Do you still use CRT monitors? I do

I have a couple in storage that were going to be thrown out. I've missed out on higher quality ones. My mother threw out our big CRT TV against my wishes. If you want a monitor with the CRT aesthetic, there's the Checkmate monitors.

>>113 1. High refresh rate (smoooooth ) 2. 4:3 (and other smaller aspect ratios) paired with the low resolution and that soft glow = cozy 3. Nostalgia

>>103 I have a similar monitor plus an actual CRT for a 2 monitor setup

I've been using CRTs from 2020 till beginning of this year. If you use it too much, it can hurt your eyes, I've felt this. I usually use my computer for idk 15 hours/day, so this can be a pain in the ass. Now I'm using a LED 27'inch monitor with nice colors and it was the best thing I've done. I love CRTs and it's aesthetic, but I don't think it's suitable for me anymore. Here's one of my old photos using it.

I know some people like to bad-mouth Linux Mint, but it eased me into it understanding things and it's pretty comfortable for what it is. Put it on my ancient, dying laptop and it runs nicely.

>>429 I can't see the reason to talk down about Linux Mint when it's literally superior compare to Windows 10 and 11. I know some people have higher standard on Linux distro but I find it ridiculous.

Can you guys browse textboard.org? I got perma IP banned from the site because I wrote a spamming bot shell script and bumped half of the threads on the site I feel guilty now later the admin restored everything Have you ever done something wrong on the internet hikari?

when I was a psychopathic 12 year old I spammed gore images on a porn forum. I used to frequent jihadi forums and other extremist websites to get my kicks. I was one evil little shit.

>>354 confirming also it seems to not be up.

does anyone know what happened to textboard.lol? I know the site was infested with underage memefrens by the latter half of its life but I was hoping to get back on to lurk older threads when I found out it didn't exist anymore also the first (and so far only) time I've been perma ip banned from anything was when I got auth on a cube 2 sauerbraten server and kicked a random guy on the server because I wanted the place to myself. after the server owner banned me for that I uninstalled and then reinstalled the game to see if that would unban me and it did absolutely nothing

Making the computer *yours* Anonymous 01/12/2024 (Fri) 04:54:10 No. 359 [Reply]
People tend towards ricing their desktops, but this is really just visual stuff. What kind of touches do you have to make the computer an extension of yourself rather than collections of other peoples software? I personally set the login PAM auth settings to have rootok as sufficient. getty logins run from uid 1 so you don't have to put in a password. Unprivileged users (including ssh) can't login without the rest of the authentication modules. Having a file that gets printed whenever a shell starts as a motd is pretty useful too.

How do I use computers?

phones are addicting, i prefer comfy computers (but I have no choice other than using the smartōphone >>300 it's not hard!! just expose yourself to new things in computer... try programming, installing other OSes, messing with the bios... go on, explore the world!!

C and Unix are the bread and butter of computing. Install a Linux or Unix operating system in Virtualbox, preferably a Debian disto (Linux Mint is a good choice) or FreeBSD (GhostBSD is good for absolute beginners). Don't jump into something like Gentoo, OpenBSD or Arch too soon. Then go through this book: https://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Just make sure you have a copy of your OS' manual as a handy reference. Once you've done that, pick the Scheme dialect of Lisp or C. Scheme is easier to learn and will teach you a lot about computing whereas C is hard but used in literally everything and you will have to learn it at some point. Which you do first is up to you. Lisp is a great choice for any beginner. For Scheme, go with Simply Scheme and then move on to SICP if you want to https://archive.org/details/SimplyScheme SICP https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/books_pres_0/6515/sicp.zip/index.html For C, just use the King book https://archive.org/details/c-programming-a-modern-approach-2nd-ed-c-89-c-99-king-by
