With their work ethic they’ll be fine!

Only because I don’t have the storage

Dishwasher for dishes, pots and pans get scrubbed by hand, simply because I can fit 6 or 7 plates in the same space pots take while it only takes a few seconds to scrub a pot.

I’ve installed Mint on 2 older MacBooks. All I had to do was plug in to Ethernet and update the drivers to get it working. I have had no problems with either one since.

Thinkpads are super durable and kind of fun. I got a bunch of T420s (nice) from my boss for free and they’re all running Mint fantastically, as well as some 90s games. (They are being used for the occasional LAN party)

The T420 is from around 2011, so if you spent money on one you could get a better one easy.

So how does Graphite work?

After reading this I’m confused about what immutable means

Perhaps with strategically placed Lilly pads…

Is ten feet per hop realistic? What kind of frog are we talking about?

Would Chloe Acha satisfy your need for a pun?

I’ve done it on a 2010 pro and a 2014 pro. Both work quite nicely.

In case you only want to search partial titles to find multiple movies

Ex: Spider-Man .mkv

   Ernest .mkv

Or because show titles will usually have episode titles after them

… I guess it’s not a requirement

Search soulseek with a “ .mkv” at the end (note the space)

You pretty much said what I would’ve said, but probably better :)

I have 3 Macs I want to switch to Linux, so I’m approaching this conversion piece by piece, using my thinkpads as placeholders. Figuring out new cloud software can wait until they’re all switched.

Cool I’ll check this out

A web app for the calendar could be handy… but I could just use another calendar app…

This sounds like a good solution. Can I set it to sync when I’m off my home network?

Ah ok, thanks

I suppose the biggest thing I’m looking for a solution for is photos.

I have my phone to set up to sync to iCloud, which then automatically download to my desktop, which is then automatically backs up via Time Machine.

How could I transition this behaviour to Linux keeping in mind I’ll be using an iPhone for at least another 3 years?

We have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.
