How pracitcal of a choice is red star os for my type writer machine? It doesn't need to do much besides send emails and use vim. (lemmygrad.ml)

Use an OS that receives updates

Why are updates important for a type writer?

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's a type writer connected to the internet. You'll probably want those updates to at least cover discovered security vulnerabilities.

What if it was never given access to anything but my local network? Not trying to ask stupid questions. I know literally only enough to be dangerous to myself.

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Is that local network isolated from the internet? No connection, or no port forwarding?

Either way I wouldn't recommend it.

So you choose the North Korean os?

It’s better to criticize the actual content rather than just the country of origin :)
