My mother’s writings, in WordStar 4.0. Took some research to open and read them decently today.

Astonishing enough some old fart in love with WordStar not only created all the necessary conversion tools but even packaged WordStar 7 (the last existing release) so that it can be used today.

Edit: to put this in context, WordStar 4 used to run on an IBM compatible 8086 4.7Mhz PC, with wopping 640kb ram and 5.25 floppy disks. We already had an hard drive, some 16mb (iirc) beast that took two full 5.25 bay slots and was driven via MF/RL analog signals or something similar

Book nooks…

Not that expensive, but pure wasted useless money indeed…

But they are satisfying to build…

Oh, that’s… Good to know… Your 8yo flush ratio seems a bit high to me, mine used to go more in the 10% rate…

At 13, rate went up to 90% I would say… Alt depends if he has a fortnite match going or not to go back to…

PS: yeah water goes down here too… Weird!

I assume you are in north america, maybe Canada?

Here in Europe, just forget it building yourself. Because in addition to all the building code and rules, you simply cannot fulfill the work area safety rules and, unless you can do 100% alone all the work, also guarantee the requirements for the other workers. What I mean is that you cannot because a company is required, only a company can have all the required paperwork for having other people working on the site.

And don’t get me started on the “paesaggistica,”, which is a town commission that must approve and change to the facade or in general public visible parts of your house to ensure those match the landscape…

They forbid me to have a 2-way roof, I needed to replace the 4-way roof with a similar one because “it’s the style here”. More complex, more money, less light (no real windows possible). And o counted 80% of houses around me have 2-way roof… So you go figure.

Diving into sports I guess… Not going down for lack of physical training… Maybe for an heart attack tough…

Thanks man! Next in line, find out how water circles in toilet…

Damn, I always wanted to ask how do you feel living heads down?

I’m in old Europe, so I used living upright, but sometimes my back hurts, some compression relief would be great…

Welcome buddy!

Take care and live long.

I never tested copyparty… Thank you for the test… Nice! I am using OpenList at this time, but CC is also nice.

Yes it’s docker… Immich is only deployed via docker.

Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.

Just use Nginx… It isn’t that difficult, after all.

Or try any one of the “simplified” other proxies out there. I never seen the need for NPM anyway, as it just obfuscate nginx configuration stuff from your eyes.

I wrote for my own benefit, and for others who might be interested.

Gentooer here. Emerge sync &; world daily at night.

Weekly a manual check for stuff that doesn’t autoupdate for reasons.

Monthly / biweekly podman compose pull for containers. Manual, because i don’t trust that kind of autoupdate.

Edit: opnSense updates are manual only when I remember because if it breaks, I must be at home to fix it or i lose remote access and that’s bad.

Gentoo user here.

Of course I always build every package from source because that’s how Gentoo works.

Well, you get well optimized software for your specific cpu and architecture that often will not run on a different CPU. At the cost of lots of time.

For big ones like Firefox or rust I always choose the prebuilt ones… But everything else is from sources.

Also, another great advantage is to customize package features to your likings, like disable an audio backend or enable another, and such.

The failure of globalization?

Where it was supposed to lift third world countries from poverty and instead created bigger wealth gaps?

Font know really. It’s like that in many places… India, Mexico, South Africa just a few that I have seen.

It’s mostly failure of the state.

Navidrome + tempo (or any other subsonic clients)…

And spotizerr to fetch from deezer/Spotify once. Or Slskd for a nice soulseek experience

I think your autocorrect went a bit too far, I cannot understand what you wrote.

Using a different distro feels awkward. I am so used to how stuff is organized in Gentoo :) but it’s still Linux, so no, it’s only minor differences.

(Spcially, i hate when using a SystemD based distro, because i am not used to it and it honestly feels cumbersome compared to OpenRC. Gentoo also has SystemD support, it fully support it, but i never found the need for it, so i never switched, and never got familiar with it. My fault)

Last weekend i setup a laptop from deleting the windows partition to full LXQT desktop in 4 hours. The laptop is quite fast, and i skipped all ocmpiler hogs like firefox (choosed firefox-bin) and rust (choosed rust-bin). Later on, i also installed a full plasma+kde environment in some more 10 hours (all compile time in background, while using the laptop on LXQT).

The biggest downside of Gentoo is being so niche, i always fear that some day it will be abandoned due to too few people maintaining it. I had this fear for the last 10 years, and never happened, so.

There are no real downsides to Gentoo IMHO, except becoming too expert with Linux :)

Really, it’s mostly understand what your are doing and editing text files. Much easier and better documentation than most other distro.

Full time user of Gentoo since 20+ years here. Oll servers, workstations, laptops and even on an android tablet once.

It’s not complicated at all, mostly just different from anything else. And truly configurable to the last bit.

Edit: it seems there aren’t may gentooers here, AMA :)

Very much yes!

Leftist doesn’t mean communist or socialist.

And also doesn’t mean a specific economic model, more a set of principles that guide your reasoning and behaviour (hopefully)
