It wasn’t my dumb idea.
I will as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
Wasn’t my choice. I was 10.
I use master because I’m nostalgic. If it matters that much, though, I’ll start using trunk (like we used to back in the days of SVN).
Of course it can. Man, technology just keeps getting better and better! /s
Yeah, they’re having some trouble with Pictrs. I’ll relink.
What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.
As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.
Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.
That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)
I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!
There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.
Whoa! Thank you!
Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.
Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:
or
$ doas pkg install <package>
and can be found at FreshPorts.
Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.
Remember to check the documentation!
That be a Conky. I’ll give you a copy of my config in a bit, if you like.
EDIT: Here it is: mocha.conf. If you don’t have the font, JetBrains Mono, installed, you will need to edit the file to reflect this.
What themes/configs are you using?
Honestly, I like Breeze. I just change the colour and it works.
I am also quite a fan of Oxygen and Mint-X; but they look out-of-place on my newer systems, and my older systems have trouble running Plasma.
Good idea!
The link I gave them was for the organisation I moved the serious stuff to. I did this so I could have more basic, novelty, and experimental repos on my Codeberg, as well as so that other people can “join” the organisation to help work on the projects.
I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m pretending I can’t show people this stuff. That’s not at all the case. I am proud of the software I’ve written; I just thought I could organise it better.
Sounds interesting, but maybe a little too advanced for me.
My objectives are education and fun. I enjoy programming, I want to learn more, and I’ve been inspired by Brodie Robertson’s recent video on novelty software as well.
I’m also applying for computer science courses at a few universities at the moment, and I want them to be impressed. Two repos for projects that haven’t been updated since 2022 isn’t the best look.
Good idea, although I think I’d prefer to make a desktop app. I know HTML, but static sites are as far as my web programming goes.
However, with a bit of Python or C and a PGP library, I could probably have a go at making an encrypted P2P chat service.
Interesting. I think an online Markdown editor, maybe with S3 as a storage backend and a button to convert to PDF, could be a useful CRUD webapp. Great idea!
It might be a bit too professional for my personal repos, though. More suited to the organisation I just moved everything to.
