  • Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.

    I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.

    This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.







  • I have a pi with a hifi berry hooked up to my stereo. It runs mpd and mounts my music over nfs from my server.

    I have a few ways to play music:

    1. I have an RFID reader and have a bunch of RFID cards with artwork printed on them. Tapping the reader causes that album to play
    2. I also wrote a simple web server in elixir + live phoenix so I can select and control stuff using a tablet or phone.

    The wife and kids love the RFID cards.
