you know, no one wants that. It also doesn't happen.

How do you keep your base and userland separate?

immutable distro + flatpak + distrobox

>>107802456
By not being a retard. You only need a set of around 10 external software or so.

Flatpaks are not actually safe but they are easy for the retards. Microsoft Defender was created for this type of users by the way.

>>107802609
Forgot to add: flatpaks are also the only way for some distros unless you want to compile a web browser from scratch.
In this sense it's okay but shouldn't be the first choice by default. Was always amazed by the contrast of how Arch is getting touted so much but then again some essential software is only available via flatpaks or aur...
Unix has its own security and if that's not enough it is a failed system in the end.

I found an old SD card that I got for my first digital camera. Here it is beside a card that has 512 times the capacity.

It's crazy how far tech has progressed in a few decades.

>>107802550
I think it's more of a situation where it used to be easier to follow the foundational movements, where now days it's all obfuscated behind corporate designed ecosystems.
Or at least I found that was my issue. Been having a damn blast since I went to Arch and finally relive the feeling I had when I used MSDOS.

>>107801230
The times where the 6300 was $89.99 was fucking crazy, 16GB of RAM for like $90 as well, just absolutely insane the decent rigs you could build because it was before all the mining and AI nonsense.

I wanna go back, yeah my current i7 is faster than n FX-8350 and uses 65w, but I have never had as much fun with a computer as I did when that 125w motherfucker, first overclock, my first full graphics core being the 7970, so much fun.

Pic related plus 8gb gskill ripjews was my /hsg/ setup for a couple years when I brought it out of retirement until about a year ago when I stopped playing vidya so I repurposed my gaming pc to my new server and reretired it.

>>107801260
Yeah like in 2015 you got so much out of a PC for so cheap. For less than $500 you could get the following:
CPU: $90 AMD FX-6300
CPU Cooler: $13 Deepcool GAMMAXX 200T (I bought an FX-6300 in 2015 and that stock cooler sounded like a Jet Engine)
MB: $40 Gigabyte GA-76LMT-USB3 AM3+
Ram: $60 16gb (4x4gb) G-Skill Ripjaws 1866mhz DDR3 (shitty MB probably won't let it run at that speed but 1866mhz was cheaper than 1600mhz)
Storage: $35 Adata SP600 64gb SSD + $52 WD Blue 1tb
GPU: $160 PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R9 380 4gb (basically as fast as a 1050ti)
Case: $20 Shitty DIYPC Matx case
PSU: $33 Thermaltake TR2 700W 80 plus bronze

total: $503

>>107801507
honestly those cpus were such a shit value for anything other than rendering/transcoding, an overclocked core 2 quad will out perform them in most games of that era, 2015 was a great time to buy used, lga 1366 / lga 1156 and lga 775 ,phenoms were dirt cheap, and all offered better performance in most cases.

>>107801841
FX CPUs were sick anon, Core 2 CPUs were pretty good for dirt cheap builds, but you were still on an old platform with no USB 3 on the board and dealing with used hardware, FX would get you a new chip, new board etc

I recently figured out a way to make vim work more like ed/ex without going full Ex-Mode and losing the visual mode view with the syntax highlighting.

" Extended Ex-mode
command EEX set cursorline | set insertmode | autocmd InsertEnter * call feedkeys("\<C-o>:")
command Visual set nocursorline | set noinsertmode | autocmd! InsertEnter

All it does is it returns you to the command-line after each command.

It's a bit of a hacky solution since it uses insertmode, but it werks, plus insertmode delays the redraw so you still can see messages in the command-line area which is indispensable.

sorry meant for >>107799958

>>107801643
Not me. As attractive an idea as putting my whole environment into my editor is, Emacs is a terrible implementation. Elisp kind of sucks and the decades of cruft make actually configuring it a nightmare. Plus, there's the 10 million plugins that it comes with out of the box that are all already turned on with awful defaults, so it's not just a matter of building up your config to your liking (already a herculean task due to the reasons stated), but also tearing down the garbage config that it comes with all while fighting against the editor at every turn.

I'd rather deal with vim+terminal and not having everything perfectly integrated than spending 3-5 years in agony sorting out Emacs.

You can also individually address individual ports and pins on a serial port in C using ioctl.h:

You mean without special software? Not sure how a parallel port works, but if there is a bunch of GPIOs in there then you could do any purely digital interface.

Anons, does taking Adderall for interviews actually help?
I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere. You either get reddit moralfags saying you shouldn't do it, or completely anecdotal stories that either say it helped them ace the interview, or it caused them to completely bomb it.

No, what I mean is that it'll work fine, but depending on your computer use it could happen that you run out. May never happen, so no need to worry prematurely.

I like screen. It lets me leave long-running commands going over ssh without worrying about sleeping or rebooting the client machine, and then reattaching to them later. It's absolutely pointless for local terminals though, unless you're using a shit terminal that makes things like copy/paste or tab switching a pain.

Notably I often use screen in Termux on my phone when I'm using a physical keyboard. It doesn't have good keyboard controls for window switching or the ability to tile multiple windows. And copy/paste need a long press and finicky dragging to select, which is annoying when my hands are on the keyboard, so Screen's cut buffer is mostly superior.

Tmux is probably the better option today but I have muscle memory for Screen's shortcuts so I continue to use it.
