[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
its the opposite of that tho

you load an image, open two ports, and you have a new app. you dont edit configs, you dont compile poo poo, you don't janitor it at all. if it fucks up you hit Restart Container and go back to what you were doing. it's wonderful to treat linux apps as something you can and will throw into a wood chipper instead of something you have to carefully janitor

yeah, docker-as-whole-system-packaging is nice, it's just usually used by incompetent nerds that can't do that very well/reproducibly. also the architecture is kinda dumb and i am still mad that rkt didn't take off

i'm sold on picking up a 920 tomorrow

at least hard drives seem to be on sale all the time, i'll just pick up some 4TB spinning rust at my leisure and maybe a half-tb m2 thing

I got one recently and this is a good decision.

im just going to keep using my xeon as a media/file server because i’m poor. it tops out at 84 watts, i’d save like eight bucks a year on my power bill.

but hopefully i’m not poor when ddr5 zens come out so i can just provision 2 of my 32 5GHz cores for media serving bitch duty. with the rest free so i can run more than 4 chrome tabs with no slowdowns. living the dream.

they were selling them as a back to school thing, and when the season was over all of the back to school stuff went on clearance, including the ssds

thing about that is because they were in the system as "seasonal" and not electronics you had to wander around the store trying to find the seasonal clearance section

i’m imagining a treasure trove of ssd’s tucked away under some lovely roseart colored markers and a bunch of oddball texas instruments calculators that don’t sell because they’re too advanced for the state’s minimum mandatory hs algebra 1 but not advanced enough for anything far beyond that or “not a TI-84” in other words.

In a decade or two they will scrounge for food in the post apocalyptic wasteland with no background music at all since there’s no internet anymore

meanwhile I’ll be enjoying my 128kbit Napster collection through the warm rich sound of a diesel powered MP3 player
