Hi, it’s me, I’m the problem it’s me

I love being in a twink!

I came for Star Craft

Fedora Silverblue, I downloaded the latest image from their website. I also tried AntiX and Zorin. I just tried using Rufus to burn a FreeDOS USB stick and no luck there either. My old Windows SSD was booting, but now when I just tried again I’m getting BSOD. I think the computer is borked after sitting for too long, so time to build a new one. with blackjack and hookers.

It’s a USB 2 drive and USB 2 ports. I have some USB 3 ports on a PCIe expansion card but they’re not recognized during boot. I tried the other USB 2 port and it was the same result. I’m thinking the MoBo might be borked after sitting for too many years.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

My BIOS is old enough that it is legacy :-) It can see the USB device, but for some reason when I try to boot from it the system just hangs with no video output. It sees it as a hard drive, so I have to make it the 1st drive and then I can set the boot priority.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

I disabled quick boot. My BIOS is old enough that it doesn’t have secure boot.

I can’t even get to the GRUB stage. I try to boot from the USB or the DVD and it just hangs with no video output.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

I am using Rufus with MBR and “BIOS or UEFI”, I don’t see a BIOS-only mode.

When I burn the USB stick, I get a popup about a hybrid ISO. I’ve tried both ISO mode and dd mode, neither option lets me boot.

Lies, you’ll keep buying new games every fall steam sale

During the lock downs I got furloughed for a week. I spent most of it playing Dwarf Fortress.

Jokes on them, I won’t have any money to buy stuff

Still good advice

I disabled all that crap in my work computer, I’m not about to turn it on for Firefox. Windows 98 was peak UI.

Um, can I get a job at this mythical place that puts more masculine energy in my ass?

Edit: asking for a friend

I got into the TFC mod for half life, but never got into multi-player fps games beyond that

It’s not difficult to file your taxes on paper.

A slow cooker sous vide also works nicely

I voted uncommitted in the primary, and voted for Harris in the general. I imagine lots of people like me did the same.

The value of a unit of currency is based on someone else’s willingness to accept it. If you’re willing to accept two clam shells in exchange for one widget, then our clam shell currency has value between us.

Almost anyone in the world is (currently) willing to accept a US dollar. There will be some exchange rate and transaction fee, so maybe I demand three dollars instead of two. I know that I can convert those three US dollars into my local currency that others are willing to accept.

The whole premise of bitcoin is that the line will continue going up and someone will always be willing to pay more for it than what you paid. If you agree to sell your car for one bitcoin, and tomorrow it crashes, you just lost the entire value of your car. The chances of a sovereign currency crashing is never 0, but it’s much more stable than bitcoin.
