@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL which I block on purpose 🤣

I was able to dig up StarOffice 3.1, which I used in the 1990’ies on Windows 95. This was the highlight of my day. 🥰 As you can see in the photo below, this CD includes a version for Windows 3.1, 95/NT – and OS/2! How cool is that? My CD back then did not have the OS/2 version.

StarWriter of StarOffice 3.1 can do a lot of the stuff that I’m missing in the tool at work. Like automatic numbering of sections/chapters and cross-references to other parts of the document. Essential basic stuff like that.

All the following screenshots are from QEMU VMs (OS/2 2.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 98), but I think I’m gonna install this on my real OS/2 Warp 4 box soon. 🧓

What really blew my mind is this feature, though: You can rearrange your document’s structure using drag-and-drop. Here’s a demo (Window 2000):

I really, really wish the tool at work would have a feature like that. It would have saved me so much time already. 😭

@prx@si3t.ch there is this ImageGoNord thing I’d found reading an Eww Bar article a couple of months ago… It lets you convert a wallpaper/image to conform to a color pallet, hope you fine it useful.

@prologic@twtxt.net Wait! That’s actually a Mastodon(.)social one! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL fare enough! I’ll keep that in mind fir future twts … I hope invidious instances are ok 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅

Sorry not sorry ranger…

SuperFile a Pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager written in #go.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! I’ll definitely need it !!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞

@mckinley I see 🤔

… So it’s gonna be either a:

• Find a way to do a Chroot install a la Chad Arch Linux way, on a portion of the disk space while I’m Ssh-ing in and then whip out the old debian installation if all goes well.
  
• or a YOLO automated/unattended install.
  

Either way, I’m ready to deal with the eff up! Because I’ve never done none of that before… 😂

What’s all of this about? one may ask…

Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”

I’ve ripped off it’s GPU about a year ago to rescue another computer … Now I’m stuck with only SSH to play with it. Since it came with just a VGA port for display and my monitor takes all but THAT!

Planning a file back up from an old machine that’s been sitting in the corner gathering dust… Because I know ! I’m about to eff it up, BIIIIG Time ! 😂

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I’m looking forward to my all-SSD Btrfs RAID5 NAS. I think it’ll be a while, though. I just paid $6.92/TB for a couple of used 12TB HDDs.

@prologic@twtxt.net They’re shutting down after 7 years. It was a great place to buy Monero with cash by mail. https://localmonero.co/nojs/blog/announcements/winding-down

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net You sure that’s enough? My laptop already has 32 GB RAM. You gotta pump those numbers up!

50 Core CPU, 128GB RAM, 20TB SSD laptops when?

@mckinley@twtxt.net What happened to it? 🤔

RIP LocalMonero. You will be missed.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice. Compiling problematic software is my #1 use of containers on my PC. I use a handful of them on my server.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc I’ve just given it a try and built a signal desktop AppImage from source, since they only distribute deb packages… I’m actually quite impressed! 👍✨

Oops! The magic smoke has arisen from the tweeter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I always think of with a shake of my head, too. Nowadays people voluntarily and actively feeding Stasi with all their information.
