Framework 12 is too tempting… could be my next x86 pc
looks at his ageing thinkpad that’s slowly dying
I ended up in the wrong side of the internet aka r/unixporn and then this happened. Just 30 mins later.
My minimal desktop as of Apr 21 2026. Not sure how long its gonna stay this way but this is good for now.
This song has a really nice tune to it: https://open.spotify.com/track/69wEYimYC9XP2wRX20NPSz?si=dd0d79cb708f428f
@jessie probably a good idea to get a tetanus shot. I was bitten by a cat when i was a kid and i somehow didnt turn into a catman...
@contrapunctus meanwhile I had my haircut 3 weeks ago and I already look like someone who got lost in a forest for a year.
@vivekanandanks do it in my style - mostly images + memes and a pinch of text here and there. Images make the presentation a lot more bearable
No matter what distro I try out. I eventually come back to Debian again. Seems like the saying “Debian is the end of distrohoppers” is indeed true
I thought my SSD died shortly after using that hotel lobby pc to make a bootable usb. My bag which had my thinkpad in it, fell from a 4 ft height inside the train. I booted the thinkpad today only to realise that the "dead" SSD somehow got resurrected.....
@vivekanandanks I tried doing something like that at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai and it flopped too hard because ocean of text in a presentation isn't my style. It was an information overload. Neither the audience understood what I tried to convey, nor me who tried to cram as much as info i could under 30 mins. My presentation had 50 slides btw
@badrihippo Ah yes finally someone else like me who has little to no text in his presentation slides.
Wanted to wrap up the packaging of raylib before I left for my trip and I did just that. Me and merkys packaged raylib into debian and it's now available in debian unstable!
@disaster2life it had a i3 2100 chip and it only had 7gb of free space on the internal drive. It only had two functional IO ports and Shit would stop working if I disconnect the keyboard. It was a miracle as to how I got my bootable usb out of that broken computer
I had to wait for 2 hours to board my train so I pulled up KOTOR1, a game that I had to abandon 3 years ago due to corrupted save files.
Bye Chennai!
This day only keeps getting more weird as I progress. It’s almost as if it wants me to put through trouble just to teach me what I can do on my own.
You know you fucked up when you gotta make a Linux bootable usb using a broken hotel lobby computer while on a trip
Installed FreeBSD on my laptop but at what cost? I can't use wifi because my pc crashes the moment i try to enable wifi. My wifi card is supported though. Atleast I got to learn some new stuff yesterday.
Gearing up for a baremetal FreeBSD install soon. Turns out that my ThinkPad's realtek network card is now supported by freebsd which is good news because if something like a network card is supported then it's very likely that the other drivers are too!
