-/+ I'll be back in uni within weeks now, it'll be weird getting back into the swing of things, but at the same time, I am kinda excited to see what we'll be doing this year.
- I still have no idea what I'm going to do for my project work

+Installing my GPU drivers, Linuxing hard now, hope I will succeed with this attempt, I have been trying since two years now.
-Feeling pretty bad.

- Google's broken tools to remove outdated content from search results are pissing me off.
+ It's the week-end.

+ Rayman M (I missed this game)
- It might crash if I'm rushing the gameplay

- A dead computer, damn.
+ I still have another one.
+ Linux is coming along pretty nicely.
- That dead computer holds Terabytes of data, and was the remaining machine in the Vault with a DVD reader, I hope I'll be able to McGyver it...

– What happened?
+ Looking over some old posts from DesLife for nostalgia.
– Missing DesLife.
+ Programmed a wallpaper rotator.
– Changing the wallpaper makes the screen jump with this window manager.

– I should really see a dentist.

Well, some months ago the RAM of my computer was corrupted and for some reason, Linux could still run on it, but tonight I updated my Slackware to 14.2, and the electricity was cut for ten seconds in the middle of the update, leaving me with an unbootable machine, linux being the last usable OS, my machine is now unusable.
-No money to buy RAM, I'll try to do my best.

Make a bootable USB drive or something. You might still be able to run it and recover the data.

All the RAM? Is there only one module?

Lol, my livecd images are all on the dead computer...

PluMGMK wrote:All the RAM? Is there only one module?

Yup, both of them, one made the computer unbootable and the other is corrupted but still usable.

Shoot. How old are they?

As far as I know Linux can detect which sectors of RAM are broken and not use them. So if you installed it on an USB you could boot from it, or you could just take the disk out of the broken PC and put it in the working one.

Hmm, my server had some bad RAM in it back in 2014, and so it often locked up for no apparent reason. So that detection ain't foolproof!

I wasn't sure of it but thanks for confirming my thought

But it is the only "real" computer I have, aside of it I have my Alienware Laptop...

+++ Two weeks to leaving this wretched place

-- I couldn't shoot my next video this weekend. I'm gonna have to do it before I leave.

+ Vim 8 is out.
– So is kernel 4.8-rc6 and it still can't load the nouveau firmware.
– Too scared to file a bug report.

– Electricity went off today and when it came back my server came back on… with no network.

^6
– This sort of rubbish never happened before the switch to SystemD.

+ We're on page 900, I just noticed!

Heh heh, now you know why I dislike it, just switch to BSD Unit or to OpenRC if you can.
+Updated some software on my computer.

– I'd kind of like to switch back to Upstart, which is what the server used before the Ubuntu upgrade, but somehow I doubt it'd be supported.
+ I get the feeling it's not so much SystemD, but the way Ubuntu configures it by default.
– I have no idea what to change.

EDIT: + I have an idea… Ubuntu uses NetworkManager, but on my CLFS PC I use SystemD-ResolveD instead, which is simpler. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Well, a friend of mine suggested me CentOS for the servers.
Why do you use Ubuntu ?!
+Listening some trance.
+Slicing here and there in my PC, nothing serious, can't wait to get my hands on the pieces I'm waiting.
- I'd like to use Slackware on my Raspberry Pi, but I'm afraid to be unable to afterwards be unable to find the packages I'll need. So I have to fall back on Raspbian.
- Feeling curious, but now I'm thinking about it the moon is soon full and it always triggers some weird feelings inside me...
