I’ve got the same one. It is awesome. I will pay for someone to repair it if it breaks. 720p of course but all my stuff is DVD so who cares.

Searxng was working pretty well for me until everyone started blocking even my own instance.

This is really when the old web rings would be nice to have back. It was a web because sites linked to each other. Less efficient but at least things could be found, versus the gated access we have now.

Most people I know run it behind a VPN, so 2FA is less critical.

I was about to say, it has states, it can be computed upon

I’ve got an Acer Aspire One that is slow but i Iove the form factor. It is really good for email and document tasks, just really light and comfortable and the battery lasts ages. Gonna be sad when 32bit ends

Same. Set and forget

But can you money the cheese

How is this even a thing? Businesses can’t just have open network connections.

You could set up wireguard via stunnel maybe to port 22

For development? I’ve been using old Dell Latitudes. They are easier to work on than HPs, generally sturdy, and Debian runs great on them. You can get a used E7440 for next to nothing, and old RAM is still cheap.

I don’t know what this one has but Mint runs OK on it.

I’ve got a Acer Aspire One with an Atom in it that I still use. The form factor is awesome, I wish it was 64 bit and 4 gig though. Just use it for emergency firewall management as I don’t think it is getting updates.

And by outdated, like 2015. Old E7440s or even older work great with added memory. New battery and you have a nice laptop out of the e waste pile. The only weak spot are drives, SSDs are expensive so to stay cheap you might have to use old spinny in there.

Used to be able to buy PCs running Xenix, with Lotus and vi. Who really needed anything more?

Also things like pfblocker/pihole. Pfblocker has made it shocking to see someone else use the Internet.

I just found that notepadqq is no longer maintained. :(

Oh you don’t have to wonder. It is shilling and is just about as old as time.

Yeah OpenSuSE should just be a tumbleweed picture. Aren’t we all tumbleweeds at heart?

Having actually done this, the clean room part is super easy. Getting all the equipment in and running is extremely hard. Finding out all the things you messed up along the way and getting actual yields is extremely hard and also time consuming. So I’d like to know where along that process they are doing the timeline comparison.
