@schenklklopfer @Jay16K kenne ich…

FujitsuSiemens Scenic/Esprimo E620 mit Core2Duo (LGA775) & DDR2-RAM, da ist allerdings nen seperates Fan-Shroud alla Dell Opliplex / Dimension Desktops dran wo die Luft durch den CPU-Kühler seitlich abgesaugt wurde.

• Die Onboard-Grafik war bei denen leider mau und nur wegen dem Netzteil das auch absaugte ist mir die Quadro NVS285 nicht dem Hitzetod gestorben...

@csgraves @cleantext granted "#Ghettohacking" here means as in "#hacking with a hacksaw" and "dumpster-diving for parts" at an impoverished slum where people have to live off turning trash into something useable...

• Think #Agbobloshie and similar eWaste dumping grounds

PS: "Rich People Ghettos" do also exist (even tho they call themselves "#GatedCommunity" because their exclusionism is self-imposed from inside and they don't want to admit to being classist if not openly racist Karens. Kinda like #WhiteCollar-#Migrants call themselves #Expats because they think they are better than those fleeing for existential reasons instead of following better job opportunities from a position of privilegue)…

@cleantext I mean, lets be realistic: #Netbooks that struggled to run #WindowsXP ain't something people were crazed about (besides the excellent #EeePC which came with it's nicely customized #Xandros-based #Linux desktop that put the 7" 480x800px screen to good use!)…

• OFC one would today rather pick a #Pi0 v1.3, #Pi0W or #Pi0W2 which are all faster, more power efficient and cheaper instead of hardware (soon) old enough to legally buy liquor in Germany.

Not to mention being able to basically run everything off 5V makes it trivial to "outsorce" the "power problem" to some cheap USB powerbank with multiple ports.

• So yeah, "#Ghettohacking" a #Laptop that can even do a #GUI is cheap and relatively easy these days...

@RnDanger @wyatt @mrencyclopedia if it works, it works.

• The art of #Ghettohacking stuff is mire impressive than the ability to swipe a credit card…

@yuki2501 nodds in agreement There's a reason #DIYperks and other #crafting #YouTubers "cheat" by using #MDF & #Veneer, because it allows one to #GetThingsDone without much spechalized tooling and still get good-looking results...

@nixCraft I meam, it gets the job done...

Kinda like me #Ghettohacking the cheapest PC one can build brand new into a #Linux #Workstation!

@ainmosni @Zugschlus @elly It's not that easy but also if users go out of their way to violate best practises as hinted by you then the only way to deal with that is to make them face #accountability and #consequences!

• And I don't mean firing people and letting them off the hook but forcing those that fucked up to bear the cost of fixing the mess and install prevention measures if not migrate to a different OS!

I just think we all need to stop accepting, respecting or even tolerating #ProfessionalMalpractice in #IT!

• Just like with #cars and #ElectricalStandard where we don't accept "#Ghettohacking" and non-compliant DIY!

I mean if I were to drive 200km/h in a 30km/h zone I should not complain that police will knock on my door and confiscate my driving license and serve me with a summons for court - and we should dish out the same for "criminally gross neglect" in IT...

Seriously, did people in the #USA not know about #Radon and other natural decay products that are in between slate and other stones?

• For someone with an engineering degree, this seems closer to "#CrazyRussianHacker" level of #Ghettohacking than something thought about.

Also one does not simply add a #cellar or sth. below a house AFTER the house has been built...

• What are these people thinking??

• Or is she even thinking???

@mntmn nifty...

I've done harder #Ghettohacking tho...

Like unsarcastically #Ghettohack the way @landley would say this should be the minimum viable #Linux [or rather #Android] #Developer #Workstation...

With a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W and a tablet keyboard sleeve...

@ptoothfish all fixes are valid, even if those are #Ghettohacking...

*points at #LouisRossmann harvesting #ISL9240's from an #Apple Battery Bank in order to fix MacBookPro's... *

@sirsquishy @7666 yeah.

I'd rather pay the added cost for some box certified for TrueNAS by iXsystems but then again I've also happily used an original Raspberry Pi Model B with USB HDDs and that was fast enough on minidlna and samba for being the "data landfill" to just dump shit on or pull stuff from.

Again: I can do #Ghettohacking too, I jist prefer to do things once and good that twice cuz I was forced to flextape a solution out of thin air.

#MattKC really reached a new level of #Ghettohacking:

Just relocate caps by soldiering them to a paperclip - lol.
