Street fight scenes that last for 5 minutes.

You can’t just leave a tvtropes link without a warning! Some never make it back.

It feels weird to me to sometimes think I post a lot, only to realize that I really don’t.

I am not entirely sure what you are saying here (English as a second language?), but here is a good overview:

Remember that most of the Arch Linux wiki also applies.

Mostly people that can’t or won’t setup anything more complicated than a PS1

Yes, there is. You can even follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.

The hilarity here is that iirc this first showed up on !linuxsucks@lemmy.world , and gained a 3rd of the popularity. At least we see and understand what it is like if you go the Gentoo route.

The old skullet.

Sure, but why? PeerTube already exists and it isn’t like there are length limits.

I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

I ordered a keyboard replacement. This thing is a serious pain. The power switch is directly part of the keyboard. Under that button is nothing but silver paint for the contacts, which had firmed a crack over time.

The worst part? Above the keyboard is a thin piece of sheet metal. It is “riveted” on by melting a fee dozen plastic standoff that affixed the metal piece by melting the tips of them. I spent an hour carefully popping them off with a screwdriver. The replacement keyboard fits (good news!), but I have to carefully use a soldering iron to melt the tops of these pieces back into “rivets.”

On the plus side, I have upgraded the RAM and added a hard drive. If it POSTs at the end of this, I will have 16gb of RAM and a 4 to add, which will let me ditch the external drive.

That’s nothing. Cracker Barrel has been full of Christmas junk since August.

Edit: I a word

So why use this over something like meshstatic?

It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

Not software. Actual hardware hardware button.

I wish laptops were a practical thing when I was in school. I had a PDA and it was useless.

I learned to not have critical files anywhere but external storage. Completely wipe the OS, and the stuff I absolutely need is unharmed. Then again, there isn’t much at all that I have to keep.

This is a fantastic idea. Keep a config diary. I can imagine a teenager doing this and eventually getting in trouble with the law. Parents open the diary only to discover scribbled bash scripts in confusion.

For real, though, I’m going to journal it all and upload to NextCloud.
