@gorplop you joke but i dug one of my older computers out of storage a few days ago and it booted to exactly that

im about to update 1956 arch packages at the same time. is my computer going to survive or will i be left with a totally broken system. vote now

metal moses parted the sea of electrons and allowed the valence israelites to pass

@chfour excellent news

@gorplop then you are in the same hell i am

@gorplop a friend needs windows unfortunately

i am currently in the kind of hell where you have to install windows on a machine that windows does not come with drivers for

does anyone know a program i can use to pipe stdout and stderr to two different files *and* one merged file at the same time. i dont really want to write it

@gorplop 204 do you think the response body would fit in here\r

i love how there are just zero ways to display the impulse tracker spectrogram view. it only works with a software mixed audio driver, the picture gets cut off on the left side and partially wraps to the right on my crt regardless of the video card i use, and dosbox just stops rendering video if you open it there
