@NanoRaptor A bunny's eyes are kind of like the accretion discs of a black hole, come to think of it

I was in #Toronto visiting the kid this weekend. Stopped by an #electronics store I had heard about, called "Supremetronic”…

Really, it was a section in the basement of a Home Hardware, directly next to the paint counter.

What a strange little nook of availability that was. Hundreds of bins of discrete components, a few bins of ICs, and some essentials like ribbon cables, perf board, and connectors. A few kits, and some project boxes.

🤯

It's set up! Finally! And memtest was already on the ISO, I didn't have to jump through hoops to get a writable boot environment, it just... wasn't in the GRUB menu for some reason?

Man idefk anymore. I'm tired. It's installed, I got the badRAM map added to the GRUB defaults and everything, I can worry about finishing everything later.

This would be a lot easier if I didn't have to worry about copying over badmem maps every time, but that's what I get for working off secondhand parts with the current Situation(tm)

I just installed grub manually and... the live image is hardcoded to use the ISO label to mount its partitions

*sob*

Huh.

Sure is Weird how some developers rushed to add age verification to linux when the bills weren't even law yet. I wonder if any of that will be rolled back now... :thonk:

Dear grub, why aren't you grubbing? Are the x64 modules on this ISO just cooked? Am I gonna have to boot this in i386 mode? Please tell me I won't have to boot this in i386 mode.

Guess I gotta advertise myself a little:

Do you have a task you've wanted to automate/simplify but never known how?

Does your server have an issue or improvement you've been procrastinating on?

Does your polycule, gaming group, extended family, or collective need internet infrastructure that's stable, yours, and won't break because a forced update came out?

Drop me a message! I can give advice, write solutions, host services, or train you.

I offer a humans-first approach. All technical problems are people problems first. Software should be usable, stable, and sustainable - certainly not flashy or reinvented.

Payment is simply per hour of work, plus hosting fees if applicable.

Racists ain't the only ones with #MutualAid posts.

Between shitty Internet providers (FUCK SPECTRUM!) and everything just being Expensive, shit sucks.

Also dansup still hasn't put his money where his mouth is re: mutual aid (now that's a deep cut as I continue to bring up Old Shit!).

Pettiness aside... I also do stuff like Queer City Blackfolx so Black Q/Ts can have a safer space to just exist. To round out there's also Our Favorite Void webring and my blog, Raintree Ruckus. If you dig what I'm doin', a tip/love gift/beer money helps a lot!

Help me keep my head above water and the website lights on!

GOAL 0/500 (update on progress pending)

@albinanigans That's wonderful news! I hope that'll give you a little more breathing room
