I cooked food for 20 years. Now I build computers and dive down Linux 🐇 🕳️s on a personal learning journey.

Fibromyalgia sucks! Existence is pain and resistance is futile. Thanks for noticing me.

  • Had something that was an Apple II or IBM clone…ran floppy floppies.

    I couldn’t even save my documents, as I had no spare floppies and my parents didn’t understand we need blank ones as media lol.

    Yet they were able to record TV to blank VHS’s…

    But I learned BASIC on it. And played Garfield and Spiderman and Oregon Trail a lot.

    Our second one was a Compaq, with a Pentium III, onboard motherboard GFX. 56k that never went beyond 4100 on the best of days, 1200 when raining. It fried eventually after a botched RAM upgrade by my brother.

    It did run Merchwarrior III, FFXI and Tribes 2 swell when we got it a PCI graphics card before the botched RAM incident.

    Off topic:

    My brother coached me in PC building in ~02. Most recently built a 5950X3D system. Thanks Microcenter. And R.I.P. my brother.













  • Mint Mobile because paying up front for ~$180/year= 365 days of Talk/SMS/5Gb-5G/$15-month.

    Been with em since it launched. And back then it was only 2Gb-4G/$15-month.

    I believe new users can get any plan for the same intro price for various plans for the first 3 months.

    Also has “Unlimited” 40Gb and “Unnecessary” 60Gb for extreme data peoples.

    me never using more than 2Gb

    Unlimited plan incl. 40GB high-speed data w/10GB hotspot. Unnecessary plan incl. 60GB high-speed data w/20GB

    You can hotspot all your data on other plans if you wish.

    If you use all your allotment, you can still read emails and google maps with throttled speeds, browsing is painful.

    The bigger 2 get capped at 10 and 20 of hotspot use to keep people from using them as a primary Home ISP.

    You can upgrade a plan at any time, but can’t downgrade.

    Tubular is really spiffy to force 480p/720p for videos.

    People burning data on 1080p/1440p…why!!!

    I personally download playlists/music I want for offline use with Tidal and use Organic Maps so that solved my main data use issues right there. (Also refreshing to not be tracked by Google in 2025) and also works no issue, on Sandboxed Android Auto on GrapheneOS 🤔😂🤘
