I liked the soft gradient XP icons, though maybe that’s just the nostalgia talking

It really isn’t. I do agree that for most purposes a static network with some central public nodes is the answer, but I want something more dynamic

Yeah but how do you use it? There’s no searchable index as far as I’ve seen

What is i2p good for? I install it evert now and then, give it a whirl, and then uninstall it

I was also wondering about this. Flatpaks apparently come with more libraries to interact with other Flatpaks, whereas AppImages tend be purely app-specific and their libraries are compressed for their usage only.

Its very easy to use and my goto image editor, but I say that from a position of familiarity of having learned where everything is and what all the keybindings are over many years.

In contrast, Krita seems like a far better image editor, but because the interface is bewildering to me, I’ve shied away from it.

69 Quite Bitter Beings have been waiting for this for some time

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

booooo

Code dump for the curious?

Yeah but cars have become increasingly more complex over the last 20 years. You basically need an EEPROM arduino kit these days just to get the fucking diagnostics out of the car, because someone decided that analog circuits were just too much bulk

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

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME

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.

Yeah, so this is the best one I’ve seen so far.

I’ve just installed it, but I’m stumped on the documentation on how to find the name of a high-load process from 10 mins ago.

Install and start the monitoring

sudo pacman -S sysstat
sudo systemctl {enable,start} sysstat

Find what processes were running 10 minutes ago

(first wait 10 minutes)

sar -P ALL -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +%d -d '10 minutes ago')

nothing happens.

there’s a special level of hell reserved for people like us

Need not necessarily be grokkable as long as its application and scope is clear

Well that’s a fair point.
