This is one of the bands that I enjoy immensely for the past 2-3 years: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/elephant-tree
They have lots of classic heavier rock vibes, but sound modern at the same time.

Again, probably no the stuff "proper" metalhead would enjoy, but these guys are cool too: https://re-stoned.bandcamp.com/album/orange-session
I've had a couple of records of theirs, but I was still very much surprised to learn that they are in fact a Russian band — I have to see them live, I think they are amazing!

@admitsWrongIfProven
From that era, some Judas Priest maybe… I do like early Tiamat, I like heavier prog stuff: third incarnation of King Crimson (circa 2000s), Tool and all that, I do like stoner, sludge… Neurosis — again, that would be post- probably.
But I won't call myself a metalhead per se, I like some heavier stuff in my "diet", but I like it diverse — not limiting myself to it.

I'm not such a hardcore snow fan, but I'm even less of a fan of when it's there and in a few hours it's no longer there. The snow has to act more decisively instead of this on-again off-again shit 😅

@admitsWrongIfProven
Apart from the inconsistent sleep schedule… Not bad!
I still hope that the snow will settle in in a few days — this will make me, a Winter person, feel better 😁

@yurnidiot
It's 1994 and you have a CD drive?! Not biblically accurate! 🤓
That installer even has percentage per disk and total — it was supposed to come on floppies!

Okay, I'm nitpicking 😩

@admitsWrongIfProven
Nothing's new under the sun!

@admitsWrongIfProven
Gang of Four? 🤔
Ehm… No, that's post-punk…

I can't imagine it being the case with desktop, but if it's a PCI-e mini-card — replace it with something properly supported by the kernel, if not — get a compatible USB dongle. That MediaTek chip in Linux is to be avoided at all costs! 😅

@munir
I assure you, nothing of value was lost — I had this MediaTek adapter in my old HP laptop, I had to rely on dkms to use a newer patched module not in the mainline kernel for it to work — and even with that it remained very flaky. I've replaced it with Intel one — 7260 I think. It came with Intel Bluetooth adapter, which also works way better than MediaTek one ever did, supports wireless AC and 5 GHz networks.

I'm not a native speaker, but I think rabbits work in English too, at least there is an eponymous song by Unkle featuring Thom Yorke on vocals that was pretty popular back in its day:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEqGdGAgAjw

But otherwise mature democratic institutions aren't so easy to dismantle given limited time — losing presidential election is no reason to despair and quit, I have faith in American society — so should you!

@catsrule0000
I can totally see where this is coming from, but don't be so pessimistic — people fall for populism everywhere, but in Russia — way more than in countries with mature democracies. People here fall easily for the promise of "benevolent dictatorship" we simply never had democratic traditions — in the US there would be long-term consequences, e.g. Supreme Court appointee of Trump won't magically disappear when he leaves the office…

@ozzelot
This is WD Scorpio Blue by the way, WD3200BEVE-00A0HT0 to be precise — lasted over a decade in a machine that's on nearly 24/7, even transmission-daemon reports 2103 days of uptime and I'm pretty sure I had to reset that counter at some point.
Can definitely recommend!

@ozzelot
I wasn't exactly rich myself — fresh out of uni, I think this was my first "real" job, outside of uni and myriad of odd sidejobs before that 🤔
But as they were already being phased out in favour of SATA drives I could foresee that they would become more rare and probably more expensive.
I have to admit that this hard drive turned out very resilient — my Mini wasn't always resting on top of the cabinet like it does today and has seen the world well outside my place — it lives on!

Hardly possible!

@p
Sure did! It was more of a rhetorical question though 😅
Anthropomorphisation of FBI as a cute girl makes what they do more… acceptable.

I'm mildly interested in how exactly are they lying about being FOSS? 🤔

@delta

@glennsills @lowqualityfacts
On the other hand, they might be just hiding it from us with CGI 🤓

@ozzelot
Yeah, I got it in the late 2000s when they were still more or less current. Nowadays they are nearly impossible to find — even the used ones.
