Funny thing is, Debian was the distro with which I have experienced the "joy" of systemd first 😅Earlier releases didn't have it (as it didn't exist yet) and I was like: "Okay, they have something like launchd now, things are always changing" 🤷 I've been familiar with launchd as Macs were what's I've been using at the time. But when machine couldn't boot with system clock set wrong, I went online and found out what people have been talking about.

I still have RedHat 3 CD a friend of mine gave me in the late 90-ies: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108564028487859961
I later upgraded it to 6.2 that came with some book — actually I could've got a book that came with Slackware instead… I didn't know what Slackware was at the time, RedHat was what I was familiar with. Now that I look back on it, I think it was a mistake 😅
6.2 wasn't bad though, it's 7.0 when it stared going downhill.

But I don't hate Lennart as much as people usually do, he didn't ruin anything for me, I haven't been using Linux-based systems while that had happened. On the other hand, had it been not for Void, free from all the newest bullshit, I might have never got back into using them 😅

@yukiame
For me it's not the boot time, but rather the fact that something is always happening in the background. With Void I can have lots of things running, but when the system should be idle — it's indeed idle, like 98,9% idle. And the laptop is cold as ice. With systemd something's always happening and the laptop runs hot.

Ну в принципе, нормальное решение для того, чтобы не делать ливневку — скрепное, я бы сказал 😄

@mirabilos This is how I got around bad keyboards in newer laptops — I've been using external peripherals, this way you can enjoy a mechanical keyboard and a good display, but you can still take the computer on the road. Too bad, they don't make laptops with docking capabilities anymore, but they have Thunderbolt now, basically gives access to PCI bus so you can connect any device with it. Now it's power and one other cable — worse than proper dock, but not too bad.

@mirabilos Setups I use range from dual Xeon workstation with two 30" displays to tiny 10" ARM-based netbook and I somehow adapt to all of them — of course not every system is suitable for every task. For musical notation, like you said, vertical space is more important — I'd probably use an external display in vertical orientation in this case — too bad modern ones are too big and often have uneven backlighting, they used to make them rotatable on stands — those were perfect!

@mirabilos
Are you the one behind mksh by any chance? If so, thanks for it — that's the shell I use almost universally. Once I discovered it, probably through Suckless project recommendation, I use in on nearly all of my machines. I've never even thought how much in bash I do not use, Korn-shell derivative is perfect for me.

And if you like cats, here are mine. They don't have tails — a breed thing, but otherwise are very sweet creatures, just like all cats 😸

@mirabilos PowerBook and early MacBook Pro era keyboards have been good, next to or probably even on par with those of Thinkpads', but then Apple has replaced them with keyboards similar to those in their cheaper models — who knows why. And now every laptop has something like it.
As for aspect ratio — I've thought I'll never get used to it, but I did. Wider screen might even make sense with something like dwm with main window having more or less 4:3 aspect and everything else stacked on the side

@mirabilos Most of my daily drivers are a decade or more old, but not that old 😅
I could probably live with C2D too as I bare use all that computing power — except for when building something.

@neural_meduza
Ну даже не знаю что сказать… 😩

@mirabilos This reminds me that a pal of mine wanted to give me his old X61 that he didn't use before he left the country to work abroad. Maybe he has left it to someone so I can still pick it up… 🤔
It's an amazing machine, Core 2 Duo is a perfectly capable CPU for some tasks — even by today's standards 😄

@rvps2001
Good thing that Byelorussians have a government in exile and Tikhanovskaya works on a temporary solution, so those who don't feel it's safe to return, don't have to do it. Maybe some will be allowed to seek political asylum on these grounds.
For Russians fleeing for political reasons it's usually even worse — they don't have anyone to represent them and EU is not eager to step in, even applying for asylum is a gamble.

@meduza_en
Peskov said that as Russia’s “growing market becomes increasingly attractive amid the negative economic trends in many of the countries these people moved to” 🤣

@mirabilos
I'm surprised by how long the original ones last TBH — I only replace mine once in a decade or so 😆
Despite having lots of spares.
Thinkpads aren't my daily drivers anymore, I have at T40 and a T43 — their specs align badly with nowaday's requirements, but even when they were, these caps didn't wear down fast.
