Jokes on you, they’re the same person
I’m not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better
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.
Manjaro is kinda crappy tbh, I’d recommend EndeavourOS or CachyOS instead.
You can find those kind of sticker packs on ebay and other shopping sites.(Goes for around 2 - 10 US bucks) You can also custom print your own ones (Usually hella ton cheaper)
Careful, owning a second hand thinkpad comes with programming socks
(* They are both the same person)
Business up top. Party down below.
w life changing decisions
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?
No
Might need a different colour. But distros are inclusive, so no worries.
plot twist: its the same person
except they don’t identify as a person anymorre
I support their journey into systemhood 😌
Same here. I have a ThinkPad, and don’t identify as a person. It just happens that I’m not a femboy (to my knowledge)
i have socks but no thinkpad :(
i have thinkpad but no socks
wanna hangout?OwO
:3 ok but sockdreams is the best website they have such cute socks!
oh, for systemd sake, why are there business representatives in my lemmy, i just wanted to rice up a laptop together
shoo, shoo, i’m not bying usa socks, i’m too close to Poland for that
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.
Plot twist: the second person is the same as the first.
Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.
Heh, I have the arch sticker on that exact spot too:
Ahh, the classic Firefox logo. How old is that sticker?
Also an old KDE logo. New, I just prefer the older logos.
what are the two things that are on top of thr arch linux logo and the bash logo?
(the rest i alr know)
(i may be using too much linux)
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:
Have you found any good projects for meshtastic? I got some hardware to tinker with but have a little let down so far. I love the idea though.
That fox witch sticker is awesome, where did you get it?
The image comes from xenia.chimmie.k.vu, but it’s down for a while now :(

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.
Mechanical switches? Ugh, brother, ugh, what’s that brother?
Ascend with me to hall effect switches
Who the fuck buys a keyboard? I usually get free ones from relatives.
People who are not poor
Yeah hall effect is cool, but I demand a good old fashioned crack or pop sound when I hit a key. Typing should sound like armies of beetles with swords fighting.
Red is crap. Gotta go blue or clear.
Well if we’re talking switches, get with the kailh box dark yellow and feel the burn.
Alps
I’ll allow it.
Alps and Topre are the best.
I really want to try a topre keyboard but I haven’t come across one cheap or free yet and they’re so expensive usually

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.
