Update: It was a Windows install DVD. I have now ordered some blank DVDs and an external DVD drive.

And three years later, a bad update broke my server. I have since lost the 14.04 installation DVD and of course the old Mac Pro is the only DVD burner I have access to.

I just received an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS DVD in the mail. I am officially "that guy that orders Linux in the mail."

It is proven! I am senicar on Keybase: https://keybase.io/senicar/sigchain#cd03394a47575e8174e171354230417a24d07679a4c0b76decc1f543ab960ebf0f

This video does an okay job explaining the state of #NetNeutrality in 2017.

If anyone wants to install Ubuntu on an old Mac Pro 1,1:

Use the 14.04 mac+amd64 iso for the installation, you can upgrade to 16.04 later and it works fine.

Install from a DVD, not a USB stick.

rEFInd is your friend.

You will probably need to boot from the live DVD and boot-repair.

It won't play nice with an OS X install on a partitioned drive, but a new hard drive or shared drive with windows works fine.

Disconnect the iSight camera before installing or you'll have no sound. No idea why.

My dad gifted my kid sister an old 1,1 Mac Pro. I asked her what she wanted to run on it, since she's used OS X and Win10 and I'm not sure which she prefers.

"Linux!"

So it begins.

Every time I come across a tech support scam at work I'm so tempted to call and see what they try to get me to do.

Maybe if I call it Security Research I can get paid for it too.

If anyone wants to watch Comey's testimony: http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-40193177

BBC had local time as GMT-0500 for a bit at the beginning of the stream, ha.

I'm just going to start appending "fuckyou" every time I'm forced to make a time based password change.
