Yeah you try that. Your trial isn't going to take 4 years.

I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I've fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I'm in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn't got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it's still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.

I had a 7800 with custom bios and ram cart and would play a kaboom hack that started at max difficulty and ramped from there

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

I recently got into the apple ecosystem and am loving it.

I know this is a linux community and apple is literally the devil but I haven't had a bad experience with it yet.

Deviantart died a very very long time ago. the creature currently wearing it's skin can fuck off and die for all I or any other actual artist cares.

Both are shitty in their own ways, but at least Samsung is Android.

not sure that's enough any more

 

Fished this monster out of a dumpster a few years back at work and always knew I'd probably do something with it, heard they make great gaming PCs but it's so freaking loud I never even entertained that possibility.

it has 16x2.5" sata hdd bays, still has the iLO details and serial number card which I hear is uncommon for 2nd hand servers, hardware raid card because of the extra 8 bays and external scsi card.

my self hosting journy only started a few weeks back with a 2 bay synology nas and pi-hole (technically a few years with jellyfin on my main pc but you know ...) so simple suggestions, preferably 100% local because I'm behind a CGNAT without ipv6 and it looks like a lot of work to deal with.

and if anyone knows what software is used on the SD slot and internal usb key, if anything, that would be great :) I'm assuming license keys for software or something equally unimportant because I've installed Proxmox to mess around with and it didn't need them.
