I haven't changed anything since my last post, except monitor. Someone gifted me an Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor for free.

This monitor is old as my DELL desktop from 2007.

I remember it was very expensive at that time, for that reason I didn't bought it. Today after 12 years someone gave me as a gift. It's on a great shape, i quite like it.

Finally! Woo-hoo! Congratulations! But I'll miss your 1280x1024 setup...
BTW, I also have a 1680x1050 monitor and I also got it for free. It's a good one though, I'm not replacing it anytime soon.

I had that exact same monitor back in 2008 when my desktop setup was a dell xps. Was a work setup but still cost them something like 2500 dollars at the time for the computer including the monitor. I really liked it as it was lcd and was somewhat anti glare. Congrats, good to see the monitor has held up to the test of time.

Thank you ohnonot, I still have that 5:4, it is in very good condition. I'll use it as a secondary very soon.

I'm glad you got it for free aswell smile "Even the King likes the gifts", we have a saying.

I think it's a good monitor, of course not quality like a HDMI / LED also lacks the 1080p format found in videos full screen where the two black borders up and down are shown.
For this case i use the MPV input.conf keybind to make it from 16:9 > 16:10

CTRL+d cycle_values video-aspect "4:3" "16:9" "16:10" "2.35:1" "-1" ; show_text "Aspect Ratio: ${?video-aspect==1.500:3:2}${?video-aspect==1.333:4:3}${?video-aspect==1.778:16:9}${?video-aspect==1.600:16:10}${?video-aspect==2.350:2.35:1 (CinemaScope)}"

So, I remove the black border up and down with "CTRL+d" keybind, being an older CRT model is understandable to miss a few settings. Wide size of this monitor makes me feel good and i quite like it for this reason.

I think this monitor for an old desktop it's awesome. I've been for a while with 17inch 1280x1024)-5:4. Me too the Dell come up with XP, i was on Windows XP up to 2011 time when i converted to Linux. For 8 years it served me just fine.
For years from 2000 to 2010 computers desktop have been very very expensive, especially those of the 2000s.

Thank you, You've said the truth, This monitor have stand the test of time.

The industry term in American English is "letterbox".

Thanks for correction hhh, I'm clear that i have lack of wording or description the data. By googling...

Thread: "Letterbox" resolution
Well, you see less of the game that way. "Letterbox" is 2.35:1 which is the standard cinema aspect ratio. Fairly standard monitor today is the "FullHD" 1920x1080 with 16:9 aspect ratio. If you use letterboxed mode on that kind of monitor, the game is running at about 1920x816 resolution. Dec 22, 2011

Hope to have it clear next time and memory doesn't fail me smile

No worries, your command of the retarded, mish-mash language that is English is impressive. Most impressive...

In French or German it becomes a nightmare.

Die, der, das, there, their, they're.

Les comb. What rhymes with comb? What's spelled like comb??!?

Tooth. Oh, well, now I just feel foolish.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly. I have a sore gomphos.

This KISS OS looks so promising, similar to Alpine, Crux, Gentoo & Void. I haven't checked yet, but only seeing the website i guess seems terribly awesome.

Kudos to KISS-dev(s).

beaker · 2019-10-05 20:06:55

thanks guys.

@Wismut - I can't find the original image - it was an image search on Flickr for abandoned buildings and was one of the first to pop up but that's no longer the case. Here it is uploaded from my computer to scrot.moe https://scrot.moe/image/xCnTb

@malm - I doubt you will have issues getting this going.

@nili - Yes similar to those. Void is more straight forward so probably more like crux/alpine

Kiss linux - https://getkiss.org/ - there's also a fork of this with glibc and systemd

Berry wm - https://github.com/JLErvin/berry

Touché. Well played, sir. Well played. I fully agree, the guh is flipping awful. Also, womb, comb, bomb, tomb, I just realized. Weird... birth, grooming, death, after death.

Also, what the hell? Were these words invented by the same jerk who put the 'b' in subtle? WHOEVER INVENTED THE SILENT 'B', I'MMA MESS YOU UP, DUDE! /silly rant

Cool hWhip

Getting the glitter background blur in line...
