Oh no
Thought to have been an ordinary falling star.
Oh no
Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age
I don’t see you contributing much of value either…
if I get an idea I am not happy until it start making money
That sounds extremely unsustainable
MicroOS is designed as a server OS first and foremost, but I have read some anecdotes of people using it just fine on the desktop.
You might want to look into OpenSUSE Aeon or Kalpa instead, which are immutable editions designed for the desktop, running GNOME and KDE respectively. Kalpa is in alpha (almost rhymed) but Aeon is in a more mature state.
Might be worth trying to find a refurbished HP ProLiant MicroServer. There are a few on eBay UK within the £200-400 range. You can sometimes find professionally refurbished units as well.
Why not? It would help massively with the ‘affordable’ criterion
My dad had a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, complete with a bunch of Totally Legit plugins which allowed him to watch anything he wanted. Thought it was legal and above board because… wait for it… it’s open-source
My dad got into Kazaa in the mid-00s, then Limewire, before discovering Mininova and TPB. Just kinda saw what he was doing and thought it was interesting. (We were often told not to touch the computer as it’d “knock off his download”…)
I seem to recall one of the first things I pirated was… er, Pirates of the Caribbean, which I watched with my friends huddled round my laptop. Quality times.
I tend to use objects in space. My media server is called phobos, and my AzuraCast server is called dorado.
They’re a bit meaningless, though, so when I do my planned server upgrade this year I’m going to go with something different. My pfSense server was called sibyl, so perhaps something along those lines.
By that logic, nothing is reliable…? Because you could say that about literally anything
That’s pretty impressive. I’m especially surprised about the 8GB RAM considering that was a lot even in the early 2010s.
Must’ve been an office with money, then…
Could spend your 12 hours making it run! Plenty of tinkering opportunity there :D
If it’s an office desktop, we’re probably talking a low-end Intel Pentium with 256MB RAM. If there is a discrete graphics card, it’ll be one of those ultra-basic ones, but chances are it’ll be onboard only. There’s probably a CD-ROM drive (DVD drives were still quite expensive!) and USB 2.0.
I think they’re referring more to the aspect ratio - watching a 16:9 film on a 4:3 display isn’t the most optimal method, to put it charitably
Mid-2000s? SC3K would run easily, I’d have thought. SC4, on the other hand…
I reported a SharePoint bug to Microsoft yesterday afternoon, and it was fixed by the time I logged in this morning.
Nginx Proxy Manager, I assume
