I had Slackware running on a couple of 386 machines with 200MB hard disks. It was impossible to do almost anything as it was all compile from source but I didn’t have the disk space to install all the compiler tools and what I was trying to run on them. I was originally going to use them as part of a distributed system for my degree, but in the end I didn’t use them and did something different instead.

I used CentOS at work a lot for several years and liked it, but only fully switched form Windows at home 10 years ago and I went to Ubuntu at the time. Installed KDE on it, messed around with i3 and had a great time. I then went hopping and landed on Endeavour OS which I’ve been really enjoying for many years now and have no intention of moving from. All my servers still run Ubuntu LTS Server as it has been unbelievably solid.

1950 is around the birth of rock and roll, which seems a long tine ago to me. Seems crazy that my kids might see 2100 though

Personally, 6 months. Sounded great on paper and even today it sounds great, but I really didn’t like it. Now I’m somewhere that sounds rubbish on paper and in many ways is, but I’m pretty happy.

Quickest I ever saw was when I did a 2 week school placement in an IT support company. The whole company was like 4 people including me. Back in the late 90’s it was all reinstalling Windows, ISDN lines, that sort of basic IT provided in to companies. They hired a new guy and sent him off to install a couple of Windows PCs for some company. The next day he left as he was out of his depth.

I’ve got a great Plexi sound from my Helix and Les Paul for playing Led Zeppelin numbers.

Sounds like something written at the likes of Manjaro which differ enough from plain Arch for it to be problematic.

To be honest, with EOS the point is moot - they have their own excellent forums and if you do insist on going to the Arch forums, just say you’re using Arch.

Jist install EndeavourOS. You’ll get the wallpaper and the best distro to boot.

It does not

Can confirm EOS works beautifully with Steam and has done for all the years I’ve used it.

Was given leniency as it was the first lap. The penalties are a nonsense though. If anything, being so early in the race and there being no time limit when to take the penalty means the 5s is much much lighter than 10s in the middle of the race and pitstops. I would rather see consistent 5s penalties and they have 3 laps to take it in. So you can’t do a lunge, ignore the track limits and scamper off in clean air for 25 laps, which is what Max clearly wanted to do and almost managed it. That would have been a tragedy of the stewarding if it had happened that way.

The pros are that it’s hip and trendy and almost complete (and has been for the past 15 years).

The cons are it doesn’t work & has insane failure modes that maximise downtime.

Yes. Small socks.

Up there with your retirement planning being to win the lottery.

Found the medium fake boob enjoyer.

For a supposedly intelligent bunch F1 is constantly face planting itself from unintended consequences.

If, instead, you like lists of designer clothes, sound systems and skincare regimes, then I highly recommend American Psycho. Genuinely, I loved it.

Him & Her

There is precisely zero cross over to real world road cars with the current engines and also for the '26 engines. If you are driving on roads such that energy recovery can be useful then you’re driving dangerously. These engines are only applicable to race cars. Audi insisting on the engine regs to make them road relevant is utter BS. They are never going to release an A3 with such an engine.

I’d love a return to V10’s because they are fun, powerful and light. Reduce the size of the cars whilst we’re at it -current cars look like saloon cars next to cars of the past and it’s hindering racing.

Watched the second half of Kingdom of Heaven that I started about 6 months ago. The extended directors edition pushes of over 3 hours and I don’t have time for that in a single day.

Got through half of Black Hawk Down. One of my favourite films that I haven’t seen in years.

100% agree. JC3 is a gem of a game
