For context, the reason I'm doing this, is because I'm starting to realize having a billion computers all kicking around and taking up space is a not-amazing idea, and I'm starting to try to downsize -- I know it really doesn't look it, yet, but these smaller machines, if they work out and end...

I put in a lowball on what was obviously a little SFF barebones PC kit from the turn of the millennium -- the plastic peel for the badge on the front was still present, despite some scratches in the powdercoating on the metal indicating it'd seen a little bit of careless handling -- and...

aw sweet, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

It was a tweet from OSINTdefender with the following:

Well, this certainly isn't concerning at all.

If you can source an S-VHS capable deck you could make use of the (marginally) cleaner S-Video output. It's a little sharper than regular VHS due to separating the brightness and color signals from each other, though that'll likely be of dubious benefit at best on regular VHS or VHS-C tape...

If you wanted to read Epstein's emails yourself, this is apparently everything that's publically available so far.

CCleaner used to be good, now it's just adware. Even if cleaning the registry was by and large a placebo, it did do a better job of removing temp files than Disk Cleanup did. These days if I need something like that I'll use BleachBit. I'll echo everyone here and say I use uBlock Origin, but I...

Turns out OCCT needs a license to do actual stability testing. Without one, you're stuck with a 1h test duration. I found this out to my detriment leaving the computer running what I thought were laps in OCCT all night and day while I was at work, but it actually just sat idle for 15 of the 16...

Got the 3770K in. Kicked it to 4.5GHz 1.35v just off the bat. Got it at 4.6 now, seems okay in testing so far, though Firefox did crash suspiciously the first time I was writing this post... that COULD just be a coincidence, though. Edit: no, no it's not. 1.35 was my limit for voltage for a...

I really need to make it up to see my dad more often than I do.

And regardless of how "violent" you think Pretti was, he was already disarmed and no longer a threat when he got magdumped. Maybe we shouldn't be magdumping protesters, just kind of like, at all?

ICE is being sent into places where they are meant to experience 'resistance' (aka, people not cheerfully giving up their friends and neighbors to the modern equivalent of the Gestapo) specifically to stir up enough trouble to justify a further crackdown and potential declaration of martial law...

This could be a gamechanger in getting a baseline image setup quickly and easily.

I've been using library sharing to share my own (not insignificant, ~490 titles now) library with my sister for years now. One thing I like to do is buy old games when they get cheap on Steam or GoG, and then grab more appropriate install media for the target platforms where appropriate and use...
