I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.

No P2P with free Proton.

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.

This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.

Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

Yeah, no. As soon as I looked into this it requires subscription. Also, the GUI is suspiciously old. Like GNOME from 15+ years ago old.

Maybe I’m blind, maybe it’s me viewing this on a phone, but I legitimately can’t tell the difference.

Thanks for the reply. It might be a good option.

I’ll look into that, for sure. Do you have a link to a quick guide to that?

The last time I tried there, the video would expire. I’ll look around if there is a paid solution.

I am a machinist by trade. I have to know these functions in order to do machine setups, calculate points on a tangent radius, etc.

I use these functions literally everyday.

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I’ll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: http://websdr.org/

I almost hate to recommend it, but r/rtlsdr is the place to go.

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone’s antenna.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

I’m not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.

You forgot the pop-ups, forced midi music, easily injected malware, difficulty in verifying sources, html frames that frequently broke, the entire concept of needing a site map, fucking keywords, true banner ads that could force clicks with Javascript, and RealPlayer to name a few. I don’t miss it at all.

The one time I’ve had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.
