I wanted to reinstall my Gentoo system. A SUSE (back before OpenSUSE) disc was the newest distro I had lying around. I thought it shouldn’t matter from which system I do the install, Gentoo won’t care.

So I repartitioned /dev/hda, installed the base system and went to set up my mount points. Only to discover that my data drive was gone. Stupid SUSE labeled the drives differently. /dev/hdb was my old system drive and I had repartitioned my old data drive.

Taught me to really check which drive was which. I wouldn’t touch SUSE again for decades because of this.

Voyager supports that. There are apps for iOS, Android and the web.

Around that time we had the Nokia N900. For me it was the perfect phone. Debian as a base with Nokia’s (unfortunately proprietary) apps on top of X11. You could just recompile Linux apps like Gimp and it worked. Apps that were made for Palm’s WebOS worked.

Pidgin’s libpurple was used for all the instant messaging so just about any protocol just worked without any need for extra apps. You could easily hack the underlying system. People added functionality like using the light sensor as a button. Angry Bird’s first release was on that phone.

I miss it dearly. It was killed by Microsoft. Nothing ever managed to come close. That little 128 MB RAM machine had better multitasking than modern 8 GB phones.

Until then Bazzite seems to be what you’re looking for. Although any other Linux Distribution should work as well. I put OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my Deck to have more customisation options.

That’s a Steam Machine. The idea didn’t take off because it’s just a pre-built PC (and because they trusted other companies to do it for them). It’s a highly competitive market with very low margins.

When they announced the Deck they did recommend one particular small box as a development machine as it matched the Deck’s performance very closely. You might try looking for that. Although by now there are probably more powerful ones available for the same price.

You don’t even need that. I have switched between several distros and always kept the same filesystem and just deleted everything but the /home folder. No problems. Every installer supported that.

Doesn’t Pop!OS do that already?

The first one that came to mind was fli4l (Floppy ISDN for Linux). Originally a distro of German origin that fit on a single floppy disk to turn a 386 or 486 PC into a router for ISDN connections. Last I looked it’s still actively worked on.

There are probably tons of more obsuce ones. But this is one I actually used.

I love Did I take my meds? to remind me take my pills but also show me if I already took them that day.

Yeah, back then Valve was just a shitty publisher insisting on their own shitty DRM infested launcher.

Oh, and for some stupid reason professional subs never translate the theme song. Fan subs do that. I used to have a version of Evangelion where it would alternate between the translation and Japanese lyrics in roman letters, that was nice.

I love when translators add cultural explanations in fan subs of animes.

This is not an example of that:

Nextcloud as the server and DAVx⁵ with Fossify Calendar as the client on my phone. On my laptop Kontact, but I haven’t looked at that in ages, so it could be in shambles for all I know. I think I’ve also used Thunderbird with some plugin.

And my Fritzbox router uses CardDAV to populate the phonebook of all connected phones.

Only the other way around. You can read and post to Lemmy from Mastodon, but you cannot follow Mastodon content from Lemmy.

Guess I was always using the right combination of apps. Never had any problems with CalDAV and CardDAV. Except for frustration at outright missing support.

Which one is it? I was spoiled by Kaffeehus in Göttingen. I usually take straciatella or chocolate but there it must be vanilla.

Your perception of time even changes based on your body temperature. When you’re hot time runs quicker for you, meaning stuff takes longer.

And people say Linux lets the user shoot himself.

They’ll offer it as paid DLC.
