Not bashing on Gentoo or anything, but it’s when I realized why Arch was “simple.”

That’s funny. I switched from Slackware to Gentoo in 2003 because it was simpler.

It doesn’t look deleted to me.

How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I’m thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip

I’ve enjoyed using proton for my own domain. Adding another 2-3 domains and a second user raises the cost to the point that I just can’t justify. ~$200 up front for two years.

In a generic community like c/AskLemmy it’s pretty far down the list of options.

I haven’t done that in a long time.

Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

That brings a whole new meaning to impostor syndrome.

I’ve got one of them miyoo minis running OnionOS on the crapper.

It goes into deep sleep and resumes my gameplay in seconds. With my toilet time the battery lasts months. I’ve finished four games in the last year split into 700 poop sessions.

Thanks for the tip!

This was a long-standing showstopper for me & Wayland. I got rid of my work computer instead, but if I get another one I’ll be sure to test this out.

Same. I bought some 70 bitcoins for 50€ when I first heard of it. Kept mining on a radeon 9770 or something at about 1BTC or 5€ per week. Electricity was included in my rent then, but I stopped because fan noise.

I lost a bunch on mtgox. Cashed out for a down payment on a house way too early (2016). I’d be rich if I had hodled.

and not lose files

Which is exactly why you’d want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.

I switched in 1997.

The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.

Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn’t run on NT. It’d take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.

I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It’d do a full backup of everyone’s home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.

We’d keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I’d do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.

I guess at most we’d need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today’s LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.

Ramen.

Back when we met she looked me up on Facebook, where I had listed my faith. She thought it would be a deal-breaker for a minute or two until she read up on pastafarianism.

She has come to accept my faith and has even read the good book cover to cover.

My wife is atheist, but I’m pastafari.

Does it have to be arcade?

I love “papers, please”.

I treat religion like my penis.

It’s ok not to have one.

It’s ok to have one.

It’s ok to be proud of it.

But don’t display it in public, and don’t shove it down people’s throats.

And NEVER whip it out in congress.

Slackware and Red Hat were the two distros in use in the mid 90s.

My local city used proper UNIX, and my university had IRIXworkstations SPARCstations and SunOS servers. We used Linux at my ISP to handle modem pools and web/mail/news servers. In the early 2000s we had Linux labs, and Linux clusters to work on.

Linux on the desktop was a bit painful. There were no modules. Kernels had to fit into main memory. So you’d roll your own kernel with just the drivers you needed. XFree86 was tricky to configure with timings for your CRT monitors. If done wrong, you could break your monitor.

I used FVWM2 and Enlightenment for many years. I miss Enlightenment.
