I had a 7800 with custom bios and ram cart and would play a kaboom hack that started at max difficulty and ramped from there

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

…or as I’ve come to call it grep+linux

The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.

Actually her fight is over, that’s the entire point

everyone talking about the iPad and I’m just sad the pencil is still powered.

Give me a passive stylus like a wacom and I’ll buy any tablet.

everything is a file, except when it’s not.

Depends where it is.

3rd party reviews? Those should be removed. Company website? Knowing they use DHL is very useful to set expectations low.

entirely reasonable for a customer to be upset with poor customer service

how do you know if someone is a vegan…

it’s literally a meme template for insufferable people to say “I’m x btw” and those same people don’t actually say it, it’s a fucking jab at them.

maybe do a google search before attacking people on the internet … or don’t, I’m not your manager.

carnivore btw

I use Arch btw was always a meme , literally no one ever said it unironically.

I use Arch btw

da fuck?

oh no

anyway

my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on

sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things

Vimeo is explicitly not competing with youtube

I use a cron job but have

alias updog='sudo apt update | lolcat && sudo apt upgrade -y | lolcat'
for when I feel like making sure

let me just quickly check discord … and manually download and run this update before we can automatically update again

ITT: People who have never heard of Crontab

my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.

figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.

I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.

and they’re not wrong.

I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.
