My recommendation for that price range is to buy a used business-class laptop. Emphasis on the business-class. These are the Dell Latitudes and the HP ProBooks. Try to find something less-than five years old (businesses tend to phase out older laptops in the three or four year mark). Buy from a reputable re-seller that offers support in case you get a lemon.
It won’t be the fastest or sexiest laptop out there. But it will be long lasting and reliable.
Maybe something I should look into again.
Yes! I’ve used that before.
I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.
I have a Windows VM on my server. If I need MS Office or any Windows-only program I just use Remmina to RDP in and get stuff done.
Windows has pretty good touch support over RDP so I can even do this from my phone or tablet if I need a full desktop on the go (using a VPN).
He probably has an additional MSO because of some event in career. Certain schooling and assignments may incur an additional service obligation. The Army wants to avoid spending a lot of money on training its officers only to have them immediately drop their REFRAD paperwork.
I got a carbonization machine. I’ve been drinking way more water these days. I always thought I liked soda because of the sugar. Actually I liked the fizziness. It gets fizzier than anything else I’ve ever drank.
America ya!
Hallo! Hallo! Hallo! Hallo!
I would have to be a mutual agreement between communities. Moderation in such a setup would be tricky (can mods take actions on users or posts that technically don’t reside in their community?)
The ability for communities across different instances behave like one. We don’t need ten different communities doing the exact same thing.
We don’t need to be as big as Facebook but three or four times more users would probably be ideal.
I bet manpower costs are significant as well. How many people are needed to run this thing? You probably need engineers with an esoteric set of skills to put it back together and manage it which would not be cheap.
Edit: I looked it up, it is running SUSE Enterprise Linux, so maybe management isn’t as specialized as I expected.
Wow, fuck this person. What an unhinged thing to admit to in your own fucking book. Who thought that would be a good idea?
Yeah, I always remember the first game the best. It was an RPG first and a shooter second. The vehicle sections, while terrible did provide a sense of scale that the other games lacked.
Never used that tool so I can’t really say :(
I think there are two options personally.
The Windows 11 LTSC version just leaked on Chinese forums. I wouldn’t use that ISO but would wait for the official release. Seems like the “best” version of Windows.
Use Chris Titus’ WinUtil on a normal install: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil. He has put a lot of effort into this tool and it works great.
If you want to go full try-hard you can do it yourself. Buy NTLite and go to town on stripping stuff out. You’ll probably break something but it is fun to play with.
Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) by Praxis is really bizarre and amazing.
King Arthur just blowing away the Black Knight with an M60.
Yeah I think the distro is less important. Really it’s choosing a lightweight DE + web browser will determine if a machine that old will work.
Check out Looking Glass.
God I wish. It was a purer time.
Now it’s mostly about feeding people ads.
Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.
Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.
