  • Bodhi Linux. I have an old hp desktop and it only has 2 gb of ram and 2 cores. I wanted a real lightweight distro and settled on arch linux but one day i tripped and knocked the tower over. When i booted it back up i had the infamous blinking underscore. I tried reinstalling arch multiple times and it kept failing, so i tried a lightweight arch based distro called archbang, same issue. I tried manjaro same issue.

    At this point i wanted to try something not arch based but wanted something that came with minimal preinstalled programs like arch. Research led me to bodhi which is a light weight distro based on ubuntu. Installed with no issues and been using it ever since, about 3 years now.

    Don’t know what i damaged on the motherboard but it must have been something integral to arch based distros, but i’m kind of glad it happened because i love bodhi now

    It has allowed an ancient computer to do so much. I’ve run matrix servers and web servers, written my own webapps to run on it and so much more









    1. Doesn’t really matter imo. Internally maybe slightly faster, maybe some games require internal, but i run games on my external, loading may go slower unless you have a nice chunk of ram.

    2. Seed

    3. What do you mean by safer? Both can be dangerous if it executes code. If you mean getting caught torrenting leaks your ip address (hence why people use vpn)

    If you dont want to spend money there is i2p, set up an i2p router, configure a browser to use it, http://2.postman.i2p is a tracker there, just paste the magnet into i2psnark, no vpn required.

    Note it will be much slower download

  • These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.

    I think this is rather silly. You find a correlation between vaccine hesitancy and reckless driving and that is supposed to make people want to get the vaccine? It’s not like the vaccine makes you a better driver, they even later mention that it is most likely due to the fact that these individuals neglect safety precautions in multiple areas. Getting the vaccine will not change these statistics
