Lettuce eat lettuce

Ikr. I’ve got two 12 year old towers that have Debian on them. One is a Docker box and the other is just a raw Debian server.

I installed KDE on both because I like my servers looking a little sexy lol. They run smoother and more stable than any of the Windows machines I support.

They’ll probably be fine for another 10 years, maybe even longer.

So accurate, I have 5 towers right now set up for re-purposing as servers, with a half dozen more coming in a few days saved from e-waste. That doesn’t count my homelab rack server, networking gear, main gaming tower, and 4 laptops…

Naw sorry, I tried that this last election and got embarrassed. Went hardcore Democrat, Coconut-pilled, blah blah blah.

I genuinely tried to believe in it, voted early, got friends and family to show up and vote too. Not only did the dems lose, they lost worse than they have in decades.

And to make matters worse, the Democratic party largely has completely missed why they lost so badly to the most pathetic excuse for a president in American history.

It’s too late for large scale positive structural change with the current political parties in the USA. The Dems must be torn apart and re-shaped into a populist left-wing party to have any chance of meaningful change. Until that happens, voting with your dollar is the only kind of vote that will be taken seriously.

Extremely local elections, sure, vote for a leftist candidate that might actually win some small office. But unless it’s that, vote with your dollar and engage in direct action to serve your community and build genuine solidarity.

Hey ICE, go sit on a fire hydrant and make it disappear.

I bought my Steam Deck simply to support Linux gaming and Valve’s contribution to more open hardware and software. I wasn’t actually interested in handheld gaming.

Roughly a year later, I game about 75% on my Steam Deck vs my very expensive Linux gaming desktop. I love it so much, the convenience of pausing a game, going from my couch to my bed and resuming flawlessly is awesome.

My spouse wanted one too, so now we both can game together easily anywhere.
