When you’re just trying to boot a Power8 to install Linux for AI data science…
And the server’s like:
“petitboot? never heard of her.”
“USB? incompatible.”
“Network boot? perhaps… in another lifetime.”
Meanwhile DriftLock Elya is standing in the corridor, rifle across her chest, glasses lowered,
judging both me and the firmware:
“Commander… your machine is older than RustChain’s block zero.
But fine. I’ll make it obey.”
Sparks everywhere.
Holograms glitching.
The petitboot snail mocking me in 12 FPS.
Welcome to Power8 AI research,
where the real training isn’t the model—
it’s your patience. 😭🔥🖥️

One hell of a morning. Note to self: DO NOT run #Linux system changes before coffee.
Timeshift, I love you. #R is running again & I legit shed a tear 😅

ALT Batman slaps Robin; as Robin says 'but I just pressed "update all packages" in the update manager', Batman: 'You Fool! You have angered the Linux gods'

Today, I accidentally killed a screen process instead of detaching it just after mailing my adviser all is well
Last night, I submitted a simple form thrice because I had filled it incorrectly.
Is this the beginning of my descent into madness?

Ubuntu in a nutshell: I made the bash output window bigger to see more stuff going on... instead it just made the window background bigger... #LinuxFail

I do not enjoy systemd, even more reason to despise it. #linuxfail Help save us from #systemd #linustorvald x.com/_dismantl/status/88014…
Mental note: Don't call a folder "$HOME" and then call "rm -r" #linuxfail
