there are a couple youtube channels I recently discovered that do just that. take REALLY old computers and parts and try to make them semi-viable for modern computing. and I’m talking stuff that is easily nearly 30+ years old.

BoomerTec and Action Retro. BoomerTec I really like as he’ll just pick up random old PCs and explain all the parts inside and even give a history on them. His vids are like really awesome relaxing sunday morning watches. He even finds FOSS stuff that will still work on really old pcs. because of his channel I even discovered forks of firefox that are still actively developed for 32bit or community builds of Windows XP that are still updated today. For example his recent vid he bought a PC from 1998 off Ebay and got Firefox, Photoshop, and OpenOffice working on it. even games.

Action Retro pretty much does the same thing but with a focus on Linux. He’s done videos of taking like old Compaqs from the 90s and getting linux running on them. Really impressive stuff.

Veronica Explains is also good for this. Her video of taking old chromebooks and getting linux working on them is very detailed and thorough. Extremely easy to follow even for first timers. Also what I like about Veronica Explains is her videos remind me of old TechTV Screen Savers and Call for Help.

OR “The Microsoft ROG handheld isn’t doing as well as we hoped and we REALLY need to get back on the steamdeck”

If true expect announcements for Apex Legends, BF, etc where they suddenly role back on the claim that the majority of cheaters are on Linux. I guarantee it.

all because one woman wanted to bring her daughter back to life.

honestly I just looked at what others have done with qobuz-player which is a TUI qobuz player and pretty much copied and pasted that.

yeah I recently built myself a music player because I was just so disappointed with all the available options on Linux. Nothing had EVERYTHING I wanted. Many had really crappy shuffles or just didn’t include one at all. many just wouldn’t play the entirety of your music collection and most simply wouldn’t do both online streaming and local music playback. So I built one that’s TUI based that does everything I want and it’s perfect. Allows me to play music from QoBuz, my Navidrome server, or just local music files OR I can play all three making a “SUPER” music library. Shuffle that ACTUALLY shuffles the ENTIRE collection. search feature, integration with soulseek to download music to either my local machine or navidrome and qobuz search to add to that playlist.

I’m not going to release it because A. like i said it’s perfect for me and B. I dont’ want to deal with users git issues or having to deal with other devs wanting to contribute. It works, it’s mine, and that’s that. will never see the light of day.

add the star of david in there and it’s perfect.

for my dev work and workflow learning how to effectively use the terminal and use it for just about everything.

Once you figure it out and use a good terminal IDE using your computer just becomes faster. It’s faster than using a GUI for everything. Utilizing the terminal and a tiling Window Manager also makes using the mouse obsolete. I don’t use a mouse or touchpad for anything other than gaming now. using the mouse slows me down.

I can manage everything on my computer now and multiple programs with 2 terminal windows. or simply manage everything within DOOM Emacs.

that’s another program I strongly suggest people check out and learn. DOOM Emacs is my go to IDE, Terminal, Email client, Git Manager, and File Manager. does all that and does it all well.

OR “Please, stop embarrassing Mother Russia.”

Essentially this whole thing further proves that A. Russia can’t fight a war or “special operation” anymore. it can’t fight anyone and B. since it can’t fight anyone it’s incapable of protecting its allies.

Russia is no longer a threat. All Putin can do is condemn, condemn, condemn.

anything that even remotely goes against the interests of reddit will get you banned. you can be banned stating “I’m surprised no one has taken a shot at an ICE agent yet”.

they’ll remove anything that even remotely suggests crime or a potential of a crime. Hell for example the Toronto subreddit will remove any posts linking to news articles about crime in the city and ban the user for posting said article.

Removed by mod

yeah don’t do anything about your nazi state, nothing to see here, continue to consume.

the fuck is PP giving statements for? fucker still doesn’t have security clearance. He’s got about as much knowledge on what’s really going on as I do.

Removed by mod

to both be replaced by worse figureheads?

No. Revolution first, then trials and executions.

Tin foil hat time: IF he is dead he was killed before the strikes started.

1998 Pontiac Grand Am.

Fantastic car, thing never broke down. Hell you could drive without an oil change and the thing would keep going. Was pretty much the 90s version of the K-Car.

uh-huh yeah ha ha woo uh huh am I dreaming or is this real, sleep all day, gotta get that feel ha ha yeah oh uh the city is spinning, but ya see ha ha I ain’t dipping. gotta get the reception, ha ha yeah woo it’s an inception!

it does but with Twitch it’s a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it’ll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won’t work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.

It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there’s really nothing on there anymore worth watching.

I’ve tried the qbz flatpak but noticed it was a bit slow and buffered a lot when compared to just using the site. However seeing that TUI you posted, I will be setting that up today and checking it out. thanks, had no clue someone built a TUI for it.

Yeah I also wanted the blur/dim for unfocused windows. I tried going the DWL route because there’s a patch to do just that but it’s an absolute headache to get working on NixOS. I mean I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me, just kept failing to build. so I settled with River.
