the base is all done and the detailing is lovely! the astronauts are eager for the blue bits of bag 6!

oh i LOVE how these are laid out here

the construction of the edge bits is incredibly clever and looks really snazzy... and now it's time for bag 5 and an upside-down clone

that's step 100! we're not even halfway through the booklet

here comes bag 4, and the question is... just what was in that coffee??

this bit feels soooo wrong

all my other lego is from decades ago, i don't think i've ever seen just a classic 2x4 this pristine

onto bag 3 and... what's this? looks like we're gonna need more coffee!

it's taking shape!

i need to find active communities again. everywhere i'm in feels dead and i feel lonely on the internet

hmm

i'm trying out archlinux32 on a thinkpad T42. should i install NsCDE or WindowMaker? and why?

other suggestions welcome too. i want old computer feel primarily. i liked how windowmaker looked last i tried it (2015 i think?) but it was largely incompatible and crashy which made me shy away from it.

i got it to play youtube videos

so to use youtube-dl you need to use an up to date version

if you download through pip or even pacman you get a version from 2021

if you try to update that, it tells you it can't update because you installed it with an external package manager

and if you try to install it manually using their binary, it's been taken down

i love the future

first real crack at running arch seriously in the form of archlinux32 on a very old thinkpad T42 and without setting any expectations of a desktop computer i'm actually having a pretty fun time just doing dumb shit on the TTY like making it play DVDs on the framebuffer

when are we getting archie linux
