This week I’m refurbishing a 15+ yr old computer which was stalling on windows 10 and got abandoned. Currently making a huge backup to an Icy box (the self built variant of a wd passport or similar).
On wednesday, a friend comes over and we’re repasting the old i5. I might add some ram and a better but used cpu later which should give this thing another 10 yrs as a server. The mainboard is full of features and would accept a 4 core with 8 threads and 16 GBs of DDR3. Nothing to play recent games on but maaaaany docker containers will run on this baby! :)
Let me know what you’re doing to spit on consumerism and built-for-the-landfill-economy.
Reminder: I made a petition on change.org to make consumer electronics manufacturers open their devices after they stop supporting them. Please sign it, your support is needed.
Thats awesome! Congrats on doing so much on your own! :)
What did you start with?
Thanks! I started when I was learning more advanced BBQ techniques
A ton of people just bought whatever “influencers” were using but I always thought we were all going to end with the same tasting meat if we just used store bought stuff so I started making my own rubs, injections, sauces, etc… then I realize it applied to other stuff and down the rabbit hole I went
That sounds pretty awesome! Do you realize that this would probably be amazing content?
