I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.

Is this my future?

I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup, which is also plugged in to the modem/router 🤷‍♂️

Yea same I don’t even care.

It’s an old laptop, I have a backup. Go ahead, fuck it up.

You could argue that games have gotten worse

You can also pop your popcorn in plain undyed paper bags. Toss them in oil, put em in the bag, microwave.

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.

Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.

I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]

Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.

So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

So many people angry about phones in here. Just let people like what they like. Yeesh.

I set a timer on your phone to match(ish) the timer on the air fryer

We have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.

The best thing Europe could do is take those savings and use it to cover the salaries of a couple full time developers per country to help verify code and add new features.

It would be such a boon to the whole world.
