@root ​ which one am i

@root "automated" was what twitter added and i still used it (set it as automated by the account of our system as a whole) (until i got perma suspended on twitter anyway)

@jeffgerstmann have you tried this one? 👆

tried out a new boy today

quite interesting, reminds me a lot of red bull but much sweeter and much cheaper

@jk yeah the retro parts market online is kinda wild right now asking silly prices

given the Compaq laptop i have that won't see anything larger than 16gb is a 1998 Pentium 2 yeah i think yours might be expecting even smaller drives

@jk in my experience early compaqs are notoriously bad at working with arbitrary hard drives, i have one that'll only work with a 16gb cf to ide adapter because it refuses to acknowledge anything bigger than that

plus there's the issue of some of them (at least their laptop lines) not having setup in bios so rather you need to boot off a setup floppy to change anything in the bios and the images are hard to find.. etc

anyway turns out the battery in the ipaq 214 isn't as dead as i thought it was and i got linux running on it and there's a version of pidgin in the angstrom repos and idk this is just dumb fun

i'm glad i was able to flee the toxic people in my life who spread misinformation about me and i take solace in knowing they are still seething about me living my best life today.

boy,

thoughts are bad today

debian systems want you to make a whole chroot so you can apt libs for different archs ?????? surely there's a better way ???

cross-compiling is such a painnnnnnn

oh opkg works if you replace www.angstrom-distribution.org with feeds.angstrom-distribution.org !!!!

haa

using an OTG cable it seems to be more conducive to actually charging the battery

and now the ipaq 214 is running angstrom linux

unfortunately seems like the angstrom linux servers are no longer online so i can't fetch their opkgs, bummer

pfhwoargh

there seem to be some custom roms for HP ipaq models 21x but they're all link rotten to megaupload and rapidshare :/
