Had to put them on the bed to have supper and… What's this? Whose paw is that? My cats manage to get even the napping wrong — very gifted 😸

Talking to machines and they talk right back to ya
Bloodsucking parasites not like Dracula
Glass full of predators, now you're getting targeted
Soul bargaining, now they're cooking up your spirit
Fuck the recipe, I don't even want to hear it
Hell's kitchen — no angels interfering
Real life chef dice the onion no tears
Slow beyond measure, wise beyond years

TBH I don't know why this guy isn't on Fedi — with all his pop culture and videogame references he'd fit right in 😄

There is a goth looking girl with violet hair, you know like the one on that VA-11 Hall-A game cover, sitting in front of my apartment building waiting for her cab.
She has a Fender combo amp sitting next to her on the bench, a bass one or probably a big guitar one. And I think I've heard some guitar sounds about half an hour ago. But she doesn't have any instrument on her! Looks suspicious! 🤨

RARBG got shut down?! 😲
How am I supposed to "have Netflix at home" now?

@threat Welcome aboard! Glad you like it. Getting Void to run on this machine was fun and it mostly works now. A pity I didn't share my progress more, in fact, last Friday I really wanted to, but that single malt scotch got to me first🥴
Maybe I should do a longer post on it on Gemini (I do have that capsule for a reason, right?) and share a patch set. These netbooks used to have a viable community and it's nice that having only ½G RAM it's capable of running relatively up-to-date s/w

Okay, now it's running Void and Linux kernel 6.3 to boot! Illegal instruction occurred because some packages in Void (surprisingly, including gcc) redefine CFLAGS set in common/cross-profiles, this is why even basic stuff like procps-ng gets built broken with wrong ones.
Now I'm in the process of making a build template for accelerated X server for Tegra: github.com/grate-driver/xf86-v
Cross-building is sure complex, some such packages are marked as nocross in Void. Well, I can always build natively 😁

Whoah, a lightweight 32-bit ARM-compatible distro based on busybox and musl that still supports linux kernels 2.6.x!

Looks like I have something to replace an unsupported Debian Wheezy with on my olde Efika MX 🤩

One of my cats is sitting next to me on the bed attentively looking at the TV screen — there is literally nothing going on there that might be of interest to a cat, it's just 4 terminals open and numbers running — I'm making a backup of another laptop's internal storage to this one. Is it one of those hacker-type cats or a government agent in disguise? 😼

Also, maybe it's a sin to say so on Fedi, I was never a fan of ABe's character design, I have never liked Lain, Haibane Ranmei and Welcome to the NHK. There is nothing particularly bad about it, but I don't get what's to rave about either.

The "everybody dies" ending isn't exactly new or fresh, nor it was when the show came out.
The visuals are impressive for the time, had it been produced later, it could be at least something like Ergo Proxy, which had a rubbish ending too, but is still more fun to watch with all the side stories.

I have finished watching Texhnolyze at last. I think I've tried it over eight times since early 2000s, but was always like: "Why did they chop his limbs off, what's with the girl in fox mask and this shady moustache guy"— the feeling miserable and powerless part is indeed strong, but it doesn't make any sense. Yet, it's what this show is all about and it's very unclimactic: those who weren't aggressive just died in boredom, and those who were — just killed each other.

systemd and other useless background shit is eating up all its RAM, I think it wouldn't even be able to run st without swapping.
Problem is, Tegra2 which this fine device is based on doesn't have Neon and has a limited subset VFPv3 with only 16 registers, generic Void rootfs fails to be chrooted into with invalid instruction, I've built my own rootfs from the ground up that works, but some things still look suspicious, e.g. ping still gives me invalid instruction after I break (^C) it 🤔

Another fine scrapyard (that is my home) find!
One of the pioneering ARM-based netbooks — half a gigabyte RAM is very limiting by today's standards, but with TUI software it should be enough, mine even has a built-in 3G modem (and I still have my unlimited, albeit slow, data plan SIM-card somewhere) and its battery is still at 60% of original capacity. It currently runs Ubuntu 20.13 Claustrophobic Centipede (or something 🤪), but needs Void BADLY!

I knew it would eventually come to this. I'm out of fruit flavoured teas and I'm still two days away from being able to replenish my supplies at a discount. However I still have some pu'er tea left so I can mix it with something fruity, problem being — the most "fruity"-flavoured thing I have is lemongrass. So be it, behold the most cursed tea mix ever created!
I'm not wondering is it any good, I'm wondering how good it is!
Still have to wait for it to brew…

I think that's an appropriate reaction to the thread you have linked to :marseylaughwith:
No, don't get me wrong, it's mostly neutral, except for a few parts that made me suspicious, like this here:
> given the experience of Yugoslavia and Iraq, could lead to an outbreak of cancer in the medium term
There is no given experience of Yugoslavia — connection of use of depleted uranium munitions to increase in amount cancer cases was never an undisputed fact, look here:
https://www.rferl.org/a/moscow-serbian-media-appear-mislead-claims-cancer-fight-nato-bombings-/30320663.html
Of course you might not consider Radio Liberty a trustworthy source a it might be biased, but they cite a lot of sources, including Serbian politician who claimed that there is such connection, but never presented any proof. They also refer to Serbian medical institutions that claim there is no such connections and even that there was no growth in cancer cases.
Back to depleted uranium shells themselves, take a look at what those are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium
Uranium isn't used in some powdered form so it could contaminate the air, it's very dense and that is precisely why it's used for penetrator part of an armor piercing round — it's the sturdiest part, I can't imagine how, even if it gets split by an adjacent explosion, can make it into someone's body kilometers away from explosion.
One more thing worth noting, take a look at the date that article on Radio Liberty's website was published — it's 2019, long before it had anything with Ukraine, Russia was always trying to give the depleted uranium scare a proper spin to use it against NATO. And now Russia is a side of the conflict — that's no proof of course, but whole thing could be a part of psyop.
Radiation spikes still look scary, but there are things to consider other than DU shells — there is Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant not far from there, right in the zone of armed conflict.
