  • Exclamations I used to say:"Big black bats!" - something to do with Batman or something?"Great Qubits!" - I liked quantum physics, because I didn't understand it

    Insults and exclamations I say now:"Eat a (some kind of weapon)!" - Fancy way to tell someone "kill yourself". Like "Eat a grenade", "Eat a gun"Random syllables that sound like Klingon mixed with Slavic and Hebrew - I speak none of those languages, but still say stuff like "Vzer krakh!" when I get annoyed by popups."Koskenkorva!" - the Finnish vodka-like drink. I don't even drink that.

    Breaking the "non-religous" constraint, because i want to:"Jesus Christ in a tank!" - In response to something very surprising that I can't remember

    Saving the best for last: Captain Haddock interjections."Ten thousand thundering typhoons!""Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles!""Addlepated lumps of anthracite!""Antediluvian bulldozer!""Pompous popinjay!""Pockmark!"

  • I didn't actually try it, that's just the joke that's floating around. "GNU HURD, like GTA6, will never be finished."

    For all I know, it's still in beta stage, even if it is usable.

  • qemu/kvm memory question

    Jump

  • It might actually be running out of memory. 16GB are used, and the other 16GB are unusable somehow. Could be a bad RAM stick or bad connection (as mentioned by others), or it could be a memory quota. Run ulimit -a to check the quota.

    However, on my second read, the symptoms do not match up with running out of memory. (can drop to the console, can move the mouse) It could be a problem with the desktop environment. Which DE do you use?

  • I'll try something different next install, I swear.

    Jump

  • I'm interested in other DEs, i swear! I just don't use them, or like them!

  • Replace Linux with NetBSD, and then I'll just put my entire hand on the touchscreen

    Probably would also work with Linux

  • The year is 5495. HURD will probably be complete by then.

  • Monitors not working. Help?

    Jump

  • Disabling those should be similar. Search for NVIDIA in the driver name, and use the same process.

  • qemu/kvm memory question

    Jump

  • Do you have any SWAP partition or swapfile? That will allow the host operating system to use parts of the disk as memory. Instead of completely locking up when it runs out of memory, it will get slow first, and buy you more time.

  • Using bash & cron to chime at specific times - "guide"

  • I use echo ^G

    (That ^G is a literal control-G character, type control-V then control-G to get it, or Insert then control-G)
