I remember installing a version 0.9x from a set of infomagic cdroms in the mid 90s. Ended up going back to running Slackware for a long time to come though. Hard to understand I’ve been playing with and earning a living with Linux for just about 30 years now. Debian has played a big part in that.

While that would be great, in reality because of YouTube’s recommendations, the ones most likely to watch this crap are the ones already drinking the kool-aid and thus upvoting.

These instances were the first that made me search for a block instance option in Memmy. Still I’m not entirely happy seeing all this defederation happening.

I can’t be the only one who like the picture, but have absolutely no idea what the headline means.

Older ones for sure. Won’t even have a drain plug.

A lot of bad can be said about Harleys but I love that my 48 just has a little rubber hose with a plug in it to drain the oil.

That’s great, but there is still a shit ton of it in there. Check this channel where an amazing team rescues seals entangled in all our waste for a look into what we’re doing to the oceans: https://youtube.com/@OceanConservationNamibia

I compiled my first Linux kernel back in the mid 90s, mostly on 386 and Dec Alpha hardware, interesting enough both were not that much slower than what you mentioned, I think the alpha (a measly 21066) took about 40 minutes. If you had asked me back then, I’d probably have imagined a minute or two, 30 years later. Guess it says something about how much larger the Linux kernel has become.

Cowboy.

I want to sit at a campfire, eat my bowl of chili, then curl up in my blanket under the stars and in the morning boil myself a nice pot of coffee.

You can keep the cow stuff though.

I was visiting some family in Transylvania, Romania and in the afternoon we decided to go for a small hike, in the mountainous woods. It was my wife and I, her local cousin and a dog. We head off into the woods on a path leading up a mountain.

At some point we passed a smallish stream and when we later returned to go back it had flooded and we couldn’t cross so had to take a detour. No phones/gps but the cousin claimed both he and the dog knew the way, so we followed them. Not long after we were in the middle of the forest in pitch black darkness as the sun went down fast, no longer following a path, but climbing up steep slopes on our hands and knees. At one point my wife put her hand down and touched something she claims was a mouse, she nearly started crying at that point. I was more worried about bears, but hoped the dog could scare them away if we met one.

Took us a few hours, but eventually we found a road and was able to follow it back. Though with Romanian traffic, I’m not sure if being lost in the woods wasn’t safer than walking a busy road at night with no lights.

IKEA actually has some but I sort of doubt how much they actually block:

I did the same before also deleting the comments and posts and some of the subreddits perm banned my user. I deleted the user a few days later anyway so no loss.
