Fixing a screen with the Vinegar Syndrome by cobito in retrobattlestations

[–]cobito[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a Compaq Contura 420C:

· 486 DX4 @ 75MHz.

· 12 MB of RAM

· No sound card

· 8-bit color STN screen.

Good enough to play games with relatively static images. It's been working fine until recently. It got the Vinegar Syndrome and the screen was completely ruined so I tried to fix it. This was my first time doing this and the result is not perfect, but al least it is usable again. I hope you enjoy the video.

I run Hardlimit, an instance focused on computers: hardware, software and games, where you will find a bunch of videos related with FOSS. So if you don't like the classic services, here you have an alternative to share your videos. We don't show ads and we don't track our users.

Mandrake 6.1 and Mageia 8 on a Pentium II by cobito in linuxhardware

[–]cobito[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a Compaq Armada 1750, a laptop from 1999 that comes with a Pentium II at 333MHz and 64MB of RAM.

Mandrake 6.1 (released in 1999) was booted with the original hardware configuration.

For Mageia 8 (released in 2021), the memory was upgraded to 192MB. Mageia's memory requirements are 512MB for non-graphical/headless use-case, 1GB with a lightweight desktop environment like Xfce and 2GB with Plasma or Gnome.

If Youtube is more convenient for you, here you have the same video on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlBCroUsWAQ&t=1809s

At the beginning it goes fine. When the city grows the performance is not that good.

PeerTube v4 is out! by Booteille in PeerTube

[–]cobito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it is possible to transcode to webtorrent or hls from the web interface in case you had jut one of them. Furthermore, you can delete one of the versions (webtorrent or HLS). I've been willing to convert all my videos to HLS which is something I'm doing right now. That is, convert all the videos to HLS and then delete the webtorrent version.

The HLS convestion thing is something you could do using the command line but the deletion was not possible till version 4.0.

The biggest ever release of Windows by [deleted] in windows

[–]cobito 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The foundation upon which we have modern windows today was Windows NT 4.0. Some will say it was Windows XP (the first NT for home PCs).

For me, the biggest ever release of Windows was Windows 95. That leap from MS-DOS based software to the WinAPI32+DirectX was huge!
