  • Ok, so i guess you’re dual boot. So in Windows, Device manager, find your network device and disable it there. It shouldnt ever reenable itself on its own.

    Microsoft IPs blocklists exist, though I havent used them. I imagine they update frequently. Adguard home or pihole have good uses but itll need an always on device to run it.

    A simpler idea which should be a 20 minute turn around to do, amd will cost you nothing would be either:

    • Set a static ip on the windows computer, blank out the dns so it cant reach the internet.
    • Set the MAC address on the windows ethernet adapter to something custom, or a static ip. Make sure the static IP is out of DHCP scope or at least not the same as your other OS or devices. Then on your router, block internet access to that Device MAC or IP.

    Well do you want privacy or not? Get over yourself. What do you care what they think? As a school they should have a list of who they can and can't use in photos. It's actually a fucking nightmare for any marketing staff but that's part of their job. They need to respond to it. Unless you're American… then your rights are imaginary. Suck it up and smile



  • Yes keep using them. You’d be a fool not to.

    https should be enforced by any proper websites. This won’t change. Imagine sending your mail in clear envelopes. Would you bank like that?

    Vpns will work. This cannot change, it would affect business and other legitimate uses for them even if it was enforceable.

    You can use encrypted DNS over HTTPS or TLS easily to further enhance your encrypted self.

    Fuck what some uninformed middle manager type bell end has come up with. Bail out of any company or product that bends over for them.


  • Automation. For example, The lights for my entire house are connected to Home Assistant. Essentially a smart home server that will let you manipulate virtually anything you can turn on and off. By using sensors (light levels, time of day, movement sensors) and you can have ‘smart’ lights… so, for an example using these sensors, in the middle of the night if you get up, it detects movement in a room and puts the light on, but because it’s night they are at 30% brightness…

    Another thing you can do is turn the lights on and off rapidly in a room when you’re at work and know the missus is home but hasn’t seen your message. Failing that turn the TV off, turn the fans on, close the curtains and boil the kettle

    It’s a fun having automatic smart lights right up until people use the actual light switch to turn it off and then you have to get up… or the fact that it takes time to get your phone, unlock it. Open the app and change the lights,rather than getting up of your fat arse and doing it yourself


  • Do you know hens lay like 16-24 eggs a month regardless of if they are getting any cock, and if they aren’t getting any, the eggs won’t be fertilised, but they still lay. Hens do this from like 6 months old… it’s wasteful not to eat the eggs.

    You should go outside and actually touch grass sometime. If all you know is supermarkets food but you want to preach about where it comes from, at least have the butter to know wtf you are talking about.

    Also vegans spouting the shit they do is probably the main reason people don’t try veganism.





  • I did this with proxmox. However I’m using a Nvidia gpu for passthrough. Was awhile ago I set it all up. I remember it being fairly complex. Here is a super basic instruction for it. Possibly incomplete.

    Check you have iommu enabled in efi/bios. (For Intel - enable vt-d)

    Install drivers if necessary (again nvidia)

    Blacklist device on proxmox host

    Setup GPU passthrough (vfio) - assign the card video and audio to the guest vm.

    Start vm and test

    If you are using onboard card, you can probably blacklist it and use it for your vm… I’m not entirely sure how proxmox deals with losing its primary display… I expect it’ll cope ok. SSH for everything. Probably need to use virtio drivers. Install within guest…

    Really… prob best hosting a media server and having a client on the TV end.
