Yeah, I got junk at work too... just not laptops that old, lol 😂. Rigs? Sure, tons of them, even some PI rigs, still working BTW, lol 😂.

See, this is why BTRFS is a good idea.

I borked one of my installs today by accident. I'm not even sure what happened... I upgraded the kernel, then weird things started happening, then X just froze, I restarted, runit would't even go to phase 3 of the boot process, X couldn't load, just gave a bunch of errors. Oh well, BTRFS to the rescue 😊. This is where things get interesting 😂.

I was on the phone with my wife while I was trying to bring back a snapshot of the volume... have no idea what I did, but I managed to wipe the root subvolume 😂. Not like just empty, but completely gone 🤣. OK 😬. Let's see if the snapshots are still there. Yep, still there. OK, recreated the subvolume and tried to load a snapshot of it, this time, wuthout talking on my phone 😂. Worked like a charm 😊. Restart, sure enough, it loads grub and the OS, everything's back to normal 😊.

Start using filesystems that can make snapshots, like BTRFS or ZFS. Sure, they have a bit of a learning curve, but trust me, it's worth it.

That must've been really really old hardware.

LTS and no tinkering are for production. And yes, they will be stable AF.

Fix one, get 100 for free. Why? Because there was a delicate balance and you ruined it!

And package!

Mine stopped asking me whether I'm hacking or not after I showed her a few images from her phone on my laptop. She doesn't know I copied those when she gave me her phone once.

I think she's kinda afraid of me now...

Not to mention wrapping wifi drivers... 😭

Jesus, people still use ndis-wrapper? 🤨

Void... not my idea though, for the meme I mean, I stole it.

Yeah, it kinda feels that there is more diversity here, but still, I do belive the majority is from the US, so I sometimes cater in my comments to that part of the population, just to cut down on explaining myself afterwards.

I was 19, she was 17.

Still, if he's talking about cases like mine, yes, I can get onboard with that. But with an age gap of 10+ years, no, I really can't.

My mom was almost 20 years younger than my dad m, but she was 27 and he was 46. That may seem weird, but both of them are adults.
