@theorytoe@iska@EricZhang456@splitshockvirus Petalooma is the true chad of Fediverse software, Calckey: 718497 jobs delayed Perombla: queue size 10?! Fuck it, let's drop this shit!! :marseychadyes:
@matrix@VD15@sun_eater I still can't believe that people who didn't play QTest before Quake came out are roaming the Interwebs and now this! :marseyshook:
@PurpCat@xianc78 HP had this "designed for linux" model, made in cooperation with System76: https://hpdevone.com/ It looks decent IMO. According to the website it's sold out, but maybe you can still find it at a discount somewhere.
@newt@matrix@lanodan Not sure about networked storage, but once I've used a file on a slow external USB 2.0 hard drive as a swap partition to build gcc on an old ARM machine with only half a gigabyte of RAM. It took it several days to do it, but… What can I do — life's unfair, I've been too lazy to mess with cross-compilation :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat:
@EricZhang456@dcc I suppose I'm weird even by Fedi's weird standards as I actually use hardware from early 2000s, in fact, the least old computer I use has turned 10 this year :marseylaughwith: But despite that I bear zero nostalgia for old software/protocols and don't have a warm fuzzy feeling using them, especially now that we have modern things that do the same, do it well and are actively developed. Take it of not, but Matrix is relatively young, but it can already do things that XMPP can't do by design without serious underlying architectural changes, and of course what it doesn't do, it will, and all the issues will get fixed, unlike those in XMPP. I see zero incentive to use XMPP today other than "Baa-a-aw, they aren't using mah XMPP!" Clients are more mature? But they are still all shit! And I consider Fedi and Gemini both modern miracles as those have been developed from the ground up by hobbyists without any corporate involvement at all. And they both already have user bases that goes beyond some small circle so all of it won't fall apart even if one of the "founding fathers" goes nuts and disappears like Bobby Fischer :marseydisintegrate:
@dcc@EricZhang456 What kind of reply do you expect? You know very well that I'm okay with adapting old and tried stuff to new use cases instead of reinventing the wheel, and I have of course used XMPP, IRC and all other things that you can only hear about on Fedi nowadays, in their time. But I'm not joining your circlejerk as these obviously don't solve any of the problems we have today — it's just old tech that receives very little attention and isn't suitable to be used in any sane way. However if you leave the ideological shit out if it and elaborate on what makes them attractive to you in particular, that would be interesting.
@EricZhang456 I wonder why people love using genuine retro tech like XMPP, Gopher or web (that looks like web of that era, but doesn't work exactly like it), but don't use modern tech that does the same, but taking all the shortcomings into consideration like Gemini or, dare I say it, Matrix? :marseyquestion:
@mint Shawrma is a luxury product, stop showing off! :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat: Pelmeni are becoming a luxury too, we've been in the country about a month ago with a friend and we went to the closest supermarket for some food and decided to get some pelmeni in case we are not in the mood to cook and… It's too expensive now — like 700 roubles for 500 gramms, and it wasn't even the most expensive stuff there. I've been like: WTF, I can make several days worth of food with this kind on money, with meat and all that, something like pilaf. And they are now selling pelmeni without meat at all, they are putting something that only tastes like meat, but isn't real meat, into them!
@dcc@theorytoe Probably this! Plus sleep deprivation, but others have already noted that. And I don't think naps help TBH, proper long sleep is a must. Sometimes it's easier said than done when you're already in this state — extremely tired, but unable to fall asleep. Not being on Fedi might help though :marseyemojismilemouth:
@mint@Tadano I had to take my cats to the vet at noon today to get them vaccinated, but I woke up earlier and was like "Okay, I'll check out what's up on Fedi and go back to bad",— and literally the first thing I see is this vulnerability being discussed and I was: "Damn! Do I really have to fix it now?" :marseytabletired:
@PhenomX6 I think I still have a 80286 motherboard with CPU somewhere in the storage room — fun stuff, it even has a LED that indicates it's in protected mode, but I don't have a PSU for it. @bartholin@SuperSnekFriend@Xeraser
@PhenomX6 Wow, the oldest CPU I have in a working computer is probably in Thinkpad T40, it's somewhat close to P4, pre-Centrino, but more power efficient. Oh, no, I actually have something even older, this thing: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/109225441071185098 It has Pentium 3 in it. But one of the hinges broke so I barely use it :marseysad2: @bartholin@SuperSnekFriend@Xeraser
@PhenomX6 What would be the correct reaction to your online acquaintance texting you that he/she would be okay killing you? Serious question. Offer help? Blocking, at least for the time being, doesn't sound *that* bad to me. I think that offering help to a person in this state whom you only interact online with won't work. When a friend of mine told me that her friend had some sort of breakdown and started posting shit about her online, even though they met in person, they were living in different countries when that happened, and I honestly didn't know what to advise to her. Your thoughts?
