adding a link mostly for future thread visitors:

https://www.howtogeek.com/6169/use-truecrypt-to-secure-your-data/

yes the link says "truecrypt" but the how-to says "veracrypt" ... who knows why? ymmv.

the fine folks over at Tiny Core Linux Forum are also talking about 32-bit Firefox:

(fyi, nevertheless the OP OT issue regarding cpu not supporting SSE3 is probably a non-starter)

ai/llvm/bot traffic, ftw...

it is what it is...sigh...

found a few articles/commentaries/guides/etc but haven't read them yet:

very much appreciate Cameron Kaiser's latest:

strongly encourage visits to Cameron Kaiser's website:

also see What's In The Retro Room and Server Room

as well as the fun had by all unboxing the Raptor Talos II

or perhaps you'd enjoy a trip down the gopher hole

geminispace?

Super Dimension Fortress?

enjoy!

thought of another interesting webpage(not Cameron Kaiser):
https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/

major kudos and hat-tip to @Andre4freedom for expending their finite, valuable time and energy to actually post...what the rest of us were thinking.

this thread makes me want to dig out my Q6600 and Q8200 quad-core machines...iirc they still have beowulf on spinning rust...sounds like a rainy day endeavour.

transcript of Alan Watts: The Individual & The World

https://www.organism.earth/library/document/individual-and-the-world

pro-tip: if you toggle to "reader view" in firefox you can then fairly easily select all and cut/paste into a simple text document/file for offline reading(roughly a 150KB file / 24 page pdf)

more: the link referenced in the previous post is probably not the best offered at yt(commenters complained of numerous ads/commercials through the near 4hr audio-only "video" although i didn't personally sample said 4hrs)

another possible resource:

speaking of surprises reminded me of this regarding ACL breakage:

thanks to everyone who is talented enough to continue to investigate "the borking"

hopefully a fix can be found
