So tonight, I was looking for something in a drawer, and I stumble upon my Samsung NC10 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_…), a netbook that I bought while studying.
I totally forgot what I was looking for, and instead, I decided to check this old piece of equipment, that is now 16 or 17 years old!
It was installed with some old and unmaintained #Fedora with a dual boot #haikuos installation.
I wiped the disk, and installed #mxlinux . I had to manually create the partitions because the installer would fail to automatically partition the disk.
After that step, the installation went smoothly. Did a system update after first boot, and oh boy, did the two DKMS packages took ages to compile. So after the update was done, and before rebooting, I uninstalled broadcom-sta-dkms and rtl8812au-dkms, because there is no hardware requiring these modules in the netbook.
So this little netbook is still functional, but I must admit, I don’t really know what to do with it:
* the screen resolution of 1024x600 is really on the low end,
* the 2 cores, 32 bits, Atom CPU is really not that fast.

Day 2 with NetBSD is proving challenging, but now that the basic pieces are in place, I've been able to get the core applications I need and added some functionality.
I've got office software, e-mail, text editing, a music player (and volume control!), and I can restart/shutdown from within Xfce. It's been a busy day of getting things sorted, but I feel like it'll be easier from this point.

Uno dei miei rimpianti è di non essere mai entrato in un centro sociale. Non ho la più pallida idea di come fosse lì dentro.
Però ho letto e sentito cose, e un centro sociale me l'immagino come un ritrovo di gente un po' strana, con idee un po' strane, e la voglia di starsene lontana da un mondo di squali.
Persone strane, sì, ma che se si facesse come dicono loro alla fine in questo mondo staremmo tutti un po' meglio.

The video showcases a detailed process of flushing a transmission. It begins with a close-up view of a transmission pan placed on a workbench, with a gear shift lever positioned next to it. A hand is seen operating the gear shift, moving it through various positions. Water is being poured into the transmission pan from a red hose, creating a foamy mixture as it fills. The background features a textured wall with a light source casting a blue and yellow hue, and a workbench with tools and a control panel. The hand continues to manipulate the gear shift while water flows into the pan, indicating a thorough cleaning process. The video concludes with the transmission pan filled with water, and the gear shift lever in a neutral position, highlighting the completion of the flushing process.

La imagen muestra una mano con uñas pintadas de un color morado oscuro, siendo sometida a una luz ultravioleta en una unidosis de manicura. La mano está extendida sobre una superficie curva, típica de una unidosis, que emite una luz blanca y azul brillante. La luz ultravioleta se utiliza para endurecer el esmalte de uñas, asegurando que se seque y se adhiera correctamente. En la parte superior de la unidosis, se puede ver un panel digital que muestra un número, indicando el tiempo restante o la intensidad de la luz. La imagen está enfocada en la mano y la unidosis, con un fondo oscuro que resalta la luz y la mano.

Io amo interagire. Ma amo molto meno quando da una mia frase si estrapola un discorso (presunto) attribuendole significati che non ha e si entra a gamba tesa facendo discorsi che non c'entrano nulla, a mio parere per soddisfare un qualche bisogno onanistico.
