Plenty of time to teach yourself binary exploitation.

You can run Steam games with no DRM without running Steam.

In addition to the carbon monoxide problem, is there also not the issue that fuel last only for half a year (a bit more with some additives) ?

Btw, anyone know how entities (e.g. hospitals) with fuel-based emergency generators manage their fuel supply?

They use diesel

Wait, so what happens if you try to run a car that's been sitting there for more than half a year? Does the gas just not work? Or does it explode or something?

[–] wizzim@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

In general, gasoline and diesel can be stored for 6 months to 1 year without significant degradation if they are stored in a clean, sealed, and dry container or tank, away from sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition. However, fuel that is exposed to oxygen, moisture, or contaminants can deteriorate more quickly, resulting in reduced quality, lower octane rating, and increased levels of sediments or sludge.

So yeah, the trope of hopping in an abandoned car after the zombie apocalypse does not work 😂

I bought a gasoline powered motor home that had been sitting for about 5 years unused.

I tried to fill the tank with fresh gas and hope it would offset the bad gas.

Although I did drive it some, it was hard to start and ran poorly. Eventually I just had to replace the ~~diesel~~ fuel pumps and get the injectors cleaned. Lot of work. In the end I wished I had just drained the tank and put fresh gas in before anything else.

There are ways to store fuel for a very long time, preserving additives you can put in, and filtration systems intended to preserve diesel for a long time. Also, apparently kerosene has an incredible shelf life.

Call me crazy, but I would miss my League of Legends.

This is why you get yourself some sixth gen consoles.

Find something to hate all you want, but the major Bethesda releases into today with a bunch of mod profiles could keep me in offline paradise for decades.

And it's a bitch to get working right, and takes mods to do so, but you get Skyrim VR the working properly, and you won't miss any of the modern live service bullshit.
