I forgot the first one, but I remember I upgraded it to an ATi Rage Pro so I could play Baldur’s Gate, which needed 8 megabytes of video ram. Later I paired it with a Voodoo 2. I think it was the Diamond Monster one. And that one got replaced with a Matrox G200, which got replaced with Kyro II. I picked some odd cards back then.

His color cycled animated pixel art is fantastic. I had his “living worlds” app as wallpaper on my phone for quite a while.

For Android users, I highly recommend NewPipe as a YouTube client

Windows 3.1 doesn’t even come with a TCP/IP stack. It’s actually pretty safe.

I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin’s. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.

Yes, you should have backups. You can use something like KeePass to store them I suppose. I personally just use the file system on a secure server.

Three seashells?

Search Engine is a great podcast and that was a great interview. For me it didn’t really answer the question though, but I guess the answer is very individual.

As we used to say.

Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven’t played the game but I do work as a software developer.

Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don’t think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.

I’m still on the Sony XM4. No reason to upgrade really.

Search Engine had been my favorite podcast in the last year or so.

I have to agree. It’s simply not worth the risk.

I never new The Three Investigators were continued later. I remember reading those in Danish as a child.

Best coverage I’ve seen so far has been on Ars Technica.

Another vote for Debian stable with backports and flatpaks. I don’t really have an issue with outdated software, and I really like “apt”, maybe because I’m so used to it as this point. I’ve been running mainly Debian for 12+ years now.

My second choice for personal use would be Arch Linux. I had very good experience with it back in the day and their wiki is fantastic. But I’m too comfortable with the simplicity and stability of Debian at this point.

At work I use Ubuntu because everyone else uses it. It’s not too bad. I just ignore all the crap I don’t like (like snaps).
