Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Old laptops also make for great servers and hobby computers. If you don't need the form factor of a pi or mini pc, throw Debian or whatever on an old laptop and play away! I've got jellyfin, my DNS, reverse proxy and an octoprint server running on mine. It's the little heart of our network.
And, if it hasn't gone bad, the unit has a built in UPS!
I was thinking about adding that, but I also don't want anyone blaming their localized fireworks display on me if it does go bad.
IMO, one of the biggest risks of using a laptop as a server or some type of utility system is that you may not look at it regularly enough to see if the battery has a problem.
Go look at your hardware folks. Just stare at it for a few minutes every few months or more frequently. See if anything looks strange or different about it.
