ok so I got this old core 2 duo machine, you know, a modern x64 intel computer. the Fedora 43 live usb doesn't boot on it, grub says something has a bad sector. but the same live usb works just fine on another computer, and i reimaged the usb drive just in case and it's still misbehaving. I don't think I'm gonna get this working, but I would be interested to know if Fedora dropped backwards compat with non-uefi systems or something like that
@aeva it could require a 32bit UEFI boot loader. I have that on an old Mac mini with a Core 2 Duo

I'm also fantasizing about making my own live USB distro for mollytime, so if anyone knows anything about how to make a custom live linux distro, 🤙

@pupxel i mean like one with a gui and sound

@aeva it has instructions all the way to installing steam :3

@aeva oh wow.
The next thing I'd try is probably GRML (which has the big advantage that if it doesn't boot, the developers want to fix it).
Might also be that the UEFI interface is not fully compliant, that machine is probably from a time when vendors were still learning.
@GyrosGeier I don't think this machine has a "uefi"

@pupxel I'll keep that in my back pocket for the next time I feel like I have too much free time 😅

@aeva if you want to take the shorter route and modify an existing distro, everyone should have instructions for that, ubuntu's at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto

@accela that'll do. can you bring it over here?
@accela alternatively, how does one do that

@GyrosGeier do you think a CD installer work or would that be basically the same problem again? is that still a thing?

@GyrosGeier I just checked, the options are @efi, non-efi, and "auto"

Qui ce ne volevan due, uno x senso di marcia.
La dimensione è giusta, per far passare le ambulanze, certo così passano anche i suv... ma la coperta è corta

just realized. since block game's terrain is going to be finite*, i could conceivably solve the distant terrain issue by simply slowly generating all of the chunks (and LoDs) in the background over time 🤔

@ju @matz vi lego da lontano ma vi sento vicinissimo. Qui, con centinaia di morti alla'schiena, ancora la destra rimane votata e nel governo mentre alla sinistra dibatono come fare per no dare troppo fastidio al votante conservatore invece di fare programa e politiche veramente da progresso senza paura

Finché questi numeri non saranno al centro del dibattito politico, difficile che l'affluenza cresca.

@oxyhyxo @denial403 I wish that FTTH could reach my house ASAP. I can see the box in front of my window, but there's still one last step they have to do under a road.
It's ok to have issues - all the providers have. But this lack of communication is puzzling me. No information in the status page, no reply to my ticket, nothing. That's the scary part.
This is a secondary VM, it's not a problem, but what if it was a primary dedicated? Ok, I have my disaster recovery plan but still...

Okay we're well enough to do some more soft admin today- trying not to exhaust my brain, so the one big thing we're gonna do today is upgrade our PMP plugin to get the priority support.
If I'm gonna be stuck with pci and have to talk to plugin devs whenever the scanner flags stuff, I may as well make sure I have a direct line to them.
