Same here recently
#handbrake (has a nice batch feature) and #K3b for the simple cases and #sh with #ddrescue and #ffmpeg et al. for the harder cases all on a #X61 on a #Debian distro

@tetsuo if you enable bluesky youll be tetsuo.at.app.wafrn.net

on fedi youre tetsuo@app.wafrn.net welcome!

@kollumos incognito tab, register with another email (if you use gmail you can use yourcurrentemail+somethingelse@gmail.com ) and thats it.

we still dont have an account switcher :/

Has anyone ever seen this behaviour: (sorry screenreader users for the amount of # in this, trying to get a broad coverage)

I have a #WLAN with a @mikrotik hAP Mini as access point and bridge into the LAN; DHCP server is the BSD box behind that in the LAN.

I was associated from a #Lenovo #Thinkpad #X61 #iwl4965 running #Debian #bullseye with sysvinit and #ifupdown.

Then someone on a #Tuxedo #InfinityBook #N13xWU #iwl8265/8275 with Debian #bookworm and systemd tried to connect, also with ifupdown. In that same moment, I saw this in my dmesg:

From that point on, I could not connect any more, even when the Tuxedo left the WLAN, until I toggled the rfkill switch in front of the device twice.

(About ten minutes before that, the Tuxedo was connected and I was not, and I could not connect either until I toggled rfswitch twice.)

Peeking into the syslog of the Tuxedo, whose time is roughly synchronised, I see that at about 16:21:09 they did an ifdown, not an ifup, which came a couple of seconds later‽

For added fun: apparently, systemd starts a global copy of wpa_supplicant but ifupdown rewrites its config and starts its own, so at that point, two were running…

Liebes Fediversum,

ich habe hier ein #Lenovo #Thinkpad #X61, das „Fan Error“ schmeißt.

Das hatte ich schonmal repariert gehabt (ganze Kühlkörper-Lüfter-Kombo ausgetauscht), aber anscheinend bin ich nicht gut genug für um mit Hardware was zu machen. Daher würde ich das jetzt gerne professionell reparieren lassen, von jemandem, der da Ahnung von hat. (Daß das über dem Neuwert liegt ist mir klar, aber ich mag keine neueren Laptops, die machen alles kaputt (Display doof, Tastatur doof, Touchpad).)

Haken: es handelt sich um mein Dienstlaptop, daher braucht’s eine Rechnung auf den Firmennamen hinterher, und bitte in .de.

Kennt da wer wen…?

On a related note; I took a tiny gamble and ordered this #USBC power dongle thingy and it's been working real nicely with the #X61. Since most of the devices I have use USBC it's really convenient to be able to charge the X61 with a USBC charger too.
I didn't want to actually modify the laptop to add USBC charging, but carrying a small dongle like this is easy enough. Neat!

New (OEM) 8-cell battery came in for the #Thinkpad #X61. I'm using the Lenovo software's built-in functionality to let it do a full charge-discharge-then-charge-again cycle to see what the battery thinks its capacity/health is like. It's a brand new battery so should be good, but it needs to figure that out by itself, so to speak.
It's pretty nice to have it do all this automatically. I can just leave the charger connected while it does its thing. Neat :).

Flashback to last Friday where I had to burn *seven* discs to install a factory fresh XP installation on my "new" #Thinkpad #X61.
I had some trouble getting a generic #WindowsXP SP3 installation disc to work (it kept blue-screening), but as luck would have it some friendly archiver had put the official X61 XP SP2 restore discs on #InternetArchive. Score!
Not entirely sure why #Lenovo thought 6 discs was reasonable though. I guess all the bloatware had to be stored somewhere 😅️

It seems the issue I'm seeing is when you have the default "emerald" theme on widescreen (or maybe external) display. It shows up correctly on a tiny 4:3 display

Oft liegen Computer ungenutzt herum, weil sie alt sind. Oft kann man alten Geräten ein neues Leben schenken, wenn man Open Source Software nutzt*. Um Kinder an Technik heranzuführen, ist das ein guter und nachhaltigerer Ansatz. Hier ist ein schönes altes Modell (#IBM #Thinkpad #X61) von circa 2007. Mit einem #Kubuntu läuft das ganz gut und man nutz umweltfreundliche Software (https://eco.kde.org/blog/2022-03-16-press-release-okular-blue-angel/).

*und eine SSD einbaut 😀

@thegibson where my choice machine is my personal monster on the left. Originally an #x61 #x62 #Thinkpad, but is 10yr mod work of 💙

@RL_Dane @array @benjaminhollon I have a #system76 lemur pro, and still prefer a #thinkpad. All day. Every day. My favorite is my #x61 #x62 frankenstein

Travelled this week to #kubecon with my #x61 (#x62) #thinkpad Frankenstein.
I've done other small trips, but this was a lot more situations.
This is my favorite machine. It is such a comfortable piece of trash. Parts of this machine are 15yrs old, but then cobbled together from various broken machines. Then in the past couple years, I got the drop-in modded board from #lcdfans #51nb out of China. Now a 32Gb with nvme drives, it is a total sleeper. Luckily found a decent battery. avg 7-8hrs.

Gut erhaltenes ThinkPad X61 zur Sammlungsvervollständigung gesucht. Wenn jemand eins übrig hat oder einen Tipp geben kann, dann bitte immer her damit :-) Vielen Dank.
