If I ever managed to find a #decstation 3100 from 1989, what'd be the overall likelihood that I could get modern #linux of some kind running on what was at one point the world's fastest MIPS-powered #unix workstation (for all of a few months iirc)? Because I […]

Lately I've had a curious interest in the W WIndow System ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_Window_System ) which predated the X Window System.
Sadly it doesn't appear to be archived online. One can only hope, because I'd love to imagine that someone would be crazy enough to get it going on a […]

I was just thinking. If there's anything good to take from the existence of XLibre, it's that it's keeping the fascists in one place and has allowed for X.Org to have a big influx in proper development.
I hope to see X.Org outlive XLibre and still be useful for those who need it well into the […]

Today I learned Boston has an independent hockey team called Team Trans. As the name implies, all the players in the team identify as trans and/or non-binary.

If only all the world's geopolitical conflicts were settled in dance-offs rather than warfare, because even if all sides are biased towards their own dancing leading to an impasse, at least if nothing else it'd be fun for aliens to watch from another galaxy.

Because it's the holidays, every Christian I know loves talking about Jesus and his miracles, but nobody has ever thought to bring up one of his biggest yet most subtle miracles, that being his completely unrelatable ability to have 12 (!!!) close friends even in his 30s.

Fun fact - you can copy and paste the redacted text of the Epstein files into LibreOffice Writer and see all the juicy deets unredacted because the DOJ apparently only used black highlighting.

If you haven't followed my timeline, I picked up an original #bananapi BPi-M1 from 2013 with the intent to install #slackwarearm on it. That was a few months ago, and I still haven't had success. I think the problem stems from the SATA cable I bought. Upon whipping it out (my multimeter, not my […]

If it weren't highly illegal, I'd train a conspiracy of ravens to do my bidding, or if that failed, import a parliament of rooks from Europe, but that'd probably be even more illegal. I can't help it corvids are cool as fuck

Falkon - KDE's own browser, built on QtWebEngine, lightweight and secure, though lacking in the extensions department
