If you are serious about switching to Linux, use it exclusively for 2 weeks, avoid windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it.

It is recommended to experience distro of your choice in a VM.

Banks in my country refuse to issue non contactless chip cards now.
People can steal your debit card and use it without the pin
I never use the contactless and always use my debit card as chip and pin
Whats the best way to disable this /g/?

What are you working on, /g/?

Hey /g/, take a look at this idea.

If you were to never PAY ONE CENT for electricity spent ( no, it's not my mom paying it I just live in a country where my small towns just don't fucking pay it because corruption, elections and other factors), how much €/$ could I make in a month?
I have fair understanding of GNU/Linux and technology in general but with Bitcoin I am not experienced.

I figure I need
1. Electricity ( no worry in my case )
2. High end rig. I am thinking of buying 2 ATI good cards for this. Any better solution? I don't have a lot of money to invest. Maybe later if all goes fine.
3. Internet
4. Understanding of GNU/Linux, networking.

Now, the second great thing after not paying electricity, I would be hosting the rig at a family friend who has a small ISP for the town. The ISP isn't that great but all right for basic Internet stuff. Maybe would be getting 2 Mbits/second download speed. Might as well just the rig as server.

So I'd have a free rig running on free electricity and Internet. How much could I make from one ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 card for example?
Also, can I mine buttcoins on an encrypted hard disk without lowering the mining speed or something? I'd encrypting it in case it gets stolen or something.
Cons would be electricity going down for maybe 2 hours a day at most, Internet disconnecting now and then.

>TL;DR Have free electricity, how much could I make off Bitcoin?

What the hell is ripple coin and why is now the number two coin and with a cap one third of bitcoins ?

I'm finishing a 3 month probation period in 3 days and I think I will be let go with a month's pay instead of notice. My managers are middle aged women (one rank above me but more than a decade older) who dislike me and want me gone. The job itself is easy.

I always planned to leave this job later this year and start a better one but this episode has left a sour taste. My manager literally makes shit up about me in meetings and emails and was shouting at me about how she was disgusted with me for not socialising with anyone. The other manager has clearly sided with the other. It's comical how they have nothing in my work to criticise, only my "teamwork and negative attitude".

I hope I get let go so I can get the chunk of money. I worry that they would falsely accuse me of serious shit if they somehow let me stay. If I fail probation it will be funny how much bigger my bank balance will be compared to when I started or if they keep me. Paying rent in London is a hoover of money, so saving is hard. And reference rules in the UK mean that all the company can say is that I worked here for a certain time.

It's like a law of nature that all low stakes office environments become female dominated vapid normie signalling fests. It's so surprising for me to see the hatred that some people have for people that don't act like ubernormies. I knew it in theory but to see it in practice is another thing. And the highest up male is a pencil neck weasely type (assuming he's on the womens' side). And my work is brainless and I spend at least 3.5 hours of every 8.5 hours doing nothing. But really, my main manager is the fulcrum.

It's bureaucracy that's detached from reality. I'm not totally against that, just stop the normie charade that comes with it. And the high level targets are flawed (I'm not annoying enough to point it out irl).

How quickly can I learn to code and avoid being dependent on peer assessment? Or is high finance the true way?

Currently have a 128GB iPhone XR. It's almost 3 years old but works fine. Was kind of a ripoff objectively but I had to get an iphone and i thought it was the best one at the time. Thinking of upgrading to get 5G and OLED. Budget is around 1k max but saving money is never a bad thing. What should I get /g? Pixel 6, Samsung Galaxy, iphone 13? Or just hold on to the XR for another year or two. No preference for OS.

We bring to you today an extremely poggers leak:

Twitch is an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions, operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc.

> Entirety of twitch.tv, with commit history going back to its early beginnings
> Mobile, desktop and video game console Twitch clients
> Various proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
> Every other property that Twitch owns including IGDB and CurseForge
> An unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios
> Twitch SOC internal red teaming tools (lol)

Imagine if you bought a helium HDD these days, they are 16TB in size?

How do you fill it if we make an artificial limit which says you cannot put any video innit?

Video =
-porn
-tv series
-home videos (worksafe)
-movies
-speed running games
-best youtube streams ever which you wanted to keep for yourself to watch later in case its removed from internet
-video surveillance footage
-nature documents

That leaves us with all other kind of content possible. How to get 16TB filled?

-RAW camera images (these can get large I presume, still you probably need millions of these to fill up a drive)
-MP3 music (you will never fill 16TB with this)
-.ISO images of Windows software, OS:es, games (there maybe 16TB worth of Windows software made during the years 2000 - 2020, not sure but I wouldnt say this is impossible)
-PDF documents (unsure if you can find 16TB of documents without there being serious problem with duplicates)
