Some friends at work started up a patient-gamer-style Pokémon book club. It’s been four months and we’re almost done Pokémon Black/White (which may sound impressive except that we started with Pokémon Black/White)
My point is: there’s basically an unlimited number of good games that run on old hardware. Not that retro Nintendo hardware is cheap these days, but if you’ve got some lying around…

I can’t argue with that.
With the systemd example, they’ve put the bus in /run, but with different sessions and slices and environments (which could all be concurrent), they’ll spawn a new bus, so there’s no general way to tell it which bus you want.
If you have a cron job (sorry, a systemd-timer job) set up to project your mailbox to your bathroom mirror on the hour, you’d want that isolated from your regular user bus.

I love where Plasma is these days (check out the Tiles editor with Meta+T), but I do wish it was easier to pick only the desktop elements I want. It feels like it’s all-or-nothing.

Whatever i3 is using underneath, somebody put a line somewhere to tell everything where to find the bus.
If you’re not using a full desktop environment then you’re choosing to cover the features you’ve opted out of.
I respect that choice, and I’m glad our ecosystem allows it. But also I understand that you’re not going to get the full benefits of a desktop environment without the desktop environment.

Yes, so it knows where the bus is. That seems… normal?

I regret absolutely nothing

Pretty sure the systemd command you’re talking about just adds the bus to PATH. You very likely could just do that yourself.

Oh, that makes sense.
For a quick and dirty fix, you might be able to define columns using a multiplexer like gnu screen or tmux. I think I know how to do that using byobu (a screen/tmux config wrapper), so that it would come up by default with three panes set up like columns, with the first and the third being narrow to create faux margins, and the middle pane running your top of choice.

You made it through the whole list??

That makes more sense but is less funny

Fuck, I don’t even care if they innovate

Same. It’s like coming home.
Switched my gaming PC over to Arch a little while back but the server’s always going to be Debian.

Naudience.

Also your CRT might have dials that can make the picture more narrow and pull it away from the edges.

I enjoyed this journey, congrats.
I would also like to recommend btop.
Also don’t get a different monitor, that one has such a strong aesthetic.

dpkg -l | grep ^ii
(and then cry (this step is non-optional))

You’re goddamn right

If you were lucky, you’d get the lion’s share

The printer side of things is pretty atrocious.
