Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu… Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

The BOFH and his PFY are still helping their users…

When traveling I use GPSLogger and automatically upload the tracks to a private Nextcloud (but it supports more upload options). The map is shared with friends and family.

You can use OSMAnd to visualize your tracks.

Works pretty well so far… This is all Android based ofcourse.

Ha yeah, thats accurate enough. I had some cool tracker software that could even render some discolights flashing to the music. Great way to enjoy electronice music before MP3’s where a thing. Especially since you needed about three disks per song to transfer them :p

Mod files played with tracker software. They were awesome at the time (and still are).

Try sunglasses? But maybe other souls can still be saved from evil…

Disadvantage: you’re now using a browser from the biggest spy ad-ware company and killed web heterogeneity.

Try: Firefox from Mozilla-Team PPA

I build my machine about 8 years ago and it is time for a new one. I use it mainly for coding and research but I do like the occasional game (even VR). I try to max out specs so the PC lasts a long time.

For a moment I thought you literally meant a penguin herder, I would be so happy…

You could try the book… The movie is quite tame compared to the book though. It sketches a very detailed look into the time as well. Iirc there are about five pages in wich Bateman explains why he loves certain music albums. And of course his whole morning routine… I really liked it.

That is correct. There is both and Ing and Ir title that are Engineer. Ir for masters and Ing for higher education.

See Titels voeren.

Same for the Netherlands.

Ha no problem. They’re fond memories so it is fun to revisit and talk about :)

It was unbelievable cool, but not in a temperature way. It was a bit chilly but not that bad since it was summer. That also means no sundown so it was just a bit less light. We dug a hole in the snow to keep from the wind and with some thick sleeping bags in a waterproof bag it was quite comfy and warm.

You are very far from any real civilization (no cellphone or anything) and that is completely refreshing. You just lay there listening to remote avalanches and the ocean, haven’t slept as good as there. Untill after a short night I woke up from snow drifting into my nose and it was time to go before the weather changed.

Afterwards we took a swim in 4°C ocean water… That also sure was something :)

Edit: I’ve written a small journal with some pictures on my blog if you’re interested…

That’s such a shame. ZFS has been rock solid for me for years while I hear lots of scary stories about btrfs.

Just a note, unless you have a very specific use-case you don’t want to do deduplication.

See:

Yes, and it saved my ass a few times. Every computer I own now and in the future will have at least mirrored or raidz disks with zfs. On all desktops, laptops, servers and nas.

Even upgrading from spinning rust to ssd was easy replacing the disks one by one and resilvering.

The (k)ubuntu installation made it very easy to have an encrypted zfs rootfs but they may have removed it on newer installation iso’s, I’m not sure…

Yes, and that is where we enter the complicated territories…
