    You don’t need a VPN when you use tor. In fact, it’s probably less secure since it’s going through a private server that might have a government black box hooked up. Also, no FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use tor???

    get an old dell latitude or thinkpad. They’re good performing laptops for the price you pay (somewhere around 50-100 usd) and the hardware’s old enough that any built in peripherals such as a microphone, webcam, or trackpad should just work. As for a distro, it depends. If you don’t want to learn anything or a bare minimum amount about your computer to use it, use linux mint*. If you want the freedom to turn your desktop into anything you want and don’t mind learning a thing or two, use arch.

    *xfce will perform the best, but any version will work just fine.

    Start by getting rid of the enemies in the first room. If there are no doors, start searching the walls, you can repeatedly search the walls by typing out 20s. most corpses are safe to eat within 15 turns or so, afterwards they’ll give you food poisoning. A good rule of thumb is whatever your pet eats is safe to eat, but never eat kobold corpses, they give you food poisoning. Let your pet walk over armor to determine whether or not it’s cursed, if it says your pet reluctantly steps over a piece of armor or a weapon, then it’s cursed, use #call to mark it as such if desired. This should get you past at least the first floor of the dungeon. Good luck!
