Debian still supports Pentium IIs. They axed support for the i586 architecture (original Pentium) a few years back, but Debian 12 (current stable, AKA Bookworm) still supports i686 chips like the P2.
Not sure how the rest of the hardware in that Compaq will work.

Some vegan leather is made of mushrooms or vegetables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_leather#Mushroom_leather
Personally I find it odd to call polyurethane "vegan leather". Seems like a marketing ploy to make it sound new. I've always known it as "pleather" or "faux leather". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_leather
Probably ~15TB through file-level syncing tools (rsync or similar; I forget exactly what I used), just copying my internal RAID array to an external HDD. I've done this a few times, either for backup purposes or to prepare to reformat my array. I originally used ZFS on the array, but converted it to something with built-in kernel support a while back because it got troublesome when switching distros. Might switch it to bcachefs at some point.
With dd specifically, maybe 1TB? I've used it to temporarily back up my boot drive on occasion, on the assumption that restoring my entire system that way would be simpler in case whatever I was planning blew up in my face. Fortunately never needed to restore it that way.
How bizarre.
It'd be cool, but I still think it's too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there's not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.
Seems too recent for a remake. I also don't think it was popular enough, especially the sequels. Maybe a modest HD remaster on PS6.
For sure. It'll never be enforced completely, but it gives teeth to go after some big offenders.
When you claim a game from Amazon, is tied to an active subscription, or can you download it and install it later regardless of subscription status?
The power cord on those had a weird round dongle on the end that plugged into the computer
FUCK THOSE CHARGERS.
I mean yeah, the entire industry was riddled with shitty chargers at that time, but these were the worst.
They're big and scary enough today, and in the past they were even bigger and scarier.

Relationship with humans
Some believe that these birds are described in many legends of the Māori mythology, under the names pouākai, Hakawai (or Hōkioi in the North Island).[52][53] According to an account given to Sir George Grey—an early governor of New Zealand—Hōkioi were huge black-and-white birds with yellow-green tinged wings and a red crest. In Māori mythology, Pouākai would prey and kill humans along with moa,[54][55][56] which scientists believe could have been possible if the name relates to the eagle, given the massive size and strength of the bird.[52][57] However, it has also been argued that the "hakawai" and "hōkioi" legends refer to the Austral snipe—in particular the extinct South Island species.[58]
For context, Haast's eagle was about twice the size of today's Harpy eagle, which itself looks like it came out of a nightmare. See photos at https://www.demilked.com/giant-bird-harpy-eagle/
Hopefully they have better defenses against legal action from Nvidia than ZLUDA did.
In the past, re-implementing APIs has been deemed fair use in court (for example, Oracle v Google a few years back). I'm not entirely sure why ZLUDA was taken down; maybe just to avoid the trouble of a legal battle, even if they could win. I'm not a lawyer so I can only guess.
Validity aside, I expect Nvidia will try to throw their weight around.
That would be interesting, but for big titles it would only be possible if they're targeting the Nintendo's next generation along with Sony's current generation. We might have a few years where the PS5 and Switch 2 are comparable, before attention shifts to PS6. All speculation at this point. All I know is there's no way in hell FF16 or Rebirth could ever run on the current Switch.
