A personal wiki or a text file, depending on the place. Would be nice to have some compact non invasive ticket system, but I’ve never seen one.

I’ve used literal card decks and GTDish pen and paper systems when there was more demanding need on tracking things. They’re effective.

I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and need tool and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

Had a farm cat once that was nuts about raw potato and cucumber. No other foodstuff, but any whiff of those and she’d be right there too take them off your hands.

Great mouser, too.

I still don’t. But I’m hoping that avoiding anything by Amazon helps.

You run a scam. Then when it dries up, you start the next idea and then the next. Brave has a looong history of one thing after another.

What about ecumenically?

That posting it now is trumputinist propaganda.

They just sort of flow.

Brave is a series scam company.

That’s interesting, thanks. Can I ask what that vram is getting used for? Gaming, llms, other computing?

Intel has been a mistake since 1978. But evil doesn’t generally die.

The bark side has treats.

And gpg, which op mentions. But the devil’s in the details with encryption.

same watts and volts but more amps

Laws of physics: defeated.

You won’t have any of the electrical or protocol/register info or other data for any of the components unless you’re a manufacturer and most parts aren’t really salvageable separately but are essentially one big glob on the board. Even with the skills, you’d need to reverse engineer some of the most complex and hard to use components ever manufactured for consumer use and somehow fit them in places they were never meant to fit.

And yes, software. The board support for the SOC, mostly. Maybe starting off with a pinephone or something might help, but I doubt even that is open and usable enough.

Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you’re afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.

Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won’t harm you.

Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

It’s difficult to get into on purpose.

Had to read this a few times until it clicked that it doesn’t mean as opposed to getting into accidentally.

Looks like some kind of excrement grading chart. Who on earth came up with that?

Very short for a bible. A catechism maybe.
