KuroSo I received some webcam blockers in the mail today, and wasted no time in using them on my devices. I felt great until I realized that I had just covered up THREE video cameras in my *bedroom*. Including one that I take with me everywhere I go.
Now I just feel... tainted lol
Now that I've got the #scumbaglappy up and running (and customised to the nth degree) I've decided to take a crack at learning some code on the raspberry pi
dazrafIf you want a revolution, make sure you know what it’s for, and not merely against.
Good lesson from previous revolutions.
selfcare.techDid you do anything to take care of yourself today?
Now that the #scumbaglappy is up and running, configured the way I like it, has all the programs I want installed... I'm bored :(
Today I unearthed the very first USB thumb drive I ever bought; 512MB! And it still works!
I was trying to get a photo of it while the read/write LED was flashing, but because of its small size all the operations I tried to get it to flash were completed so quickly that I couldn't catch it lol
So I removed the branding from the #scumbaglappy today.
Because it's not a Dell any more; it's a SCUMBAG (TM).
Looks quite good having just a clean circle on the back. Might still cover it with a sticker anyway.
Make it ugly. Make it work. Make it yours.
So, that was fun. After a couple of hours XFCE looks and functions mostly like Cinnamon did straight out of the box. Some things are still missing though; system sounds, ability to remap capslock to mute, other minor things.
The upside is that it''s easier on the RAM than Cinnamon.
Normally not an issue, but I'm working with the #scumbaglappy
That's a testament to the power of Linux - breathing new life into old (shitty, broken, cheap) hardware.
So just as I get everything set up exactly the way I like it, I find that Cinnamon keeps maxing out the RAM on my Scumbag laptop... all 2G of it 😐
So now I've had to install XFCE instead. The online consensus seems to be that it's awesome once it's customized, but we'll see. It's definitely much more lightweight, that's for sure.
