Old-Abandoned-Farm-House-in-Ontario-22-378234704.jpg
[Hide] (269.9KB, 2048x1365) Reverse
I grew up in a rural place in the early 2000s. North of me was an abandoned farmstead, and further north was an abandoned house. East of me was an abandoned farmstead. And north west of my home was another abandoned house. 
Up the river from my house was yet another abandoned house. And there were ruins of houses everywhere in the woods from homes abandoned in the 1970s and 80s.

It was flipping awesome.

It occurred to me: Is this normal?
I live in an area where I'd have to travel a few miles to find an abandoned house (I only know of a few here)
Do you see a lot of abandoned homes or was this something that existed back in the 2000s because of some economic calamity or mud flood or something back in the dark 1980s-90s?

In unsightly places full of dumb evil Christian rednecks like Kansas and West Virginia not yet but it will happen. Since covid a lot of people, left-wing and right-wing, left the cities and moved to Appalachia and the northwest, where in the former farmland gets cleared for cookie cutter suburban homes and in the latter where mountains are cleared of their trees or even sheared to build McMansions.

Not necessarily, and even if it were, one savvy person could use thousands of connections to "downvote" posts on a "democratic" software and still ruin discussion anyway. That's how I've seen such a thing proposed before, anyway, trying to let the userbase moderate things.

No one is forcing you to install Steam, anon. It's just the most braindead "just werks" solution for people who can't be fucked to learn anything or have to interact with any kind of installation process.

Lutris also works fine, but you might actually have to download an installer and maybe even configure something basic, although Lutris's whole thing is that it has installation scripts for an enormous db of games that take care of everything for you. It's just slightly less braindead than Steam.

Then there is setting up shit like WINE (maybe using winetricks) to run shit, which also works just fine (ie. it just runs like it does on Windows) most of the time but can end up making you have to learn how to configure shit. Both Steam and Lutris use WINE under the hood, by the way.

You will get better HW and software compatibility if you run GNU+Lunix and use Wine/Proton (I recommend Bottles and Protontricks). I recommend that you pick a popular distro. But make sure to not install Manjaro because it sucks, see https://archive.li/B8yll (https://github.com/arindas/manjarno). I recommend just learning how to use Arch Linux (or Artix) if you want to use Arch. But keep in mind that Linux Mint and Ubuntu are much easier to use than Arch (or Arch derivatives) and they work out of the box.

I never said that dumbass. You should install an actual firewall and have something on the router level too. If you install that and run antivirus and use an up-to-date browser you will generally be fine.

If you want to put on your security hat you can run services.msc and start disabling services you don't like and if you want to be real fancy you might use gpedit.msc and regedit to tweak more crap to try to harden Xp a bit. Disabling SMB - https://t0nc10.medium.com/disable-smb-protocol-on-windows-xp-c030e3e221fe - is also a smart move to protect your PC from shit like WannaCrypt.
Replies: >>260636
>>260634
I think disabling SMB should also protect you from shit like >>>/tech/3444 did, but you can also protect yourself from that one just by going over the user account passwords & permissions, although a firewall should be blocking it to begin with. If you're familiar with a command prompt you can use the "net user" command to look over that shit and password/configure hidden accounts appropriately, but there are other ways to look over what all the user accounts on your PC are too, like the control panel (probably whatever advanced administrator tools it has) or just running compmgmt.msc.

If you're wondering how to run shit like services.msc/gpedit.msc/compmgmt.msc, you just use the run command on the start menu (or press StartKey+R).

You don't even need fucking CSS. People are making tools to facilitate retards who only know how to do shit one way at the expense of ginormous fucking unnecessary bloat and new weird bugs and shit. Fucking marketing fads have taken over programming with their obsessive frameworks and platforms bullshit and the result is this enormous bundling of unnecessary cruft to do shit in roundabout ways and all of it turns out that when you have over 1000x the normal amount of code running to achieve basic fucking tasks the risk of bugs, compatibility issues, and strange slowdowns goes up, who knew. Not to mention that enabling people to be retarded programmers will result in more retarded code that does shit in an unsafe or errorprone way.
