Can relate, when I start infodumping or talking in depth about stuff I enjoy I can see their eyes glaze over and they want to leave.

nice, was thinking about this for a while but I hated writing the MD to whatever GUI framework i used, and a lot of the other stuff is either really outdated looking, or just unmaintained

That’s a lot more cookie than I intended but I would probably try to do it

Chowing down on the cheapest and shittiest cookies i can find. Don’t know how I got the habit but I’ve definitely eaten 2 dozen packs in a sitting before when I was really stressed

Same but with a Vega APU, also love it when it merges the console screen with whatever was on there bufore suspend and it’s just a text graphics rainbow mess

Kinda weird, is the first gen Vega Apu different enough to not have these problems? Cause I’ve been pushing that thing hard enough it’s starting to have actual hardware faults, very rarely had software related crashes that couldn’t be resolved with a temporary kernal rollback

They’re all aight, but avoid asus like the plague, they don’t last very long and have tons of incompatibilities with linux. I’ve only had mine for 3 years and it already needs a new mobo as the pci lanes for wifi and bluetooth suddenly died

Compaq portable plus luggable PC

Need to redo the foam and foil keys but otherwise it works great, let out the magic smoke the first time i powered it up so i did a re-cap and now it starts fine.

And it even has a working hard drive!

I also have an IBM Lexmark model M keyboard I use as my daily driver

I did, this buddy is too far gone, 3rd gear practically doesn’t exist

Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)

Being kicked out of my family > Barely avoiding homelessness for 3 years now > helping a friend out when their family passed > managing to stay employed > getting my gf away from her abusive parents through a skilled mission of infiltration and gaslighting towards the abusers (used their own tricks against them). Now I’m just trying to scrape out of homelessness again as the housing market where I live is just godawful terrible. I’m 21 goddammit, I didn’t expect to be thrown into new game + right off the bat. I still wanna go to college so I’m at least proud I kept my ambitions.

Nice, getting pretty iffed with the way neafotch refuses to align the category titles without special bash scripting

2 reinstalls now* I had to upgrade my NVME drive and the old one shit the bed while I was moving data, so everything on this system is fresh now… At least I keep the important stuff backed up in git haha

1999 Subaru Forestur

Pros - it runs

Cons - barely

7 years strong here with only 1 reinstall to switch to 64 bit

The real terminal fun comes from accidentally entering grub’s rescue mode when you fuck the config up, and then having to frantically remember how to boot linux manually
