@streakmachine yeah it's a bit of a slippery slope. But I do like mine.
@matigo I'm actually on vacation this week. With my wife and daughter elsewhere for a few days, and the weather being excellent, it kinda feels like one even.
@matigo there's a reason I end up with people's old computers. When paired with the right task, even a 15-20 year old computer is more than enough.
The only reason I'm using two different computers is because my router doesn't allow any communications between the guest and private WiFi networks unless I open it up entirely. Which, for obvious reasons, I'd rather not do. š¬
@matigo that's in a Lenovo X60. I probably got that laptop as a discard in 2011.
@matigo older than that, Iām afraid. According to /proc/cpuinfo, they are:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G850 @ 2.90GHz
Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz
What is a 10 year old computer and a 15 year old laptop good for? Pi-holeing. The older laptop required a bit of finagling with ānon-freeā wireless drivers and 32-bit Debian, but it does the job.
Ok, finally got my Linux Mint Desktop machineā¦cleaned up so future upgrades can happen. Fresh install FTW.
It's taking some mental effort to NOT take off and run 6-7 miles. However, I don't want to hurt myself, so working back up slowly.ļæ¼
Coffee is truly one of the healthiest things you can drink. The 3-4 minutes of vigorous grinding of the beans for 2-3 cups doesn't hurt, either.
Making a cup of coffee is a bit like life in general. Requires some simple ingredients and a little bit of effort, but in the end, you get a result. The more work you put in, the more satisfying the result. #EnjoyTheGrind
