• Show HN: 3 years and 1M users later, I just open-sourced my "Internet OS"

  GRML is a successor of sorts to Knoppix: https://grml.org/ It's an Austrian LiveCD based on Debian; version 2024.02 was just released. It's not as slick as Knoppix, but it does come with lots of utilities and can start an X Windows desktop. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop

  The trick is, figuring out the names of the packages you want. :-\ Experiment, and take notes, I guess. I had a fun experience playing with `grml-debootstrap', GRML¹ being a command-line-oriented LiveCD built upon Debian. Once you’ve booted up, that app installs a minimal Debian instance on your computer.

• Ask HN: Do you still use DVD?

  I still put DVD and/or Blu-ray drives in all PCs I personally build for myself and my family. This is due to the fact that we transferred dozens of old captured 16 mm and 8 mm film reels, scanned photo prints, negatives and slides as well as Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and VHS videocassettes to M-DISC DVD and some to Blu-ray.

• My computer reset my user profile name and password. Now I can’t login. What do I do?

  This is what I normally do when needing to change a user account password at work. Http://hirensbootcd.org/ and create a bootable USB drive with it, set it as the boot device in the bios and get and use the NTPasswordEdit tool that should be in a folder on the desktop. Should be able to select the user account on windows and change the password to what you would like. Source: over 1 year ago
