Samsung excavator = Volvo excavator. Samsung is just relabeling the Volvos.

If you eat enough you will eventually develop gold plated poo 4-12 hours later, and I think that is something!

I met my future wife in irc in 1994. In 1996 she moved from where she was to my state, and then in 2000 we got married, and have been ever since. The Internet was way different back then. I tell that to anyone using one of the current/past crop of dating apps.

You can't do this on Linux anymore either. Unless you are on a way out of date system, you need to add the --no-preserce-root flag as well. And I think it still prompts you to make sure it is really want you want to do.

I mean, there is nothing stopping you from installing whatever version of the library that is required in tandem with the latest version. You could even put it somewhere other then a standard library location and start executing your binary with
LD=/my/old/library ./myoodbinary
and have it dynamically loaded at runtime.
The only time this doesn't work is when it is something in the kernel that breaks the binary... But you can run an older kernel that has back ported fixed.
I get where you are coming from with proprietary binarys that the devs have abandon. But to me that makes all the more reason not to run that software in the first place.
Edit: also the kobo desktop Windows app runs under wine I think...

Define old binary. The a.out and elf format haven't changed in a very long time. If you mean something from an old system with unmet dependencies, it will run, but it will crash and warn you that some library isn't found. It will still run up until that point tho.

Not music persay but I have been listening to a lot of the "salute the sample" segments by ll cool j on YouTube. Its a pretty cool dive into the samples that drive hip-hop.

One of my friends recently got scammed online. He should have known better. But when he got the ticket and the number on it was 123 456 789 10 11 12, I had to tell him that was the same as the combination on my luggage
My mother introduced me to the chieftains. This is the song I always think of when I hear Sinéad O'Connor mentioned. Her voice is just so pure and cutting... What is there not to love?

One of the best I have ever played which falls into adventure, puzzle, RPG, strategy , and open world is probably star control 2, the urquan masters. It has an amazingly well crafted story, the music is great, and a bunch of different aspects to the game play. This still is one of my favorite games of all time

Well, I picked this up on a whim when I visited the package store. It's hard to describe but if I were blindfolded I would think I was drinking a 15 year old scotch. No rye spice that I can detect, but definitely smokey/peaty. 109 proof but you can hardly feel that... I personally am not a fan... I'm not going to throw it away but I certainly don't look forward to a glass. The funny thing is when I shared some to a friend who drinks nothing but scotch and he didn't like it either... Thought it was too bourbony. Which is pretty bizarre from my view point. Anyway, I give it. A 2/10... I will not be looking for another bottle Edit: well there are a ton of positive reviews out there so maybe it is just the batch I got? My bottle is a lot darker then most other reviews .. maybe I'll have to find a different batch.

Afaik your not stuck with bash. You can use the shebang to decide on your script interpreter. Bash is just ubiquitous... But you can #!/use/bin/python3 if you want

Garuda is beautiful. It is arch based using the original arch repos. It uses btrfs with automated snapshots which is pretty handy. It runs awesome on my two laptops.

First log out of lemmy.world. it's called remove account....kind of scary but it won't hurt. Turn close liftoff and go to system settings -> apps. Find liftoff and select storage and cache. In that menu select clear cache. Close the settings menu and go back into liftoff. Choose to add your account again and everything should be fixed... Or at least that fixed it for me.

Hyprland is a tiling compositor for wayland, so you use hotkeys to manage windows. It is akin to i3wm (or bspwm or awesomewm, etc) but for Wayland instead of xwindows. https://hyprland.org/

The end of the world seems to be coming sooner and sooner ad that means I won't have to work for 30 more years when I retire.

It's very nice looking. You should look at Garuda tho, it's default kde theme is very similar imo

We had these old ass everex (I think that was the brand) 386's that had an one line 8 character display on the front that would display what drive was being accessed and what sector/track it was on. It was pretty useless, until we found the memory address that held the buffer (80h if I remember correctly. We were dumb so we wrote a TSR in turbo pascal that are random times would scroll something like "this computer is about to blow up in 5...4...3...2...1...BOOM!".
I don't think anyone really cared as it was the secondary computer lab used by the programming club mainly, but we thought we were really bad ass.

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.
on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.
i picked this up yesterday and it was really really good! it has a great full flavor and is very smooth. i have tried the angels envy port finished bourbon and was not super happy with it. maybe it was psychosomatic but i could almost taste the port in it. on the same note, i have drank several bottles of the Litchfield distillary Port cask finished bourbon, and really really enjoyed it, so maybe it isn't all in my head. anyway, redemption isn't normally one of my go-to brands but i couldn't resist trying something different and new, and i was pleasently surprised. i would highly recommend it.
