Ah, yes. The OS with an innit system, UKUI (United Kingdom User Interface) or MATE (you wot m8‽), and british (bloody ridiculous interactive terminal input shell).

I also plan to run Haiku on one of my older machines, but I can’t write down its components (e.g. init system, audio server), as it’s more monolithic than NetBSD or GNU/Linux.

To transfer files using netcat, it’s:

# Replace 1337 with any port number you like
nc -vl 1337 > file   # On recipient
nc -N 192.168.X.X 1337 < file   # On sender

Of course, things like compression and encryption need to be done beforehand; but one would hopefully use other means to transfer such files.

(InfoSec vs. PrivSec, perhaps?)

Depending on your drivers, you could give Guix a go. It’s not for everyone; but it’s decent, solid, and I used to run it on a 32-bit machine with 3GB of RAM.

If you do require nonfree drivers, there are guides to set it up using Nonguix; but I don’t know how well that works (I am yet to try it).

Fun fact: this is from an anti-pollution PSA by Friends Of The Earth or Greenpeace or some other activist charity.

I’m aware. It’s fun to respond, sometimes.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

What is this, The Day Today?

“Whistleblower Says Big Bad Wolf Is Only Pretending to Care About Little Pig Safety”

Fuck the pro-state!

Zoophiles are, quite rightly, ostracised and despised by nearly all furries, just as in non-furry communities.

Space Invaders. Looks like I’m shooting some spaceships!

It is. They are complying with the law to the letter with the sole aim of pissing off the lawmakera, and succeeding.

Imagine being high walking into this bathroom!

Shit it’s real

This is so on-the-nose it hurts.

Immense damage has been done to the short-term and long-term health of the USA and several other countries. Measles had been eradicated, for fuck’s sake!

Literally just walk into CeX (or any non-British equivalent) and there will be at least three on display.

I did also briefly own a PS2 Slim, but my mum got rid of it because I didn’t use it enough (I still have my Wii to this day, though).
