Running Linux and tightening up your browser should be good enough.

And I'm good at it. Usually flies.

A file server with a reliable disk subsystem and file system that is maintained well, or a company that probably won't be around any more in 20 years?

I still have some superfluous debugging code in a project that literally does nothing in the production version but without it the code crashes randomly after a week or so; a classic Heisenbug. It's clearly data trashed by a wild pointer but I could never find who did it since it's a large multithreaded program that depends on hardware behavior. Neither valgrind nor Coverity were of any help. It's too big to be rewritten so we just have to live with it.

Accept the walled garden. Even if you find a fix now Apple will probably break it with the next release.

I bought a Banana Pi as a download/torrent box. Only slightly more expensive (especially if you include shipping) but with a SATA port that gives me about 60MB/s. And it runs Raspbian.

And he doesn't know the singular of phenomena. Fail.

You could get past money in a command economy. You only need money if there is a maeket.

There is SciFi with economic plausibility: dystopian.

Yup. The 70s (maybe late 60s too) were enlightened and progressive compared to today. Back to the Victorians, yay!

Not these?

I'm partial to IBM/Unicomp buckling spring keyboards.

If I read something at full brightness on my laptop I won't fall asleep either. Conversely, if I reduce the brightness to minimum over a minute or two I'll fall asleep soon.

You need N+2 redundancy for large drives. RAID1 or RAID5 will lead to data loss with good probability when a drive has failed, needs to be rebuilt and you get read errors on the remaining drives. The raw read error rate has been unchanged ar 10^-14 despite huge capacity growth.

Yeah, I'd like to see some matter from that star or system interact with something else at "normal" galactic speeds. That would be awesome, space opera stuff a la Doc Smith. A meteor or asteroid at 1/3rd c? Randall Munroe should look into this.
