@Gina At the very least, you can't say it ultimately came down to a lack of protein sources.

@Gina and fiber is the new protein, what will come next?

@Gina So true, as a Canadian this was the final straw; protein infused Mac n' Cheese: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kraft-dinner-protein-9.7136154
There is no punishment great enough for this heinous act.

@Gina fucking hell I can't get the stuff down. During chemo they recommend all the extra protein stuff. Please, just give me the regular food and drinks without the extra protein. Especially with all senses being messed up, it all tastes like *just * protein and nothing else. Sorry, I got triggered - end rant 🙃

Behold: A house! (I have trained a local model that tries to draw SVGs of basic shapes. I'd say things are going great.)

Reviving a Cursed Sun SPARCstation IPX
SPARCstation IPX running Solaris 2.6. (Credit: This Does Not Compute, YouTube)
The best part about retro computing is the idea that you’ll save some poor system from being scrapped and revive it to a working state, at which point you can bask in the glory of a job well done. That’s when reality often strikes hard, and you find yourself troubleshooting a maddening list of issues as you question everything about your life choices. Such was the case with [This Does Not Compute] over at YouTube with a Sun SPARCstation IPX that decided to put up a big fight.This is the second video of a series. In the first installment, the PSU was repaired, and a boot failure was diagnosed. The system’s onboard diagnostic led to the assumption that one of the 8 kB SRAM ICs was defective. You can readily get SRAM replacements, so it seemed to be an easy fix. Unfortunately, the fun was only beginning as the system reported the exact same error after the SRAM was replaced.
After flipping a virtual table, the mainboard was swapped with a donor one from a scrapped laptop system. With this, it booted, but the video output showed only vertical lines. Obviously, the solution here was to insert a replacement video card, which not only fixed the display output but also demonstrates once again that you can fix many vintage computing issues by simply replacing hardware.
With the system now seemingly happy, a disk drive was added so that Solaris 2.3 could be installed. This turned into another confusing job. Getting into the GUI was seemingly impossible. Ergo, this virtual table got flipped, too, and Solaris 2.6 was installed. Finally, the system got to the desktop GUI. At this point it was clear that this 40 MHz mid-range SPARCstation from 1991 is no speed monster. Just drawing windows was slower than an X11 remote session over 9600 baud dial-up.
Installing more RAM might have helped here, but the system requires parity FP RAM, which could have been purchased, but at some point, you have to decide how much money you want to throw at an old system like this. Although these are still pretty interesting systems in their own right, it should be clear that they are not easy systems to repair or maintain.
