I'm using the motherboard from a Dell Inspiron 3847 for this build but I can't figure out the front IO and I can't find instructions for this motherboard anywhere. In the original case the front panel IO is handled by a single cable. Is what I'm trying to do hopeless? Surely there's a way to connect this to my new case.

This is found on the computer in V's Northside apartment.

My router has a pretty descent firewall so i feel like it should be safe? Maybe. Obviously I won't be signing into any online accounts or anything like that on the XP machine. Is this a bad ideas? Obviously using Windows in general is a bad idea but I'm sort of limited by the hardware here.

I have not seen the original Open Water but I wanted to watch this film because it's based on a short story by Koji Suzuki I really liked. After watching it, I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's basically stupid people get in trouble out at see and try to survive their own stupidity. I think I'd rather set sail on the S.S. Minnow than with these people. I read the source material and they have almost nothing in common except for one small thing.

::: spoiler Spoilers for the film and the short story The seashell that what's his name picked up out of the water is cursed I believe. In the original story; a yacht is found adrift with no people on board and it's reveled that a cursed sea shell made these people kill themselves or something. :::

The film was okay I guess. It's really soul sucking and sad if that's your thing. Have you seen it? What did you think? Let's talk about it.

I switched to it immediately and have been using it ever since. I can never go back to Breeze. It's so beautiful.

I'll admit I have used Artix, Peppermint OS (Devuan), and Void Linux because I thought the idea of a SystemDless distro sounded cool. It wasn't because I had a problem with SystemD. It's more so that I love that numerous options exist for different system components. For me it's sad to see that certain features or applications require SystemD be present. I like SystemD, just to be clear. I also like the freedom to choose. Maybe, i'm missing something. What do y'all think? What do you use and why? If you use OpenRC or something, why? I'm guessing most people use SystemD and don't give it any thought which is fair.

I installed Ghost BSD on a Thinkpad with somewhat descent integrated graphics. I hear Proton can sort of be made to work on Free BSD. Is it worth the effort? Obviously I should just use Linux but I already do on my other machines. I wanted to try something different.

Just a random thought to cross my mind.

I'd really like to go to Antarctica and befriend penguins. I like the cold and I like penguins so why not? Unfortunately, the average temperature is -17°C which is a bit colder than I am used to. I think it might be okay if I wear a thick jacket and a winter hat. What do you guys think? Do I have what it takes? It's my dream.
