Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Probably order a Digikey catalog. Do they still make printed catalogs? No idea. Then I'd download as many Kicad libraries as I could find.
I'd scrape, as best I can, the online stores of anywhere I'd expect to need to buy from. Hopefully they'll set up phone lines to order through.
I'd download as many Steam games as I could fit, starting with the smallest. I have a bunch that I got from sales for like a dollar, and haven't played yet. I'd probably try to organize LAN parties for Factorio, Total Warhammer, Phasmophobia, and 7 Days to Die. I'd get a crack for Steam, to let me play all my games offline. I know it has an offline mode, but sometimes it doesn't work, and asks you to sign in, so I'd have the crack ready in case offline mode stopped working.
I'd download full disc sets of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora (which I've never run, but maybe I'd try). The full sets, the ones with every single package, so I could install any package I wanted without Internet access.
I'd find a local Linux users group, so I could bring my questions there instead of web searching. And help others with their questions when they can't web search either.
I'd find books and videos to watch, by going to torrent sites and sorting by seeders.
