@halcy CPUs haven't been slow for a very long time and now they're crazy fast. you really have to go out of your way to get a dog shit CPU now
@aeva I have a CPU on the dashboard of my car like just as a fidget toy and it's like a 2ghz dual core. I considered selling it on ebay when I took the computer it was in apart but it literally would be more in postage to do so than the thing is worth, if someone even wants it

@halcy there's basically no good reason for this machine to be obsolete, except that infosec researchers are keeping the trash gyre alive with shit like this

@halcy hehe I used to have a pair of ram sticks hanging from the rear mirror like a pair of fuzzy dice

@aeva Pretty sure in this era they applied the Pentium or Celeron branding to the low-cost parts, and the Core 2 Duo branding to the high-cost parts
@swiftcoder I just found a chart on wikipedia that confirms this: E7xxx and E8xxx would have been Core 2 Duo, higher would have been Xeon, and lower was pentium and celeron. so this would not have been sold as a core 2 duo
-
ah, it's an Intel Pentium E5800 "wolfdale" processor, so either I am mistaken about it being a Core 2 Duo or it is one and the branding is just confusing, but either way wikipedia dates this somewhere between 2008 and 2012. I would have purchased this either late 2011 or 2012 because I remember buying it to celebrate getting a job at Creative Commons
@aeva says here it's a Pentium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor)#Wolfdale-3M

ok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor) has a handy little chart that explains intel's branding for this processor generation. the E5800 was sold as a "pentium" and not a "core 2 duo", so this is actually a *lower end* processor than I thought 😎

@ruojake I just found that as well XD

I need to find a more dog shit computer to figure out where exactly the perf wall is. Maybe this means there's a riscv port in mollytime's future.

@aeva too great for a Celeron, too flawed to join the Cores 2 Duo, forever cursed

@aeva Currently the "dogshit wall" is #i486SX because #Linux dropped support for #i386 with Versions
3.4.99&3.6.9respectably, tho most people would say anything below #amd64 w/ #SSE2 (or #i686) is out of #mainstream support already, with #RHEL6 being EoL'd & #Debian being the last major distros offering #32bit support. -

@aeva
```
emerge -avt gentoo-sources
eselect kernel list
eselect kernel set <n>
genkernel all
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```it's something like this, I think

@ki ah that fixed it, thanks!

i'm trying and failing to find a screenshot of the part of chrono trigger where Lucca says to Marle "Machines aren't capable of evil... humans make them that way", but it turns out there's a lot of fan art of that scene, which is nice.
anyways, computers aren't slow... it's programmers that make them that way

@pupxel so, no, but I have been pondering on and off whether or not it might be worth it to try to port mollytime to dreamcast

@aeva Sometimes the lack of programmers make them slow.
As in: I don't have the time to optimise because I already have to do all the work in the first place

@pupxel probably not XD

@shinmera look as long as your not dumping everything inside react/electron you're probably on the good side of the curve

@elettrona it could cause some time, because the `Accept` will be sent vie WP_Cron.

Ho visto un bel posto con una bella cascata, il muschio, una pace... In onore dei tempi che corrono, ho sfasciato tutto con un martello pneumatico e ho costruito un angolo cementificato per le grigliate e il rutto libero

@elettrona oh! from a mastodon server?
(I forgot to mention that I played around with vernissage)

@francommit che è successo?

What was my brain doing at 4am?
Um, pondering that 'sir' is a good gender-free honorific given that it's derived from sire, which is used for monarchs of any gender--essentially, "you're like royalty to me"--while any masculine tone it has comes from the British monarchy's primogeniture rules, which don't really apply here, but set up a subversive sense of both 'you deserve all the privilege given to men in society' while evoking the dichotomy of...
Wait, why? What was YOURS doing at 4am?

@pfefferle@mastodon.social @mczachurski @activitypub.blog I was already following the @activitypub.blog one, but the @pfefferle@notiz.blog not. Instantly it says I'm following; then returns to pending request. Seems like something on federation doesn't work. Check logs, and maybe server's date. I bumped with my head against the wall multiple times before detecting that my vps server's date was one hour earlier than current real date.
