Even if it’s nearly impossible to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, we can still find salvation and meaning in our lives by hoping we’ll reach it someday.

The only other choice is to accept our doomed existence, and live a life of darkness.

Or maybe light a candle and decide to be the light yourself, no matter how small.

Feels good to have hope once more

Because the logo is cool :)

This works. Thanks a lot!

Gee, I’m sorry alright? Just wanted to show off Tor browser, old.reddit.com was the first thing that came to mind that I’d use with Tor 😅

Yeah, the processor does. The laptop as a whole doesn’t.

I did some searching and this may be because Asus has disabled the functionality in the BIOS, or much of the peripherals don’t support 32-bit. I have no idea what it is tbh, and I don’t really care at this point.

I had both installed and was using them side-by-side. links2 was easier to learn and configure so I chose it over w3m, then uninstalled w3m.

Also edit: terminal browsers(at least links2) are surprisingly good if you just want read Wikipedia, browse memes, use search engines, and other static stuff once you get the hang of it.

If it can play video at a reasonable quality, hook it up to a TV, fill it with torrented movies you want to watch and you’ll have your own home entertainment system.

That’s one idea. If it can’t play high quality videos there are still a lot more uses for it.

It’s the original, slow HDD. And yeah, loading GUI programs is a pain but I don’t notice any unresponsiveness in tty, which is how I use it for 90% of its uptime.

That’s just htop, a pretty well-known cli system monitor

1 extra gig of swap was configured by Debian automatically on install. Should I add more?

Hey, IceWM is awesome! I’d use it but I prefer not to have an extra mouse cluttering up my desk :)

Poor choice of word eh? 😅

No, I prefer i3

Also that links2 thing is quite interesting.

It’s a CLI program that can browse websites (only reads HTML). It can even display images, download files, etc… A lightweight and fast little webpage loader, I love it :)

Forgive me father, for I have sinned 🛐

[Resolve]
DNS=1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
FallbackDNS=8.8.4.4

I added this to the file /etc/resolv.conf and it’s working again.

What can I do to fix the problem here?

Well the machine’s time is off by a few hours after I power it off for a night. So the time is incorrect right now. This might explain why it suddenly stops when I wake up and reopen it a day after installation. Should I manually set the correct time to fix it?

Firefox’s default in-built download manager is hot garbage. It is so much more reliable to download multiple large files at once with a resource-friendly download manager.
