If you need IPv6, you can get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric. They will give you a /48 if you request it. I used it for years since my old ISP didn't have IPv6. I am close to one of their servers, so the latency was very low.

Double that and you could probably even run a GUI.
If you only have one slot, you can always put the old drive in a USB4 enclosure and turn it into a really fast flash drive.
The software that can legally play a UHD bluray doesn't even work with modern CPUs since it requires the SGX instructions. You have to get a specific drive that's not made anymore, flash it with custom firmware and rip the movie with MakeMKV.
Widevine L3 can be screen captured on Linux. Widevine L1 only plays on certain "trusted" hardware and can't be screen captured.
During solar maximum, the lifetime of a satellite could be reduced by up to 10 days, the researchers say.
I'm sure they have, but it doesn't make a significant difference. The headline is just clickbait.
The problem with laser communication is that it doesn't take much rain, snow or fog to block the signal.
I unplug the switching power supplies when I'm not using them because I don't want to listen to the RFI that they produce.
Electrolytic capacitors wear out due to age whether they are used or not. Heat makes them wear out significantly faster. If the power supply is not under load, it shouldn't be producing any noticeable amount of heat.
I hate streaming anything unless it's coming from my server.
Bandwidth and storage is expensive, so free streams will usually be heavily compressed and look terrible.
They could have just used normal 8 pin connectors in that case.
Streaming sites go down all the time and the quality is usually terrible. Downloading the same stuff every time you want to watch it is just wasting the seeders bandwidth.
