By installing Gentoo

Gentoo is unhackable?

Nobody cares about your anime porn subscription. You will be fine.

if you want to work with hardware only, you should join the military or be a field tech on websites like field nation

>>57052409

I always wanted to deal with hardware exclusivly but i did not know that electrical engineer was that path....don't you have to learn about circuitry and circuit boards and all that shit as well?

transistors and capacitors and all that jazz?

Either get Protonmail or whatever email addon your domain servicer/webhost has.

>tfw protonmail traffic goes through the IDF

No thanks.

Yes it's worth it
But use Authy or something it's really easy

>>57052297
I didn't know you could do that, pretty neat

>>57052284
yeah I have authy + a Yubikey

>>57052076
Have all of your shit ready before hand, don't do any actual hacking.

>>57052076
If you can join a team before the event, do it. Having a working idea in your head going in puts you at a huge advantage.

Install Node.js. I'm not even kidding. If you don't know Javascript, hit Codecademy right now.

Remember that you're essentially building an MVP (minimum viable product). That is, if you chose to make a startup out of it, you could publish it online as a 1.0 version only a few hours after the hackathon ended. It's gonna be really rough in spots, but it needs to be usable.

Try to have a UI/UX designer on your team. Presentation is a part of how the judges score your hack. (It's not as big as the functionality aspect, but it can still fuck you over if your hack doesn't have at least one thing with parallax. I mean, you are hacking for an investment bank.)

You're there to try to win the hackathon. But you're also there to learn. There's an old saying that goes "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." Roughly translated, it means give it your best. Because even if you don't come close to winning, you're still going to learn more in that small time period than a few weeks of reading books.

Oh, and bring business cards with you. Stay in contact with people you meet. They can become invaluable connections.

And finally, have fun! Don't go overboard on the free food and Red Bull, though. (It's way too easy to eat more garbage than you need at hackathons.)

What went wrong at the last one?

None.

But why?

>>57051979
On*

>>57051978
No, Arch
Install gentoo

10/fedora

its a good desktop distro if you work in sysops and with el servers

>>57051847
that's a game? looks shit

>he doesn't know about TIS-100

>>>/b/

>>57051862
Yes.

I haven't played it yet, I just learned about it today. It's a puzzle game where you fix bits of assembly in a fake computer to get the program to run correctly.

>>57051807
How exactly would you expect something like that to cost any less...?

>>57051820
You can buy a phone for 100 bucks and it's smaller

>>57051827

Then why don't you buy a phone for $100 and install Lincux on it and stick it into your 5.25 drive bay.

>>57051802
No one recommended Arch, retard.

>>57051808
LITERALLY 90% of /g/ uses arch, how is that not a recommendation

I am literally downloading Arch Anywhere and going to try it.

Looks edgy as fuck. I would probably wear it when i was 14

>>57051736
Don't

What distribution is that? Looks comfy

because macOS is the best looking OS

>>57051728
Because OS X was designed by capable talented people.
It stands the test of time despite the changes only being incremental
