Welcome back to 1985 I guess. Now you’re going to need a green phosphor CRT and a dot matrix printer.
The good news is that afterward, some redneck drunkard scientist with a spare Titan II missile somewhere in Montana will give us warp drive.
I would think involving civilians usually is. Not like it’s a first for them.
And then this thing on top of that, again. Over and over.
If I did that half my neighbors would own my devices in a week because they like transmitting open access points for setup purposes. I just connect them anyway and then just block them from outbound access at the router if I want to restrict them. That way I can be sure. Then I can use my Homeassistant server to control them from behind the firewall locally if they have that capability.
It kinda does matter if you want updated drivers and packages and stuff. I use Debian because I love its bare bones, generic approach and I’m used to it, but I’d never recommend it for anyone playing the latest games unless they like cruising five years in the past.
Why would we want to be ruled by our 51st state?
As long as the head gasket is still good, oil seals are good, and piston rings are good, everything around them can be replaced at home with a Haynes manual, except maybe the transmission and any welding work on the exhaust.
Just did a timing belt replacement in the driveway on mine, good for another ten years now.
I’m a single dude who sells custom electronics with open source software on them. I sell maybe two PCBs a month. It just about covers my hobby, I’m not even living off of it. I can’t afford commercial licenses. There has to be tiers.
In return, I’ve made every schematic, gerber file, and bill of material to my stuff freely available.
And when it’s really unusable as a desktop anymore, it can become a headless PiHole server. There’s always a use. Back in 2005 I was using an old Pentium MMX laptop with a broken screen as a Wifi access point/router. I even bought a two-way 2.4Ghz amplifier to hang off the laptop’s PCMCIA wifi card to boost it throughout the apartment.

I’m a C/C++ dude but I heard it being called the “Karen compiler”. It doesn’t look that scary based on samples I’ve seen, but there’s way more to it I am assuming.
I learned how a kernel actually loads a program and switches between them by using timer interrupts and interrupt vectors that point to specific locations in memory to resume execution from. Not specifically Linux related, but I’m trying to learn more computer science, and it just clicked for me two weeks ago. I’ve been programming microcontrollers for ten years, but those are monolithic programs, and while I knew what interrupts were and have used them, I never understood how an OS actually runs multiple things while staying in control. Now I do. About time I understood a core concept of these machines that have been here all 42 years of my life.
It’s one of those “aha!” moments like when I realized classes and structs are just data types like any other in C++ when I was starting off programming and can be used like them. OOP became fun after that.
They’ve been doing this for decades. The Mac boot sound has been hard coded since Macs were a thing.
SGI used to do this with their Irix workstations.
It’s more like QBasic dialect, but it’s still actively maintained. It can generate binaries and everything for modern machines.
