~~I don't know what exactly the topic was, but I gues it might have been ham radio, in which case, yeah, it can't be encrypted, but you would also need a license and ID yourself with your callsign.~~ Found the link.
Transmission Frequency:
136-174 MHz / 400-470 MHz
Meshtastic uses (one of) license free bands (915MHz), that's basically free for all with Tx power limits. But that also means a lot of RFI from many random devices: thermometers, car keys, etc.
Might waste some more of their time though.

Nah, I tried Windows 11. That was more complex.
CLI magic to create local account on installation (apparently doesn't work anymore)
gpedit who knows what to disable automatic updates
disable BITS because it was hogging CPU
disable sysmain because it was hogging SSD and CPU
And then there were still random problems like advertisements that looked like programs which would actually download something upon clicking them (I remember seeing TikTok in the start menu). CPU would idle pretty low... until I connected it to network.
The picture often looks better in viewfinder than when I finally snap it.
Still sounds pretty complicated to me as a European. Schengen Area is pretty cool. No border checks, no stops, cross wherever, you don't even need a passport. Just the same ID I am required to carry with me anyway.
I was just checking around for GTA, and there comes my "future proof".
I thought I could get a used copy on DVD. First I checked GTA SA, apparently not usable because modern Windows dropped support for SecuROM which is required, and it probably wouldn't magically work under Wine either.
And I've found cheap boxed GTA V, except that apparently the activation code is single use, linked to account and non-transferable, so those discs are not very useful.
With consoles, you can buy a used disc and use it. And it also won't randomly stop working because the software became "old".
For PC, I think this is the case where piracy simplifies things.
Oof, hard one. My favorites are basically the GTA series. I like open world games where you can more or less do whatever. As such, GTA online also sounds nice.
But it's not really specific. Some games are good, some not. I also like Contra, Battletank, Donkey Kong, Galaga, F1 race, Lunar pool from NES games. They just work, and they can be learned as they aren't random. Well, Lunar pool feels a bit random-ish because it depends on aim and shooting strength.
But I'd also like to try going through The Last of Us for example. And Minecraft is kind of mandatory. I also like playing CODM on my phone as it's free, and has online multiplayer. For some reason, these games can often be free on Android. But I usually go playing it a lot for like 2 months in a year, and then almost never.
If you are willing to risk a little work, I found Linux Mint as an OS really easy to install and use, and then it will be future-proof (unlike windows) as well as free.
I use Arch, OS is taken care of. Awesome documentation, and I don't have to care about version upgrades because there's no such thing. I still don't know how to properly update Debian. Though Mint has GUI for that, so it's fine there.
The bootstrap image is also pretty cool. I wanted Arch on a VPS, but I couldn't boot any installer. I could however use provided Debian rescue environment to download the bootstrap image, chroot into it and use that as an installer. Really cool thing.
Considering that Steam comes pre-installed on Manjaro, that should be fine. Or at least it did when I tried it.
I've seen the anti-cheat warning on GTA V page on steam, plus it needs additional account on Rockstar Games. I like GTAs the most. But also, I apparently can't even buy the original GTA SA anymore. Seems like a mistake considering its popularity.
And it always causes issues.
Anyway, I hope the main joke got spotted too.
Let's Encrypt now does IP certs: https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability
Certbot doesn't seem to be up to the task yet, but lego works.
But I'll probably change it to some image host later, because I have no idea what I am doing.
Why does it not work... It embeds when creating the post.
Seems fine too, it's HTTPS after all, should work.
OK, seems that it's just the default LemmyUI that doesn't like it, which is strange for the number of pict-rs requests in access.log.
Also by the number of 429, 5r/s is probably too low. Was. Anyway...
OR, that's why there is the burst option. Right.

20 year old Russian man fined for searching "Azov brigade" and looking at images on Google
(novayagazeta.eu)
According to the prosecution, Glukhikh searched for pictures of Azov insignia on Google while he was on the bus on the morning of 24 September, though how the security forces had been made aware of the search was not disclosed.
The case materials include an image of Glukhikh’s phone lying on the table, clearly displaying the search query he is accused of making.
Bruh...

The checksums were verified against Cisco download center.

Corpo free money glitch - pay to hide your phone number, but 2nd party can pay some more to undo that

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.

You are both wrong. The salmon is silent, because it's a fish.
