Yeah, you’ll have to have a bypass list for some sites.

Honestly, unless you’re actually on a very limited connection, you probably won’t see any actual value from it. Even if you do cache everything, each site hosts their own copy of jQuery or whatever the kids use these days, and your proxy isn’t going to cache that any better than the client already does.

Yes, Windows peer to peer update downloads work over LAN. (In theory, I’ve never verified it.)

HTTP caching still works fine, if your proxy performs SSL termination and reencryption. In an enterprise environment that’s fine, for individuals it’s a non-starter. In this case, you’d want to have a local CDN mirror.

Where do you see that? The repo says you should be able to clone and run it.

Middle click on what? And which desktop environment?

They’re not required if you disable or block them. In an enterprise environment, you deploy a local update server, like I said.

As far as your personal devices are concerned, though, you’re on your own. If your iPhone refuses to do something because it wants an update, you’ll just have to wait to do that thing until you get home. We don’t have the bandwidth to spare.

Local mirrors and caching proxies.

I’ve worked in an environment like this. We had a local server for Windows and Mac updates. Direct updates were blocked. It’s a solved problem, you just need developers to participate.

I would start with your ISP’s list of supported devices.

They probably weren’t expecting this much, and didn’t pre-scale the server instances. Having more capacity than you need is expensive.

Steam pre-downloads are encrypted.

Agreed. Persisting through a wipe and reinstall is extremely unlikely. That kind of persistence isn’t used by people doing it for the lulz.

I’d definitely check for devices on the audio cable, suspicious USB devices, things like that. And we need more info about trying to isolate and identify the actual source of the sound itself (speakers, headphones, etc.)

Like you mentioned, if it happens even when the PC is off, then I’d look for some kind of annoyatron, not the PC.

It’s probably possible right now.

Is the package named findutils?

No, it does not. An HBA (or a raid controller flashed to IT mode I think) presents the disks directly to the system. I’ve done this several times.

From a live boot system, I don’t see why not. Compiling a system and writing it to disk should be relatively easy.

From a blank system and a blank thumb drive… No, unless your PC has some form of builtin command line. You’d either have to type in every line of code like you were using a PC from the 70s, or implement networking so that you could download it.

It helped me a ton this summer learn gardening basics and pick out local plants which are now feeding local pollinators. That is something i never had the motivation to tackle from scratch even though i knew i should.

Given the track record of some models, I’d question the accuracy of the information it gave you. I would have recommended consulting traditional sources.

This isn’t just being said, it’s being shown with data.

Have you considered just running an old version of Linux?
