Any printer that supports Mopria or AirPrint will work on Linux without installing any drivers.

I prefer using older Brother laser printers that don't have any chips in the toner cartridges. I have an HL-4150CDN and a DCP-7065DN.

I've had torrents run for months. Usually with just one seeder that only connects periodically.

They still make cases without side windows if you don't want to see the lights.

Dynamic DNS has been around forever. A program monitors your public IP address and updates the DNS record when it changes. You can even use a service like FreeDNS if you don't want to pay for a domain.

But it might be the case, if stuff like generative AI is in major demand, that sticking more parallel compute cards in systems might become a thing.

Then you could be looking at multiple kilowatts being supplied by the motherboard. It would need large busbars if they stuck with 12V.

DoH is tricky to block since it's just using https on port 443. The only options are blocklists of known servers and attempting to detect it with deep packet inspection.

It was a 1950x. I canceled the transcode after several hours and it only got though a couple minutes of 1080p video. I don't remember the exact times, it was about 5 years ago. I haven't bothered with AV1 since then.

You could get a bunch of the cheap EEPROM type smart cards and use them to launch programs or play music or something.

I don't use chrome though. The ad blocking DNS server really seems to cut down on ads in apps. I use uBlock Origin in Firefox, so I don't need DNS based ad blocking for that.

Yeah, there's no way I'm buying an internet connected fridge with a giant screen.

Android already supports DoH. It's called Private DNS. I've been using it for system wide ad blocking for years.

Just require any new operating systems to support 15 year old hardware. We should require manufacturers to provide 15 years of UEFI and firmware updates too.
