Gentoo was my second linux Distro ever some time in 2003 or 2004.

Installed it by printing out the full install doc, which was like 30 or 40 pages, and starting up a stage one install. I got through the entire install by following the instructions because the documentation was that good.

I remember having a problem and hopping on an irc chat to ask for help and people there being baffled about the basic level questions I was asking while having a working Gentoo install.

I have $25 wired IEMS that sound better than my most expensive Bluetooth tws sets. I’ve taken to just listing to podcasts and YouTube videos with my Bluetooth sets at work.

I used to be a big fan of Samsung, but over the past couple years it has become a do not buy brand for me. They keep doing anticompetitive stuff with their phones so my next phone won’t be one.

Start of 2024 my Samsung TV that wasn’t that old up and died. And my less than a year old Samsung monitor is flickering.

My watch 6 classic is my favorite smart watch I’ve ever had, but in order to get it working well on a non Samsung phone you need to go through a bunch of bullshit hassle.

If you don’t do a lot of highway driving a Subaru Sambar van is awesome and they’re dirt cheap to import. Next year the 1999 models will be available and they’re very improved for safety features compared to the 1998 ones.

When the Kei Vans were first made they made being able to fold the seats down flat into a bed a big priority because of how high rent was in the 80s and 90s in Japan.

Edit: I should mention that the improved safety features is that a front crumple zone exists at all, it’s still not safe, but it is a lot better than the older ones.

Yeah, they’ve got a ton of great documentaries there, plus some other series that are pretty great.

If I had to give up YouTube I’d move to Nebula. It’s been growing and is steadily getting better.

I don’t use the system anymore but at the time the parts I had weren’t supported.

I got a bunch of rgb in order to set it all to purple on my desktop. But then I started using Linux full time on it so I lost the windows rgb software, and was too lazy to fix it. So it went from looking amazing to this ugly clashing thing for the last 3 years I used the system as each part eventually reverted to its demo mode.

I know of an Adonis. Skinny gay kid that was really into gymnastics and choir. He went by his middle name, don’t remember what it was.

My first was Suse Enterpise Linux. Bought from Best Buy in the late 90s.

It’s not Ubuntu but the fuel control systems and the pumps at Speedway run linux. They also boot really fast.

Michigan lotto terminals are also all linux.

“Remember us… Remember that we once lived…”

And

“So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us. No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk.”

From Final Fantasy XIV. There are so many more, but those two stick out the most in my mind.

And I suppose “for those that we have lost, and those we can yet save.” For my favorite recurring line.

I ran Gentoo in high school. I think I spent more time tinkering on it than I ever did getting anything done, but damn was it fast. I ripped support out for everything except for my hardware.

Just got a new laptop and put an arch flavor on it, keep thinking of going back to Tumbleweed. I’ve kept on Arch derivatives cause of the AUR, but I haven’t actually touched the AUR in a while, and a couple of the things I used the AUR for are now being published as flatpaks by the creators because of the Steam Deck.

If you read the article, it’s because the tiny particles of carbon from the wood are less damaging for the environment then filling the upper atmosphere with aluminum particles when they burn up upon reentry.

I’m drinking cheap matcha, I wish I was drinking nice matcha.

I currently have a prime sub, but anything I watch on prime I just pirate instead. I’m on linux so torrenting gets me better video quality.

I forgot the exact speech I used, but once I had the baddie that the party killed give a dying speech about how “Now they’ll win, there’s nothing to stop them now.”

So they realized of course that there was some big evil thing that he was trying to stop. But… they were really bad at investigating, and after a couple bad rolls they were convinced he was some kind of heroic figure.

The guy was just racist. There had been a war in the neighboring country and there were a bunch of deep gnomes coming into the country as refugees and he hated them, and wanted to go on a big ol ethic cleansing. This was not a secret plot.

Had a few interesting interactions with NPCs after that with the party talking about how amazing the evil guy was when talking to some of the refugees. One of the players figured it out at that point but thought it was funnier to keep going, and had his character dedicate his life to fighting in his memory.
