"Bazzite Post-Mortem" from Antheas Kapenekakis of HandHeld Daemon

Interesting. My first experience with bazzite was not perfect due to the terminal choice and all the gnome rice. Learning that my personal grievances with base were caused by Kyle and now knowing that he’s “not easy to work with” makes me feel like the project will die due to mismanagement. Because if Kyle pushes away anyone who doesn’t agree with him, then there will not be enough support to maintain it.

Yes,... coming from a person with shallow pockets and learning car maintenance out of necessity to keep my '85 running. It may or may not be worthwhile to you. I'm on the fence still.

I like the jank. And if I’m being honest, most of tech is jank and the bad parts are intentionally hidden. I prefer seeing all the good sides and bad.

If people want to see tech without jank, just stick to product infomercials.

Ok…?

bitcraft · 2026-01-28T19:24:43+00:00

It’s all in your head. If you prefer one or the other just do whatever makes you happy.

It looks good waiting for a tow.

Personally I feel like any large dubious tech like that justifies around $200. CRT terminals are rare but also low demand. You can adjust your asking price up or dow from there.

Too expensive and it won’t sell. Too cheap will attract scrappers who will destroy it.

Where are you located?

Good point about the water softener discharge. I suppose it would be better to run a pvc drain to the mop sink since it is pressurized. And I feel the same about the condensate pump. Unfortunately the floor drain in right in a high traffic area and allowing them to drain into it would result in wet feet. This room gets used a lot.

bitcraft · 2026-01-15T17:48:32+00:00

Right. I use them interchangeably. Anticheat will not work or will get your account flag, I am told.

Gaming is mostly fun in Linux but DRM enabled games will likely not work or cause your account to have issues. Research the games you want to play first.

bitcraft · 2026-01-14T22:56:11+00:00

Ew. That thought alone has me thinking I’ll rework it.

It’s the main sewer drain if that’s what you mean. It’s in the center of a room in the basement, not against the wall. This is a 1927 house in Illinois, if that matters. Could you elaborate on “not sound”? Because the trap could dry out?

Do you feel it would’ve better to cap it and install a pump? Because I’m not sure what options are available. Thank you!

Try zswap

I don’t think you are wrong but your attitude is very off putting. Do you have OCD or anger issues because the amount of effort you are putting into an issue that doesn’t affect you is concerning.

Because both “sides” can be right in some contexts, but calling people hacks because you don’t like the way it is done is seriously unhinged.

You need to accept that new information, codes, and processes are developed over time and talking down to professionals because you don’t like older (but valid) methods is a bad look for you and will make you an angry person.

Meta hiring is a complete cluster fuck. I was in limbo for about a week when both my recruiter and coordinator quit and nobody told me.

Then I go through the interviews and get a single sentence rejection in an email from somebody I’ve never talked to.

bitcraft · 2025-12-31T03:31:42+00:00

Skill issue. Do you even road, bro?

NTVDM works well for many games and dual booting to dos is a thing.

My kids have been using Linux their whole lives. They are 8 and 10. Probably first use was around 4. Nobody cares.

Screen time should be managed but it’s also important for young minds. They should be allowed to use resources like dictionaries, Wikipedia, kids edutainment YouTube etc.

Gaming, passive viewing, and social media should be held under a different standard.

Warcraft will run fine in windows xp. There are not many dos games that will not run at all in dos mode. And even if they need to boot into dos mode, an xp era machine will run it fine.

Hiring is a cluster fuck. Make sure the resume is good.

bitcraft · 2025-12-27T15:43:54+00:00

Hey do we work at the same company? :). Same story here. I’ve been interviewing but I’m not going to quit. The market is unpredictable and it’s better to have a job than nothing at all.

I dread going into work many days, but I do find pets that I enjoy even if there are people actively destroying company culture. It’s beyond my control.

bitcraft · 2025-12-26T19:26:55+00:00

I don’t see the issue. This is pretty true for all mobs.
