good morning
its time for rats to actually get to do things
🦨🦔: my brother got one of those human chew toys for our nibling and I really want—
🐀: no rat time
im gonna get started on linux from scratch
oh yeah i need to like set up an actual distribution first
think im going to go with mint just because i used it before years ago and it seems very popular
this is just to have something to make lfs so i dont want to go too out there
i kind of forgot that like ill not be able to do things on the laptop im installing stuff to
ok yeah i guess i should have known to disconnect my backup usb drive
like i _could_ install it to there but not really
oh boy partitioning trouble
basically my laptop is meant to only be windows and beyond the c drive that has the lions share of the disk
so like i need to shrink that disk in windows
im beginning to shave yaks
ok finally installing mint
basically i didnt notice the little set button when disabling the page file so I could shrink the c drive
i will say that the fact that the live drive just recognized my monitors kvm wifi and sound was a great sign of how far linux has come from like when i first started using it in the 90s
ok its installed but booting into windows so im going to need to get some food and then look at the bios
ok i dont think i actually installed a linux bootloader
oops
🐆: stop doing the thing and go get food dear
🐀: rawr
🐆: ...
🐀: ok
ate some food and watched some more poker face
feeling a little suddenly down and tired so i think nap time
@zebratron2084 I just wrapped up episode 4, with the metal band!
@chimerror That's a good one. I've been pondering a magpie 'sona ever since. :D
@zebratron2084 I'm up to 7 now and while I don't think I agree with their ideas of praxis the retirement home revolutionaries are so goals
@chimerror oh whew, if there's been any one episode my friends have found tough going it's been the nursing home one because... yeah. way to let us down, comrades.
@zebratron2084 yeah, don't get me wrong, I have opinions about that episode and it feels like someone complained that money was the motivating factor of most of the murders and felt like they needed to get one on those lefties
but it was a delightful romp anyway
@zebratron2084 and to be honest for a lot of the murders, I really did find myself just hoping the murderer chose not to murder despite me knowing it would happen
and I really like that
the murderers aren't wholly unsympathetic, and often are very sympathetic up until they commit murder
and I really like that, because I think it makes the fact that they do murder feel like a tragedy both ways most of the time
@chimerror There are really fairly few *loathsome* characters. Even Cliff's attitude is... kinda understandable given what a thorn in his side Charlie's been, even if he's still an amoral dirtbag? And obviously any Ron Perlman villain is likeable, that's just Ron Powers...
@zebratron2084 yeah! even Frost Jr., I get. it sucks to be a fuck up.
very big Don Jr. vibes from him
