    I am not sure what you mean by the 2 things, since there's just one, and above one of the Bash logos is just Linux and Fediverse.

    I've labeled them:

    The image comes from xenia.chimmie.k.vu, but it's down for a while now :(

    Uhh… I just picked up a pair of old Thinkpad x130e and have a put Linux on them. If I run Debian instead of Arch and keep the sticker collection small can I avoid having to find socks like that in my size?

    I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better

    I call bullshit. You’re telling me they’re choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?

    That’s AI man.

    Red is crap. Gotta go blue or clear.

    That reminds me that I have a stack of Vista era laptops (and one Win 7) gathering dust. I should find something to do with them.

    I use an old laptop as a Pi-hole, personally.

    I've thought of doing it, but the power draw wouldn't be reasonable.

    You could try salvaging any good components to try and reuse for another project, maybe strip any RAM, drives, etc... to use in a storage bank.

    I have seen some unique project ATX motherboards that have SODIMM slots on them

  • I've already taken the RAM and SSD for my home server, but I don't think I can use much else. Not much of a hardware guy. I'll happily send it over to anyone if they paid for shipping (I'll even add some old RAM). Some screws are stripped, so the chassis doesn't close properly, but if those are replaced, it can be a perfectly usable laptop with some RAM and SSD. It'll be better than just dumping it.

    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC πŸ˜”

    Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it's the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

    With mine, I’m working on a few things:

    • Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. I’m ok at it now, but could use the practice.
    • Learning Rust. It’s nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
    • Experimenting with some alternative OSs. I’m extremely conservative with my main machine, but I don’t really care about these laptops.
    • Enjoying simplicity.

    I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?

    Not trans, but soon I'll also have a ThinkPad, where can I get stickers for it? I'm looking into Manjaro instead of Arch though.

    Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.

    Miss my thinkpads. One was IBM

    The IBM branded ones are cooler. Too bad they are ancient now. The Lenovos are still pretty good computers though

    The last of the IBM-branded ones are Core 2 Duo machines that can, with some upgrades, passably run a modern Linux distro. With that said, they are still nearly 20 years old.

    The last of the IBM-built ones are still 32-bit machines.

    I don't get the stickers thing.

    The stickers thing has always been an "ick" for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.

    That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.

    Think pad? Think again.

  • We have seen this meme many times, but this is our first time noticing the "plural inside" sticker.

    Of course we own a crusty old sticker-emblazoned thinkpad that we keep running out of spite.
