       Meanwhile, Debian netinstall image grew to 750 MB.No, it won't fit the mini CD anymore.

       @contaminase So....that moment has finally arrived.   Well, now I may as well just burn the DVD.

       @peteorrall who would have thought it would be relevant... I merely reflected how back in 2011, being young and innocent and trying Linux for the very first time, it was Debian 5 netinstall image burned on a mini CD.

       @contaminase@bsd.cafe @peteorrall@bsd.cafeIn the early 2000s free software developers have been taking pride in Linux being able to run on anything — I remember a guy finding an old ATM on the side of the road and picking it up just to run Debian on it 🤩Nowadays they embrace AVX-512 making even relatively recent CPUs obsolete 🥺
