Here comes the Fourloko reboot saga.

Klaus… Klaus? Klaus!!

I have experienced an issue sort of like that in the past, where my computer occasionally won’t do anything other than spin the fans, unless there’s a working connection to a monitor…

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Because we like big chicken breasts and we cannot lie.

(Male chickens of egg-laying breeds don’t have as much meat, and also the males left together often compete and can try to kill each other. You’d want around a dozen hens per rooster, compared to roughly 1:1 that would come out naturally with eggs, and have enough space for each to call their own).

A 700km (39000 inches) long Penissee needs a whole lot of KY jelly.

It’s the GUI software manager, I think the LM developers should get a pass at curating selections for users who wouldn’t know any better.

I personally think they can make it a total non-issue if they put in “some unverified results hidden, see settings to change”.

Surprised how many others are gravitated toward iceWM as I am… though I daily drive MATE

Seems perfect for a functional desktop with minimal idle CPU usage. It had come to my mind again as a perfect pair for the open source e-ink display.

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!

Terminal games are where it’s at, lol. In high school I’ve made connect4, battleship and a couple card games in C.

Once I took a Mexican Train domino game code I made in C, ported it to Java, then added graphics that showed everything nicely, but clicking on anything just had it pass a number you would have typed to do the action in the terminal UI version.

If there’s an installer bug, probably not much you can do at the current moment, but the advice is for anyone trying to get any install working in general:

It would be good to have basic information about your system like model of graphics card, CPU, amount of RAM and motherboard. How long have you had the PC with it working?

Software things to check:

• what do dmesg and /var/log say? (ETA: at the part you are at in the distro idk if you can access the graphical terminal, the virtual tty. You can try the debug mode root shell if they have that with the live disk) Anything that stands out as major error categories?
• How did you set up the USB drive? Dd? Ventoy? Rufus? I’ve helped someone install Ubuntu 22.04 recently, for some reason they had a lot of trouble getting it with multiple USBs but this old USB I had worked perfectly first try.

Hardware things to troubleshoot:

• (For new builds) did you plug in the correct PSU cables, all the VGA/PCIe 6+2 pins for graphics and 8pin CPUs? If you don’t have all of them in you may run into more instability.
• Does htop or system monitor or BIOS show all of the RAM installed? If some are missing you may need to clean and reseat it, or replace it if deemed defective.
• NVMe or SATA III disk? Are both cables plugged in properly for SATA?
• Activate the smoke bomb somewhere well-ventilated (by that I mean dust out your PC)

Those types of things would be a good starting point.

I would rather have a set of these on my trunk end:

Agreed. Work on capitalist principles and you end up becoming beholden to capitalist principles.

If it could be made once, could it be done again? Main thing is adoption I think, not unlike Lemmy.

Firebox to run my Firefox. Other servers I’ve dedicated to hosting that I don’t interact regularly with I have been less creative with, usually my username and something to do with the server.

I lol’d at Evergreen. Excellent choice.
