This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):
>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.
>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time
>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males
>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verification
Her only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.

A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.

Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).

I've never ordered something from China but ebay US uses them for imports to the EU, takes roughly a week to get from the US to my local import parcel center.
They take ages to update, maybe you're lucky and get a notification from USPS or whatever in the next few days.

It's pretty quick/simple if you disable Secure Boot (or use something Ubuntu-based or Fedora) but if you want to use something like Arch with it then you need to firstly disable Secure Boot and install Arch over some freed up space from Windows, and then use sbctl to have the kernel/bootloader images signed so Secure Boot doesn't get pissy about it.

Why is a man vacuuming?
>>
>>108510985
the ball is evil and will destroy your wrist
>>
>>108510985
a vacuum would require a hose smaller than the ball in the joint so the ball joint would be pretty big compared to two normal hinges carrying a hose which would still offer the necessary two degrees of freedom. if you need a third axis a flexible hose in a bearing is still better than stuffing a hose in a big ball (for a vacuum you dont need true 360 deg freedom along the shaft but even then you can seal bearings to be air tight enough pretty trivially in terms of design, though the cost might be a little high for a shitty domestic vacuum)

and it looks double hinged to me so its probably fine to use as is but still saves weight and is relatively easy to assemble and marginally serviceable once delivered to the consoomer so im not really seeing an issue with the device in the op

yet again software "engineers" prove that they are not good at engineering, let alone even understand the physical world around them at all

I wouldn't trust PIA, but for the sole purpose of torrenting and nothing else I guess it's ok.
And yeah I've heard good things about AirVpn, they got a very dated site and all that but the vpn itself seems to be pretty good.


AdGuard VPN is also very cheap (probably the cheapest one there is) costing about €30 for a 5 year license (which also comes with the adblocker for life).
there aren't many reviews about it tho, and for what I've seen it's kinda slow (can't really complain seeing how cheap it is)

The only speakers I had hissing from were the KRK Rokit 5 and it was from a ground loop.
I used unbalanced RCA inputs, all it took was a cheap galvanic insulator/separator and the hiss was gone.
My current monitors go through an audio interface and balanced XLR and there's no problem at all.
