So many old computers & calculators here.

I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.

May I insert some additions of analog here?

I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.

Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.

Did the magic smoke come out?

If so, you can try replacing the chip. Some basic SMD (de)soldering is required.

If not, you can try reseating your clip. Hopefully the chip is still good. It may have more tolerance than specified.

While many comments here are correct that it would affect less than you’d expect, there are things that may not be covered.

For example:

• there’s no setting for hyperthreading
• no way to disable SATA drives, in case you’d like to be selective
• you’ll need to reflash the BIOS if you want to change boot order permanently

Also, make sure you have the correct video BIOS.

How would the lack of passive CPU powersaving affect things on your end?

Good bot.

Serious question: you’d use that for your daily driver?

How would Flatpak know which driver to install?

Still better than no update.

I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

Could be things to execute. They may run a shell script (source it if they don’t have exec permission), but they won’t have all the previleged commands (definitely no dd)

I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I’ve been doing great.

I’ve looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).

Right now, I’m running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.

On the other hand, I’ve tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.

Not sure if this fits your exact need, but I’ve been running my blog on Grav CMS. It’s really easy to setup as it uses flat file to store your content instead of database. You could just download a tarball, extract it, point your HTTP server (and php-fpm) to it, and see it on your web browser. If you know your PHP, you could even customize a theme.

Anyways, feel free to check out my blog: timkenhan.co

How the mighty has fallen.

Hope it turns out some good one!

Never too late to retry 😉

I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.

I’d say I’d never generate too much coffee ground as it’s really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!

I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!

Composting.

It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it’s good for… plants, or something… Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that’s when I learned about it.

I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn’t get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that’s when I knew I succeeded.

Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it’s good for something, right?

Why is it in Java??
