Aurora still works, but the anonymous accounts are all broken. They get throttled because of too many requests on the accounts which need to be manually generated.
I did… Until the police knocked on my door. They said I was lucky because they decided to ask questions first, but they technically could have siezed every computer in my house without warning. I don’t think you’d ever get convicted for something obviously done over tor, but having your stuff taken while they investigate is really inconvenient.
Standard xbox controllers have sticks that are soldered on in about 10 places each side. They are a total pain to replace, and the PCB will fail after 2 or 3 replacements.
At least the switch uses ZIF connectors. They tiny and fiddly, but it’s way better than an hour wielding a soldering iron.
I just went to two amusement parks in Japan this week (Universal and Disney). It’s a different world here. People form orderly queues. They wait their turn. They don’t make noise. We all say thank you at the end of an interaction.
I see 20 metre single-file queues for escalators. Back home it’s a chaotic meat funnel.
I too have held a decades-long boycott over this. I had one of those CDs and it would cause a kernel panic if you inserted it. No other user interaction required.
Zoneminder is best for a low-power system. In the last year or so, it got proper passthrough support so it can record video straight off the camera with zero processing. You don’t get alarms or motion detection or live view, but you can record 24x7 using 2% of your CPU.
