It has been a little bit since my last post. I generally post when I am bored at work and the past 2 weeks were busy.

Today for a change I am curious about your hardware. Do have a laptop, desktop, both? One, 2, more? Why so many if you got more than 1? What hardware is it in it? Anything you would like to upgrade/change for your use case? Ever ran into any support issues with them? Any Steamdecks or funky hardware around?

main pc: 2015 toshiba satellite held together by duct tape (runs arch BTW) second pc: an old HP laptop that was given to me recently, don't know when it was made but it has a windows 7 sticker on it (also runs arch BTW ~~am I good for 2 accounts here now?~~) and a tower PC I was given and used as makeshift server until the HDD started failing S.M.A.R.T. tests and I haven't replaced the drive on it yet, ran various things on it, but mostly centos (before it got killed) and then rocky, also has a windows 7 sticker on it.

(and like the true weeb I am I named them all after anime girls)

Haha yes, you get a bonus account allowance :D

I hope you don't have anything important on that HDD that is not backed up anymore. Because if so please learn from my mistakes and get it off as soon as possible.

Hmmm that might be a good question for the future, if people nickname/name their PCs

I built a box in grad school for doing small sims before sending to HPC. It was named Samantha Carter 😄

I had to look up who Samantha Carter is but it seems like a very fitting name :D
