But if the app is just a bundled web browser that goes to a single web page why don’t I go to that page with my regular web browser and save the RAM / disk space / bandwidth?

Windows 9x was really, really unstable. I couldn’t believe how much more stable and convenient (packages managers) this free OS created by volunteers was. And around 2000, once I started building machines with Linux support in mind it’s been all I run. I’d say I’m obsessed.

01:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)

Oh no! My 10ish year old supermicro server has a Matrix MGA built in to the motherboard and integrated with the ipmi OOB management system. I’m sure I can add in a newer video card but I assume the impi won’t be able to redirect video from it. :'(

Edit: hang on… crisis averted I think, my system is using the mgag200 driver and it doesn’t look like that one is being removed.

I had a SIS card back in the day as well. I never got it working with Xfree86 itself but I did find a proprietary xserver called Accelerated-X that supported it.

Fuel could also include natural gas / propane for heating and cooking.

I’ll get right on that whole ‘getting my shit together’ thing ;)

Anybody got a link to that grocerybag.stl?

Exercise helped me a lot. Being a computer nerd I found my body needs to be as tired as my brain by the end of the day.

I’m not sure if this is the case everywhere but where I am at the storm sewers empty water from the streets into the lakes and rivers that eventually go to the ocean. I’d really like to see us disconnect those sewers from the rivers, lakes, and oceans to keep that crap out of the water.

Edit: clarify language a bit.

I thought this was going to be about the fairly new feature systemd soft-reboot

freedesktop.org/…/systemd-soft-reboot.service.htm…

I think that feature was added in systemd 254 and that was released in July so it might be a bit before you can try it.

That’s fresh! It hasn’t landed in Gentoo stable yet.

Boy ohh boy mom, you sure know how to hydrate a pizza.

rattking, 9 months ago

Wait a minute, Doc. Ah… Are you telling me you’re going to deliver pizzas… in a DeLorean?

The way I see it, if you’re gonna deliver pizzas, why not do it with some style?

Maybe OP should lay off that plant based ground that beef based ground.

Just goofing on the word salad in your meme. I’m glad you enjoyed your chili.

Something big… Top the tater instead of sour cream! There’s something big!

I’ve seen single log lines that wouldn’t fit on a floppy disk. Time to truncate

Not a specific distro per se but I’m shocked by how many minified docker images do not include which I’ve wasted so much time trying to figure out why a build failed with some tool missing after I explicitly installed that tool only to find deep down in a script somewhere a tool=$(which tool) >/dev/null in there failing and eating the error message! Remember folks always which which first to avoid such issues ;)

In my case I hate that I’ll be watching a movie or tv show using Kodi on my HTPC and I’ll get a bunch of “drive removed” “drive added” notification popups and sounds when snap auto updates. I’ve looked around to see what might be updating and I swear it’s always something stupid like gnome-calculator. Like who TF cares…

Are there any benefits to running Wayland if the games you play need xwayland? Does anyone know if there any games the use wayland natively?

I ask because I just started using Wayland on my gaming PC after a couple show stopping issues were fixed since I last tried it. (Nvidia + KDE on Gentoo)
