Pick up an old computer from out of the trash
Put Puppy Linux in and give it a bash
On disc or USB stick, just give it a whirl
Now it's a brand new computer, it's out of this world!

just heard about wikigacha which turns the entirety of wikipedia into a TCG and while I can't ignore how the thing seems to be vibe coded as hell I also can't replicate the feeling of pulling hydrocodone

I think I got far enough down the pipeline to actually attempt to do something with said jigdo file but the files that it points to don't exist anymore so I just threw my hands up and now I'm contending with dialup tier internet archive speeds just to download DVD images of debian 3.1
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
me, maybe an hour ago: "I should install an old version of debian in a VM, it would be cool I think"
me, now: "what the hell is a jigdo"
