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.
I’ve been living in a flat since I left Uni (where I lived in the dorms), so naturally I had to buy a garlic press. I couldn’t find a good one - all plastic, or half plastic, or metal but definitely didn’t look sturdy. After 2 years and a broken garlic press, I went looking and found what I would call The One. Instantly looked sturdy AF, all stainless, all steel, and it was only $40.
I am almost positive this one will last me till the end of days.

That’s how you do it. Well, how I did it. It was a mono-tasker so I dumped my garlic press. I either mince it by hand or if I need that juiced vibe I grate it. Rarely pestil and mortar because that means thoroughly cleaning that thing.
