       @realcaseyrollins @snacks Answering that question would involve science so advanced that it would disprove 20 years of console "gamer's" facts and observations. Therefore it is impossible to answer.:clueless:

       @Cocoa Likely a zoomie larping as millenial. Building old pc setups has been a thing for like two decades already, only popularised by LGR and recently Action :mokouVomit: Retro.

       @sun @Cocoa @coolboymew There's BlueSCSI SD-card adapter which I think works with the original Macintosh. And for floppies, the FloppyEmu has been a thing for years  on Macintoshes as well.

       @mangeurdenuage @Cocoa @coolboymew @sun Old hardware is very picky with IDE<->SATA adapters. Most of them can't do ATAPI.

       @sun @Cocoa @coolboymew How are the temps on that P4 with that heatsink? My Pentium D would fry itself alive with that within a minute.

       Funny how suckless software is universally shat on by neverclankers, DeVault orbiters and people generally pushing the linux phones. But somehow if you slap a different name on the same software, add some patches and host it on Sourcehut, it's suddenly kosher.

       @graf If you need some more safety guarantees without shooting yourself with undefined behavior and can stomach the stupidly long compilation times, then go ahead and use it. Issue is that in most cases where those guarantees really matter, the software also pulls 100+ of random packages that shouldn't even exist. So you exchanged safety guarantees for trusting hundreds of packages to not be compromised instead.

       @Ree @Cocoa @coolboymew @sun If they ask more than 60 USD, it's likely not worth it. The prices became so inflated recently even for completely generic hardware in the recent years that it's not worth it. If you wanna play with old OSes, use 86Box for everything up to the Win9X era, and a normal VM from that point onward. In the case of 86Box, it's almost 100% as with the hardware in your hands, except it's not.

       @Ree @Cocoa @coolboymew @sun Like for example I bought a decommissioned Leninovo ThinkCenter M55 with a Pentium D ~16 years ago I think for ~15 USD. Now that completely unremarkable space heater of a box that is useless for anything more than some simple CAD on WinXP apparently goes for around 120USD or more on ebay without shipping. It's ridiculous.

       @WandererUber @graf The correctness is mostly just a Rust cult cope. The compiler guarantees almost perfect memory safety and no undefined behavior outside of unsafe code blocks. It doesn't prevent any kind of logic bugs or bad handling of errors whatsoever.

       @kirby @histoire3 You can do centralized-ish package distribution and still make it mostly sane. Hex would be an example of that. In general package managers for languages encourage importing libraries for completely mundane things, which is one of the big reasons why npm and cargo are one of the worst. PyPi's wheel support and allowing shipping binaries in general are also a large problem. If you disalow shipping binaries in/as packages, you get rid of circular dependencies which plague npm and Python to such regard that you can't build certain buildsystems without downloading previous binaries of said buildsystems.
