It was wild seeing fair-use Mickey Mouse in a divorce lawyer’s commercial.

To me, yellowed plastic is a badge of honor. Old age comes for us all.

I just hit the same issue a few days ago. So Debian 12 (Bookworm) still has i386 support, but that support may end as soon as next year as they haven’t confirmed i386 as an architecture for LTS.

If you do go with Debian, you can easily choose a lightweight desktop during installation.

I’m really curious if it’ll stick around even longer given how slow tech advancement has become.

One of my favorite remotes had the sources split across the top. Composite, Component, VGA, HDMI. And if you hit the button twice it’d cycle through the different ports of that type.

Never found a remote like that again. Now they just throw a menu to slowly browse through.

Reminds me of:

I saw these guys at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I played the demo a tiny bit, and while it was interesting in a way… it felt a bit too early to be showing to people. Maybe it was the 3D printed stuff that made it amateurish.

That said, if I am recalling correctly, the was open-source (oh I found the site and it is) so maybe that whole booth was to demonstrate how someone could build their own unit.

I mean, we have Evercade and it’s not failed yet.

28 years and there is still nothing close to it. Either they focus too much on flight like Zone of Enders and Daemon X Machina, or they ground it too hard like Front Mission Evolved. No happy middleground.

I really thought with the success of Fires of Rubicon that we’d get a decent attempt at a clone.

I tried XFCE for some older hardware and had the same experience.

I poked around at stuff like fluxbox and found it too minimal. So I ended up using LXDE instead and got better results, but that was before it transitioned to LXQt. I have no idea if it’s still as lightweight as it used to be. Someone else might have to chime in.

My 10.11 migration blew up because one of my directories didn’t have enough space for the migration.

The path /var/lib/jellyfin/data has insufficient free space. Required: at least 2GB.

It looked like the jellyfin service started after the package install, but it was stuck in a loop attempting migration.

which is funny because firmware is a legacy term for what evolved into what is honestly software.

You don’t need to socket any new chips nowadays.

I wonder if Windows Defender is parsing the hosts file and flagging specific entries. Perhaps your program knows what is flagged through trial & error, while I did more of an aggressive blanket approach.

It’s the only thing I can think of.

Windows Defender will pick up any alterations to hosts file and revert it back to default. You have to whitelist the file before setting up any changes.

I know you are asking for FOSS alternatives, but for those who are looking to just restore the old programs:

Burned optical media shelf life can be as little as 5 years, so I don’t think it should be recommended for long-term storage.

Don’t want to ruin the fun but he missed an apostrophe in the sentence. His stuff is in the back of the garage. “mine’s at the back of the garage”

Easily defeated by those who play Minesweeper.
