You can use version numbers, but it’s on you to change them when new point releases drop.

I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.
It’s good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.
I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever.
If yours counts, mine does too.
This is what the Lapdock looks like:
I’ve got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.
My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.
I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.
I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.
I used to think so too, but I’ve got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking ‘crashes’ (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.
I’ve never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.
My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.
She did? Which wife?
The last time my community found a PID.0 in our midst, he was beaten downtown in broad daylight by over a dozen assailants, no witnesses.
If the Russians had not been rude to Musk, and hurt his little ego, SpaceX wouldn’t exist.
I guess we blame the Russians for this too then.
Sounds like they’ve stayed much the same.
There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.
In a way I’m glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can’t remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.
It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.
Ahhh Slackware.
Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?
I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.
I think people are voting on the practicality of this suggestion, but I think it’s a hilarious image. I had a super soaker 30 when I was in early double-digits and it was so much fun to load stuff other than water in it.
Forensic data recovery. How many 500GB drives ship to PCs that never use more than 20% of that?
As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.
I’ve run Minecraft: Bedrock on Linux/amd64 using a wrapper that repackaged the android distro. I was able to log in to my MS account and play on servers requiring the online authentication crap.
His SSD might be slightly damaged because of you.
Wow, you are full of poop.
Absolutely. This video does a great job of debunking the myth. There’s a follow-up explaining why higher sampling has a place in audio mastering.
How obvious is it that it’s a bot?
