Which flavor to install? I want to give it shot as a desktop OS running on old laptop.

>>107551510
>laptop
As a rule of thumb, install OpenBSD. If it doesn't meet your expectations, consider NetBSD or FreeBSD; the former is a last resort, depending on your laptop's architecture. The latter no longer supports i686.
I run Free on my laptop for ZFS. Battery life is better on Open. Both are easier to use than Net.

Why BSD isn't called GNU/BSD? I thought Stallman basically owns everything because he is the sole developer of GNU Operating System.

>>107550430
Didn't you catch the memo? You can't have BSD threads on this board without constant spam by ganootards.

I updooted my system from LTSB to LTSC 2021, and it says Enterprise LTSC. So it's the non-IoT version.
Is there a difference between this version and IoT in practice?

>>107550725
>Is there a difference between this version and IoT in practice?
Non-IoT LTSC security updates ends in 2027
IoT LTSC security updates ends in 2032

Simplest and best way to switch to IoT LTSC is to use MAS to activate your install with HWID
HWID is the best activation method and since it's only available on IoT, MAS will automatically convert your install to IoT at the same time

new build with 9900x3d/9070xt
if all i really care about is gaming, does it make sense to go enterprise iot ltsc over just normal enterprise?

>>107547655
I could stay on 10 LTSC for a while longer.
Before anything else I can't imagine having to use Windows without 7 taskbar tweaker, the default is just too annoying and the program doesn't work with the new taskbar in 11.

>> Just as the development of the Interstate Highway System led to the creation of McDonald’s hamburgers, Holiday Inn and a thousand other new commercial developments that would have been impossible without the Interstate Highway System, in the same way we will see the emergence of information services on a nationwide basis that will be extremely profitable and nearly ubiquitous. – Al Gore, 1993

damn I take it back, I actually found it. thanks for the great tip

Which thinkpad + distro should I use if I will ONLY use it for 4chan, text notetaking, and listening to music (flac, ogg, mp3).

>>107552216
T60 + Debian

>>107552216
You can get 8th gen intel thinkpads for like 110-160 dollars. Look for t490 id say as its cheaper than t480(which was last model with external battery and no soldered ram, the newer ones have only 1 ram slot upgradable). If you want a better CPU then get t14 gen 1 AMD. 8gb ram will be enough for linux, id recc Linux Mint but its your choice.

I live in a technofeudalist nightmare where the tech is stuck in the 1850's. Basically we're all just slaves who pay our taxes and do as we're told. I went to my local council some months ago for some paperwork, they gave me a photocopy of all the documents I needed:
>ID/passport
>rental/property contract
>fill out this online form: proceeds to list out the longest URL you've ever seen, 7 lines of the most random letters and numbers and symbols, slashes everywhere
Bro, I can't double-click on that photocopy. You expect me to type all that into my browser? My government is retarded

>>107543733
I live in a more bucolic Solarpunk countryside with farms all around me, plus a small river. I commute to the capital which is rather run down and business district after working hours can be a bit Cyberpunk. Parts of the business district turn into the red light district in the evening.

>>107546764
That sounds very much like the UK. In Glasgow, Blythwood square was prime business district during the day and prime redlight district after hours, and quality of business and "business" declined steeply as you went down the hill towards the Anderston area.

Guys, any books on cybersecurity (programming-wise) that you found interesting/useful/exciting?

>>107547983
I think books are kinda obsolete nowadays because tech moves way too fast

Imagine taking a student loan just to end up unemployed

I can't even get hired for warehouses. I don't understand why I'm so unappealing, am I just supposed to apply to 100 jobs a week until I get lucky?

>>107551830
its grim lucky i went to a cheap state school with instate tuition at 3.5k per semester and lived at home..

cant imagine how fucked people who are 50k in debt are dude my entire 4 years of tuition is like one out of state semester for some schools

An AI board really is long overdue. It'd allow for discussion of more niche topics that don't fit well into generals too.

>>107552139
not that crazy of a thought
I do wish they made another board, most boards have an AI general (or multiple) now so why not just move it to a central space

>>107552182
that would require them to create a single new directory and change one variable in the phpslop
