my 2009 i5 with a broken screen cable is yearning to be ressurrected rn
surround it by 5 candles, light them, whisper a prayer to the spirit of the machine, boot it up
Should I participate, with my A31p?
Do it!
My main rig is a haswell i5, do I qualify?
Well, the idea is to challenge yourself in some way. It’s not going to be much fun, if you just keep using your every day machine.
Some people without actual old machines throttle down their CPUs, disable cores, or limit RAM.
Others limit/allocate their time spent on a computer/internet a day.
I’m doing no xorg on a T42.

This is a healthy idea… But its so hot outside. Maybe I should dedicate time to napping.
When you’re broke so your main rig is an old B-grade Thinkpad off eBay anyways
it’s called a lifestyle and it’s respectable.
I could have bought a nice M1 or M2 but instead I modded an X230 and T430 up instead!
Same, but with a x220. Repasted, new ram, new battery, libreboot and Guix System. We are flying!
Nice I never opted for FHD mod but I did quad-core my X230, using another X230 now dual core i5 but it’s still pretty fast for most things on Alpine Linux :)
