I started my PC on Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it through the years alll the way up to 24. Never had an issue. Mainly use it for plex and for Dolphin emulator (for the kids)

Unless you really trust that site, I wouldn’t do it. Think “ppp” (prohibit porn- or piratesites), because those sites are the least trustworthy to load javascript.

perpetually within the next 10 years

Do I though? My TV still works fine and isn’t smart and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything

I don’t even notice a real difference between 1080p and 4k. I bever watch 4k. For some shows, like stupid sitcoms, I still accept 720p, because it’s less than 1gb.

Was it a script to install your own crypto miner?

I have a fairly expensive espresso machine, but I only ever use that one button that makes simple black coffee. What does that say about me?

Fucking hubspot

There’s also the old dns solution. That’s what I did when they tried to block torrent sites before.

You poor thing. Thoughts and prayers

Jesus fuck, does everything have to be political? I guess it does

Sure it does. You use prowlarr to automate connections. It doesn’t actually make a connection to a particular tracker or use net host though. It just instructs your regular download client to download from a given source. If you want to use a source that is not listed, you can just add it yourself.

From the comments: “curl jam”

It’s legal somewhere

Good story, but I don’t give a fuck

For one thing, you can’t make break-out rooms in Linux, which is something I need to do all the time.

I’m a windows user and I don’t deny anything. I’m just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.

I like to think I know how to use a computer, but I mostly use my phone for private stuff. I have a few things running on my PC, but they’re all online now in my local network and they have a mobile website through which I interact with them. Even my TV runs a frontend for things on my computer. Computer stuff has become an even broader spectrum of devices and skills than it used to be 20 years ago.

That is concerning, but Internet Explorer used to be the only option too. Of course things are different now, but I have faith (for lack of anything else).
