Yeah, that one. Too bad about it.

I’m not sure I mind that. The last one was pretty good. Not sure about the spinoff as I stopped watching it after two eps maybe.

Here, you’ve lost an arm: \

What on earth is that?

Naw. I’m just stretching the thought.

Thought process was not FOSS = not communal = capitalism.

Until you mention that you don’t mind select proprietary packages or drivers.

sipr is very strict about what it is letting connect to it. Which is why you rarely hear about breaches. Notable incidents like Manning or Snowden both involved usage of physical media, which has been severely restricted since. Plus Snowden was an admin, and not on SIPRNet, but some NSA systems.

To add, SIPRNet is entirely isolated from NIPRNet or the Internet.

I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this.

I’ve been following your posts daily, and this is probably the most interesting one yet.

So going by OP’s analogy, we should make cherry juice out of all the varieties of cherries.

I’ll allow it.

You can’t connect a star link to siprnet.

The worst a bad actor could do is constantly transmitting location and other combat data.

So where’s the pictures?!?

Yeah, XP was pretty good.

After a lot of back and forth between MSDOS/Win98SE (I used to play a lot of QuakeWorld which did not need much), I finally got an AMD Duron 800 around 2000, and someone recommend me Win2k. It was a really stable system, way ahead of its time in terms of user management and services compared to Win98SE and early XP. I think I’ve stayed on it well past it’s final release. I got sucked into WoW in 2008, so definitely had to move on by then.

I really love it on my laptop.

The only thing that scared me is its reliance on Ubuntu. I wonder if it can go beyond that some day somehow. Plus I wanted to try something different. I have no idea what I’m talking about btw.

I just really aimed for it due to the meme.

Nice find!

Maintained by a Hungarian too, coolio.

It did! I just checked and I put it (arch) on the back burner for four months.

But yes, Mint and similar easy to install distros are the way to go for someone new for sure. Probably don’t even need to move on from it ever, as long as it works.

Not everything is as snappy as I’d like it to be yet. Maybe KDE Plasma is not the best for my 12 year old system. Been thinking I should have gone with the zen kernel.

But I’m having tons of fun while discovering it nonetheless.

That’d be hard core. Alas, I don’t have balls of steel and/or a mushy brain like that.

I bet there’s still someone out there that makes it work somehow.

I did it! I did it over the long weekend. Been using Windows since 3.1 (albeit only switched fully from MSDOS when Windows 2000 came out).

I did a test run on my laptop during time away from home/desktop over the summer, using Linux Mint, to see if I can do work and school on an unfamiliar system exclusively. On Mint I never had to open the terminal and everything worked right out of the box. Cinnamon is very similar to Win10 too. Heck, I can’t even remember the installation procedure, it was so hands off and easy.

After two failed attempts of Arch on the same laptop, I’ve managed to install it with help of archinstaller on my main desktop. No idea what I’m doing, but I got it up and running to a state where I can do both work and school.

FUCK Windows and the constant nag it does everywhere. Good riddance.
