It's been a while Finally i'm back I've lost some markdown sources of the blog, so pretty much everything from May 2022 was restored from scratch Hope that this will not happen again [British masterpiece] that shows corruption and stupidness of top-end bureaucrats and lying propaganda statistics. Films also expose true and forgotten heroes of the time. It also features: realistic narration very solid acting atmospheric ambient soundtrack ENTRANCE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST EPISODE

[Big Bang Theory] shows how to do comedy in a proper way. Excellent sitcom. Story line holds up pretty well. Overall scenario and actor cues are just brilliant. Sense of humor is universal with glimpses of geek related stuff. Main disadvantage is permanent backdrop laugh. I wonder is there any chance to get version without “wonderful” pointer when to laugh and when not? One more downside that I’ve noticed: complete absence of music.

Some randrom street graffiti near Moscow suburbs. Found art at abandoned house. Enjoy!

After [atrocious Walking Dead] run into [bloody brilliant Spartacus] . Produced by [Sam Raimi] , the same guy who created classic Evil Dead series. Movie brings excellent story line with very solid acting. Ultra atmospheric [soundtrack by Joseph LoDuca] and overall design aestetics are also present. Legendary and ridiculously underrated TV-series, aesthetics of motion picture far exceeds most of TV-series and enters area of quality full-length movie. Spartacus is a real drama, showing what is a “humanity” in a nutshell.

Stop using mainstream operating systems like Windows 11/10/8.1, modern Linux, like Ubuntu or modern MacOS versions. On mobile Android 14/13/12/11/10/9/8.1 are prohibited because they use neural networks to profile your device and dial back to “home” to dump your personal data and preferences. iOS from very beginning was very phony platform. My personal choices are Windows 7 for desktop and Android 8.0 for mobile. These two cover my digital needs fully, no restrictions whatsoever.

As you already know i fed up using [modern Ryzen/Radeon hardware] and decided to go a bit retro. Cheap Chinese clone mobos and second-hand high-performance cpu’s of previous generations induced me to rebuild my workstation and also fool around with Opteron-based server.
Here is [very detailed spreadsheet comparision] of almost all available Chinese x79/x89/x99 boards on the market.

Just watched 9.5 out of 11 episodes of this [zombie soap opera] . Oh, my! What a waste! Lil’ breakdown of main key features: interesting story-line at the beginning, but rapidly degrading into repeating marasmic rave [end of episode 8 is a peak of delirium] frequent meaningless dialogs diluted by zombie cameos low quality acting is a frequent thing also [hi goes out to captain Karl, boy with dumb sheriff hat permanently glued directly to his head, later on was replaced by little girl with the same hat] after disappearance of Rick [main character], series completely lost meaning of existence Highly encourage you not to repeat my mistake and do something useful instead of wasting time on this “masterpiece”!

This is a second revision of question “Why your blog doesn’t have commentary section?” and “How do you come up with such stupid decision?” First one is [here] . Once again, i don’t see any convincing point, which forces me to incorporate comments section. Reasons not to do this: overwhelming amount of AD spam-robots to fight with overwhelming amount of political/propaganda human flame wars to resolve overwhelming amount of nonsense/emoji commentaries to delete I better spend my spare time on something more useful.

UPDATED ON: 2022-08-13 ▒ PREFACE WORDS As you remember, my [previous daily driver was Ryzen 9590x 16c/32t] . After some fun with it I’ve decided to drop it in favor to retro stuff. Intel Xeon CPU based around Broadwell tech: [E5-2696v4 22c/44t] became the chip of the choice. It is OEM version of top of the line [Xeon E5-2699v4] . It is a bit slower, around marginal 3-4%, but costs significantly less than 2699v4.

Couple days back virtual friend of mine send me a link to awesome website mainly dedicated to [vintage computer fonts] . I suppose that project’s roots come from demoscene. And yeah, design aesthetics is so cool, just look at that. Stashing it here for catalogue purposes.

Not long ago [already reviewed] in the past Firefox forks Icecat and [Iceweasel] for some reason went into 404 void due to applied sanctions to Russia. So, i was forced to find an alternative way and stumbled upon Chinese builds of [Iceweasel] . Just want to digest this historical fact as a blog post.

Since i’ve switched to [fanless GPU] from Nvidia and began to monitor Windows 7 driver related news. So, here is a [link to the latest] to date Windows 7 driver . It’s really neat to hear that Nvidia is not dropping driver support for Windows Classics . Red team from AMD can’t demonstrate such coolness in this category. Lastest GPU drivers for Windows 7 will be available [here] .

[Essential documentary] film about creators of [PirateBay] torrent resource. TPB AFK: THE PIRATE BAY AWAY FROM KEYBOARD [SOUNTRACK ID NEEDED] Can anyone identify tracks playing at 15:58 and 58:09? Thoughts of yours can be shared via my [contacts section] .

Track that brings some nostalgia and feeling of unrealized potential, which was left in the past forever. TATU - DON’T REGRET

As far as i remember i never suggested any book for reading. SO HERE IS [ONE] . Don’t want to describe anything. It simply must be read by any means. Just wanted to share one of my favourite Sci-Fi books ever.

Comedy thriller genre. Everybody have to [hide something] . MOVIE TRAILER

Actually, i do not like soap TV operas at all. However, this one just hit the spot in a right way. I suppose that Narcos is the best long TV series i ever run into for the whole of my life. This is a story of famous Colombian drug lord, who made his way from complete poverty to the richest man of the world. His [overall year profit] was much bigger than income of big corporations of the time, like General Electric.

Recently [Ghacks.net] reported about almost unreal rumour regarding [another 3 years of extended support for Windows 7] . If news are true, consider this as a gift from above, because i can’t stand windows 10/11 abominations and Linux is just not ready for serious multimedia workstation workloads.

A GRAND DAY OUT [1989] THE WRONG TROUSERS [1993] A CLOSE SHAVE [1995] THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT TRAILER [2005] A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH [2008] Also, don’t forget about [Contraptions] mini-series.

In previous posts i’ve [already mentioned] Andrew Saga’s rants about history of music tracking, but i think that provided info are not covering topic fully. So, here is one more excellent video clip, which i dug up on yt recently. Enjoy!

[GeForce 1650Ti] is the fastest passively cooled GPU avaialable on market. It was made by Palit company and carries KalmX branding. Recently, i finished my Blender investigations and that is why i don’t need [Radeon 6900xt] power anymore. So, i decided to switch to something without fan with decent performance. KalmX design solely relies on massive radiator. Despite the fact that device doesn’t have any fans it provides pretty good performance.

BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system] . It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.

New gem by Roosevelt! PASSION [FEAT. NILE RODGERS] PASSION WORKFLOW

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 British dystopian science fiction film written and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell’s 1949 novel of the same name. Film follows the life of Winston Smith, a low-ranking civil servant in a war-torn London ruled by Oceania, a totalitarian superstate.
