Picked up some ‘busted’ laptops from a mate’s work clearout (they were decommissioning a building. I also got nine pine64’s and two r202s, mate got a full rack cabinet lol)

One new nvme and one disk repair later and i have a pair of vaios

Look for a supermarket with one of those juicing machines - you can just keep reusing the same bottle each time, the scan code doesn’t change

Have a good squizz here - australian site, but the solar 101 is universal

The dude has a massive hardon for solar and dedicated to education

Hope you’re not wearing those bras, they go bad and it’s terrible support.

Depending on the size, wonderful to repurpose as rat hammocks, light-hearted siege engines or yarmulkes though

Fucken hell. Does that include things bought second hand? Literally the only new things i buy these days are underwear / bras and socks.

Use a clonezilla boot usb. I did exactly what you’re trying with clonezilla: 16gb partition on a 128gb ssd to a 64gb ssd. The clone disk is in a production machine rn and has been for two months.

I have an old tplink router i connect shit to that i then turn off

Lmao the cops take four hours to send someone then say she was just being dramatic in that scenario

The 0.5% on fedi are more likely to be the technical users that actually produce usable content.

How many thread users are bots or passive consumers? They may be good for serving ads to, but they’re not so food at retaining and attracting users

Sure they can. If you can’t see them you might want to consider checking out Monkey Joe’s optometry, they’re pretty cheap and got good stock.

Yeah anyone with that info is not gonna actually name the companies in question lol.

But i know four in Melbourne. And i can tell you that most serious server infrastructure is nix. Especially in ISPs, RADIUS babyyyy

Some literally will not let you use them without an Internet-enabled setup

That article was a weird mix of insider info and wild inaccuracies

Fucking hell the raws woulda been gigantic

Digital Cinema Package. Films come out in a buncha files that rather resemble a dvd rip. You got your video files (still called reels!) and your audio files, maybe some subtitle files and other bits and pieces and your assetmap (list of files) all in a big fat folder collectively called a DCP

Hahahah did you enjoy Australian Internet? It’s wonderfully archaic

(MPS, Delux, Gofilex or Qubewire?)
