Do tell


I have a lot of old laptops. Like seriously, a lot. I donate them steadily to charities after installing Debian but who knows what happens to them afterwards. I have a lot of laptops. I use a different one in every room and one with a bunch of scratches in the garage. I am running out of reasons to even try and keep these things.I have a lot of laptops. They just arrive, many still with data on them, and I wipe them and occasionally order a new battery for them. All my friends and family know not to mention any computing needs to me because they just get offered a Debian machine.I think as a society we have overproduced technology. I have a shitload of laptops.


And no one has mentioned the IBM mainframe stereo behind him?
Its got hEARt
In the 90s anything over 3 years was frowned upon. 4 years maybe if you were desperate. Interest rates were middling, and var prices relatively about the same I think. Hard to tell but a cheap car was 7500 - 10k in the early early 90s.


Not who you asked but I got the Me2 cube from Beelink. It runs Truenas and has been reliable so far. The giant downside is nvme drive cost, like 3-4x from when I bought it.
If you are just storing data, find the really old Proliant cube servers on EBay, like an N40L. There’s only one fan, if it works you can get 4 hard drives for cheaper than nvme, nstall truenas or xigmanas, and you have a slow but useful and reliable file server, with ECC memory and all kinds of useful things. 60w and quiet.

Because they sucked. They hit a very brief moment of being bigger than floppies and not as expensive as another hard disk, but they broke all the time, lost data, were expensive, and CD burning came along and got cheap real fast.
The only downside here is that the root servers don’t use TLS so your queries are plain text.


No joke, more people died on the campaign to sink the Bismarck than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. From memory about 2000 men on Hood, 3 survivors, and 2200 on Bismarck, about 200 survivors.
This picture isn’t that though, this looks like fleet exercises, and I think the battleships in the rear are American with the old style basket masts.


Both very psychological. Of the two Coherence is by far the less creepy though.


Coherence, and Oddity, both good horror movies.


The short story is heartbreaking, Ted Chiang


I ain’t gonna say Obama did it, but all this started when FFELP was shut down
Maybe someone was just preparing and happened to have 6 Square flag stones lying around. They might have wanted a place to cache valuables in case of, whatever. Never got used
So did Extra Fabulous start the disconnected other eye style?
I’ve got the box set of this I think.
