Thanks for the info!

It's definitely still active, Praise "Bob". Idk about the dependancies though.

You want sewage? You sign up for sewage. Everybody who does, has a week assigned where they must do the necessary maintainance for that utility.

So I'm supposed to learn everything about sewer maintinence before this week, or are we throwing untrained people at critical infrastructure simply because they want to use it? And what then if I also want food, transportation, a computer, cat food, smokeables, drinkables, shelter, etc? Do I have to become an expert in all of those things too and work in those to get food, shelter, etc? Have to churn butter for a week if I want access to the butter store, and make bread for a week to get access to the bread lines, then I can make toast?

Personally I'd prefer if there was some way to make what I make or do what I do, exchange those items or services for some thing with an agreed upon value, which I can in turn take to the store and trade for bread and butter.

Mmmmmm my torrents say otherwise. Can't stop me! Shit like this is why I torrent unless you've got tapes or wax for me.

I think I will soon, thanks for the pep talk lol, I legit did need it! I think that even if the process is a little tough, it's possible that the product brings me Slack. Hell maybe I'll like the process too, who knows, learning can bring Slack sometimes too!

"Stuff" should be a compression tool, you tar it, then gz it, then stuff it down even further into tar.gz.stuff

I actually am interested partly because of their history, the creator is of the same religion as I am and his creation was announced in like '94 on the old Hour Of Slack radio show affiliated with said religion. In fact, Slackware is a direct nod to our concept of Slack, and there's even pics of our guru J. R. "Bob" Dobbs on the slackware site in the banners section. I know it isn't dead because 15 came out earlier this year (or was it late last year?) so they must be active and not dead, just hard to find lol.

Thanks for the advice, I'll maybe try it on an old asus I use mainly for booting tails on soon. That's the only device I have with windows for emergencies and nothing I have is powerful enough to run VMs I don't think, but tbh that windows install barely works and I haven't needed it in two years, so "fuck it," right?

How hard is it? I really want to try Slackware one day but I'm not the most adept at linux yet. Really only have experience with Fedora, Tails, Puppy, and antix so far.

Hard to find people to ask about it, as you said because of the smaller userbase. I did look yesterday though and there are some youtube videos on slackware 15 set up, so I may be ok with those. Still kinda nervous lol.

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.

Fair, the community is usually the one to help with that, when I did research before installing they told me that non free drivers like nvidia or broadcom would present an additional challenge and told me how to fix it, so I guess I knew going in and didn't consider people not doing that first.

Haha only you can make that decision, it's a 70's porn parody of Flash Gordon, there is sex and nudity but it's honestly pretty tame compared to today's porn. It's more silly than anything, silly with boobies.

Not streaming, torrented it. I think it's on Soulseek but I can't check rn.
