  • Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.

    I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.

    This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.





  • I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.

    My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.










  • I have a pi with a hifi berry hooked up to my stereo. It runs mpd and mounts my music over nfs from my server.

    I have a few ways to play music:

    1. I have an RFID reader and have a bunch of RFID cards with artwork printed on them. Tapping the reader causes that album to play
    2. I also wrote a simple web server in elixir + live phoenix so I can select and control stuff using a tablet or phone.

    The wife and kids love the RFID cards.
