sjvnWould you believe this is how we used to install Arch Linux?
Christine Hall@sjvn Wow! I did not know that. I learn so much from reading your posts.
Lance (Thank you for 11 Views)@sjvn So was Linux secretly invented by the Romans?
Paul D. Ouderkirk@sjvn still easier than Slackware on floppies
Reiner Jung 🇬🇱 🇺🇦 🇪🇺@pdo @sjvn Ah the good old days. Where you also using the Slackware transfer protocol?
- Collect all your floppies
- Check the floppies if they still work
- Run to the university
- Copy data onto the floppies with DD
- Check whether the damn DEC OSF really copied the data
- Go back home
- Start installation
- broken: Some floppy is broken
- Go back to the university
- Repeat floppy copy
- Go home
- continue install
- Goto broken

Martin@sjvn Root commands only on the bottom two terminals?

@sjvn You think it's going to work smoothly every time but you end up summoning a daemon instead...
Greg Bell@sjvn @briankrebs of course this configuration often has keystoning problems
Ryan The Red 🖥️🚲🍺🏳️🌈@sjvn Stop. Staaahp.
guenther@sjvn "used to"?

Florida Ted@sjvn @[email protected] Here's something to make you smile. :-)

Peter Cohen@sjvn with only half the stargate exposed, how do you activate all seven chevrons?
(dubious) opinion haver 
bensonk@sjvn I would not, but thank you for asking.
flowcontrol@sjvn now the old energy star logo makes sense
@sjvn Is that a Stargate? 😅

australopithecus@sjvn You can't see it in this photo, but a mirrored configuration is duck-taped to the ceiling on the next floor down. The summoning circle is then drawn orthogonally to the first circle, on the floor, before the ritual begins.

Imagine the Gentoo users having to built all those computers first.

sparseMatrix 📻It didn't do much back then
Maximilian Overdraft, Esq.
Francis 🏴☠️ Gulotta@sjvn Yes but it was rough until keystone display kernel mods were released
Noah W.
Todd@sjvn Yes. Probably because this is kind of thing that I used to get up to while waiting for that god-damned slow process. 😐.

Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@sjvn I see what you did there!

That's the type of thing Arch Linux was discovered in right?

Deborah Pickett@sjvn Oh, I never realized `cat` is short for "catenary".
Melissa BearTrix 🏳️⚧️@sjvn I want to see someone sitting on top ... Giggles
It shouldn't collapse ... Fingers crossed

Os etruscos iniciaram a contrução de arcos, mas não é bem este caso.

TeflonTrout@sjvn Well, it's certainly easier than getting a whole community together to install a 'buntu distro
Kevin Karhan 
Sternwarte Vach (Andy)@sjvn this looks like a roentgen-portal 😄
Michael Gurski@sjvn wait until you see how we did the Debian swirl...
Martin Vogel
64kb@sjvn reminds me of the portal made of friend chicken boxes in the film Essex Space Bin
Pepijn Schmitz@sjvn So _this_ is what the keystone correction control is for...
@sjvn (yeah somebody else already did it but I had to get it out...)
adorfer@sjvn i miss the old loadlin days!
WWSchoof 📯@sjvn it‘s so beautiful
dskzero@sjvn don't you use this method anymore?
Trolley@sjvn No wonder I used to hear it was harder to install than Ubuntu!
Chris Burton@sjvn nice monarch!
Felix DF3LX@sjvn But of course with plasma!
@sjvn It was verry hard .... At thé end, broken
Ursidinoj/The Bjornsdottirs@sjvn No, not at all.
I would sooner believe you used a typewriter
dear blind viewers: there's 12 CRT monitors arranged in a self-supporting arch on a carpet floor. It's a visual pun.
David Erik Nelson🪬@sjvn ugh. YES! I remember having to sort through the monitor bins, searching for the keystone CRT with just the right shape. Honestly, these youngbloods got no notion how easy they’ve got it nowadays.
Pepi the Fox 
@sjvn ah but is it Gothic or Roman arch Linux?
GreenSkyOverMe (Monika)@sjvn Bildbeschreibung: Alte dicke Monitore zu einem Bogen gestapelt
damnfinecoffee@sjvn is this a boss from armored core 6?
Robert Petersen 
@sjvn did you have to crouch through the portal when it comes up
David Cohen@sjvn That’s actually a picture of the first prototype MRI machine. To assemble the scan you had to take a Polaroid of each monitor’s screen and then shuffle them all around on a table.
katrina@sjvn How are you going to dismantle that without the thing collapsing? 😱
