Unixporn@lemmy.ml•Since people wanter to see older hardware stillEnglish
3·16 days agoIs it in the Debian repos? Also I hope it doesn’t need anything newer that SSE2 on the CPU, so far that has been one of the biggest blockers for running some programs on it.
Same, I have memories of playing AoE2 as a kid on it, and eventually even AoE3 as a less-kid

2·16 days agoYeah it’s an old swap partition that I never touched on the drive when repartitioning. No idea what I was thinking when I created it! To be fair I must have been 15 years old at the tine.

Unixporn@lemmy.ml•Always fun to see old hardware running modern distributiinsEnglish
1·24 days agoFor actually using the machine I would go with another Fedora Atomic distribution, such as Sway, or the XFCE or LXQt Fedora Desktops.
Appart from being a bit slow because of full fat Gnome it was very nice and usable.

1·25 days agoAlso I thought broadcasts only went to connected devices. Aka having a big subnet with 20 devices will have the same performance as a tiny subnet with 20 devices. Does the size of the subnet really make a difference, or is it only the number of actual devices?

2·25 days agoI didn’t know there was a performance penalty to having big subnets. I’ll have to look it up and shrink them.
But this is relatively moot since all my devices talk via ipv6 now. The only thing without ipv6 support I have is Mikrotik devices that only expose their management interfaces over ipv4. Anyway these are only in one VLAN, the management one.

1·25 days agoAh I misspoke. I have different VLANs, not just subnets. So nothing really goes through layer 3 to talk across subnets, as nothing is allowed to go from one VLAN to another. I use them to split the networks between devices that should not talk to each other.

Then I can have fun stuff like
10.42.0.Xare static IPs for known devices, and10.42.1.Xis DHCP addresses for unknown devices. This is also only one subnet, I have quite a few for management, IoT stuff, guest network, work devices.Anyway my network is ipv6 now. Sadly
fastfetchdoesn’t show it, though I’d have to censor it to avoid doxxing my prefix.

5·25 days agoYeah I usually ran XFCE on my old laptops. But this one was wiped immediately after this. Just wanted to see full fat Fedora in action, with all the modern stuff like Wayland.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?English
2·2 months agoStart avoiding Logitech then. I have had three of their Anywhere MX mice of various generations, and now an MX Master mouse. They are expensive, and have ALL had switches start failing, that I had to replace and solder. Two of my coworkers have the same mouse, and like clockwork, after one and a half years one started failing. The other one is not at this mark yet, but I bet the same will happen.
I bought a Keychron mouse to replace it. It was also cheaper.
And to clarify, my comment was not to say it was expected that mice would last that short, rather that it is possible to use it enough that it falls within the expected lifespan in clicks of the switches they give.

2·2 months agoI mean I work 5 days a week so there is that already. That plus playing games on the evenings and weekends and I bet you can near that easily.

2·2 months agoThat’s only once every 3 seconds if you use it 8 hours per day for work.
Well yeah there evidence, the title doesn’t match the article.
Why are you so angry?
Many communities here have a rule to keep the original title, and even out of those it is good form.
But I must repeat: why are you so angry? Is this just how you are or does this reply really make you this angry?
