linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Monday, 20-Nov-2023 02:55:02 JST linear cannon i love how running firefox on an aging dual-core system with a spinning-rust hard drive guarantees that my load average will never be below 2.0 and usually hovers around 5.
i love how it does not take advantage of my gpu for rendering, at all, because my gpu is "too old", even though it could do 99% of the rendering tasks just fine -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Saturday, 18-Nov-2023 02:47:06 JST linear cannon a really tiny hard drive, for a really tiny NetWare server
even if you know how small a CompactFlash card is, it's still hard to get across in a photo just exactly how tiny these things are -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Friday, 17-Nov-2023 02:32:46 JST linear cannon @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me eh, maybe
that policy caused some interesting side effects when higher ups have gotten overconfident in their english skills, though. like accidentally creating a requirement that all remote workers be able to run microsoft visio, rather than a requirement that they all be capable of videoconferencing. which is a bit of an issue when most remote workers run linux -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Friday, 17-Nov-2023 02:28:42 JST linear cannon i should adjust my life to put more french language in it so i can get better at it. maybe i should follow more french-speaking folk here
i used to get a bit of practice at work, given that it's a french company and many of my coworkers are french, but then they started doing a "english-only in the workplace" thing -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Wednesday, 15-Nov-2023 03:43:02 JST linear cannon i have finally managed to get a netware server actually running
i have also now learned that i probably couldve gotten it working on the 486 router sbc i originally wanted to use, if i'd bothered to RTFM ahead of time (but tbf its easier to RTFM if you have a working netware server with the online docs installed)
might still install it on there, but im having trouble finding the correct driver for the onboard network devices. if anyone knows where i can find a complete MacPHYTER II driver disk image (or just the files 'c83815.lan' and 'c83815.ldi') please do tell
i can get around this by installing a pci network card but thats kind of silly -

i'm an embedded linux developer. i have been an embedded linux developer for roughly 8 years. i am not sure how i have managed to avoid having to do this until now, and my first reason to do it ends up not even being work-related -
