NASA’s idea was an inflatable dipole, i linked the article about it up higher
as masterspace noted NASA has actually given it some thought.
“This new research is coming about due to the application of full plasma physics codes and laboratory experiments. In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind.”

It also doesn’t completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.

Slackware took like 40 3.5" double sided double density disks, and woe betide the poor soul who didn’t label them because the stack was a foot high and you damn well would get them mixed up.
When doing it from home I would frequently run into issues that required me to completely reinstall dos and Telemate to go back to usenet and get help, print the help and then take another stab.
Dos and Linux had different opinions about SCSI chain termination so this usually involved full cover off to move jumpers on the hard drives and sometimes irq jumpers on the motherboard to get the modem AND sound card working right.
Then the fact that to get online once you had slackware installed required you to write your own SLIP/PPP dialup scripts because every ISP was doing their own thing.
Honestly it was a fucking wonderful time. Many happy memories.
Marineverse has a VR sailing game that is so good NauticEd recommends it when you’re learning to sail and I found it to be a really great simulation when i played it.
Also Greg at marineverse is really cool i had to chat with him to get an old copy of the game unlocked for my Quest 1 and he was super nice.
that’s what “some thought” means my guy
