iirc the Linux kernel dropped support for pre-Pentium x86 in the last few years, so any distro with 486 support now would be using an unmaintained kernel.

I think if you want a maintained operating system for your 486 today, NetBSD is probably the thing to run.

Probably fake or misleading

fwiw the first and last images in this post both were first published in this USA today article back in April, attributed to anonymous crew members of the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln.

There aren’t enough calories pictured in these images

It looks like for most IP addresses in the world it says “no products available for this region”.

For IPs that geolocate to the USA, it’s currently offering four different varieties of $65/kilo ($30/lb) coffee with low-effort nerdy names (eg “404” and “dark mode”).

The TUI-based shop is a cute gimmick but they are insufficiently committed to the bit: when i went to checkout it told me that i need an ssh key and directed me to the FAQ… on their website 😢

i guess this isn’t a problem for ssh users who (a) have at least one ssh key in their environment and (b) don’t set IdentitiesOnly yes (and thus send a list of all of their ssh keys to every host they connect to) but it’s weird that they didn’t bother to include their FAQ in their ssh TUI.

i see you’re replying to the joke comments but ignoring the ones posted many hours earlier which helpfully explain what is wrong with the premise of your post (eg, this and this and this).

It is risky to carry encrypted devices across the border which you are not prepared to give them the passwords to.

In most cases they won’t ask you to decrypt anything, but they do sometimes randomly and when they do if you refuse then you can/will be denied entry and/or they’ll keep the device(s) indefinitely.

One approach to avoid this problem is to create an encrypted disk image (your operating system hopefully comes with a program to do this, you shouldn’t need to install anything) and then store it online somewhere and then download it after you’ve crossed the border. Read about how to pick a strong yet memorable passphrase.

It was reported last year that the US was going to start requiring that you disclose all of your social media accounts used in the previous five years, but that did not actually go into effect in December as it had been announced that it would. Something along those lines could still happen later this year though: Here and here are articles from March and May of this year about it.

cross-posting my comment from another thread:

Nice, 🍻 to the people who made this happen.

I couldn’t make it through that interview with the former Google employee, though. A few minor fact checks from before I stopped reading:

I don’t know if you know this, Mike, but the word “boycott” was actually coined in Ireland. Boycott was an individual, an Irish person, and that person actually got boycotted.

Almost correct, except the part about Charles Boycott being an Irish person. (He was unsurprisingly actually English.)

I worked for Google. I worked for Google at a time when… I don’t think they were as evil as they are now. And I worked for Google at a time when they did not use their technology for warfare or for governments. I really enjoyed my time at Google. And I am personally heartbroken at the path that they have taken, and I fully support the boycott of Google in order to support the Palestinian people.

I wonder when it was that this person thinks Google “did not use their technology for warfare or for governments”. I guess they probably think Google only turned evil in 2018, when Project Maven started getting more press? Anyway, such a time never existed; the project which became Google was created by and for US intelligence. https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e

And it’s sickening to think that an organization like Anthropic can come in here, be given tax breaks, being given great publicity, and yet go on to commit the murder of over 160 schoolgirls in Minab, in Iran, but the Irish government says, “Welcome, Anthropic.”

Fuck Anthropic for (among other things) their Department of War contracts, but them taking the blame for the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School massacre is some bullshit: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying
