I love it! I'm a big fan of old.reddit.com. I love how it craps a ton of info and links into a small space. Regular lemmy.sdf.org just requires too much scrolling to see anything.

Not that it has to look just like old.reddit.com, of course, but the density of this layout is great.

I got a 12U roadcase rack at Guitar Center last year. It's nice but it's only 17in deep which means my choices for server chassis were pretty limited and I haven't been able to find any rack rails that fit.

I love the minimalism of stock Gnome. You don't have to make those Ubuntu icons as small as possible or auto-hide the dock. You don't have to go to obscure settings windows to hide icons on your desktop. It's just minimal out of the box. Just you and your apps. You can have floaty windows if you want, but it's also really simple to run your apps fullscreen or half-screen with just a keystroke. I love it.

If you had these books plus maybe one more about assembly programming you knew pretty much everything there was to know about the C-64. No stacks, frameworks, abstractions, etc, etc. There's a part of me that is really nostalgic for this era of programming.

On the other hand, with the C-64 I only ever got so far. I was really isolated back then. I only had one other programmer friend and when he moved away I had nobody to share my enthusiasm with, and I hit some roadblocks with the programs I was trying to write, and it just kinda fizzled away until the Web and higher-level languages made things easier and forums and search engines let me connect with people.

Hello world! I spend my work days logged in to some servers which if I interpret mtr correctly are just up the hill from SDF in Tukwila. I joined SDF in 2010 after watching SMJ's interview on the BBS Documentary. It's neat to be able to log in to this living UNIX system and type w and see a bunch of other people logged in doing their thing whatever that is.

I've been a Reddit user since almost the beginning - my carefully curated set of subreddits have been my favorite way to follow my interests over the years. I love old.reddit's clunkiness and information density. I'm intrigued by decentralization and federation and think it would be cool to move away from the big silos.

I really wish there was a compact/old.reddit theme for Lemmy
