@atlas_core@pl.starnix.network FreeBSD or OpenBSD, IMHO.

The problem is that you should expect it to be rougher around the edges than Linux, and some stuff might not work.

@YTFoidLover1488@poa.st @atlas_core@pl.starnix.network NetBSD is a meme, especially if you run the non-x86 ports because there are some ports that just don't work, have bitrotted code or other issues, and everything is cross compiled.

One example of this is the PReP port of NetBSD (for 90s IBM PowerPC desktops). For a while, the installer script has been generating floppies far too big for 1.44mb, and the last version with disk images of a proper size was made in 2002! Furthermore the main limiting factor for a netboot is 2mb, meaning that you can't even netboot the machine with the latest kernel.

In 2021 this was finally noticed at least and someone made a mailing list post about it and nothing has been done.

Apparently the VAX port as well has issues and someone made a YT video on it.

@YTFoidLover1488@poa.st @atlas_core@pl.starnix.network It was supposed to mean PowerPC Reference Platform, and was designed far before the drugs came out.

The idea was to make a PC but with a PowerPC CPU in it, and it failed because only IBM/Moto built hardware with it and Apple rejected it. CHRP was the successor (and what modern PPC hardware is based on, to some extent with hypervisors and all leading to PowerNV coming out as yet another PPC standard for Linux only boxes).

Yet CHRP was only used by IBM, because Apple also stonewalled the release of machines adherent to it until Steve Jobs came back, PPC Macs had their own weird Open Firmware implementation, and when IBM made the latest OpenPOWER push they chose to create yet another standard that was "bare metal" and not hypervisored like IBM hardware and the Xbox 360/PS3 are, hence PowerNV.

please for the love of god archive every piece of art you run across online that you like so it's not stuck in the back memories of your head, internet artists are less mentally stable than a gambling addict on twitch doing lines daily and will delete everything when they wake up in a bad mood one day.

@kirby@lab.nyanide.com This is also why something like Bluesky has failed to take off, the creators wanted too much control.

The only control in the fedi comes from many users unfortunately being stuck on Mastodon.social and not knowing anything better, or that an entire world exists outside of one instance. I can understand why DRC gets blocked, but with many instances the users aren't always deciding "hey we should pick fights with other instances on a weekend or bad day at work".

Furry drama: having your finger bit off, playing soggy biscuit with pizza, something drugs and sex
Ham drama: some retard with a baofeng spamming a siren noise and OMG OMG OMG THERES A IDEN BASE STATION FOR SALE OMFG

@kirby@lab.nyanide.com (by context when I mean poor people, I mean literally living in a trailer park poor. At one time in the past I even got given free P4 desktops without asking, and I need a dual Xeon P4 workstation so badly for autism reasons)

@kirby@lab.nyanide.com go to an ewaste place or ebay or get a used business desktop, the choice of poor people online for 2 decades now

@kirby@lab.nyanide.com i literally bought pawslut party for an experimental tumblr clone site instance this is either the worst shit I'm doing or the best

life goals

the proto snes is at a million yen now oh no

@lina@eientei.org there was an insane story to how the Nintendo Playstation survived

@lina@eientei.org i am genuinely even more curious how it was found now. YAJ old storage unit/estate sale (do they exist in Japan) flipper? Someone working at Nintendo? Who knows.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
A PROTOTYPE SUPER FAMICOM IS ON YAJ AND IS ALREADY AT 1k ON BIDS WITH 6 DAYS LEFT GET READY FOR THE MOST INTENSE BID WAR ON YAJ IN A WHILE

@allison@hidamari.apartments @mint@ryona.agency yeah optical keyboards are $$$ but I'd imagine they feel nice and clicky.

What's a good affordable optical keyboard? That'd be hilarious to use on a PC98 tbh.

@allison@hidamari.apartments @mint@ryona.agency yeah I'm tempted to get a USB/PS/2 KB adapter for using better boards on my PC-98s with a sane arrow key layout.

I'd love to play PC-98 games with a nice mechanical board, or MX Black or green board. I like my outemu teal board, but I feel one day I'm gonna wear the switches out (but at least this ones socketed).
