I'm in the process of building a PC and will be moving states next month. Ideally, I'd like to at least get it built and booted up before moving, because I'm moving to a more rural area without easy access to a MicroCenter or other store that sells components. It'll be a ~700 mile drive, the second half of which will be through smaller mountain roads. What is the best way to do this, so I can avoid damaging any components?

Edit: Thanks for the advice everybody, the consensus seems to be to remove and package separately the hard disks, GPU, and anything else heavy that sticks out from the board, then wrap the whole thing in towels and blankets and lay it on its back for the duration of the journey.

How do pirate? (lemmy.world)

I'm moving in a week and changing my ISP, so my plan is just to pirate a few terabytes of music and games on this IP and dip out. I've never pirated anything before though, what's the easiest way for me to do this?

Pretend that OP had his fragile ego damaged by your stupid, inane, misguided, stupid take >:(

two hours is waaaay out there guys!

My sides are in orbit! Here is a side-by side of the Alps

next to a small section of the American Rockies,

which is still nothing compared to Canada (yes there are people in that big empty area).

No offense, but true European rural doesn't exist.

I kept closing tabs and they kept reopening with ads. It must be a sign.

I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I'd like to learn. I'm not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I'm not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

You have no place talking about astronomy when you keep calling it astrology.

80 years of living in the church of capitalism will do that to you.
