@TechUr Never made it to the Hive before when I played, so that's all new to me.

All this reminds me why I grew out of minimalist distros.

So because of the absolute state of the decision makers at Arch, I had to go into a liveusb environment to do it.

I found this out because I wanted to read the nmcli documentation. I couldn't connect to my wifi to download Man-db because I couldn't read the fucking manpage that tells you how to do it.

I get Arch's whole minimalist thing, I really do. But not even providing man-db in Base? C'mon people. That's just absurd.

Shameless money fishing.

I'm sure we've all seen the Scottish snow truck's GPS tags, but here it is for those that haven't...

Lol Twitch overdubbed Metallica's set at Blizzcon for fear of DMCA action.

The internet really is fucked.
