what driver

[heady wadi]

well you can use the freedom to change that

[sonic barn]

because I couldn't find one for wayland

[heady wadi]

nouveou, with a custom compiled kernel it works as good as a offical nvidia driver

[sonic barn]

libinput is the only one that works in wayland

[heady wadi]

Iheuzio casually trying to protect spyware:

[lucid echo]

Children asserting their opinion as fact is the reason I revisit this server, a great distraction

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/
you're on xorg x11

[heady wadi]

Windows is a spyware

[sonic barn]

so thats probably synaptics

which is what I used on kde neon you get coasting everywhere

but wayland doesn't support synaptics

only libinput which is so bad on a trackpad

you get no acceleration on the scroll

[sonic barn]

how so

[lucid echo]

[sonic barn]

I entered my cc details on windows

[heady wadi]

[sonic barn]

did you see the video by that network guy that checked malware on linux for detection

there's basically nothing showing up on virustotal for malicious programs

[polar steeple]

What's the record for longest time elapsed between "windows bad" posts

[sonic barn]

windows good

"it just works"

[polar steeple]

Windows is neither bad or good

[heady wadi]

You mean having a kernel level spyware is good?

[heady wadi]

theres just works linux distros aswell

[drifting swallow]

I can generate a dozen windows payloads that won't show up on virustotal either.

[sonic barn]

yes idc as long as it doesn't mess with my life outside of ads

[polar steeple]

I love it

Shoot that Spyware all over my kernel

[sonic barn]

malwarebytes

💀

I have a lifetime account

[drifting swallow]

??? and?

[heady wadi]

if you dont care about privacy... then go ahead, spit out all your secrets, adress, and more

no one wants to do that ya know

[sonic barn]

they update their stuff every week

[drifting swallow]

Malwarebytes won't save you from an APT

[sonic barn]

yeah it does

[heady wadi]

APT = Advanced Persistent Threat

Nothing is bulletproof, remember that

[drifting swallow]

Malwarebytes can only catch things they know about

[sonic barn]

some govs use it

[polar steeple]

Yeah, Linux will fist fight that Spyware in the back alley on a bed of broken glass

[sonic barn]

https://www.malwarebytes.com/resources/casestudies/government

[heady wadi]

did you know that CIA uses SELinux?

[sonic barn]

its antimalware not really an av

[sonic barn]

not all of them probably

[distant wren]

Thats simple we call that poster talk, as in allot of talk no work done.

[sonic barn]

that's like saying every windows dev uses windows as their main os

[lucid echo]

"Malwarebytes is poggers" - Malwarebytes

[drifting swallow]

"ransomware-free zone"

[distant wren]

Nah, malwarebytes uses heuristics of known virusses. Same as most antivirus software.

[polar steeple]

"Linux is the based God operating system of choice"

[sonic barn]

no that's temple os

temple os doesn't use linux

[polar steeple]

"Enjoy a nice cold coca-cola while using Linux'

[distant wren]

Its based indeed, but its still pending on use case, Would for the love of god not game on it, as most games are not supported. Thats like asking a fish to climb a tree.

[sonic barn]

temple os uses its own kernel

[heady wadi]

I can protect myself from ransomware by just not allowing write in the defaut SELinux policy

[polar steeple]

"Mountain Dew has what Linux craves!"

[drifting swallow]

Malwarebytes is a decent AV, but it is not infallible. No AV is.

[sonic barn]

its not an av though

its a anti malware

[polar steeple]

Hmm

[distant wren]

Best AV is writing your own OS / Code 😄 . Just live with your own bugs.

[polar steeple]

Yeah let me just go cook up an operating system right quick

[sonic barn]

what if you want discord

[polar steeple]

Crack a couple eggs, boom, operating system

[drifting swallow]

the terms are often used interchangably. Either way, it is not infallible

[distant wren]

go code it?

[sonic barn]

and be the only user

[polar steeple]

Yeah build your own discord ya fucking noob

[distant wren]

No, you can code a open discord version, just might not be TOS compliant .

[drifting swallow]

RIPcord exists. It's okay

[polar steeple]

Jasper I feel like you like Mammoth

Do you like Mammoth?

[drifting swallow]

Hmm??? Whats Mammoth?

[polar steeple]

Idk just seems like the kinda thing that would be your vibe

[craggy oyster]

[distant wren]

Interesting issnt it ? a 140 char / 280 char platform . Made such an impact.
Only 140 chars a post, such a simple concept and it cost 48 billion euro to buy.

[polar steeple]

We live in the matrix already tho

[heady wadi]

i meant the matrix messaging protocol 🗿

[distant wren]

Its almost like you could make it yourself a 140 char platform.
Its not like there is a reason to use twitter.

[polar steeple]

...

Yeah that's what I'm telling you

[distant wren]

Just follow the white rabbit, Neo

[sonic barn]

its built on electron

discord will collect ur data because its using their servers

the app is like running it in the browser, nothing will change about what happens

[distant wren]

Privacy and computers is a funny thing 😄

remember everything you ever typed in google is collected.

[sonic barn]

imagine caring about privacy

I only use a vpn for a: download/streaming, b: avoiding network limits by school or isp

but canada may make piracy legal soon

[heady wadi]

VPNs suck

[sonic barn]

https://torrentfreak.com/magnitude-of-canadas-piracy-problem-nearly-impossible-to-overstate-230205/

[drifting swallow]

Just tested a windows build of our internal post-exploitation tool against virustotal. Malwarebytes didn't flag it even after I ran it through a packer

[sonic barn]

whats it do

[heady wadi]

its basically trusting a diffirent company rather than your ISP

[sonic barn]

its for a similar sounding word 🏴‍☠️

[heady wadi]

Youre better off using Tor or I2P

[sonic barn]

???

tor is not secure though

[drifting swallow]

Lots of data exfiltration/enumeration utilities. Some priv-esc stuff. Also stuff for pivoting like setting up tunnels to other systems.

[sonic barn]

someone can decrypt it if they control most nodes which is the case

I think its russia or something

[drifting swallow]

Malwarebytes doesn't catch the linux or windows build, both packed and unpacked

[heady wadi]

dont make me laugh

[sonic barn]

so not important

you can't really steal data

[drifting swallow]

You literally can

How do you think leaks happen?

[summer folio]

Bad tape

[drifting swallow]

leaky ethernet cables

[sonic barn]

the pipes are broken

water leaks out

[drifting swallow]

nice deflection. Stealing data is a major reason why companies get hacked.

user data, payment info, corporate espionage, etc

[distant wren]

Love how they have "hackerjobs" on Tor 🥲

making it sound like normal software jobs.

[heady wadi]

yeah, a VPN company getting hacked would be deadly since they store credit card info of the users

[drifting swallow]

Showing the ability to exfiltrate sensitive data is a major reporting point for my clients. Companies care a lot about proprietary data getting stolen or the liability from customer data being stolen.

[heady wadi]

yeah cash and crypto is much better

[drifting swallow]

Or leaked source code leading to more vulnerabilities.

[heady wadi]

Heh, first time?

[drifting swallow]

My birthday this year was going to the pub by myself. It was fun too

[worn lynx]

I haven't had a birthday in years but that's life

[distant wren]

how did that go?

[heady wadi]

hope you didnt get drunk

[drifting swallow]

I did

Very much so

[finite cloud]

What do you think people do at a pub

[heady wadi]

💀 getting drunk alone while being far away from home is the worst

[drifting swallow]

Oh I was near home. Only a few blocks away

[heady wadi]

oh good then

[drifting swallow]

I just don't know anyone here because I just moved.

[distant wren]

its okay , find it amazing you did go by yourself! Very interesting move

So ,next week again ? 😄

[drifting swallow]

But I got a fat raise for moving. So I can afford to go out and make new friends.

[drifting swallow]

The food there is also incredible. So good dinner, good drinks, then I walked home.

I'm also used to just going out on my own. I travel a TON for work. I spend >100 days in hotels last year

[heady wadi]

there was a good pub here aswell, it got closed since they got bankrupt due to covid

[summer folio]

Making friends costs money?

[drifting swallow]

Not necessarily, but going out and doing stuff to meet people can cost money.

Homie those are not your friends

I'll pay for friends occasionally, but usually only if I can make it a business expense or if it's a friend who I know doesn't have a ton of money.

[timid meadow]

If "whos gunna pay" is even a convo im not going with that group. Individuals offering to pay should be to enhance the night, not make it possible

[distant wren]

You should make an excel list of your friends 😄

and rate if they have anything to add, memorable moments

and make a ven diagram of people who like you or like you back

Or people who actually ask you to do things instead of the other way around.

[gilded plinth]

Found the Excel nerd

[distant wren]

It was in one of those UK newspapers about a girl who made this . And had a whole list of relationships regarding who she had positive / negative comments regarding, and who she liked or not. It is very extreme.

[distant wren]

Only do my monthly expenses in excel and my days I work from home or work at the office. 🤷‍♂️ just need to keep track

[gilded plinth]

Do you make charts do see your expenses history?

[drifting swallow]

I made a stats bot for another discord server that tracked who spent the most time with who and generated heatmaps of who hung out the most with who.

It was fun

[distant wren]

Yes, I make charts for my expenses. Found out I can save money when I switch to diff companies.
Saved me around 600 euro a year.
Bought a pc from that money 🤷‍♂️

[gilded plinth]

That's nice

[distant wren]

Yes, it really helps to see your income and outcome.

[gilded plinth]

I love making charts

[south badger]

thats samrttt

i just use an app

[distant wren]

nah dont like apps, too constricted.
I can add whatever I want on excel 😄

[south badger]

wqhat do you use

spread sheets?

[distant wren]

Yep

[south badger]

mhm

that works

[distant wren]

just keep it stupid simple, dont want to use another service

[south badger]

fair enough

[distant wren]

"But with these apps you can see your future expenses! and you can budget it ! "
Me: but you can just fill in another line on your excel sheet, and pay yourself first? 🤔 before monthly expenses

[drifting swallow]

Go look up "HDR in Excel" on youtube. There's an old talk from a conference where a guy implemented it.

In windows, if I set the audio balance for a device, like speakers, can I somehow permanently save that? So that it doesn't reset every time the pc is restarted

Any ideas?

Ah so it's a tech support thing, post that in a #1027757333117415424 thread

It's a fun game. I play it for what it currently is, not what's promised

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I think it's cool too, it's just become so much of a meme at this point

Honestly, the best part has been how open they've been with their development...the team I work for utilized their "medium poly modeling" strategy for a few years once they posted about it on Reddit, up until Unreal Engine 5 came out and made it obsolete

They're extremely creative and invented a whole new batch of game development tools

[lucid echo]

The length of development might work out in their favor once it hits beta.
There's an entire generation of gamers who don't know anything about its tumultuous origins

[trim robin]

yea those ones

[timid meadow]

I think theres nfc then a couple different proprietary versions

Ive got 2 or 3 different on hand actually gimme a min and ill look for em

One says HID ProxCard 2 the other is IDentiPROX. Niether are standard nfc, but ive seen admins in other business use standard nfc keys

Depending on how secure the building is or needs to be

I know for sure the ProxCard is older with a larger antenna. The other could just be a newer model because it has similar range but i don't care enough to google it

Doesn't sound very smart

More like a dumb card

Im ready for it. Turn my body into a smarthome. Unload my frontal brain into an ai so i dont have to think about menial tasks

[trim robin]

I am not ever gona get a tech implant like that. Mabey nfc but not likely

[timid meadow]

The way i see it, if these implants are malicious enough to make me some wild robot or something, then ideally itd take over enough of me that i would no longer care that im being used. Which makes it not my problem in a way

If it's the wrong place then your question will make no sense and someone will tell you
An actual question will generate more engagement then a useless "can I ask"
This is discord, you don't have to introduce yourself before you talk

[trim robin]

True. It dose generally depend on where and what the question is basic stuff properly not to do it but some complex one colud be

[full fossil]

more bots are coded to never actually ask a question than i could prove to you as true

if i say no

will you just stop asking then?

just present the problem/question/scenario. dontasktoask.com is a great site. it literally explains why asking to ask is dumb

The solution is not to ask to ask, but just to ask. Someone who is idling on the channel and only every now and then glances what's going on is unlikely to answer to your "asking to ask" question, but your actual problem description may pique their interest and get them to answer.

A watch let's you discreetly check how much time you've wasted in a meeting.

[fossil frost]

could do that with a stop watch.. doesnt even need to tell time

Smart watches are useful for some and useless for other

You can check your heart rate without a watch

i was real worried for a second there that you didn't k

[polar fern]

Before industry, folks lived like 40 years & worked like 30 of that

[stray apex]

Nah, all those dead infants really screwed the average for everyone else

[lucid echo]

Infant mortality kinda fucked the average lifespan, people usually lived a lot longer than 40 if they made it past childhood

[trim robin]

a lot of this was medicen and not fully just industry

in fact stuff like leaded gas was verrrry bad for just about evryone and everything

[lucid echo]

If anything we work for a larger percentage of our lives now

[polar fern]

Dead infants do not skew maximum age averages, as you simply cut off under 12

[timid meadow]

Everyone just waiting around for their first serious illness to see if they won the nervous system lotto

[stray apex]

And is this "40" calculated with that methodology?

[polar fern]

Yes

[lucid echo]

Excluding child mortality, the average life expectancy during the 12th–19th centuries was approximately 55 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy

[timid meadow]

If you didnt, try some hard drugs!

[fossil frost]

nope, bunch of dead kids is why life expectancy was lower in the past... if you lived beyond 20, you lived to not too far away from where we live now

[trim robin]

reminds me of this one dude who taught that a balloon could cary a 'nuculer emp device that could wipe out power for the entirety of NA

People totally lived into their 80s
Not super often
But it's not like old people didn't exist

Noone said it was the norm but healthy is healthy. Even nowadays you can get by without modern meds if your lucky and smart

[polar steeple]

I'm watching the video rn

[polar fern]

All it took was one injury to kill folks back then

[jade rampart]

Ok

[stray apex]

Depends on the injury

[lucid echo]

Only if there was an entire wikipedia article with dozens of sources to answer this

[stray apex]

Medicine has been a thing for a little bit

[full fossil]

pft whats an artery

[lucid echo]

That gives concrete well-researched numbers over various centuries

[trim robin]

i was thinking more of a infection

[full fossil]

sicence is fake like the earth is round

[polar fern]

Even if the injury itself was not fatal an infection or reduced, mobility and other tertiary issues would definitely impact overall health snd therefore lifespan

[torn mountain]

Doctors used to use lavender tea as an anaesthetic during surgery and plant silver coins into skulls to cover the bullet hole, people still lived. We got nothin to complain about

[full fossil]

that works as well

[torn mountain]

the earth is just a pop tart

simple as that

[fossil frost]

and when you look at it now, those worked for a reason, even though they didnt have an explanation for it at the time

[lucid echo]

@polar fern I think you're equating "40 is too low of an estimate for back then" with "life expectancy was exactly the same back then", only one of which is a thing people are saying here

[polar fern]

I mean people 100 years ago still died from shit all the time because there were no antibiotics

[torn mountain]

Yeah turns out silver is very good at disinfecting

[stray apex]

People die all the time
Overall they don't die that often though

[polar fern]

The number of people born per area was a lot higher vs today tho.

[polar steeple]

I died for the first time in 1908

[timid meadow]

Just because there is now doesn't mean theres access

[polar fern]

[polar fern]

Right but I’m not talking about access. I’m talking about existing at all for anyone to use.

[lucid echo]

Excluding child mortality, the average life expectancy during the 12th–19th centuries was approximately 55 years.

[trim robin]

seams unlikly

[torn mountain]

Oh damn I'm seeing Wikipedia links popping up, the argument is potent in here

[polar fern]

🤣

[lucid echo]

It's cuz they were pumping out way more children in the hopes that some would survive, at least I assume that would be why

[polar fern]

Well, no, they also wanted Kids to work the farm

[stray apex]

Also because if you're bored

Make baby

[polar fern]

Plus the church was all about the procreation

[timid meadow]

But "existing at all" and "for everyone to use" arent the same. Sure, people die from stuff like that less often. But it still happens. In both poor America and other less fortunate countries

[polar fern]

No shit

[fossil frost]

also because being catholic, women were told that is the only thing they are allowed to do... and they have to do it, constantly

[trim robin]

yes but there still pepple who do that, and the amout of nomral births might be a lot more with just how mutch larger the population is

[polar steeple]

Yeah we did

[polar fern]

One of the main factors in lifespan today is diet not necessarily medicine. Peoples diets sucked back then.

[torn mountain]

If you really think about it, we're no smarter than cavemen, we're just born into this high tech world and have to adjust to it

[polar fern]

Plus, we also have food full of every mineral and vitamins, and in fact often too much of those vitamins and minerals

[polar steeple]

Nah lol we are much smarter than any caveman could ever conceive of being because we record the knowledge we discover

[stray apex]

So did they

[polar steeple]

Lol

Objectively they did not

[trim robin]

its more over how mutch its buildt up over time

[polar fern]

I think those folks back then were little bit more preoccupied with basic survival than figuring out how to put together a graphics card

[torn mountain]

I mean when we're born we're not smarter than a cave baby

[stray apex]

How do you think we became agricultural

[polar steeple]

Thousands and thousands of years

[simple quail]

they just didn't have the technology to, except for drawings in caves, which we've seen

[torn mountain]

We just become smart because that's the only way to live in society nowadays

[timid meadow]

I feel like youve gotta set a timespan on diets. On one hand it was alot healthier back then with less junk food. On the otherhand, at one point they tried to see if something like 50% fermeldahyde milk was safe so like its been a ride for the food industry

[stray apex]

And how do you think they figured that out

[torn mountain]

We don't have to fight mammoths for survival, we have to fight Instagram trends for survival

[trim robin]

have you sean some pepple? or florda?

[polar fern]

One of the major shifts happened once things became industrial. Fewer people were needed to do the same amount of work, and therefore populations tend to do weird things because fewer people were needed to do things such as harvest.

Can you believe that

What a crock of sh!t

No, they are going ahead with it

In Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain

I'm just shocked that they are going ahead with it IMMEDIATELY after the backlash online, and after saying "that policy was included in error"

Yeah, I'll have to be having this conversation with my parents when they return from holiday, and that we have a plan going forward with Netflix

Because I live at home with my parents, but my other two brothers live away from home

We have the Premium 4K plan, so we could pay the extra NZD$8/mo to get the relavant sub-accounts

But I'm thinking the price hike is going to scare my parents off

[stray apex]

tried installing linux mint because it's stable or something
literally didn't get past the setup screen before it broke

[karmic wedge]

That, and also the inevitable questions of "why isn't my netflix working, It worked before" without fully understanding the scope of the changes

[manic torrent]

... then you get old, and you have the netflix subscription and share it to your mother in law

[fossil frost]

in most households, netflix is probably the cheapest bill they have too.. i know it is in mine, and im paying for the 4k package so my kids can watch it at the same time as me and my fiance too...

[karmic wedge]

Yeah same, we've got the 4K plan too to have the capacity for all the family to watch

[sonic barn]

I'm gonna go off accutane tomorrow things wild

Been on it for 8 months

[river swift]

[trim robin]

noramly it is earaler in the day

[eager venture]

it should be heavily promoted in the youtube vids

[trim robin]

they do do it sometimes but i think thave said stuff about not wanting to do it a ton

[molten drift]

The 26 year law in the USA is so annoying when you want import cars.

[trim robin]

what law?

[eager venture]

"sometimes" iv never seen an ad for one

[molten drift]

In the USA. You can't import a car that is not sold in the USA for 26 years.

[onyx heath]

youtube down for anyone else?

[molten drift]

So Daihatsu that is not sold in the USA... You can only get a 98' at the earliest.

[knotty ivy]

only the homepage

[molten drift]

I really want a Mira. But not able to be gotten with the laws easily.

[eager venture]

the world is going down by alien hackers using emps

[trim robin]

wan show, small bits saying you can get vids ealery, and executives over on FP. and even had a fp executive on yt for 72hr

[onyx heath]

this did not age well https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712?lang=en

[gilded quest]

pretty sure i've seen this movie

[trim robin]

i feal like hacking and useing an emp are counterintuve

[trim robin]

just got one on the vid on on rn lol

[eager venture]

imagine a free tier of floatplane where u get a vid only 1 day early

[manic torrent]

imagine a free tier of youtube where you get a vid.

[trim robin]

i think they alredy are just 1day or less idk tho. but that kinda defeats the point of a paided thing just makeing it free..

[stray apex]

they kind of just put them outwhenever they're done now afaik

[trim robin]

Probably

[gilded quest]

Wat

[rugged bridge]

nature is amazing

[past egret]

i would put those flowers in my mouth

[river swift]

What a weird thing to say.

[manic torrent]

on FP? yeah more or less.

On YT they come out on schedule

[eager venture]

just one vid from the list of floatplanes exclusives

its like a free trial

[rugged bridge]

lol

[full fossil]

pretty, how fast will those kill you if you eat them?

[rugged bridge]

idk
im actually not sure what plant it is i can't remember

nvm i found it

[full fossil]

oh its the LSD plant

Fortunately, eating morning glory flowers is not dangerous, unless the child chokes. BUT the seeds can be poisonous, especially in large quantities. They contain a chemical similar to LSD. Symptoms can range widely, from diarrhea to hallucinations.

[gilded quest]

Okay one vid as a "channel trailer" seems reasonable

[rugged bridge]

yikes

[heady flicker]

time to start harvesting

[trim robin]

shold i press it?

[gilded quest]

[trim robin]

xkcd: Incident

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he's copied on /var/spool/mail/root, so be good for goodness' sake.

[graceful burrow]

I have zero clue where it reports it kek

I've never checked
I've been the only admin on any system I've needed to run sudo command on

[trim robin]

looks like either /var/spool/mail/root or /var/log/auth.log

[lapis zinc]

how can an american high school junior not have a phone

youre 17, u can work, u can save, u can get a phone, just buy a cheap one from ebay it's not hard

sorry i just hate having communication problems with school projects

[polar fern]

“Can work” breh have you ever seen entry level retail?

“Torture yourself for a bit more of carrot and stick”

[pliant karma]

Could also be parent decision. My mom didn’t want me to have a phone until I was in high school.

[lapis zinc]

it is what it is

i'll just communicate about the project via postmail. delay time is like a week

[pliant karma]

But yea I loved and hated high school group projects lol

College has been good. Since I’m the one that’s ends up editing the video for the film projects so if you’re not showing up to the shots you don’t get into the credits which my prof I had want to see

[trim robin]

parents. and geting a job can be hard espacly saveing up for a phone

[pliant karma]

Ye being a teen has its perks depending on parents. Mines were chill so that’s good

[trim robin]

i cant even go any whare most of the time cause of mine

[pliant karma]

My mom use to be a hawk on my grades in middle/high school but as of college it’s just been me managing myself

Lol I calculate the amount of effort to put into each class. Some you just BS and get away with it which is like 60% of them I’ve taken

[cerulean vigil]

[full fossil]

[forest valve]

[full fossil]

very cool

[trim robin]

Nice

[forest valve]

somehow debian still supports it

[trim robin]

Debian will run 8n just about anything

[full fossil]

also ur wasting a metric garbage ton of resources p[ower wise using a laptop to run something that can run on debian

but keep doing it 👍🏾

[forest valve]

I only use it as an xsane server

[trim robin]

Wut

[full fossil]

cus ras pis are expensive or something

[forest valve]

I have no other use for it and want to see how long it will last

[trim robin]

Xsane?

[forest valve]

18 years is pretty good so far

[full fossil]

i mean thats fine, a ras pi is more efficient and better

u could recycle it like a good person

[forest valve]

linux document scanning client/protocol

[trim robin]

You relise it prop has a bigger impact to keep useing it then haveing something new shaped out to you right?

[normal hedge]

guys im thinking of printing 8k picture from goggle maps to hang on my wall but idk where i can do that

[full fossil]

from your printer

[forest valve]

exactly also it's just cool to have something still working from 2005

[trim robin]

Also the other and most important rs are reduce and reuse

[normal hedge]

can normal printers print 8k?

[full fossil]

i dont think you know what you are asking

actually i know you arent

[normal hedge]

yea proablably

[forest valve]

Printers dont really print in 4k or whatever

it's more a measure of the dpi

[trim robin]

Very. And clunky and thicc laptops are nice

[normal hedge]

okay thanks

[forest valve]

it runs headless I took the display off of it

frankenserver

[full fossil]

.... not having a display doesnt mean headless

[forest valve]

no but it also is headless

[full fossil]

true

[forest valve]

and literally headless

[trim robin]

Lol kind like my server but the screens still connected just decapitated

[full fossil]

but like

whya rent you using a 20 dollar pi?

[forest valve]

because I want to use this thing until it dies, was the first laptop I used

[full fossil]

[trim robin]
