It’s not 4. Wiki has a table and more info

I run a couple small mailservers. It’s still possible.

I like terminology

It’s quick, gpu accelerated, can natively display images, and I’m not sure what else.

I don’t use the rest of enlightenment de but have stuck with terminology for years

If you don’t care about the benefits of Gentoo, such as the excellent use flags system, then no it’s very much not worth it.

If you’d rather that every program comes compiled with every possible option, and requires every possible dependency because of this, then you’d be better suited by a binary distro.

If, however, you’re the kind of person that wonders “why does my torrent client support sound, which pulls in these five audio dependencies? I don’t ever need it to make noise, can’t I just disable the ability for torrents to go ‘bing’ when they’re done and forego installing those dependencies?”, then gentoo might be for you.

Mandrake is another

The company that under-promises won’t win the bid, though. Unfortunately the norm now is to overpromise, and then squeeze as many extra fees and concessions out of the project as possible.

There’s also a culture of contractors vs engineers where limits willingness to work together to find solutions. “not my fault”.

Unrelated but also kind of related: check out bedrock Linux. It’s a trip.

It lets you ‘hijack’ a Linux install and then you can use package managers and packages from other distros. It’s magical how well it works.

Definitely worth a try for anyone curious.

I’ve been dual booting it since their earlier releases and things are surprisingly smooth now.

Same, though I also enjoyed guayadeque for a period.

No operating system meets those criteria, open source or commercial.

We need to find a new way to hate on stupid vehicles without body shaming.

The guys with small dicks never did anything wrong. I’m sure some of those truck drivers have massive cannons the diameter of a coke can, but that doesn’t excuse their stupid wasteful vanity machines.

They weren’t cheap but I got my sennheiser Hd650s around 2004 and still use them daily.

I’ve replaced the ear pads and cord once each, otherwise they’re original.

Yep. Half my ram as level one, and then a 500gb SSD as L2.

Definitely more than I need for the L2 as the hit rate is only 15% (vs 99% for ARC), but I don’t think there’s much of a downside to slightly over-sizing it these days (there used to be, but L2 is more ram-efficient now).

Not who you responded to, but I have a similar setup using ZFS.

6 drives in raid 6, and then an SSD cache.

There are sites like ratemds.com, depending on your area.

But like most internet reviews, people tend to only post negative experiences or astroturfing.

That’s not universally true. My thinkpad has the most colour accurate screen in my house. Much better then my apple laptops or pretty decent dell screens.

The issue is Lenovo will also sell absolute garbage screens, so you need to pay attention when ordering. Iirc mine was a $500 upgrade or something equally shocking.

Exactly what my name promises, no story.

I have it posted for free on the classifieds in hopes it will disappear.

I bet it will. I managed to sell a few for $40 a piece a couple years back.

I had extras because the kits that included a hub were cheaper than the bare bulbs.

The news was going to leak, so he decided to get ahead of it. He very much would have preferred to finish the investigation first
