Sure you do buddy.

Euthanasia is totally legal and not shunned upon everywhere in the world.

Nvidia open drivers.

Wayland has rendering glitches (most notably with steam) and X11 has constant micro-flickering that kills my eyes.

They don’t.

Just went through another round of Proxmox-> NixOS-> EndeavourOS-> Windows11, because of Nvidia.

I upgraded everything except one NVMe.

Also read what I actually wrote. Full offline installs always.

And linux would be an option except Nvidia.

Chances are MS is still tracking you via TPM and/or hw/peripherals.

I can’t not register Windows 11, because despite everything I try to erase my hardware footprint, it still ties it to my digital license.

This goes as far as upgrading every single piece of hardware on my PC, and using an entirely different ISP.

And no. I don’t use any Microsoft services on Win 11. I don’t use Internet in any capacity when installing. Nor do I use any cd keys for Windows.

Everything the installer asks me, I answer “No.” to.

This should honestly be a huge privacy concern but alas.

Try Windscribe, they offer residential and datacenter IP’s. I don’t get the point, but it’s your money.

I erroneously said the IP’s are less shared, but that’s not the case per the page.

But still, they get past more ip-blocking.

After reading where I’m even posting: Renting a cheap VPS and using Wireguard to tunnel to it is also an option.

Then it really is only used by you.

• Man, I’m really not reading today.

See: Anything that can open ports. NAT of any kind tends to not allow opening ports.

You can get Let’s Encrypt certificates for DuckDNS, so you don’t even need to own anything.

Works with anything that can open ports. DuckDNS works by pinging their service from anywhere to update the target IP for the subdomain.

You do realize all this is easily done with a reverse proxy + DuckDNS?

I can’t anymore. Leads to system crashing randomly. 11 works unfortunately.

Recent studies actually show the opposite of “no sentience”. Plants communicate with each other, even across different species and kingdoms. That means certain animals for example can understand signals from plants better than they understand us.

And that’s just communication. The world of life on earth is so much more than the naive human way of thinking. In fact, it’s likely we’ve already encountered multiple different life forms from space already, and we just have no way to know yet.

So please. Jump off the high horse, take off your hat, and acknowledge that the food on your plate has had a very diverse, colorful life. You can still choose not to eat animals. Just like I choose not to eat dogs and cats, some people see them no different to cows, pigs, and plants.

It’s all just nutrients. So respect it.
