From the director Jerry Rees on an ama 14 years ago:

"The Kirby 500 series is very close to our Vacuum. Toaster was pretty much a simplified Sunbeam. Radio was like a distillation of lots of bakelite radios into one. I remember there was some discussion among the producers about putting eyes and a mouth on Radio. I pointed out that since he was a clock-radio, he already had a face. And his speaker, is his mouth. Glad they let go of the literal face idea. Blanky’s feel - not his model really - was like an insecurity blanket, because he was without his child to cuddle. Lampy was just a good ol’ bendy-neck. Thought he was bright, but he could be pretty dim sometimes.

Re the junkyard. It’s interesting that we were able to deal with mortality in a way that totally made sense (because cars really do get crushed there) but also went to extremes we could never have gotten away with if we’d used anything but inanimate objects."

I suspect this was a contributing factor in the divorce.

You mean “Our Computer”, comrade.

slaps the hood

You know how many CVEs this puppy can hold?

To each their own. I love plain 'ol vanilla Arch.

that little maneuver just cost us 50 years

Palmer Lucky turning into a Bond villain wasn’t exactly something I expected when I first saw him pushing the original Kickstarter Oculus

Now I want a Slayer cover of this.

I use the same naming convention as you for stacks, but since I’m running a docker swarm I have to mount the NFS in the exact same way on all my nodes, which are just 3 R-Pi 4s. It’s a little janky in that if the NFS goes offline all my services go along with it. Traefik works really well with a swarm, especially when you have it set to auto pick up any services and proxy them.

I do, thanks. I even write my own units sometimes for the botnet.

I actually use Debian btw. Arch in a VM on Proxmox.

I loved my Pixel 4a with LinageOS. It was the perfect form factor. Sadly, I had to give it up when my banking app decided that it was exclusively only for Android/IOS and deemed LinageOS to “unsafe” which was bull shit.

I’ve always been secretly jealous of Samsung hardware, then I remember how terrible their software is and buy the newest Pixel.

Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU

Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

Niri. I know it’s not a DE, but it’s currently my fav.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

I’ve had nzbgeek for years.

It’s an old game but I recently discovered Kittens Game. I also love Balatro, but Kittens it is more complicated and deeper. It’s basically balancing spreadsheets for fun. Don’t look at the wiki until you can get 120 kittens.
