This is funny because its true.
Not me having random urges to use old Linux laptops as servers
Lol, I’ve been wanting to tear down my old laptops down to the board and run them “bare” in my rack as some sort of cluster lmao
Poor Copland OS Enterprise, forgotten 😔
Where is this pic from?
An anime called Serial Experiments Lain.
Definitely need to start watching this. Thx!
Thanks!
Warning - not a happy anime.
Duly noted.
But a good one.
Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian
lain <33333
Everyone loves Lain :D
It’s like “I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?” Turns into “ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn’t just a gui”.
It’s like learning to love computers again
GUI? What’s a GUI?
It’s the thing you run when your Parallel Processing Card is not doing anything and you go - “might as well”
I think some kind of cli tool.
Probably curses.
Curses? What’s is curses? /s
I just use ascii.
ASCII? What’s that? /me thumps stack of punch cards on table
Punch cards? What are that? /me grapping my abacus to add up 2 numbers.
Abacus? What is that?
/me grabbing my dedicated pile of stones so I can throw one into ground for each individual sheep I see to make sure I didn’t lose any as counting wasn’t invented yet
So true…
Hides stash of thinkpads…
Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?
I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.
I’ve not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?
Ohhh I thought you were talking about flashing software for inputting the iso into the usb like Rufus.
I haven’t swapped out the BIOS/UEFI firmware before.
Compatibility with Libreboot/Canoeboot seems to be one of the main advantages of certain Thinkpad models, so it might be something to check out. :)
(For creating a bootable USB drive from a
.isofile, can you not simply use theddcommand?)Thanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.
You’re welcome! To make a bootable USB drive with
dd, the command would besudo dd if=/path/to/installer.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && syncwhere thesdXis your actual USB drive.
This is me with old phones that I keep to prove LineageOS will still support, I keep them all updated, I flash Mobian or postmarketOS, but I keep none as a daily driver
Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste
I mean, you don’t need to at this point, all those incompatible with Windows 11 computers. So hard not to just buy another for $50
after linux
What a handsome man.
notice how the plushies never leave. true linux user.
Nothing changed just leaned in
This isn’t even the final form of her room. They haven’t gotten to the “liquid cooled by way of literally having a puddle of ankle deep water in the room” phase!
Spoiler: Late-stage Navi (Knowledge Navigator)
Can’t relate. That’s after selfhosting not Linux. I only have 1 laptop anyways to do work on.
Serial Experiments Lain. Great, but very very weird, anime.
