How old is that PC?

>>43417540
Introduced in 2007, mine is from early 2008 (RAM cover says 08.02.16).
One of the few 4:3 laptops with SATA and a 64-bit CPU. The only others that come to mind are the ThinkPad X61 and T61, though 16:10 T61s were far more common, and they're essentially just a DDR2 T400 anyway.
Dell made the D520 a year prior in the same chassis, but stuck to 32-bit CPUs. I had two Celeron models with no upgrade options due to a cheaper chipset, though on some models you could get lucky with a Core Duo. Hard to tell since you could end up getting a D520 with a Celeron installed and it could also support Core Duo.
64-bit doesn't really change much here since it caps at 4GB RAM, so it's mostly useful if you run Linux. Though older Dells often had Linux fan control issues because thermal management relied on chipset drivers that shipped with Windows.
Fun fact: it's basically just a 4:3 variant of the 16:10 D630.
Dell also did AMD versions (D531/D631). D631 shares the 14" D630 shell, but the rarer D531 used a 15.4" 16:10 chassis, dropped the trackpoint, and kept S-Video.

iMac anon back.
Good news, it boots
Bad news, the recovery partition is encrypted so I wiped it in the recovery environment.
I'm going to just go "fuck it we ball" and install Linux Mint XFCE on it via a Ventoy USB at boot.
I shouldn't run into any major issues, right? It has a Intel Core 2 Duo clocked at 3.06GHz.
As for ideas, i think media player is the best, hook it up to JellyFin or something and remotely play shows on it, dont need to connect a keyboard or mouse to it often if I can get remote play working.
And if all else fails, it'll be a nice paperweight next to my IBM R40 from 2003 with a crashed HDD.

Ventoy has successfully loaded!
But apparently Ventoy doesn’t like non UEFI Secure Boot BIOS environments, so I have to format my USB for GPT, then use my built-in USB boot writing tool to format the .iso
Sort of a shame since I really like Ventoy compared to Rufus since it has diagnostic tools and checksum checks.

Eh dual booting ain't that hard, boot into windows, resize your drive to have about half as unformatted space, boot up your favorite linux du jour, get that unformatted space, give it a 1G partition as /boot and the rest for / and install as normal with that. That way you get two different bootable partitions, the windows one and the Linux one that way they're both fully independent and you can fuck it up as much as you want it won't touch windows. For coreboot it seems scary but as long as you have a full dump of the og bios you're good.

I kinda wish they still made those with a home button or at least the mini ones. I wouldn't mind good IPS screen over giant OLED if phone would be actually usable with one hand. About 5S, I don't really think you can even use an android phone from that era anymore. I mean, modern apps take more resources than old phones can provide.

>>
>>43420310
>>43420326
Battery life on smaller phones was absolute hell. We have fond memories of older phones lasting longer on a single charge but that was due to significantly lesser screen time and the phones being limited to just 2G or 3G. My first LTE Android phone had only like 1500mAh and it was worse in battery life than a 3G 1200mAh smartphone from 2012.
I think big phones are excused as long as they provide 5000mAh battery or larger. What sucks is that there's no real alternative apart from 6.7 inch displays.

Anyone using some external authentication method? It's starting to be really annoying to type in my password manager master password. There is delay before it's needed again but I feel like what ever I set it to, I'll always need just 30seconds after that.

I was thinking about external fingerprint reader (I'm on desktop) but I only ever used laptop internal ones and they never worked properly (yes they were supported by the fingerprint reading utility).

Or if (You) use something else I'm all ears
>>
>>43424891
FYI: police are allowed to take your hand to unlock a device you own, but they are not allowed to force you to give your password, because that does fall under the right to remain silent.

If you're not afraid of police searching your hardware this won't matter, otherwise something to keep in mind.

Try passkeys (physical ones) or mTLS.

Try laser diodes.

If you want something you can't just forget while it's in then you can either use smart cards with a pin (smart card readers are pretty ubiquitous and we'll supported by everything) or a yubikey Bio or similar.
Regular passkeys need you to physically interact with them and enter a pin (can be text) too.
So depends on what you want out of it.
mTLS can't be used with an extra password the point of it is to allow access, not necessarily auth, only to those who have a cert. You can combine it with smart cards and 2FA however.
>>
>>43425000
>How would I even use laser diodes?
>I need something commercially available
You just need a spectrometer. It's not that hard. Then program it so that your authentication requires a set of laser diodes to hit those frequencies you specify in a specific order (two should be enough, which is why I mentioned using a rare diode and then a common one).

As counterintuitive as it may feel to some, I deem it necessary to consider plausible second-order social consequences of any new technology. Evil people won't stop looking for circumventions or ways to turn new limitations to their advantage in predictable ways merely because "wah wah it's not good people's fault". Thousands of people all over the world got their hands mutilated since the dawn of fingerprint biometrics. 2FA gave the system an excuse to snuff out tinkering while doubling down on backdooring. What you're suggesting, were it to become widespread, will likely result in glowniggers abducting Tony Hawk and wiring him up like Delgado's bull. Think of his children.

I’ve just set up my iMac for jellyfin and…
It works!
I have my laptop as the host on my local network
My iMac’s been configured to autologin on startup, then boot into full screen Jellyfin Desktop
From there I can use my phone connected to the Jellyfin App, to cast to the iMac, and use as a remote while watching media in bed.
From here I think something like being able to find a YT video I like, then yt-dlp it and save it to my JellyFin collection with metadata would be useful (especially if I can do it on phone as a remote server command), and metadata sorting/tagging stuff.
Talking about metadata, the yayponies archive has them appended to the files, but Jellyfin doesn’t seem to auto append the episode names, all I’ve gotten it to do is append “S1:E1” and etc before the file name. Is there a way to force the episode name from the file’s metadata (.mkv) to appear or do I have to re-encode it?

Is quickshell fuckery worth it? The only reason I'm not day to day balls deep into Linux is due to the shitty DE experience either on gnome, kde, cosmic xfce or any window manager du jour. There's always something clunky or amateurish.
Gnome is too limited and feels like it's made for retards and you have to tweak it until it ressembles something usable. But then the gtk apps it shops with catch you with the too minimal for it's own good design.
Kde has the opposite problem where it gives 10.000 solutions to one problem none of which look good nor feel well thought out at all (don't get me started on UX and how the UI has 10 different paddings and spacings for every thing).
Xfce feels old, cosmic is eeeeehhh needs more time in the oven, still everything is too big it really feels like it's made for laptops first and foremost.
And window managers.. well.. they're not DEs.
Idk my preferred DE / UX would be either platinum (macOS 9 UI) or maybe something like old window maker with CDE. But that runs on Wayland.

one that actually "sucks" is LXQt, as it is one hell of a unpolished mess
the thing is that its rough shape is really optimized, which makes it ideal for old chinkpads
>>

>>43450888
I'm pretty happy with Lubuntu's LXQt (after a couple of adjustments to reduce wasted space and unify program theming to be fair, but the base is still pretty alright). Sometimes I miss LXDE still but overall I think it may well be the best one if you like things simplistic but not overly mnml. We'll see how things work on Wayland though if they ever manage to make the switch.
>>
>>43451095
>We'll see how things work on Wayland though if they ever manage to make the switch.
didn't they alaredy "made the switch?" iirc LXQt 2.3 has Wayland as a "stable" feature

Is Quad9 super-slow for anyone else lately or is it just my machine?

Literally have to wait over 10 seconds for a site to begin loading sometimes.
>>
>>43451117
I'm referring to Lubuntu specifically. LXQt by itself without a distro integrating it does indeed seem like a bit more of a mess, but I also never tried it. Wayland has indeed been supposed to be done or almost for a while now so maybe there won't be too many issues but there's a couple things where I'm expecting annoyances when integrated into the distro.

I hate how ALL alternative Android operating systems only ever target the most expensive, full-featured phones, instead of budget phones. It really makes it clear it's made by people who love those cancerous devices rather than people who think they are a blight and only use them out of bare necessity and want an alternative Android OS precisely because of that reason.

yeah this one sucks
I still don't understand why they dropped KERNEL i386 from Debian Trixie while still pretending to support it. How the fuck are you gonna use a system when there's no kernel for it?
>>43451594
chinkphones for $100 have barely any documentation and/or have no way for one to open their bootloader for custom ROMs
it is what it is
>>
>>43451673
Motorola's are cheap and allow you to unlock the bootloader, but nobody supports them either.
>>
>>43451682
>but nobody supports them either
isn't Graphene currently working on a Motorola support? There's probably some quirk about the phones that makes regular ROMs difficult to support
>>
>>43451756
>isn't Graphene currently working on a Motorola support?
Yeah, but again, it's only the top models, rather than something like the G77 or even the G87 which are reasonably priced.
>>
>>43451761
>it's only the top models, rather than something like the G77 or even the G87 which are reasonably priced.
iirc gOS has requirements for "security chips" that are obviously not a thing on more affordable models
I also distinctly remember them shitting on Samsung because they do have necessary hardware, bootloader just FUCKING DISABLES it on custom ROMs
>>
>>43451773
I dunno, I'm not really into Graphene's security autism to begin with, not to mention it's basically Google with its Bond villains motivations running the shots there, so privacy-wise it's still shit, which is the main reason I would want to load up an alternative OS in the first place.
>>
>>43451673
Correct me if i'm a retard, but doesn't linux still support 32-bit i586? That should theoretically make it compatible with any core / core duo box; even if linux is still bloated compared to a decade ago.
>>43444819
Still miss the old Google logo, no clue why they changed it.
>>
>>43451980
i386 is the legacy name for x86 32-bit architecture
in theory Linux still supports it, but Debian just didn't fucking package the binaries for i386 kernel

>running the shots there
What the fuck did I even say? Calling the shots, running the show.
>>
le bumpe
>>
>>43451673

Yeah shit sucks. At least Gentoo exists, so coompiling can still happen. It's pretty comfy but not always the easiest solution to this.
Idk I really like Gentoo but it takes a special brand of autism to deal with it at times.

there aren't really that many BSD systems to go beyond these 3 aside from MAYBE Dragonfly

yeah anything beyond those seemed like pet projects, just looked at dragonfly and ghost, never installed. FreeBSD seemed good for the time I ran it (just server) and introduced me to ZFS which I'm still using for my media horde. But I'm back to just running Linux on everything now besides that thinkpad

Supporting only the "latest and greatest" for no reason other than it being the newest is bullshit though. It's what leads to cancer like Microsoft telling people they can't install their newer OSes on older processors. Why? You need to (((upgrade))) goy!

I actually don't know what kind of bullshit Intel did with Atoms, I just remember finding an old one in my mom's storage, trying to get it back on its underpowered hooves and being forced to cope that 32-bit GNU/Linux distros are either obscure projects or difficult madness like Gentoo

>>
>>43457414
The term "e-waste" makes no sense because it implies the object is immaterial, like e-mail. If it applies to the "electronic" part, then why isn't a refrigerator or a television, or even a light bulb "e-waste"?

A stupid term made by stupid people.
>>
>>43457791
May it still be useful for implicitly pointing at bandgaps between real and perceived value of stuff? A stolen key fob that lets you access some scary state secrets is e-waste iff these secrets are worthless, even if its hardware can be tricked into running pong for you either way. It's material, but it's not all there is to it. (T ⊨ an old computer is e-waste) => (T contains smth like "we're mostly talking about people who like new games").

Since we usually add "e-" in front of things happening on the internet, I think e-waste is applicable more to stuff like spam or AI slop: it doesn't take up any space but digital, but it's still a waste of resources. Low quality discussion could be included as well, making sites like Twitter an e-garbage belt.

Time to redo the thermal paste, probably fully swap it for PTM7950 and add some heatpads. I'm betting zero engineering went into cooling this thing short of "just strap the Inspiron cooling solution in there, no one will notice".

Got the thing working after working 9 hours straight on it; its a Packard Bell Legend 11CD.
Relatively weird in that it has a DX2 50mhz instead of a 66.
I don't have the hard drive working because the CMOS battery is dead, but I got the disk drive to work, so I booted up some 80's games that work straight from disk (Zeliard). Hoping that I can get the clock battery replaced tomorrow.

You could host an i2pd, tor or Yggdrasil relay too. It's pretty straightforward and it helps those networks.

I honestly don't know much about anon networks, but I do have i2pd running 24/7 on a VPS in another country for a service I run (along side TOR and ygg for the same service)
But I haven't set anything up specifically to relay ygg or anything

I knew i2pd was relaying by default, but wasn't sure about ygg, I guess it's a mesh network if I remember right, so that makes sense. Glad it's helpful to just peer up
