In my experience it’s also very very hard to wear out an SSD. It’s limited, but mostly the limit is very very far away. I treat those warnings as largely fud. Most common failure more seems to be that the controller in the drive dies for some reason and the drive just goes completely dead and never gets detected again. There won’t be warnings from any smart values either.

Or the drive is just replaced with a bigger faster one, maybe on a different bus/connector or something, and forgotten in a drawer or a box somewhere.

Naturally it’s still worth trying to enable trim and limit writes if there’s no downside. It can only help in case the drive does get an exceptionally long service life. But I’d say use it while it’s still useful and keep fresh and verified backups.

Too little, too late. But better than nothing, I guess.

Or switch search engines.

https://www.debian.org/ports/m68k/ has a nice little intro and the key requirements.

MMU and HD space were the biggest issues. One of those has pretty much gone away with time.

Interfering with the Russian good actors trying to do their job.

Beware that you won’t have ECC, so corruption is much more likely than with proper hardware.

Charcoal is more dusty and more conductive than pencil “lead”, which is pretty much processed charcoal and glue.

That’s right. It’s not humans making careful decisions about what to download. It’s a program that follows links and saves files.

Scraper bots don’t read instructions, they just follow links

Brave is a series scam company. There are only two reasons anyone would support them: They were scammed, or they joined in the scam.

How’s the ad blocking or add-ons? Last I looked there was none.

Nothing has beat mutt so far. But that’s not for everyone, naturally.

It’s not a file name. It’s shell syntax. Specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control_(Unix)

That’s a pretty terrible article on the subject, but I don’t have a better one at hand. You could read some shell scripting tutorial or manual or maybe a beginners guide to Unix. A decent one should explain job control well.

But basically, in a script or command line, an ampersand ends a command and runs it in the background without waiting for it to finish before running the next command. A semicolon works the same but waits on the foreground.

I would have run already.

It generally is a length of time. Your title depends on the years on the job.

I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and needed tools and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

I still don’t. But I’m hoping that avoiding anything by Amazon helps.

That’s interesting, thanks. Can I ask what that vram is getting used for? Gaming, llms, other computing?

Intel has been a mistake since 1978. But evil doesn’t generally die.
