I wouldn't say I hate Windows. I've had Windows 2.0 through NT 4.0 installed, but it was more of an application that I rarely started because it usually just interfered with my MS-DOS programs. DESQview was a much preferable option, as it had true multitasking (yes, so did NT 4.0 - but it broke a lot of things).

I dual booted DOS and Linux for a couple of years, but DOS box was good enough in 1997 that I rarely had to boot DOS, so I've been Linux only for a couple of decades.

Sounds like I should give Windows another try.

Slackware and Red Hat were the two distros in use in the mid 90s.

My local city used proper UNIX, and my university had IRIXworkstations SPARCstations and SunOS servers. We used Linux at my ISP to handle modem pools and web/mail/news servers. In the early 2000s we had Linux labs, and Linux clusters to work on.

Linux on the desktop was a bit painful. There were no modules. Kernels had to fit into main memory. So you'd roll your own kernel with just the drivers you needed. XFree86 was tricky to configure with timings for your CRT monitors. If done wrong, you could break your monitor.

I used FVWM2 and Enlightenment for many years. I miss Enlightenment.

This cleared out a flea infestation in our dog. We use it preventatively because ticks, as well.

Fleas tend to linger because their eggs shed all over the place. As I recall, frontline had some double action going on by both killing fleas and causing their eggs to hatch into nymphs that never evolve into breeding maturity.

Fleas don't really like biting humans, so any occurrence is a one+off.

zram is only suitable if you have no swap. I'd you have swap, zswap does a better job. It also compresses pages in memory, but swaps the least recently used pages to disk when pressured.

This guy kiddie porns.

Sounds s lot more fair than the experience I had at home!

Three kids crammed in front of one computer. One on keyboard, one on mouse and one on joystick. The one on joystick was at the worst disadvantage. A small nudge was a good way to sabotage rebuilding your fortress.

I enjoyed Rampart tremendously back in the day. It had a lot of ports, but I'm surprised it hasn't had any remakes or clones in the last 30 years.

Jävla skit

Start with getting some experience before considering buying a boat. Not only can you lose your investment, but your life. Job a club, take lessons, make friends at the local yacht club, volunteer as crew. Requirements for being a skipper vary quite a bit between countries. Some let anyone go up to a certain size, others require certifications even for small dinghies.

The bigger the boat, the harder it is too both manoeuvre and maintain.

Do you want something small that you can roll into the water on a ramp when you use it?

Do you want something big enough that requires a crane to get in the water? Prepare to spend a week cleaning, sanding, polishing, waxing and applying new anti-foul yearly.

He was the best of us.

What a misleading title.

She was obviously wearing gloves throughout the whole video.

I feel like googling his name would have sorted it all out.

Something similar happened to this Finnish chainsaw juggler. He had just come back from performing at Kim Jong-Un's birthday and had a stubborn headache that wouldn't go away. Straight to the mental ward.

Article in Finnish, I'm sure Google translate does a decent job.

I started with Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 on the VIC-20, if that counts as an operating system. Otherwise GeOS on the Commodore 64.

First Linux distro was slackware 3.0.

And they have a -50% flash sale.

Imagine that timing.

I've been trying to convince my boomer wife to try affinity. She works mostly with print, and it seems like a good fit to me.

I'd only use zram if I had no swap device/file.

In my experience zswap performs better, and doesn't get in the way of hibernation. In fact, most distros enable it by default today, and it doesn't always work so great with zram.

I was just wondering how they even managed to get publicly listed with that track record. Apparently a reverse merger with a company previously set up for just that purpose is just a slap on the wrist.

Additionally, chat monitoring would not apply to accounts used for national security, investigations, or military purposes.

Why do they want to protect the pedophiles working for nations and militaries?

I guess it all depends on perspective.

I love that it's free compared to those $10-20k licenses for similar systems.

I love that there are good package managers.

I love that it's open source.

I hate that it's GPLv2.

I hate how bloated the kernel is. I'd like it to fit into main memory.

I hate how it's not POSIX-certified.
