Cake day: June 12th, 2024

  • I cut my teeth with DOS and Netware, used Windows until the day 98 was released (had been using the GM for a month), and cut over to Slackware as my daily driver. Dabbled with Redhat before stabilising on Debian, which I’ve never found a need to change from for my headless boxes.

    One thing I specifically remember was hand tuning my X11 config to drive my 15” Trinitron at 1024x768 @ ~68Hz.



  • On 2024-11-05, of the eligible voting population in the US, roughly:

    • ⅓ voted for Trump.
    • ⅓ voted for someone other than Trump.
    • ⅓ didn’t vote.

    As far as I’m concerned, if you’re eligible to vote and choose not to, you’re implicitly throwing your support behind whoever wins.

    ⅔ of the eligible US voting population to some degree support, and are responsible for, everything that is happening in their federal government now.

    The rest of the world interpreted it as the US saying it doesn’t wish to be taken seriously for at least the next 2 years. We can resume discussion when they decide to choose adults to represent them again.
