Years ago I bought a physical encyclopedia. I remember having one as a kid and using it for school reports. Also just looking through it can be cool. Learning about something you never knew existed is just a unique experience and doing it through a physical book just deepens the whole experience.

I also learned the practice of printing a physical encyclopedia is going out of fashion. I think there is only one company the still prints a yearly encyclopedia and it’s not Encyclopedia Britannica of all things. Might have change since I bought my copy but go give some physical media some love if you can.

Ah nice to know. I’m just an amateur hobbyists. I just remember years ago the company I worked for(somewhat large) blocked ports 80 and 443 but left almost everything else open. Stop employees from browsing the web. I went home hosted a web page served on some random high port that worked as a proxy and loaded pages I wanted then used it to play flash ( shows my age) games at work to kill time. Looking back guess I could of gotten into some shit but no longer work for them. It was a fun time though.

I may be wrong on how they “detect” VPN traffic but the lazy way would be to block the common “default” ports used by those services. If they are just blocking this port you could change what port you use. While it does come with its own issues as its a common scanned port changing the port to something like 80 or 443 and “look” like normal internet traffic. Might get around their block.

What is this where did my OS go?

I love dd. Hate using USB programs to burn iso they are all different and weird but man dd is great.

All I see is *******.

I’ll just leave this here.

I love the internet man. At least the part that cultivates human interaction like this. I’m not sure if this is what I remember or if I am miss remembering but either way it tickles that part of my brain like I remember. Thanks lovely stranger on the internet!

Maybe someone can help me? Tip of my brain…

Years ago like 8-10. I found a website that when you dragged your mouse over the page if was like dropping water into a pool of water but it was some very trippy colors. It had a bunch of sliders to change color and frequency and stuff. It kinda reminds me of those 90’s 00’s music visual programs on PC. It was really fun and worked on phone I think with less sliders. I have been looking for this site off and on for years now and yet to find it. Maybe it was just a fever dream while I was on something. Help would be cool to find a memory of my past if it is still around. THANKS!

At this point if Microsoft released windows 12 for like 200$ with out any of the adware spying shit I probably would buy it. Hell make it 500$. They would probably make more than what they do selling your data.

But I just got done exercising and am doing sit and reach stretch but browsing Lemmy at the same time. Got to have a nice cooldown.
