openbsd is where some autists forked linux and decided "we're actually secure for some reason" while dressing up in police uniforms while adding some useless W^X or whatever

come on anon let's be serious now

There are only trolls, anonchik.

I think there's only a need to buy high-end hardware if you have high-end purposes. Middle of the range is perfectly sufficient for most people.
It used to be the case your hardware would be obsolete within a few years, these days it seems to improve far more slowly. RIP Murphy's Law. I guess that's to do with the minimum size of circuitry, quantum mechanics stuff.
If I can take care of it, I'm sure my navi will be good for a long time.

>old or new?
Always second-hand personally, as long as there's nothing visibly wrong with it. Paying the new hardware premium doesn't make much difference, usually.

Yeah pretty much, a few years ago I was very comfortable on a Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM. What I have now feels like more than I need.

yea like nixx said, there isnt much point in getting powerful components if all youre gonna do is shitpost online
it only makes sense to 'buy power that you just don't need' if you expect to do more and more intense tasks over time, like if you are a w*ndows user since m*cros*ft doubles the system requirements every year
but if you were gonna use your computer to do real computer stuff, youd know it
like image/video editing and gaming
so unless you have special needs, id say just but sth 2nd hand tbh
thats how i got the last computer that i actually paid for

didnt find any info on pluto on amd chips so that's kinda where you should limit yourself?
in any case it is joeover with unknown number of hidden chips inside your ryzen

as for gpu they have their own fucking bios in them
ddr5 still vulnerable to rowhammer variants
and where are PS/2 ports?

Old high end is cheap second hand. I like powerful workstation laptops that companies replace.
Good build quality, great screens and keyboards and often top tier specs for their time.
It's more than enough and a lot cheaper than any new mid tier.

> RIP Murphy's Law
Kek, you're thinking of Moore's Law. Murphy's is still very much alive and well I fear.

> So how does anyone else acquire their components?
factory sealed or used?
New parts for my gaeyming PeeCee but I'm a richfag paying the convenience tax. I know people who used eBay parts to assemble perfectly good Fortnite/CounterStrike/Rivals machines.
My laptop is a 5-year-old chromebook that I flashed with coreboot & installed Debian. 2 cores + 4GB enough to run a modern web browser which is realistically the most intensive application a vanilla user will need to run.
This of course assumes one is using not using modern windows, which requires 6 cores and 16GB ddr4 at an absolute minimum to be practically usable.

automated nids doesn't make any sense on a small scale
generating a statistical overview is good enough
just look at it yourself
a list of all ips will give enough insight to notice anything being wrong

have something that also logs the processes associated with the ips on the server that might get intruded
that can also make it very obvious something went wrong if an unknown process starts making connections

thank you rainon(s)

one will try

I once wrote a star system generator teaching myself C, because I'm big gay for astronomy
Other than that just convenience scripts for system management, tagging my music collection, stuff like that

Haven't made anything useful but I can proudly say that I've contributed to pretty significant projects, OpenSSH being my biggest achievement

3 body simulation. Then i got bored and post here.

Archfags can't into Gentoo that's why they shill Arch

gitgud faggot

Arch Linux is bloat

For me, it's Fedora.

>>29
Gentoo faggots are too busy huffing their superiority copium that they don't get anything done other than contributing mediocre code to their shit FLOSS projects that nobody uses but themselves.
People who stan distros like you are cringe.

Fedora, Debian, or Ubuntu for people who get ACTUAL work done.

burn in hell. BURN IN HELL
>or maybe
maybe arch/distros should post what they ship by default and what they actually lack in their core/universe, because what they shill is that we got EVERYTHING RAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGH
they just don't and you have to compile and a lot, so there's less incentive to fuck with A SUPEREME BISTRO they call themselves. i actually installed artix.

>>11
you are seething so much that its getting in the way of intelligibility
try again but without being so mad and bald?

>>11
It's only an operating system, you sound like someone just insulted your mother

>maybe arch/distros should post what they ship by default
There is a package list available online
https://archlinux.org/packages/

>what they shill
>they
The only thing Arch itself claims to is a minimal base install, flexibility and rolling release packages. When you say 'they' it makes me think you're speaking of 'tubers which aren't an authoritative source, you should do your own research. I don't think any distro has literally everything.

>they just don't and you have to compile and a lot
I only have a handful of programs I've had to compile myself, but I guess it depends on your use case.

Omarchy solves this.
