I like that. Creepiest thing about VLC is that it does that even after you’ve killed it

True

then it wont be linux, but a shittily maintained private copy that will fall out of disuse quickly unless they merge all upstream changes without too much oversight (in which case, why bother?) to keep feature parity

True

xfce4. Stable as hell. X11. Can move windows around using just some keypresses.

booooo

This joke hasn’t aged well. I took it as is and just assumed the Dad put together a micro PC with a PS2 emulator on it, and then I stared at the article for 5 minutes looking for the punchline.

At first I thought you meant it’d be a bad fork, but then I realise you meant it’d be a bad fork.

As long as it’s open source and vetted by the public, I don’t see how it could go bad tbh

Radicale+DavX5 is for calendars and contacts, no? How does this work for passwords

How does this play with mobile?

Code dump for the curious?

no, but they pretend otherwise, so them publicly salivating for it is a new level of embarrassing.

I keep mine only attached to ad-hoc networks with no outside signal, but there’s literally no saying whether it has its own modem

Given the measurable power output, I’d think not, but who’s to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.

I love this chip :'-(
say it ain’t so

I would genuinely love to see your setup/RC scripts if that’s something you can share without doxxing yourself

I was talking with a techhead from the 80s about what he did when his tape drives failed and the folly that is keeping data alive on a system that doesn’t need to be. His foolproof backup storage is as follows.

1. At Christmas buy a new hard drive. If Moore’s law allows, it should be double what you currently have
2. Put your current backup hardrive into a SATA drive slot. Copy over backup into new hard drive.
3. Write with a sharpie the date at which this was done on the harddrive. The new hard drive is your current backup.
4. Place the now old backup into your drawer and forget about it.
5. On New Years Day, load each of the drives into a SATA drive slot and fix any filesystem issues.
6. Put them back into the drawer. Go to step 1.

That’d just prolong a mild spike instead

It also borked the eff out of my system too, and I’m still seeing traces of its lefotver desktop files after uninstallation

You can pretty much chroot into a full debian installation, and even make kernel calls higher than that natively supported by your phone through proot. It’s a weird time to be alive.
