I’d get myself banned this way. I forget the -p flag at least once per week.

Install slackware instead! But if you must, yay.

Batocera linux and retro games!

I use slackware btw. Doing work for the computer is half the fun.

But I did learn something here, so thanks for that.

I was on xfce for a long time due to having low power hardware. I got a decent computer around the time kde plasma came out. I tried it and have stayed on it.

I hate gnome with every fiber of my being.

My daily driver for ~25 years is still on sysvinit. I have plenty of experience with systemd based distros. I run proxmox on my home server. I don’t hate systemd, but it’s a lot less intuitive for me.

Example: I want to start the tailscale daemon and service at boot. Easy, add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local . Oh wait, I want my laptop to check for an internet connection before trying to bring up tailscale. Otherwise the boot process halts for 20 seconds until it gives up. Easy, add a bash script in rc.local to test for an internet connection before trying to bring tailscale up.

I know the answer is systemctl something, but I have to look it up EVERY DAMN TIME. and this is just one of many things that have been giving me heartburn for years.

Let’s not go crazy.

He’s Canadian? Didn’t he run for president in 2016? I know I could ddg this…

Our wives must know each other. Me recently: it’s not useless junk! It’s a CD tower NAS with 10 base t token ring capability! The guy who ran a bbs in my local calling area had one that served up Warez in 1997! I was a very early adopter of mp3. I used the original program released by the fraunhoeffer Institute to rip my friend’s metallica bootlegs and upload them for extra leech credits. It would take half a day to encode 128kbps mp3 files on my non-mmx cyrix 6x86, and I could only store 1 CD worth of mp3s at a time on my 800mb hard drive. Besides, I got a really good deal on it!

You delicious bastard! Thanks for the rook tip.

I get it. Date your distro, marry your browser.

I miss the level of customization you could do in Vivaldi, down to minute details. But I don’t miss it enough to put up with ads and tracking nonsense.

I started on Firefox back when it was a beta called Phoenix. I eventually moved to chromium based browsers like the rest of the world, but now I’m back. I’ve come full circle!

My wife didn’t even notice when I turned on the pi-hole. She also told me she thinks there’s a virus on her phone.

I made the switch from Vivaldi back to Firefox recently. I loved Vivaldi, but I’m happy with Firefox too.

I think it’s a delusion of grandeur.

Gas like natural gas? Or gas like gasoline? I’m sure it’s the former, but I take nothing for granted anymore.

Coo coo ka cha!

Everybody knows that Arkansas grows the finest coffee beans in the world.

Thoughts and prayers!

Has any of you ever SEEN a chicken?
