generally tick up the CPU and RAM a lot. It’s just extracting things faster than if it didn’t use that many resources. You only really have to worry if the extraction process halts for unreasonably long (over an hour or smth), then you may have a system issue (not the repack’s fault).

If you can afford a second home, you can afford to pay a bit more tax on it to benefit the public good.

This part applies. It’s not about directly getting a house for the homeless in this case, it’s the fact that they can CLEARLY afford to pay more tax.

Thx, fixed that now!

That’s why I suggested trusted vpn companies. Proton keeps no logs, so they couldn’t hand it over if even they wanted to. I also suggested VPN as opposed to TOR because TOR can be fidely, and complicated because of that to a non-techy person (which is what this person had said they were). The speeds of TOR are also not good for streaming.

I beleive this is where dbzer0 would come in… So basically, you are going to want a VPN first, which they are pretty easy to get and use and there are plenty of resources online, I would suggest going for a trusted one such as Proton VPN or Nord VPN. Then as for how to actually get movies/shows, you are going to want to install firefox (if you don’t have it) and then add the ‘ublock’ extention to block popups and other nasty things. Then once you have that, you can check out the sites in our megathread, they are safe and trusted: https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv . Let me know if you need more help. :)

Linux Mint DE and Arch, the ultimate duo of Stability/Freindlyness & Power/Control

Linux Mint DE and Arch, the ultimate duo of Stability/Freindlyness & Power/Control

Oh is that what it was? Well, that’s helpful to know, thanks! Though it turned out to be a blessing because it forced me to make the jump to linux and now I would hate to go back anyways…

Back when I was first in high school, I got into torrenting and gave myself pretty bad malware that just black-screened my laptop, and even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason. Linux detected my hardware and I installed Ubuntu, then Mint, and I moved to Arch a few years ago after having learned the ropes. That’s about when I fully spiralled into linux nerd.

Thanks for the extensive response! You make some really good points and I was unaware of the political ick. Not sure if it’s enough to make me leave them because they do seem to at least handle the privacy aspect of their services correctly (for now at least), but those do seem like good areas that I’m going to watch more closely about them from now on.

alias ser=‘pacman -Ss’
alias ins=‘sudo pacman -S’
alias rem=‘sudo pacman -Rncs’
alias upd=‘sudo pacman -Syu’

alias q=‘quit’
alias cl=‘clear’

alias p=‘systemctl poweroff’
alias r=‘systemctl reboot’

Can I ask what those other reasons are? (genuinely curious if I should switch away from them)
