The public Spanish radio and TV conglomerate (our BBC, that's it) recently shut down SW/AM radio stations. A shame, even more when we recently suffered a blackout and nothing could match AM's reachability, FM pales against it

Switch to another user, idealy called 'npm'. su -l npm Then, just in case, run it under bubblewrap so it just can use $HOME and nothing more.

It's the opposite. Plan9's rc(1) it's much saner than Bash, Ksh and PowerShell.

Sorry, but nope; Golang there would be there a beast doing that in a much, much faster way. Not to mention C/C++ with NCurses.

Too late; software patents in Europe were void so most people grabbed XVID/DIVX encoders from Debian Multimedia. PKF and the like. And, yes, I remember w32codecs until MPlayer's bundled set superseded them. And mencoder for sure ;

Take any woman head, use PS on any porn snapshot, use the clone tool, now you have a crude approximation. PS or Gimp skills = near zero.

Ban Gimp too. And any MS Paint clone. And pencils. Any mediocre artist can deduce the anatomy of everyone under the clothes.

Install ZRAM and try Otter Browser instead ffox. Set adblocking at Otter's settings. Also, Dillo from git it's uberfast and good enough for news, blogs and HN. Also Alpine Linux (32 bit, the extended edition for better hw) will ru

For SNES I'd use Mednafen with the snes_faust core; and for difficult games to emulate I'd use the snes core. Also Mednafen works for MD/NES/GB/GBA/NGP and tons more systems. PCSX-PGXP runs really well too, for

For games Mednafen and PCSXR do wonders; and SCummvm itself supports tons of graphical and text adventures (even modern ones such as Technobabylon) and tons of source ports (and recompilations such as Super Mario 64) will run fine with just

HP mini there, with ZRAM it's really fast. I use Flubox+UXTerm+a bunch of CLI/TUI tools among mpv, nsxiv and mupdf. The OS I use it's hyperbola GNU/Linux, A bit outdated but most modern stuff it's compiled from sour

Libera.chat instead of freenode. Also, Bitlbee.org's public servers against your own Jabber and Mastodon accounts and the like.

Merge this with the public servers of https://bitlbee.org to use Jabber or Mastodon servers (among others) with it.

Maybe; but compared to a Sun machine the Indy had better graphical capabilities. And far beyond from a PC and an Amiga. You could always repurpose the SGI machine for anything else too.

That's a waste for an SGI machine. SGI's were mainly known for 3D stuff.
