@historyofpunkrock wasn't born yet but caught the 2nd wave of bands that were all influenced by these, I definitely need to brush up on all the originals!
@waldi That, at least, seems to work on EFI systems for Windows 11 media now
I've been helping a student re-installing Windows 11 on his laptop, I can't believe how terrible the user experience is. The latest Windows 11 installer doesn't have drivers for his totally vanilla nvme drivers (I had to download those from the Intel site and provide it on USB), it doesn't have a driver for the touchpad, and the installer is riddled with usability issues that fine all the way back in Windows 98 already. I'd really expect significantly more form a software powerhouse like MS.
@realn2s @LALegault how in the world can you consider someone like that to the left? To the left of what!?
Busy cleaning the garage and rounded up some old CPUs. They could do with some cleaning too. #vintagecomputing
@vkc I like all of those and think they're great, but also find that just plain Debian is sufficient for me!
The EFF is really unhappy about our GNU government. (just had to put that out there to confuse people not in the know :p)
@dzu Oof, this frankenbuild continues to evolve, here's some story just about the XTA disk (the only one that I know of working in an XT currently) that I have in there: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=100178
Giving up on fighting with postfix for the evening. Perhaps my old convoluted email setup that depended on things like sshfs and ssh tunnels isn't so bad after all.

@w7voa They don't want anyone to flee to Egypt, they want to annihilate them.
@LALegault even Zuma is back on the ballots in South Africa. The world is fucked YOLO.
The world is run by unhinged imbeciles, and everyone seems to be just fine with that.
@revk Also, I suppose that if a ship is your flagship, it probably makes sense to just have one of them out in the field at a time. Also, Star Trek is full of holes, it's easy to overthink things :)
@revk Ah, well. there's a few jokes throughout star trek about the excessive amounts of ship that Starfleet produced, so 1700 might not even be a lot in that context.
@revk So what would you rather expect? Two ships named Enterprise at the same time? Eg Enterprise 1 and 2? Or that they would sooner obsolete perfectly fine ships?
