Data/Culture preservation (imagine having something like this for Sumer or ancient Egypt).

Also you could just take the few things you like, not all of it.

And remember to support artists that you think deserve it (megacorps in between don’t really deserve it).

And Wikipedia.

Yes, I’m looking at an Intel Air bcs of exactly what you point out, but then my brainhole always goes like ‘you don’t even need a laptop, you use it a couple of times a year, it’s just about a new gadget’.

Yeah, I never though the project would cover apple silicon tbh, it’s amazing what they are doing.

I too really hope RISC-V becomes a thing, slowly getting them foss PCs would be such a nice thing for humanity.
(With EU curiously looking into it’s own independence maybe we could invest into our own RISC-V production …)

Also the article says that in the context of paying for the apple physical laptop experience, which is really top notch (so everything other than the mobo and is immediate bits).

Eg my use-case - I only ever need my laptop for extremely light work, so experience in handling it is way more important than the computing hardware.
Actually I would still want a MacBook with like an Intel Pentium in it - but I can’t buy a good frame with a shitty CPU, I need to buy a better overall laptop.

I still don’t own anything Apple, but with Linux I just might, that’s why I keep tabs on this project.

Neat!

Also good that regardless of whatever those top articles are, that’s less than 10m views (for the top page) out of 15bn monthly views. Their main page got 182m views, I’m glad ppl visit it.

That’s fully within their interest too, as long as it’s more monies.

… I don’t think we have the correct system to run the planet like this.

Same, the og one (v1. 0 with PCB without the holes!) at my parents place runs it for a very long time (the second sinkhole is on proxmox on a beefier server, the Pi is there just bcs I still love it).

Why would the “Windows license” get affected by whatever it on the disk?

Also how your sysadmins keeping the uefi unlocked?

I think I’m missing something here - why would y’all need a storage of ISOs?
Just think of a distro & download it from like anywhere at that moment? Especially if there is a functioning PC you are about to “upgrade”. That way you don’t need to think ahead of anything & get the latest ISO.

No, ofc not, I’m not a degenerate without a plan!!
This isn’t a game.

There are 15 year olds using Lemmy??

/s (my documents folder is the same, but older … much a lot too many very older :|)

At least two of these:
~/Stuff
~/Stuffs
~/Stuffz
~/Shits

Atm it’s running Proxmox, but I’ll go bare metal with a fresh install of Hannah Montana Linux, I want to do things proper this time!

I totally agree - and depending on your needs & budget, slightly older server-grade equipment idle power usage is much higher compared to consumer stuff (servers didn’t really know how to idle until “recently”). And also if you don’t host a tone of different things for different users (ie you don’t need all the pcie lanes) you get so much faster CPUs for the same monies.

The only server-grade things you need are ofc disk drives that are gonna do server stuff.

And a good PSU (but a nice Seasonic is almost server-grade anyways). When ppl talk about power usage they tend to forget PSUs (they check their PC usage with a shitty PSU that itself can’t idle low & maybe doesn’t even get to 90% at peak loads).

… 100W? Isn’t that like a rally bygone era? CPUs of the past decade can idle at next to nothing (like, there isn’t much difference between an idling i7/i9 and a Pentium from the same era/family).

Or are we taking about arm? (Sry, I don’t know much about them.)

This is my rig, I already bought 20 30TB disks, how do I proceed?

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese Thai meal?

(Bookmarked for when I have the mental capacity to …)

Do y’all also document backup/restore procedures?
How often do you test it?

Honestly working that butt & taint hard.
