I remember installing a version 0.9x from a set of infomagic cdroms in the mid 90s. Ended up going back to running Slackware for a long time to come though. Hard to understand I’ve been playing with and earning a living with Linux for just about 30 years now. Debian has played a big part in that.

While that would be great, in reality because of YouTube’s recommendations, the ones most likely to watch this crap are the ones already drinking the kool-aid and thus upvoting.

These instances were the first that made me search for a block instance option in Memmy. Still I’m not entirely happy seeing all this defederation happening.

I can’t be the only one who like the picture, but have absolutely no idea what the headline means.

That’s definitely Garmin for you. I’ve had forerunners and edge computers since fr205. Good hardware but shitty software. Still, I’ve tried others like wahoo and always ended up with Garmin again. Currently on an edge 1040 and a fr965, 15 years later and I still get lost in the menus.

Older ones for sure. Won’t even have a drain plug.

A lot of bad can be said about Harleys but I love that my 48 just has a little rubber hose with a plug in it to drain the oil.

That’s great, but there is still a shit ton of it in there. Check this channel where an amazing team rescues seals entangled in all our waste for a look into what we’re doing to the oceans: https://youtube.com/@OceanConservationNamibia

Those corridors bring me back to Wolfenstein 3D.

That’s more or less how I got my first job back in the 90s. A buddy and I started hanging out at the local computer store. We discovered Linux because we wanted to run an Amiga emulator and a little later when the store wanted to start as an ISP, this was the time of local/long distance calls, so local ISPs were a thing, we got hired and build it all from scratch. Radius server, smtpd etc. everything based on the standard *nix tools, except the customer db/app which we wrote ourselves. We both dropped out of computer science for this and now almost 30 years later neither of us finished school, but both still work in tech. These were the wild days of the young Internet and I doubt it’s something that would really work these days.

I compiled my first Linux kernel back in the mid 90s, mostly on 386 and Dec Alpha hardware, interesting enough both were not that much slower than what you mentioned, I think the alpha (a measly 21066) took about 40 minutes. If you had asked me back then, I’d probably have imagined a minute or two, 30 years later. Guess it says something about how much larger the Linux kernel has become.
