A lot. I had a Packard Bell 486 that came with 3.1 and a free upgrade. Except I would constantly get “Explorer.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down” error.

One day I decided to compress the hard drive and for some reason, that fixed it. It never happened again.

You laugh but I’m glad Ive got a picture of my driver’s license favorited so I can find my license number easily without having to get up and find my wallet when some random form wants it.

Never mind that I still remember my Windows 95 license key but can’t remember my own driver’s license number.

I’ve been using Linux for like 18 years and I still hop. I got a better idea of what I like to use for different situations though…but there are so many great builds/derivatives now. I’m pretty well settled into Bazzite and Nobara, or regular Fedora and Fedora Blue, depending on specific needs now though.

I took my kids to a tree lighting on Saturday. Small townie event near my MILs, like 30 miles from us. Affluent town. Main St. The whole thing felt like the climactic scene of a Hallmark movie. Fr.

My oldest took it upon himself to start dancing in a clearing yelling out “6 7”.

To this, a bunch of other kids joined in and started dancing and doing the meme as well.

Idk where I’m going with this story. Anyway, Is it easier to make friends as a kid, or is it just because they are less inhibited?

We talking about Stranger Things or IASIP? Because it could be either.

Wtf this is like season 4 Vecna shit.

Please no S5 spoilers I haven’t finished the first batch yet.

That’s a Fibonacci syringe.

I wanted a Sidekick so bad but I knew I’d break it for sure.

I know, I know. I’m just busting your Bibles.

Sacrilege. Op, if you want Bibles in the pour, you can certainly do that. I’d recommend Leviticus.

Its common, it’s called the refractory period. Younger men can sometimes go a couple minutes after a “reboot” but as you get older it takes longer and longer.

ETA: maybe I should read past the topic…

I’m doing my part.

I set up bazzite in a VM and passed my GPU thru it.

Now I’ve got a nuc clone in my office with bazzite on it as well and it’s just a moonlight client. But it’s silent. Or damn close. The GPU is two floors away, I hear nothing!

That was two separate downloads, too…Nvidia-gnone and gnome-standard.

I was on Nobara a couple months ago and liked it…but a colleague piqued my interest on immutable distros and now here I am.

Some Earth benders Geologists can manipulate metal tho.

Looks like a jackdaw to me.

I haven’t seen an FDD header on a motherboard since my P6T (with an i7-920). And even then, it wasn’t worthwhile to use it.

Do you have a usb-fdd adapter? Or just a USB internal floppy drive?

I’ma do the things that I want to do.

runs on proton gradient

So I can launch it from Lutris?

“Power Plant” won’t be a fitting term until we can generate electricity (at a viable scale) from chloroplasts.

And wouldn’t that just be solar with extra steps?

Electromagnetic induction.

Basically electric motor in reverse…instead of electricity powering the motor, the motor powers electricity.

But the trick is in “what spins the motor”. In the case if ICE generators, it’s usually a pulley off the crankshaft.

Or it could be moving water.

If your great grandfather is 84, and you’re old enough to be posting on reddit…it seems you have a family history of youthful virility.

You’re going to end up with a new first cousin twice-removed, if great-gramps doesn’t remove first.
