I’ve decided to just ignore battery hype and tune back in when it’s time to swap out my house battery in 5-10 years. Hopefully some of the vaporware will have actually materialized in the market by that time.

I’m happy for a new streetcar line that is almost done in my area. My happiness is pretty pathetic and sad.
I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/
There’s this: https://github.com/lextrack/Simple-Screen-Recorder
Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.
I started with PowerPPC back in the '90s (it did not even ship with a working X system). Then went to Debian a few years later, and it was great. I played around with Gentoo for a little while when it first came out, then ended up back on Debian after a couple months. Then I played around with Arch for a little when it showed up, then went back to Debian. After that I just said fuck it, and have stuck with Debian. I run testing/unstable unless it’s some side server I have, in that case I just run stable. I hear good things about OpenSUSE and Fedora, but at this point I’m old and don’t feel like trying something when I have no issues. Tiling WM and Vim. That’s about all I seem to need.
I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.
You can look up the man page for date
. I’m not sure if that’ll do, but it’s pretty easy. Something like date --set="1 MAY 18:00:00"
as root.
BeOS on my old PowerPC blew my mind in the late 90s.
I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.
Did you remove the #
at the start of the font_size
setting?
I’m sure you’ve seen it many times, but I love Bill Hick’s take on marketing.
Become comfortable with the command line. Learn the when and whys of using sudo
. If you aren’t willing to do that, you may not want to stick with Linux. It can have a little bit of a learning curve in the beginning (nothing like what it used to be), but you should get more comfortable in a short time.
Well that makes more sense. I saw that quote and just noped out. I’ll see if anything is questioned in my area.
The info you enter is directly added to OpenStreetMap in your name
I try to minimize “my name” being out there.
The only one I ever used was https://ltsp.org/ , but it’s been years, so I have no idea how it’s doing now. It was great for thin clients.
It’s been some time since I used it on an old laptop, but Puppy Linux was very responsive on shit hardware.
I’d just keep a couple different copies and then copy them every 5-10 years, or as new technology comes along. Maybe something like this will be available for consumers in the near future.
I wish they wouldn’t advertise days of battery life, when their “day” is 1/2 an hour. Just say how many hours the battery will run. The math for how long it’ll run for my use is not rocket science. It’s good to see color E Ink in a reasonable price range. I think I’ll wait for the size to increase while staying affordable.
My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.
