How I be looking while listening to slamming brutal death metal songs with indecipherable lyrics about violently slaughtering people :blobcat:

I think the clanker slop has finally reached Slashdot. They just released a brand-new article about the release of #Slackware 15.0. 4 years after its release. Worse yet, the info is all over the place @volkerdi#slackwareit's a release party all over again ;-) https://slashdot.org/story/26/02/15/0249259

Did y'all know #ClassiCube has a (really broken) #SegaSaturn port? I have for a while, but now that I can play on real hardware, I gave it a shot again. Due to a shitload of graphical glitches, I couldn't think of much else to build that'd fully render […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[lewd, gross, Valentine's Day, bro what] 56 times?! What is this, amateur hour? Goddamn pussyshit n00b. https://archive.fo/6uUnj *btw this is a satirical article, otherwise I would have a lot more sympathy*

I feel like in terms of one's mental state, a lot of people these days can relate to the Vendozoans. How? Well, in the same sense that the Vendozoan clade has been extinct for half a billion years, a lot of us mentally haven't been "all there" in a hot minute with the world how it is these days […]

I think it's mega unpoggies that Google's cybersecurity team won't let me, the average person with zero connection to Google, SSH into [email protected] and run `rm -fr / --no-preserve-root` Like, are they trying not to let 28 years of being evil get deleted? Wack. I just wanna help them rid […]

#mojang and #microsoft sure are trying harder and harder all the time to make #minecraft players wanna move over to #luanti, aren't they?

fatass rat says NO to ICE

Damn, why does Tommy Wright III's music gotta be out-of-print and so expensive. Bro needs to repress his shit 🥀 #tommywrightiii #memphisrap #hiphop

TIL that #slackware 11.0's ISO was removed from https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-iso Saw a discussion on Reddit (gross) where people were freaking out about it. Like, you know you can just go to slackware.uk or even one directory up on the official mirror, and go to […]

[nsfw, what, commentary on Zootopia] I just got done watching Zootopia 1 and 2 tonight. Throughout the entirety of Zootopia 2, I couldn't shake the feeling that I perhaps don't wanna look for anything Zootopia-related on the internet for the next few months, lest I be blasted with a […]

I wish more FOSS-friendly ARM-based laptops existed. Sure, you can run Asahi on a MacBook, or futz around with a Snapdragon laptop, but imo we need more things like the Pinebook Pro (RIP) or the Argon ONE UP. That's it, that's the only two daily-drivable FOSS-friendly ARM laptops I can think of […]

Me appealing to all generations: 68±1

[Plagiarized wizard boy] I hate regional title changes within media, especially when the title is different between two countries that speak the same language. For example, the first Harry Potter book is known in the UK as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" while in the US it's "Harry […]

New year, new blog entry (albeit 25 days later) https://tronnerd82.nekoweb.org/blogs/random/propaganda.html Ohh boy do I yap in this one.

Due to some freezing rain last night, my entire county is iced over and mildly slippery, and the highest temperature I've seen is 27*F. Of course, since this is happening in the deep south, people are reacting like it's the goddamn apocalypse and have been clearing store shelves the past few […]

I like to hope I'll get to live a long and happy life free of a dystopian hell, but the more time I spend in the 2020s the more I'm inclined to believe the Torment Nexus will be a Microsoft product before the end of the decade.

Playing around with #Wayland, it seems pretty cool. I'm still trying to unlearn some of the #X11-isms, but I managed to get real-time clock and battery updates here on #dwl. It especially helped that I patched dwl to use IPC. Also, obligatory #Slackware […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Got myself some str8 🔥 here in the form of Pyrexia's "Sermon of Mockery." Love me some old-school brutal death metal. #Pyrexia #deathmetal #cassette #sermonofmockery #brutaldeathmetal #nydm #newyorkdeathmetal

Someone needs to tell all the buildings that there's a lot of racists around with dreams totally ready for haunting

If I ever managed to find a #DECstation 3100 from 1989, what'd be the overall likelihood that I could get modern #Linux of some kind running on what was at one point the world's fastest MIPS-powered #Unix workstation (for all of a few months iirc)? Because I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Lately I've had a curious interest in the W WIndow System ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_Window_System ) which predated the X Window System. Sadly it doesn't appear to be archived online. One can only hope, because I'd love to imagine that someone would be crazy enough to get it going on a […]

Oh look, my prediction is coming true that Bluesky is slowly morphing into Twitter 2.0. Called it. Reject fascism, federate instead.

I was just thinking. If there's anything good to take from the existence of XLibre, it's that it's keeping the fascists in one place and has allowed for X.Org to have a big influx in proper development. I hope to see X.Org outlive XLibre and still be useful for those who need it well into the […]

Friendly reminder that you'd be justified in treading on those who seek to take away your natural birthright to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe in social equality just as much as individual liberty, so I won't stand for the same […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

So uhhh... KDE 1 on Slackware 15, anyone? #slackware #linux #kde #foss #opensource #kde1 #midesktop

As much as I despite Scott Adams for his bigotry and tirades, I still offer my condolences to his estate and continue to enjoy his old and impartial Dilbert comics. In light of that, should you yourself wish to consume Dilbert but don't want to support Adams' bigotry, I recommend doing things […]

I just got back from Central Carolina Comic-Con, where Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, was making an appearance. I got a picture and an autograph on a SpongeBob comic (not pictured because it was personalized). #tomkenny #centralcarolinacomiccon #comiccon #selfie #spongebob

I love mesh networks, and love the 1999 WAP standard. After I started thinkering with MeshCore I realised text is fun but what about the internet? WAP 1.x was built to be sent over SMS... this might work. Taking my WAP-over-SMS project and two ESP32s and voila! WAP internet (all you actually […]

Today I learned Boston has an independent hockey team called Team Trans. As the name implies, all the players in the team identify as trans and/or non-binary. Fucking awesome :)

If only all the world's geopolitical conflicts were settled in dance-offs rather than warfare, because even if all sides are biased towards their own dancing leading to an impasse, at least if nothing else it'd be fun for aliens to watch from another galaxy. Oh and it doesn't end with people […]

Because it's the holidays, every Christian I know loves talking about Jesus and his miracles, but nobody has ever thought to bring up one of his biggest yet most subtle miracles, that being his completely unrelatable ability to have 12 (!!!) close friends even in his 30s.

Fun fact - you can copy and paste the redacted text of the Epstein files into LibreOffice Writer and see all the juicy deets unredacted because the DOJ apparently only used black highlighting.

If you haven't followed my timeline, I picked up an original #bananapi BPi-M1 from 2013 with the intent to install #slackwarearm on it. That was a few months ago, and I still haven't had success. I think the problem stems from the SATA cable I bought. Upon whipping it out (my multimeter, not my […]

If it weren't highly illegal, I'd train a conspiracy of ravens to do my bidding, or if that failed, import a parliament of rooks from Europe, but that'd probably be even more illegal. I can't help it corvids are cool as fuck #meme #ravens #rooks #corvids #probablynotthebestideaiveeverhad

#til there was an interview with Robin Williams and his mother Laurie in the 80s, and that she's basically rule 63 Robin Williams in appearance and mannerisms. No worries that she might've gotten the wrong baby from the ward there lol #robinwilliams #todayilearned

Managed to get #SlackwareARM 12.2 running in QEMU this afternoon. This is back when the project was called #ARMedslack, and I managed to get pfetch working, though much like my #Slackware 8.1 install from last week, I had to create my own /etc/os-release file […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

If you're understandably unhappy with Firefox' recent decision to add AI slop, here are a few good alternatives: Librewolf - Firefox fork focused on privacy and security Falkon - KDE's own browser, built on QtWebEngine, lightweight and secure, though lacking in the extensions department GNOME […]

Afternoon, Fedi

[Mention of systemd and the crowd that hates it for stupid political reasons] Personally I don't use systemd because I'm more familiar with Slackware's traditional init, and not for any bullshit political reasons. That said, if I wanna use systemd-free Debian forks, should I go with: Devuan […]

Managed to get Slackware 4.0 running in 86Box with the same specs as my Slackware 8.1 install from yesterday. For this one, pfetch just segfaulted, so I had to write up my own janky little fetch script. If anyone's interested, I can clean it up and share it […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Should I touch grass?

I wonder if it's possible for a trans girl to make a full transition using only Impossible Whoppers... Probably not the healthiest way to get their E, but a tasty one nonetheless :3 #showerthoughts

Got my Christmas tree set up today. Rate it out of 10 if you like.

Last night I watched Home Alone for the umpteenth time and it finally set in: The reason the best part of the movie, that being the physical comedy, only starts 3/4 of the way through is because if the action started sooner and were portrayed more accurately, it'd be a very short movie and […]

The visual design of Xbox hardware kinda sucks tbh like where's my 60-pound giant metal X huh Bill?

You know, it didn't click with me until just now that even though #sega fans are plentiful, the #segagenesis / #segamegadrive was Sega's only successful console worldwide. Sure, the #segasaturn sold the most out of Sega's consoles in Japan, and the #segamastersystem sold pretty big in Europe and […]

Today I learned this fart sound effect found in like a morbillion memes is actually from a fart fetish video that's ACCESSIBLE ON YOUTUBE. Neat. #todayilearned #til #fart #memes

SpongeBob episodes will be silly as hell and then have shit like this: #spongebob #wwi #memes #madeingimp

So like, I'm trying to update my installs of #gnunet and #gnunetmessenger, and for some reason, going to git.gnunet.org only opens up a video from a talk at the Future Finance Fest, talking about GNU Taler and whatnot. Seems kind of dumb to temporarily take down your entire git instance just to […]
