LOL THANK YOU TOTAL MENTAL BLOCK

Zapped you the duplicate back

If you are using Amethyst on GrapheneOS, and you are losing your mind every time you use the backspace key, Heliboard is a 100% offline keyboard with auto complete and it DOES NOT HAVE THE BACKSPACE BUG

XRP is pointless, and the entire industry knows it. Ripple labs has to pay people to use it, and that is not an exaggeration.

Ripple Labs uses their massive cache of worthless tokens to pay affiliate crypto projects to use XRP, and the smart ones just take the money and use XRP like a useless extra-step; a sub-second polyfill when they need to move value between two different crypto units. Ripple then promotes XRP as a "solution" used by all these affiliates.

Shovel driveway like a madman for an hour

The forecast is now snow for another hour

### TIL about UTC leap seconds and now nothing is real.

* atomic time is so accurate, it exposes an inaccuracy in keeping time by the rotation of the earth

* UTC needs to be "slowed down" with leap seconds to account for the discrepancy

* We can't know when a leap second occurs beyond the next six months

* there have been 26 leap seconds in the past 53 years

What about hacking the arrangement that normally takes your freedom in a way that gives you freedom? Making the case for bitcoin, in a lot of cases, is hacking people's greed. Politicians are people. Look, many bitcoiners are currently or immenently rich AF. What better way to use that money to project their will on venal, empty people with legislative and executive power?

Last time I tries to load Linux on a 32-bot Sattelite, my best lick was with PuppyLimux

Replying to Avatar cryptowolf

I have an old (year 2005) Toshiba satellite hanging around which I have been trying to setup for the cryptowolf.ca Bitcoin school in the cryptocave classroom.

I really don't want to dispose of it because its sentimental.

I think the thermal paste on the CPU/heatsink has deteriorated so it overheats during any prolonged process or installation.

I put it in the cold cellar (its currently 5 degrees Celcius there, -15 outside) just to get me through the installation of Arch/EndeavourOS/LinuxMint - (havent decided yet because im wondering if any of the proprietary drivers in the bloated distros might actually help the fan/CPU work more efficiently.)

Once the installation of the OS is complete, my theory is I will be able to run it normally inside the house as long as all installations are completed in the cold cellar first. It did not seem to have any issues with running system updates or installing most applications in normal room temperature, however once i tried to install VLC (over command line on arch) it took WAAAAY TOO LONG and overheated and shut off.

Will report back with the results of the cold cellar experiment and room temperature post installation running experiment shortly.

Goal is to have it running 24/7 with a Bitcoin wallet on-screen for the first graders to tinker with.

There's a dozen more here much newer and in great working condition with various OSs on them, however I would like to salvage this one if possible and make use of it for as long as possible.

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE ITS PRE- PSP era laptop!

(Platform Security Processor - equiv to Intel Management Engine)

Fingers crossed!
