>>107838364But if you go in fresh it doesn't assault you with garbage. And even after use it will still (mostly) pull from a recommendation algorithm that it thinks will keep you watching. If you don't click on crap it's a lot less likely to show you crap. Though how long that lasts is another question.
I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.

>>107838501>Bit much of a luddite wouldn't you say?Nah.>You must be a dinosaur if you want to play Rollercoaster Tycoon to recreate the good ol' days, uncI, uh... Yes.
>>107838452you could boot into an ms-dos environment too using a boot disk then use clonezilla by launching it from a disc if there is a setup script that will execute from that shell provided by booting from floppy. since the computer doesn't boot from CD, there's things like IDE to USB converters which can be used to plug the win98 drive into the other computer.
>>107838240Floppy? https://github.com/w84death/floppinuxMost likely you're just best off removing the drive and using ddrescue or sth on a modern computer.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.

Just automatically use one of the other hundred mirrors instead if the main one is down you dumb piece of shit

>>107838278Don't use mirrors it will default and you'll get the fastest experience.Mirrors are for fags.
>>107838895no its actually the correct way to maintain a system but you roomtemp IQ fags wouldnt know anything about that.
>>107838419There's nothing inherently "minimalist" about Arch. You're simply expected to know how to configure your system. Nothing "should" be installed by default except what's required to boot the system. That isn't "minimalism," it's giving you control of your system, which is the entire point. You're free to make your Arch install as light or heavy as you wish. If you want automatic mirror selection, you install it. If you don't, you don't. It's not a complex concept.

What was the most disturbing thing you've found on the dark web?
>>107820330If it was only those with terminal diseases (like they promised when they started the program) then why do they keep expanding the scope of the program? They now consider you eligible if you have fatal diseases such as "depression", or if you're on any government assistance program. They've also expanded age eligibility all the way up to 'emancipated minors'. It's not about letting those dying of bone cancer go out peacefully on their own terms. It's about making people depressed, unable to find a job or a significant other or any hope, and then telling them this is the only way out.Multiple times the program has been publicly blasted for unsolicitedly offering government-assisted suicide over any other forms of assistance - one was a disabled military veteran looking for assistance with installing a lift chair to the second story of their home, another was an older woman in good health but on rent assistance and the place she was living in was full of mold. For both people, when they called in to talk to someone who was supposed to help, they were transferred to a doctor who encouraged them to use the government assisted suicide program.

>>107836442I unironically understand your sense of loss, you're not crazy. But you should reimagine it. Instead, think of it as your old pal in a set of new clothes. He's still your same old companion. Your KITT just got an upgrade, be happy for his sake. Rekindle the friendship.
>>107836442Once you have it all, you have nothing, back when I was a kid I used to be obsessed with computers and upgrading from one shitty GPU to another shitty GPU felt massive and adding more ram unlocked new possibilities, now that I have a pretty beefy PC, I don't feel like upgrading because it runs everything I want, I literally don't care about new hardware because it doesn't offer me anything, modern games are all shitty slop not worth playing, modern windows is a bloated clusterfuck made by jeets and modern hardware is a joke, an expensive joke thanks to AI, crypto and manchildren
>>107837899I got really into overclocking when I was a teenager because of this, I couldn't afford to upgrade so had to squeeze every last drop of performance out of what I had. Now I can just buy the fastest thing possible without really worrying which just results in the computing equivalent of anhedonia.

>>107806541I prefer cursor-agent. If I'm going to pay a monthly fee for AI, I'd rather have access to basically every LLM there is for a single price, as some stuff Claude is really good at, some stuff ChatGPT is really good at, some stuff Gemini is good at. I am a MUD developer, been working on the same game for nearly 15 years despite the fact that the genre has died off. It's my tism. What I like most about cli ai - especially cursor-agent - is that I can scp the binary to my MUD shell hosting account and have the AI work on code directly on the host rather than making the changes locally, compiling, starting the server, testing the changes, then syncing the new code with the host, compiling it there, and restarting the server. It's far better to make the changes on the server, compile, spin up a second copy of the server, test the changes, if they're good then I 'accept all' in cursor-agent and reload the binary of the main MUD server and shutdown the test port. If the changes break something important, I hit 'discard all changes' in cursor-agent and my code goes back to exactly how it was. I don't think I've written a single line of actual code in two months now that I've got cursor dialed in with prompts to the point where it's writing code almost identical to how I would so I'm at the point now where I just say "add <feature> ... This is what it'll do. Document it in a help file for the players when you're finished."
Thanks to gemini I was able to run 2D Fighter maker sucessfully on modern ubuntu.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Q3WJxYe2wamrWW1R_kqVSslT9Zkbf_RCtgn0mok7AI/edit?usp=sharingThis solves a basically 15+ year issue with the engine, that nobody had figured out how to run in linux.Thanks to gemini I was able to troubleshoot the issue.:D

>>107838840Really? The the solution for the crazy 15+ year issue is just "install essential components"? No one needs AI to figure that out...
>>107839037there's no guide you can find on how to run it.
how true is this
>>107838739That's a fair answer I suppose, but Claude is legally blind and has no visual memory. Gemini has beaten Pokémon by using a scaffolding that keeps track of the locations it has seen.>>107838740>apple published a paper a while ago that showed these models are insanely brittleThat paper was debunked. Some of the questions they asked the models were provably impossible.https://arxiv.org/html/2506.09250v1It's hyperbolizing, but not by much, to say that human brains are huge lossy/stochastic compression systems.
>>107824879They're trying to phase out personal computing to force everyone onto the cloud.
>>107838805You sound mad friend. And you didn't really answer their question at all.
>>107838694>There's obviously infinite more possibility that this produces something, than not doing it at all.Is that "something" worth all the investment?The biggest issue I have with AI is that it's expenses are increasingly running away from the revenue being brought in.Just for AI companies to break even on current and future investments requires the most optimistic outcome.This isn't just a few million to keep the lights on at a food delivery startup while they gather a base. This is billions and billions, economy disrupting billions.All this shit needs to be clawed back at some point and I doubt the VC money can flow in forever.Even now I'm only convinced nothing has happened yet because too many will be hurt when/if it does fail
>>107838996It's smoke and mirrors and everybody with two brain cells knows it is, but there's nothing else holding the states together. Look behind the curtain and multiple industries are in free fall. Big companies are running out of their pre-tariff back stock and are just coasting until midterms. If the tariffs are upheld buckle up.
