I have that same laptop, and it sounds perfect for what you want. Cheap, repairable, and runs linux well.

I think, at last count, I had something like 50-60 docker containers running. I'm starting to hit the limit of what my 10-year-old hardware is capable of, so i've started saving for an upgrade. Lol.

Thanks for suggesting mosh! I use termux a lot for ssh, and mosh looks like it will fix some of my biggest issues with it. Mainly losing connection when switching networks.

I got this same email. Of course the only domains I own are .com and .xyz. Going to lock in as many years as I can before September.

I finally started looking into emulating on my phone, so I've been playing some games from my childhood. Mostly Alleyway and Pokemon Red, with a little Harvest Moon thrown in.

As someone who spent a lot of time learning html/css and wordpress to get a site i'm ok with, but not thrilled.

I'd say skip wordpress. I think it's overkill for a portfolio. Mine is just a personal blog, and i'm about to sign up for the $9 a month Ghost Pro hosting with a free theme. I'm over the plugins and getting nickel and dimed for features.

Like others have mentioned, a static site generator may be good too.

Also, it isn't open source, but i really like blot.im. I use it for Obsidian.md instead of the built-in publish because it's a lot cheaper, and it's close enough in appearance/quality.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like I was wrong. Blot.im appears to be open source too.

My wife made me watch it one day, and I've lost count of how many times we have seen it since.

My wife and I have been working our way through Studio Ghibli movies for the first time. So far we have seen Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Kiki's Delivery service. Thoroughly enjoyed them all, but i'd say Spirited Away was me least favorite so far.

Not sure exactly why, but I feel like all 3 of them could have benefitted from some extra runtime. Parts just feel rushed to me. Or maybe I just don't want them to end. Lol

Extremely simple! It's literally just a few screws and unplug the old one and put in the new. Took all of 10 minutes and at least half of that was trying to find my small screwdriver bits. Lol

Arch currently. When I came back to linux, I started with Manjaro because I heard it was easier. I had more problems than I would like so gave regular Arch a try and had a significantly vetter experience.

Going to try NixOS out at some point though.

Sorry my wording was ambiguous. I meant I don't want to get rid of them. I still have an old Palm Pre and Pixi around somewhere too. And an HP Touchpad and Zune...

I'm not nostalgic for much, but I love my old underdog tech. Lol

Photos are one of the few things I don't entirely self-host yet. I host Immich, but I also proxy through an original Pixel, so I have unlimited Google Photos storage. It's hard to give that up. I assume Google will make the decision for me eventually though.

I've been meaning to figure out the best/most affordable off-site backup, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
