Are you sure? Action Retro built a software RAID from 30 floppy drives connected over USB.
- Comment on Iran Propaganda is very entertaining to follow 4 days ago:
The worse the military, the better the propaganda. Is a rule of thumb at least.
- Comment on Iran Propaganda is very entertaining to follow 4 days ago:
Propaganda is always important. This is to be shared among Americans to further weaken support of Trump’s war in Iran. They did a pretty good job with this.

- Comment on HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rules 1 week ago:
I still use a Brother laser printers, that’s at least 15 years old. Got it for free a decade ago. It just keeps printing.
- Comment on HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rules 1 week ago:
Color laser printers have been around for a while. Color quality is worse than an ink jet. So if you’re printing high quality photos, it’s not ideal. It’s good enough though and the other advantages of laser remain.

Garuda is a great and very polished Arch distro. The bling in their riced themes is not so great for old machines, but a recent one has no issue. The documentation and community is also pretty good. Their dotfiles and choice of terminal tools were also great.

Does Omarchy count as Arch?
- Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead 5 weeks ago:
The school IT department is often the math teacher’s side hustle or a badly paid gamer dude with Microsoft certifications.
Surveillance and tracking is the least of their concerns.

The long update has the advantage of providing an opportunity to touch grass.
- Comment on What's a good entry level printer these days? 2 months ago:
MK3S is noticeably better, I’d say.
Buying second hand usually means more tinkering and repairs, which can be a hassle.
Other than that Prusa makes good stuff.
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 2 months ago:
Someone else will point out the typo.
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 2 months ago:
I simply dump the installed packages into a text file and then use that on the next install.
Pseudo terminal commands:
packagemanager list installed -nodeps >> packagemanager install `cat myfacorites.txt`

What communities can you recommend?
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 2 months ago:
Leftist spaces have changed a lot over the last two decades. Not for the better.
Cancel Culture Culture is real and extremely aggressive among the left.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 2 months ago:
Lemmy doesn’t have quality debates on politics either. The mods in the relevant communities swing the ban hammer liberally against everyone not following their opinion. Mainstream democrat talking points get banned as fascist. Antisemitic stuff is widespread as well.
You mostly get woke to extreme left echo chambers going on.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good place to see this moderation in action.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 2 months ago:
Lemmy has neither.
- Comment on Printed this extra long cat snake on my ender3v3 (this thing is longer than my 10yo!). The print came great for the most part. What do you think happened at this one spot? Bed adhesion issue? 3 months ago:
Snakes like that are always print in place.

Making something that goes boom is easy. Making something that can contain a boom and channel the boom into only one direction is difficult. Quality metallurgy and precision metal work is actually difficult. Making a tube and a projectile that fit each other nicely is very hard to do at scale.
