Learning to learn:

in the year 2000

I’ll never forget the time a yellow jacket had gotten inside my Coke can. I found out the hard way.

I agree.

I am not entirely sure what you are saying here (English as a second language?), but here is a good overview:

Remember that most of the Arch Linux wiki also applies.

Mostly people that can’t or won’t setup anything more complicated than a PS1

The hilarity here is that iirc this first showed up on !linuxsucks@lemmy.world , and gained a 3rd of the popularity. At least we see and understand what it is like if you go the Gentoo route.

If we want to go deeper;

Yeah. Not getting the point is the point here, I guess.

Two trees fell on the roof, and that let all the rain in. It is just crazy. Lots and lots of really hard to find retro gaming stuff was lost.

I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

I ordered a keyboard replacement. This thing is a serious pain. The power switch is directly part of the keyboard. Under that button is nothing but silver paint for the contacts, which had firmed a crack over time.

The worst part? Above the keyboard is a thin piece of sheet metal. It is “riveted” on by melting a fee dozen plastic standoff that affixed the metal piece by melting the tips of them. I spent an hour carefully popping them off with a screwdriver. The replacement keyboard fits (good news!), but I have to carefully use a soldering iron to melt the tops of these pieces back into “rivets.”

On the plus side, I have upgraded the RAM and added a hard drive. If it POSTs at the end of this, I will have 16gb of RAM and a 4 to add, which will let me ditch the external drive.

It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

Not software. Actual hardware hardware button.

I wish laptops were a practical thing when I was in school. I had a PDA and it was useless.
