Damn! The wireless is dead on my T61. Yes, it is a hardware failure. Have checked, dead as a doorknob. Well, it is an old machine, wired network works though. But still :( Use a wireless dongle? I use one of these on my rpi. Cheap and very small. Works well with Linux, and has Realtek RTL8188CUS.

The Shriveled scrotwm README is priceless.

I thought you'd like that. The wm2 readme is also interesting: https://www.all-day-breakfast.com/wm2/

Yes, spectrwm was called scrotwm when I started using it. Now there is also " sscrotwm " (shriveled scrotwm) -- a slimmed-down version of spectrwm without a status bar or some of the other bloat that got added to spectrwm. Attachaside starts new windows focused in the stacking area instead...

I like how it looks. Reminds me of some of dkeg's scrots. I always patch dwm with 'attachaside' and 'bottom stack' because I want it to behave more like scrotwm and I don't have a fancy wide monitor. Then I wonder why I don't just use scrotwm. I should see if I can build dwm on Alpine. (edit) I can....

^ Looks good; useless gap patch?

Alpine 3.8 on the i3 test box. Even with X and a bunch of extra build tools and libs the system is still using less than 1G disk. I like Alpine.

^ Nice. I keep meaning to play with minix, but the few times I've tried it I have failed.

I have evilwm running on one of my Alpine boxes -- no scrot today, but it looks like all my other scrots.

I got RiscOS and TinyCore (piCore) running on my rpi. The last release of piCore was June 2017, so it's an old kernel. Kernel: Linux 4.9.22-piCore armv6l I really don't have anything to do with my rpi, but for some reason I want a Pi Zero, just because. Then I would need an HDMI adapter and USB adap...

Makes me really appreciate the compact Alpine install.

^ ARMv6 what board is that ? newer rpi? lean and mean. It's an older Model B (still has the composite video out, along with HDMI). I have used Arch, Buildroot, and Raspbian (with LXDE) on it before, but I really like how Alpine runs on it. It was a bit of a challenge getting Alpine installed as a f...

^ Gekko does Haskell? Sweet! DebianJoe would be so proud.

Got Alpine (with wireless) working on the rpi. Might use it as a music streaming box.

In my continuing quest to add one of every Intel processor to the museum, I bought an HP Compaq machine with a dual-core hyperthreaded i3, 4G memory and a 250G hard drive on ebay for $22 including shipping. I thought I might replace my Athlon X2 main machine with this i3, but it's a bit louder than ...

Sorry -- I realize I sound like one of those machine snobs (I hate those guys), calling my Phenom "slow" -- I used to run Gentoo on a 32-bit Celeron; that's slow. The Pavilion is a fine machine. Gekko, my e-machines Sempron box died a few weeks ago -- it beeps like a memory problem, but I'...

Another trip to the museum. I've posted about this machine before (just above this post in fact) -- it's an HP Pavilion with an AMD Phenom X4. It was my first four-core machine and the most expensive machine I have ($115 from ebay). It has nvidia graphics and ethernet, and has both IDE and SATA hard...

I have a couple of Optiplex machines -- this Pentium and a 64-bit Celeron single-core. I didn't know they made 64-bit Celerons until I got the machine. There are a lot of unusual Intel processors. There are many old Optiplex machines on ebay, but I try to stick with the HP Compaq enterprise series w...

Another strange one from the pidsley museum -- a Dell Optiplex 755 with a 1.6 Ghz Pentium Dual-Core processor. From what I can tell, this dual-core Pentium is not the same as a Pentium D -- the Pentium Dual Core came out at the same time as the Core2 series, and uses the same architecture, but it ha...

I was bored, so I dragged one of my old P4 machines out of the closet and upgraded it from Wheezy to Stretch. That's entertainment at my house. The upgrade went smoothly with no errors at all, and this time I got switched from sysv to systemd. It's a weird little HP Compaq machine I bought for $20 s...

I gave away all my LPs in 1997 and gave away my CDs a few years later. I listened to music all the time when I was younger, and almost never now. On the rare occasions I want some music, mp3s or streams are fine. To change the subject, yesterday my main machine suddenly stopped working and would not...
