dmesg is almost pretty in the dark

I was just leaving my flat to go and buy some obligatory Saturday night peanut butter (crunchy, of course), when dmesg -w, which I was running to troubleshoot my network, suddenly looked pretty in the dark.

Picture looks like it is part of a 90's cyberattack documentary.

Friend #1: he was a great guy, wouldn't hurt a fly.

Friend #2: he did say he hacked his GameCube, didn't think much of it at the time. Goes to show, I guess.

Narrator (showing the above picture): it is believed, that this is the supercomputer that lolhaxxor88 used to commit his heinous crimes with, among which where to display inappropriate messages on innocent MySpace users' pages.

Crunchy peanut butter is a myth, it’s just creamy peanut butter with peanuts added back in.

Frosted cake is a myth. It's just regular cake with frosting added on top.

It's only crunchy peanut butter if it's from the Craunhxeau region in France? Otherwise it's just sparkling nuts...

dmesg just threw a bunch of errors.

Where did the crunchy peanuts came from? Isn't it the same peanuts as the creamy ones, just less blended?

The crunchy ones grow in the left half of the peanut and the creamy ones in the right.

Apparently, both ways of doing it exist:

To make chunky peanut butter, peanut pieces approximately the size of one-eighth of a kernel are mixed with regular peanut butter, or incomplete grinding is used by removing a rib from the grinder.

Personally, I figured, it could be bad when you don't grind them fully, because you might end up with very large peanut chunks still left, but I guess, that's kind of answered just before the previous quote:

Peanut butter is usually made by two grinding operations. The first reduces the nuts to a medium grind and the second to a fine, smooth texture.

So, I guess, you just do an incomplete grind for the second grind...

Thankfully Systemd is chatty like a kid talking about dinosaurs and so there's lots of ASCII spooge on the screen, usually vomited to console. It's half simplistically beautiful and half utter professional embarrassment.

Chatty is good when there's an issue.

If it hangs at some point, you want it to be as chatty as possible, since that will help narrow down where the hangup is.

Does systemd print much once it's fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.

Are you using that huge-ass TV next to the laptop as your second display?

To the left of me, not visible in the picture, is a Linux ISO torrenting box. I sshfs into it and watch my ISOs with mpv on the laptop, sending the picture to the TV. The laptop's monitor would be displaying the mpv playback stats, but I turn it off while watching ISOs, so that it doesn't break the immersion. πŸ˜„

Sorry, short answer, "yes".

No, no, long answer is fine, it's linuxmemes community.
