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] .

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.

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.

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. Smith struggles to maintain his sanity and his grip on reality as the regime’s overwhelming power and influence persecutes individualism and individual thinking on both a political and personal level.

[DJ Incognito] is a person who curated music selection for Russian literary radio show [Model Dlia Sborki] [MDS]. It was aired on 106.8 FM in mid 90s. The concept of the show was reading SciFi stories, which were backed with modern electronic music. Music styles revolved from ambient-trance to trip-hop. DJ Incognito always provided unique’n’immersive atmosphere to the show. It’s a pity that he is no longer in project anymore.
