I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.” Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, oh ok and he continues. “And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.”

I had dabbled with Linux and BSDs in the late 90s to early 2000s. I was using Win2k on main computer, fully updated with antivirus software when I started getting popups in Internet Explorer, and I never even used IE. My internet was slow so I went to a book store and bought a SuSE book with CDs.

Opensuse tumbleweed. It’s solid, stays up to date because it’s a rolling release, and Yast can be a life saver for new users.

I was using windows 2000 and suddenly got dozens of popups in internet explorer. I didn’t even use internet explorer, I used Netscape for all of my web browsing. I had dabbled a little with BSD and Linux so I just took the plunge. My local bookstore had a SuSE book with CDs so I bought it and never looked back. I’ve distro hoped a few times but keep going back to Suse.

Not buying a Samsung fridge will kill it even quicker.

It’s a Windows home server, how else is he going too keep it up.

Two kids were caught with enough fuel oil and fertilizer at their homes to blow up a city block. This was well before Fight Club so I’m not sure where they got the idea from.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

The 520ST was my first computer, and I still have it.

Not Linux, but OpenBSD. I got a sun ultra 5 for free so I decided to make a router out of it. After some research OpenBSD looked like the best option. I bought a pf book and started writing configs. After about a week I had a really nice router that did exactly what I asked it. This was back in the early days of xbox360 so getting all of the port forwarding right was kind of a pain since we had three of them connected in our apartment along with all of the computers. Then the harddrive crashed and I hadn’t made any backups. That was a lot of work down the drain.

I like how they attribute the image to chatgpt. Like we didn’t realize that just from looking at it.

I really hate crinch noge on my gane den.

New Rose Hotel (1998) It’s set in the same universe as Johnny Mnemonic, stars Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento. I love Gibson stories and the short story it’s based on, while not one of his best, could make a good creepy weird movie especially with that cast. Unfortunately it is one of the most boring movies I’ve sat through at least half a dozen times.

IV was not as good as IIIs storyline, but there were a few qol and mechanics improvements. It’s a solid JRPG, well worth playing.

I was given a CD set for SUSE 8.2, then bought the 9.0 book set from a book store because I liked it but wanted the hard copy to reference when I was messing things up. I’ve tried a ton of other distros, but keep going back to Suse because I’m used to it.
