The main dev is a Stallman appropriator who browses /g/ for sure. I guess those kinds of people are the ones who don't even put forth effort in shilling seeing as this thread is the same as the last.

No. Some of us aren't idiots like you. It's pretty common knowledge here that you have to go full libre. Libreboot and fully libre packages with no binary blobs to be positive that there will be no CIA niggers on your system. GTFO off of /g/ dumbfuck.

I've got an old Lenovo DAGC8EMB8D0 mobo that I'm going to bring back to life and my autism is kickkking in trying to optimize this build.
The M.2 slot already has a wireless-n card in it and I've got an SSD and the DVD-RW drive that came with the laptop installed in the sata ports.The plan is to have a chinky Expresscard54 USB3.0x2 adapter in it.
Currently it has an [email protected].
I could use the mPCIe slot for a USB3 connection or another ssd and use Expresscard54 for eGPU, but i'm not sure how much of a difference that I'll see. I feel like eGPU won't get me very far because the i5-2540M isn't very good. I could upgrade to the i7-2640M 2.8ghz, but looking at the benchmarks it's not much of an upgrade for ~$200.
Two questions:
- Is there something else I can do with this mPCIe slot, other than stick my dick in it?
- Will attempting eGPU really matter if I am bottlenecked @2.6GHz, or even 2.8GHz?

I haven't come across that yet. Good find. Will eGPU make that much of a difference in quality on this old machine?

I bought a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital joystick at a thift store and dug around and found an old PCI soundcard that had a Gameport port
After inserting the soundcard into my computer and confirming that the soundcard works (outputs sound to speakers) I plugged in the joystick to the Gameport and Linux will not detect the joystick at all
"lspci" gives this for the soundcard info
>05:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio (rev 10)
I have used "modprobe" to load "joydev", "gameport", "adi", "ns558", "snd_cmipci" and "analog" to no avail
"jstest /dev/input/jsX" where X is 0 to 10 just gave "jstest: No such device or address" every time
plz help anons, I want to use this sick ass joystick

loonix has no games anyway
install windows xp, as vista+ dropped support for game ports
>>
>>59580231
Installing Win XP just for this is stupid, unless its possible to passthough the soundcard into a Win XP VM
>>
>>59579686
That was a good joystick for the price back in its time. I still have it somewhere.
Favorite linux distro and why?

It used to be that you could view all comments in a page without videos or ads. Only the raw reply chains.
It used to be that you sort the comments.
Once they took that away could could still access all comments "secretly" by using the page in the url /all_comments/.
Why the fuck doesn't the world's premiere video sharing network have sortable fucking comments?
They are a gold mine for content creators. I want to be able to sort them by word count. The longer a comment is, the bigger the chance it resembles an in-depth criticism vs. the static noise of spam and adhom exchange.
I want to be able to sort by user, date, region, character count, thumbs.
This should be possible? Why isn't this the case? Is there some sort of browser plugin that accomplishes this?

I miss being able to ctrl+F through thousands of comments to see how many people repeated certain stock phrases or pushed certain ideas.
Youtube is keeping this shit to themselves. The cunts. I bet they sell the data with a limited license for mad coinage to companies that pay up front for a quote.

I'm a junior frontend dev and I strive to become a senior/architect as quickly as possible. What would you Anons suggest I learn/focus on to make my dreams a reality?

Senior -> code more
Architect -> soft skills
>>
Unsurprisingly, focus on architecture.
Go do a project in your spare time (it really works better for spare-time projects than work projects), and take your time to make the whole thing as well-designed as possible. Every time you identify a wart, or some structure that seems needlessly complex and could be simplified, you redesign things to suit your aesthetic with no considerations for wasting time. Make it a thing of beauty and perfection.
When you are done, look at what you have wrought and do it better. Perfect the design after it is already working and neat. Improve and improve. Do not stop until you can think of *literally nothing* to improve the code. (Note: you are working on the design and architecture of the CODE, not the functionality.)
At some point, ask other people what they think about your design. Odds are they can still find things to improve that you didn't think of.
When you are done, and you can think of no way whatsoever to further improve things, start a new project, at the limit of your capabilities. Repeat a dozen times. At that point, you should be very capable of approaching a complex problem the RIGHT way without considering too many sensible-looking design decisions that turn out to be totally stupid later.
>>
Senior roles are mostly gated by experience and soft skills.
You need experience, both in breadth and in depth. Learn more about more programming languages, more different ways of working. Learn a lot more about a few programming languages, so you can tackle lots of different challenges with them. (Don't stick to just frontend dev.) Also learn how programs fit together at a higher level; try tracking the entire life of an action taken by a user from the very front-most frontend to the point where it causes permanent changes on disk in a database on a server, and then back out to a change in the user interface; there's a whole lifecycle of information in there, and you should try to understand it all, at least somewhat.
But also find out about the contexts that you're developing within. Programs don't exist in isolation, but are instead written to do what customers and users want. Try to understand that side of things too. (Note that most people only get to understand a small number of these domain areas in their life; it's non-trivial to get into one.) Soft/people skills can help a lot here.
Those are the paths to seniority. And they're not things that usually happen quickly.
