I've been doing some scouring and my search results are coming back confusing. Usually either incomplete information, or some kind of sales spam, so I'm reaching out in the hopes of recommendations for actual linux users and fans. I am looking for a very small, tiny even, security/privacy focused distro. I don't mind doing some work to set it up (though LFS may kill me!)

Here is what I have.

  • RAM: 2GB (yep. Seriously. None-upgradable).
  • HDD: 20GB (say 19GB)
  • Processor: Intel Celeron N3350 (2334Mhz average)
  • GPU (hah): Intel HD Graphics 500 (Integrated)

Wishlist

  • Graphical user interface (I appreciate it's going to be very basic)
  • Arch based (I love the AUR and pacman)
  • Base runs on less than 512MB of RAM, Arch Linux is a minimum of 512MB.

The software I plan to run on said device, so to give some kind of guidance of how much RAM we're working with.

  • Tor Expert and Tor Browser bundles or Mull.
  • Virtual machine (of some kind) with Whonix
  • MariaDB
  • RClone
  • VLC/Smplayer (which ever is smaller)
  • VPN client
  • Rustdesk (I can't find anything smaller than actually works)
  • ZSnes
  • SimpleX
  • Deluge (DelugeD with thin-client)
  • LibreOffice (until I can find a lighter alternative, but I need the BASIC capabilities).

Solution

Gonna correct, this is false-ish... however it is much slower. By the time you're 50 for example all of the neurons in your hippocampus will have been replaced. It's called neurogenesis. It is not currently known whether its the same rate for all of the brain some parts are a little faster, other parts are slower.

All pawn are actually female, because at most, they can only ever be Queens.

The popular vote doesn't matter in America. Just ask Trump who lost the popular vote yet won the presidency. Biden needs the electoral college votes to be elected and some of those are deep in Israeli pockets.

The mass graves for starters that were discovered after the IDF left the area. The indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, UN assigned refugee camps don't go amiss either. The forceful expulsion of millions of people from their homes to ever smaller and smaller parts of Gaza. Perhaps where the IDF told people to go to certain places for safety and then promptly bombed those places.This is supported by statements made my ministers or representatives in the Israeli legislature and government, including current and former ministers. The denial/restriction of aid and water.

This is completely aside from using trumped up evidence absent charges that members of the UN agency were supporting Hamas in order to disrupt funding to a UN refugee agency. They also used this as an excuse to raid hospitals providing necessary medical care, doctors and nurses have been killed. Oh and killing aid workers... repeatedly. I think the first excuse was "it wasn't us" which turned into "it was us but it was an accident" to "it was us, we deemed them a thread"... another incident was... World Kitchen? That was just such a shitshow for the IDF that someone actually got the boot.

There's plenty of evidence available, it's literally everywhere and often published/reported on by international media.

Politically, he can't. I think he's actually going further than 90% of other presidents would be prepared to do by delaying arms. He's even leaned into the 'pro-Israeli' crowd and given Israel so much benefit of the doubt lest he be called out as anti-Semitic.

Realistically, I don't think he enjoys being in this position either, but if the Israeli lobby switch to the Republicans, its cuts off a lot of support.

Don't forget that Hamas are terrorists, they condoned and supported the October 7th atrocities and from what I've heard from the hostages, some of them were not great to their captives to say the least. Hamas do need to be removed from power.

Is Israel going too far? Yes, yes they are... can you win the next election by being seen to support Hamas? Even if what you're actually doing is trying to protect civilians? Nope. Until someone makes a decision that Israel are actually committing genocide (and in my opinion based on the evidence I've observed, this seems very likely), I don't think the president has a political leg to stand on. Once that decision is made, I believe Israel will see international support begin to fade.

Disclaimer: The use of the word "Israel" is limited to Benjamin Netanyahu, the IDF, the ruling government the Likud party.
