depends on what you want to host. a lemmy or pleroma instance could run on an old laptop -- that's often where people start. a small minecraft server too. email can be a bit more resource intensive, but it's not that bad. mastodon can be a pain in the ass. peertube's main bottleneck tends to be upstream bandwidth. jellyfin doesn't require too much power, but if you want to transcode a "decent" GPU is preferable. i threw my old 1650 in there and it works fine for a stream or two.
i'd just like to interject for a moment
i've been doing cs for a year now with a coreboot'd t440p. if anything, it's gotten me some greetz from my profs, lmao
i've made do with libreoffice just fine, i submit most of my labs in odt without issue
keep a VM for labs in case they require windows, on machine or a home server. pick your poison
i'd assume this might be a drive issue rather than a distro / linux issue. iirc i installed debian from CD a few months back on a thinkpad because i was bored... hah, parties. you're funny. undervolting thinkpads while procrastinating finals. that's my kind of shit.
i really would like to run my own peertube instance, but until i get a symmetric connection, i just don't have the uplink. :(
i hate to be a pedant (who am i kidding, i love to be) but they didn't really invent electricity, so much as discover it and improve on existing technologies. ben franklin was writing about lightning rods a century before. also autoerotic asphyxiation. that's true, look it up.
you're evil. i love it.
on my campus, there's a stack of several dozen desktops just out in the open (in a basement)
plus a dumpster worth on monitors, peripherals, and at least one ipad with multiple bullet holes. the screen is fine -- somebody pulled the screen off, then shot the logic board. i have so many questions
i love backwards compatibility as much as the next guy, but at some point, if there isn't enough of a community to backport fixes, there probably aren't many using them. if a tree falls in the forest, you get the idea.
heh, rack
that is hot
