One system is this one, Windows 10 22H2. This is my main internet connection. I can turn VPN on or off. It is a good idea to set your maximum cpu usage on the internet computer to 99%, this will keep turbo mode off, increase speed, decrease temp in case someone tries to max your puter out.

The second is Windows 11 21H2. This is my VPN internet connection. I make a point of always turning VPN on. I am not a registered user on any site on this computer.
The third is Windows 11 25H2. I do not install any programs on this system, nor do I modify it in any way. It is for emergencies. Always available.

I only back up this system for complete restore. I use the Windows back up and I back it up to the larger drive on this system. I also use the Windows back up for swapping out the boot drive on my other computers, it works without flaw. I used it last week to swap out the NMVe on my primary work computer. The original was down to about 65 percent good, it is now back up to 100.

I use EasyBCD, it is a free program. You can fuck up with it, I did, I deleted the boot record, just to see if I could use the restore tools to fix it, and I did.
I make a point of buying a good low end computer for the internet, they do not cost much, and they are easy to fix.

My Home Network is not connected to this computer. This computer is air gapped for security.

All of the windows systems are up to date.
Basically, I use the Net for a library and I contribute to that library. A very simple life.

How do you set up your computer/s ?

4. Have a picnic (indoors if necessary)
Food tastes better when it’s eaten outside, on a blanket, in the company of ants. Or in the arboretum. Pack up your favorite nibbles and head somewhere lovely and green – here are some great ideas for easy, delicious picnic food.

6. Host a clothing swap
Invite your favorite ladies to your place, bringing over the clothes and accessories that they’re no longer feeling to trade with each other. Borrow a few full length mirrors, put on some RuPaul, throw together some cheap appetizers and you’ve got a super cheap, really fun party.

12. Karaoke
I looooove karaoke. Largely because I’m (erroneously) convinced that I can rock ‘Heart of Glass’ like no other. If you’re too shy to take part, at least you can be entertained by the group of ladies yelling out ‘I Will Survive’ or the fifteen dudes who are going to sing that song about having friends in low places. Here are 10 karaoke songs for bad singers.
