Here’s my beautiful unemployed-for-too-long-have-no-money-dont-care-about-looks lab :)

Hey it’s more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    That’s the spirit, re-using “obsolete” stuff that is so not obsolete. And yes, good eye, it’s a Surface Pro 7 on Ubuntu on the left ;)

      @northernlights @selfhosted “re-using obsolete hardware that’s not obsolete” - I’m wondering how I could use my old (still working) macbook air, and my old Time Capsule. Instead of experimenting home lab with a new mini-pc, I was wondering if those 2 machines can be used somehow.
      To be precise: I’m totally blind so I’d need at least something with audio or Braille working at boot, or right after. Such as BRLTTY running to set everything up and having then the machine being usable via ssh.

        As for Linux on Apple computers of that time, if i’m not mistaken, they’re i386? So probably someone hacked that together. As to needing a system that works for blind people, I have no experience in that area, but if the tools you need are available on Linux, then they are.
