I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

June 13th, 2022. 7:13pm. If that's the last one I burn, I will at least know when. It was Windows XP Media Center 2005, for my fleamarket Dell Demension E510. Well, more accurately, an E310 with a E510 motherboard.
I'm about to drop a supermicro Xeon board plus an E3-1275 and 32G of ECC ram into the guts of this old Optiplex 790 mini tower I have. (i3 2100, so a generation newer, and a Xeon instead of an i3)
I plan to eventually get a better case but for now this is fine. Right now it's running Plex media server on FreeBSD on bare metal, but I'm planning to swap to proxmox once I get the new board installed.
Unfortunately that won't be for another week. While the board will be here today, it is a little more power hungry than the old system, and I'm already pushing the OEM 375W PSU with 5 drives (SATA SSD and 4 7200rpm SAS drives) so I also have a PSU coming. But that is not expected until middle of next week.
Oh, that sounds like a fun project! Going to post it to Lemmy when you're done? I'm not familiar with proxmox. I see it's based on Debian, is it basically an os specifically for running vm instances or something?
I like the look of that generation Optiplex. My current main PC is a slightly upgraded XPS 8930, which is IMO one of the ugliest Dell cases. And the airflow has been a terrible challenge. But since it's not a standard board, I can't just pop it in a better case. And there's no way im buying a new mobo for an LGA 1151. So, I'm stuck until I build something new.
I wasn't specifically planning to. And yeah, proxmox is a VM management system. I've never used it myself, but it's apparently the "new hotness" and I've been meaning to do a VM/container build for a while.
I'm more familiar with FreeBSD jails, but not everything lends itself to that well. Bhyve was also something I looked at, but proxmox seems to leverage qemu and ZFS together.
Plus, since I've never actually used it, it gets me out of my comfort zone and I'll maybe learn something neat.
Joke's on you. I have multiple spindles of blank optical media I use regularly. I am not putting a ODE on my Saturn unless I absolutely have to.
I was hoping for it tho.
I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade
I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.
My barely consumed blank cd tower somewhere in my basement agrees.
I felt scammed for a split second recently because I bought a new laptop and it had no optical drives...
the scam you bought was windows

Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.
I'm going to go burn one for the last time just to subvert this meme.
I microwaved a few from 2008 last month. They smell of cancer if you do that though.
That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".
I have not yet begun to peak. I'm gonna make a driving CD eventually
Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable
High school kid: Burned a what?
