The end of the world seems to be coming sooner and sooner ad that means I won’t have to work for 30 more years when I retire.

We had these old ass everex (I think that was the brand) 386’s that had an one line 8 character display on the front that would display what drive was being accessed and what sector/track it was on. It was pretty useless, until we found the memory address that held the buffer (80h if I remember correctly. We were dumb so we wrote a TSR in turbo pascal that are random times would scroll something like “this computer is about to blow up in 5…4…3…2…1…BOOM!”.

I don’t think anyone really cared as it was the secondary computer lab used by the programming club mainly, but we thought we were really bad ass.

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.
