Work in Progress

Observation

This is a 3rd laptop I got for repairs in our Hackerspace, it's apparently caused by Windows Update which tried to flash the BIOS chip and fails during the operation resulting in corrupted/malfunctioning data on the NAND chip used by the firmware for system initialization.

Lenovo apparently foresaw this issue happening and put 2 footprints on the PCB for 2 NAND chips, but only populated one.. cheap fucks! If they populated both this issue could have been prevented..

How to fix

Emacs isn't just an editor, it’s an entire Emacs Lisp interpreter and environment. We can use Emacs Lisp not only to extend and customize our beloved editor, but also to write entire programs and applications. Nic Ferrier’s [elnode][] server is the most ambitious Emacs Lisp application of this sort, but we can start at a smaller scale and try to write our shell scripts and tools with Emacs Lisp.

However, it turns out that writing programs in Emacs Lisp is more intricate than it looks at a first glance. Emacs decades-long history as interactive application have left deep marks in Emacs and Emacs Lisp, which make independent

Problem

Tor is being blocked on some sites which makes it painful to use

Best known solution

User -> ISP(?) -> Tor -> Proxy -> Internet

This makes the tor traffic visible to the proxy provider so it should be used only on websites that doesn't track you via cookies and fingerprinting so that in the expected scenario the proxy provider is expected to know only that "Someone on onion network is accessing this site" and should be used only to selected sites that block tor

Help krey being more productive by recommending him games to play on weak notebook

Looking for recommendations of games to play on this system:

OS: Kreyrock Linux 9999 Anubis x86_64 
Host: 20089 Lenovo G770 
Kernel: 5.6.0-18.1-liquorix-amd64

TLDR for freenode registration is:

Open an IRC client which is either https://webchat.freenode.net or install hexchat https://hexchat.github.io/ (note that the non-windows store version is free)

For Hexchat

Download hexchat 2.1 On Linux hexchat should be packaged by your distribution so you can install it for example using apt install -y hexchat 2.2 On windows use https://hexchat.github.io/downloads.html and download windows 7 executable which is free
Open hexchat and navigate to Server List
On server list find Freenode
