Or you could just look at the json file where the anwsers are stored :)

Off the top of my head and according to what he meant by single number:

- As a single entity: I usually think in decimal so you could write a "single" decimal number (e.g. 234) and convert it to binary and the 1 and 0 character mean Yes / No.

- As a single character: You could just write a random character (e.g. ॐ ), specifying that is has to be interpreted as a number in Base N+1 and ॐ + 1 = 10. This is useless though.

I changed my port from 22 to a higher one and the user attempts are completely gone.

Only nuisance is that the higher ports may be blocked, for example my uni blocks my new ssh port so I can't connect to the vps when I'm on campus.

Nowadays native games usually don't have issues and for the other ones wine often works, even with a somewhat unusual tiling window manager (Xmonad).

Performance is still not as good as on Windows though. For example I can't play Dota 2 because of low fps on linux but on windows it is playable.

My primary browser has JS, cookies and plugins completely disabled, and when I open a link and get nothing but a white page it is pretty frustrating. I understand that with these settings i'm not going to see any fancy animations, menus, ads, games, ecc but I at least expect to see some text.

I don't expect nothing else, if I can get some text I'm happy.

My distro's tor setup (arch in this case) should default to not being an exit node, relevant default lines in the torrc:

  ExitPolicy accept *:6660-6667,reject *:* # allow irc ports but no more
  ExitPolicy accept *:119 # accept nntp as well as default exit policy
  ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed

Installing via `pacman -S tor` and enabling via `systemctl enable tor.service` doesn't start an exit node / relay but a simple client.

Are you using linux, windows or osx?

I hear this a lot every time arch is mentioned.

So I decided to actually write down every time my arch install stopped working. I only managed to continue doing so for a couple of months and it's only representative of my pc so take it with the usual grain of salt. I usually run pacman -Syu every day.

That being said in 2 months I had these problems:

05/10/2013 Slim changed the xsession name, I had to edit manually slim.conf

14/10/2013 linux-ck kernel upgrade broke xorg so I had to downgrade until it was fixed

29/10/2013 xmobar template had to be slightly modified

02/11/2013 Calibre didn't start, imagemagik was broken, had to downgrade until it was fixed

So 4 problems in 2 months. I'm sure I didn't write down everything since it was a little tedious.

Would i recommend you use it on a production server? Is the time you spend on paying attention worth it? I haven't the foggiest.

While i agree that xmonad is a bit of a pain to configure the first time around (especially if you're not used to writing code in haskell) I find that you can use the mouse pretty extensively with xmonad.

For example with this in my xmonad.hs:

  ((0,9), (\_ -> moveTo Next NonEmptyWS))
  ((0,8), (\_ -> moveTo Prev NonEmptyWS))

I can move between work spaces with only my mouse (In this case with the extra 2 buttons on the left).
