    Nine Inch Nails - Closer

    Hoobastank - Inside of You

    Blood Hound Gang - The Bad Touch

    Blood Hound Gang - The Ballad of Chasey Lain

    Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

    …off the top of my head

    Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix - Fire is, contrary to popular belief, not about this topic. The lyrics are quite literal in nature, telling the story about how he was visiting his band mate’s mothers house on new years eve and he was cold as fuck. The “Move over, rover, let Jimi take over”-line is because there was a German Sheperd in front if the fireplace.







  • I’ll TLDR the answers you’ve gotten already: Stick to systemd. It works.

    …because beyond that I think the debate of systemd is mostly astrology at this point: Systemd is basically what handles startup and monitoring of services on your PC. It has largely replaced the older initd on most systems.

    Systemd was somewhat controversial when it was first adopted by many distros as it was seen as bloated compared to initd, plus it was a fundamental shift in how services were handled.

    Today it is a mature system and while it still has its detractors, I think it mainly comes down to astrology and elitism. Personally I’ve used both for ages, and it’s fine. So was initd. I just wish DNS wasn’t rolled into systemd, but I don’t care that hard, though.










  • Probably around the same time I managed to find a used 386 for sale cheaply, and I bought it. I could play some of the early greats such as Dune 2, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, while others were playing CD ROM games such as Red Alert.

    But I didn’t care because I was still having fun, and lack of too many distractions allowed me to dive deeply into the fundamentals. When they moved on to the next cool game, I taught myself turbo Pascal and played with the serial ports and an old AT modem.

    A few years later I got myself a 166MHz (MMX!) and got properly online (IRC, ICQ, etc) along with the rest and they had a hard time understanding how I was immediately so much better at understanding “their” stuff from the start than they ever would be.
