So ~50 minutes by foot.
That's why I say "for future people".
Wouldn't that actually be a problem because it absorbs water?
I mean, I don't know how it works when it's in food. But psyllium husk is a bit interesting. Diarrhea? It absorbs water. Constipation? It absorbs water, and is something soft.
Now take too much or don't drink enough water and you're absolutely screwed.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6197948/
21-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department complaining of a lower abdominal pain and constipation for 5 days. [...] The patient was diagnosed to have a constipation and was discharged home on Psyllium (ispaghula husk) sachets 7 g twice daily as a laxative. [...] Repeated abdominal X-ray showed a huge fecal loading filling the whole colon with no gas fluid levels
During his stay in the hospital, the patient admitted that prior to the onset of the constipation he had ingested psyllium husks as herbal medicine for the purpose of weight control and health promotion. He ingested the husks without adequate amount of fluids because he was fasting in Ramadan (during fasting hours, no eating or drinking fluids are allowed). While in the hospital, the patient received repeated enemas. He passed a huge amount of fecal matter and the intestinal obstruction was relieved.
For the future people, who will be curious what is actually under that number: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/4269

Years longer than its days
That sounds oddly familiar
Duality of a man
That was way worse than I was expecting.

Okay it’s not as bad as I thought it would be
I don't know if this is supposed to otherwise be the "that piece of shit is definitely cheating on me" or "Oh no, it's 20:05. She said she would come back at 20:00. Holy shit, she's dead. She's dead, oh no. What happened? 20:06, yeah, she's dead. Fuck no!"
I am in 1st year of college, I don't drink, and I am failing.

Can I think about it, or am I at gunpoint?

Seen on Cisco Catalyst 3560G during pirated software update (just for playing around, not production use).
The checksums were verified against Cisco download center.
Sorry for the Imgur link, catbox wasn't loading as image, just as a link again: https://files.catbox.moe/j3a7cl.PNG
Approximately EUR 8 including shipping. Still sealed (probably - if not re-sealed).
There's definitely some more stuff in the box like a manual and driver disc that I can hear moving around. After all, the boxes are fairly large compared to what you'd get today.
I'd want to unpack them... but I also don't because they survived so long. I don't know. Maybe if I'll get yet another one...
Here's a look at the entire box:
Specs:
Bluetooth 1.2 Class 1
USB 1.1
Minimum requirements:
300MHz CPU
128MB RAM
Windows 98SE
So what about the Class 1?
Typically the devices you use are Class 2 with Tx power of up to 2.5mW and range of around 10m.
Class 1 can go up to 100mW with range of around 100m. Assuming both ends are same class. Otherwise you're just causing more interference on 2.4GHz.

It also has an external antenna giving it some cool factor.
Bought online for EUR 22.
At first I got worried because it was just clicking. I thought I got one with the click of death, But after some 15 minutes of several retries, it got quieter and eventually started loading disks.
Curiosity killed the cat. I was curious to see what's on them:
The ones on left had no files, the 2 on right did. Mostly the F disk. The top one had some program called powerdvd 4.
On the F one, photorec found some TTF files (fonts), exe files, 4 second videos of motorcycle speeding up and fireworks, CompCore Multimedia inc. SoftPeg bitmap banner, and some random TXT files with variables and program descriptions.
Stored undeleted were game saves of following games: Etherlords, Gorasul, Hooligans, Operation Flashpoint (incl. exe), Renegade, Sacrifice, Serious Sam - The second encounter
There were also some spreadsheets with lists of games, and of course RAR archive with colection of generic porn.
The only interesting file is spreadsheet with list of compenents for a "new computer". Most files were dates around 2002.

I lied, there's no Netflix.
Instead I have a local Jellyfin server with twenty terabytes of pirated media.
Found being sold online.
Right, so Racknerd doesn't offer Arch image:
As for custom ISO installers, that requires opening a ticket with tech support, giving them a link to the ISO, and asking them to mount it.
Well, I am not doing all that.
So, there's also this outdated (will become important later) "rescue environment":
Linux Kernel 4.x is Debian 9 and 3.x is Debian 8. I don't know why they couldn't just say that.
So, the recovery environment has some RAM (but seems to be less than the VPS), and some storage (around 1GiB). The free storage is around 350MiB.
The recovery environment can be accessed over SSH. OpenSSH 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4, on that older thing, if someone is curious. Modern OpenSSH client just complains about old key exchange (quantum-resistance), but connects.
Welp, Arch Linux bootstrap is 138MiB compressed, so let's go.
But not so quickly.
There's no wget, nor curl. So let's install them.
Well, apt no longer works. Old minimal environment without package installer. Cool.
I found some trick for HTTP on stackexchange using telnet. No telnet.
No lynx either.
So I downloaded it onto my PC. I first got the idea of unpacking it directly from different server, but yeah, right, no sshfs. That would have been useful for directly dd-ing images.
So I try to use rsync. Of course there's no rsync. scp saves the day.
Let's unpack the bootstrap now, shall we? We shall not, there's no zstd to decompress the archive.
The bootstrap won't fit uncompressed, and anyway, I am uploading over mobile data.
LET'S FUCKING GO! Gzip is installed.
I created a temporary 1.5GiB partition for the bootstrap, this later becomes swap space. And then I can more or less follow installation with Arch Wiki. There's also this wiki page, but it's mostly just regular Arch Install.
That's a very healthy memory usage. RAM nearly full when something else is running, swap typically above half. But their RAID-10 SSD setup seems to be doing well for that.
Speedtest, or really anything is mostly limited by that single virtual core.
I don't know what their shutdown, reboot, change root password, and reconfigure networking would do or screw up in this case. I haven't tried them yet.
The VNC cuts out with Cloudflare captcha every so often, by the way.
