Fun week!
Brought my old MacBook Air (2010, 2GB RAM) back to life with antiX 23 Full, booting from a persistent USB. Running the zzz-IceWM setup.
LibreOffice, browser, Wi-Fi — everything works surprisingly well. No systemd, no Snap, no bloat. Boots fast, uses less than 500MB RAM idle.
Still fine-tuning themes and getting NTP/date sync to persist, but honestly impressed how usable this is for daily light tasks.

Before selling the zip disk drive, I recorded a short video of how to insert and reject a zip disk.
Anybody remember the Zip disk? 💾
It was an alternative to the floppy disk for data storage - until USB sticks took over.
I just found another one, but sadly, I sold my dad's Zip drive on eBay a few years ago.
🚀 Just turned a 2009 netbook into my first personal VPS 🤟
Running Ubuntu Server with a custom-injected minimalist environment: BashCore.
SSH-ready, VPN-blinded, low-resource, 100% under my control.
No cloud. No noise. Just clean command line power.
🖥️ Specs:
• Atom CPU, 2GB RAM 🥹
• 160GB HDD
• Ubuntu Server + NordVPN
• Injected BashCore tools
• Accessed from Windows via terminal

✅ Success! Fell asleep during install… woke up to BashCore Injector fully deployed on:
💻 Acer Aspire One D160 (2009) – #Atom 450, 2GB RAM
Everything works, no errors.
If it runs here, it runs anywhere 👌
Tested earlier on #VirtualBox, but this was the real #proofofconcept 🔥

Now we get to see which works best for my church needs with dueling old iMacs, one running MacOs and the other Ubuntu. I’m going to try living with both for awhile and, honestly, likely migrate over to the Ubuntu machine.

Und dann habe ich noch einen uralten MacMini (noch mit Core2Duo) mit Hilfe von Linux Lite reaktiviert. Dort läuft der Unifi Controller sowie ein VPN Gateway. (4/x) #Linux #OldHardware
At the end of last year I did try to convince my father to continue using his old PC instead of buying a new one which can run Win11.
Sadly he was like "I do not want to try getting my software to work, I want to turn it on and it should run just like before.
I did not know how I could argue with a statement like this. How would you approach something like this?
What do you tell people to convince them to continue using there old Hardware?
