you ever think “hmm I really need a spare thinkpad for something” and then find one perched up against the wall
one of these years I'm going to have a battlestation that has thinkpads on floating docking stations above my monitors
@iliana that would be cybre has all get out
@iliana I'm just picturing it perched against the wall going all
at you.
@polychrome baaaaaasically yeah
@iliana (sorry but this is new to me, what do you use thinkpads for?)
@eden just about anything at this point
in this case I need a machine I can boot offline to set up a new GPG yubikey
usually my use case is “I need a temporary machine but it has to be bare metal”
@iliana Ooh. This makes a lot of sense.I didn't think about the offline security needs, I'm always thinking in terms of like Rasp Pis these days!
@eden mm, yeah. normally I want something a little faster than a raspi, and I've also stopped holding onto extra displays, so a machine with a built-in display and battery always seems to fit the bill ^_^;
@iliana tfw you've harvested them all for spares ;_;
