Yippie Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon.

I’ve had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!

“Let’s go eat, huh?”

Or for one that has more or less pierced the cultural zeitgeist:

“Oh hi Mark”

I’m pretty sure any distro using GNU software would be disqualified, so maybe Alpine?

I personally use btrbk with a custom built systemd service and timer. Right now it’s very specific to my infrastructure, but if enough people request it and I have time and opportunity, I’ll post a generic solution here as soon as I can

Look into BTRFS. I’ve been using it for a few months now and it’s awesome. Live disk images with delta changes (saving on consumed space and backup time), even with encrypted drives, and it’s used extensively by Google and Amazon so it will very likely be supported and maintained for a long time to come.

Reading through this thread I’m starting to feel like I’ve probably been overly paranoid.

I have:

• Multiple mobile devices on two different carriers, including computers, phones, and tablets with 5/4G and some with satellite service.
• A high speed wired primary network (2+Gb/300+Mb DOCSIS).
• A robust wireless network (Wi-Fi 7) with multiple access points secured with WPA3 and 802.1X.
• A 24U Server infrastructure for games, networking, media, and Linux ISOs.
• Battle tested 3-2-1+ backup solution, including on site backup with redundancy, as well as two off site backups with redundancy.
• Dual UPS units connected to independent 20A circuits.
• Dual Gasoline and Propane powered backup generators connected to the UPS units to kick in automatically.
• Edit: I forgot to mention that my internal network is running at 10Gb.

Some of that infrastructure was necessary for my line of work during the worst of the covid pandemic, but now it’s more “nice to have in case of apocalypse” equipment.

That’s awesome, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

It supposedly had something to do with calculus and the ratio between the diameter of the inner most groove to the diameter of the outermost groove being optimal at that size, but I’m not sure how much of that is genuine or just marketing. I’ve also heard that the larger hole is better for the mechanisms in jukeboxes.

The adapter does not affect the speed of the turntable, and you would still need to flip the switch on the record player to 45 RPM. These physically smaller (7") records were commonly referred to as singles because they would hold a single song per side.

The larger (12") 33 1/3 RPM records had a smaller spindle than 45s, which meant you would need to use an adapter like the one pictured to play a 45, as demonstrated in the video shared by @thermal_shock.

Since 33s were physically larger and played at a slower speed, you could fit much more music on each side of the disc. That’s why those discs would be used for entire albums, and were also commonly referred to as LPs (Long Plays).

Let it rip!

That’s not really all that special or unique. There are lots of things that many people would instantly recognize that others would have never seen before.

45/33 1/3 RPM records might be well within your wheelhouse, but would you recognize a 78 RPM record, or an Edison wax cylinder at first glance? How about the image below?

Pfft, those are still maintained (Haiku and ArcaOS respectively) and so corporate man.

TempleOS all the way baby. Nothing is more powerful the the almighty HolyC.

Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

One I haven’t seen mentioned, and likely isn’t very famous anymore is (212) 736-5000.

How does this differ from something like FreeMcBoot?

I get that this is better than the old titles.db + specific PS1 disc method, but FreeMcBoot memory cards already made that approach obsolete years ago. Is it just that it supports more models than the older exploits?
