I just wish it was the original artist who got a job as a security guard just for this

Don't be confused by cached ram, be confused by the oom killer activating while you have plenty of swap and for some reason it kills the shell you ran Firefox from.

If you want to go on a memory allocation adventure try disabling memory overcommit 🥲

Well one day I heard about NixOS... And that's all it took

Bruh you still gotta publish that unsupported hypothesis

Have we reached... Gnome alone?

... And the rest?

... From cedra????

Less, then "vim -" after I realize I don't know how to use less.

That's the most difficult problem in hobby programming: finding a project. Most interesting things seem to complex to start.

The solution is to say f it I'm going to try. Right now I'm very slowly making progress learning Rust by writing a program to trade cryptocurrency. It took a while for me to even take my goals seriously as something I am capable of. It's half gambling and half skills development but 100% interesting enough that I have consistently come back to it. I've come to terms with the fact that the only money it will make me is if I get a better job by becoming a rust developer.

The Linux side of programming only really comes into play when you want to do networking, drivers, or esoteric filesystem intensive stuff. Windows and MacOS are capable of basically the same things. The main benefit of using Linux for development is that most open source projects are built by developers for development on Linux based systems, so getting dependencies has an easy one line command someone already figured out. For your situation I suspect the most important thing is how cool it feels when you use it. There's something about setting up an operating system the way you want that keeps me coming back for more.

If you ever need a reeally stupid way to sanitize deleted data without special privileges, just fill the disk up with some files then delete them. On Linux this is easy with cat and /dev/zero or urandom. Can't be sure it gets everything but it's better than doing nothing.

People are worried about losing skills to AI while all the skills have already been lost to Google and stack exchange 😅

🤣 same

To try and contribute! :P gotta start somewhere

Lol reading the source has trained me to try reading the documentation.

If it's good, it'll save hours or crawling through code.

has, they still work great and keep me sane

MSYS2 is my current choice for GNU/Windows

I think that's what he and those games are going for

Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

I am legit excited to install WINE Subsystem for Linux

Or how about KDE on ReactOS on WSL?

The possibilities are endless

Something something they do sometimes

The best os

Pretty sus :P

I would start by removing the graphics card if you have integrated graphics available (or disable the PCI port in your bios)

This reminds me of the kinds of issues I would get when setting up overclocking and getting just past the limit of stable operation. If you have overclocking set up definitely try disabling it.

If removing the GPU does nothing don't forget to check removing each ram stick separately, or make sure your bios runs a full memory check.
