hello :3 im acessing the lorums from my epic new device: the sony vaio i got in 2008 and found in my parents house :D
it has 1gb of ram

its running the bionicpup32 (puppylinux) which is super lightweight. the battery life on this thing is literally 10x better than my big ugly Gaming Laptop (puke and barf) and it is 10000000x more FUCKING ADORABLE!!!!!!
she is my child and i love her

Hey dude,

OMG, congrats on your new laptop! That's totally wicked and I'm sure you're feeling pretty psyched about it. I hope it's got all the dope features you were hoping for.

Don't forget to flex on your friends and fam, and maybe even take a selfie for your MySpace page. Bonus points if you know how to make those cool scrolling marquees and animated GIFs. You’ll want to get yourself set up with the latest and greatest version of Netscape Navigator. Trust me, you won't want to be caught dead using AOL.

Keep on keepin' it real!

i just spent the last 2 hours getting it set up on the uni wifi, which was a massive headache because ofc they had to use WPA2-Enterprise which uses a username and password, which was not an option in my network setup tools. i even downloaded Peasywifi on my big computer and transferred it over via usb, but even that didn't have an option for wpa2-enterprise.
chatgpt literally saved my ass on this one. i was combing through forums and couldn't find anything useful because there wasn't anyone whose specific problem was close enough to mine. but i told chatgpt what was going on and it told me the terminal command to set everything up manually :D
it was not without a hitch though, because in order to set it up manually i had to create a config file, and for some reason this thing doesnt have a single text editor installed. and ofc i couldn't even download one from the package manger without internet lol. so i had to just write the config on my other laptop and transfer the file by usb again.

but it all worked out and now the vaio is CONNECTED !!! thank you chatgpt (great overlord)

also shoutout to bionicpup fr. ive got several processes running including this browser and its only using 233MB of memory. that is actually insane to me

holy fuck thats awesome.

here are the highlights from my conversation with chatgpt where i was asking about how to set up the connection. tbh im really impressed by how much it could tell me, everything was super thorough and step by step. way better than anything i would find on the forums lolol

Watchout Puppylinux is a gateway drug to Gentoo
