I finally took the plunge. Gaming on Linux on a low budget (assembled with parts):
- Dell Optiplex 7200 SFF
- Nvidia GT 1030
- Core i5 4th gen / 8Gb RAM
- Fedora Workstation
- 3rd party repos activated for Nvidia driver and Steam
+ Lutris for GoG and Uplay games is awesome.
Main reason for switching: no Windows license for this PC I got for free.

Never thought it would come to this, but I'm forced to block an entire instance, because it's users keep spamming the comments section.
Of all the 2nd hand stuff I acquired on the last 'Kings Day' flea market, I like the Trespack Mini 5k the most, which I got for 2 only euros and the battery is still perfectly fine. #solarpunk https://www.tespackshop.com/products/mini-5k
It took me a while to actually find the details of this pre-Windows IBM PC clone keyboard, but got a lead by it’s FCC ID (“no shit, Sherlock”). It’s a Monterey K208 5 pin DIN connector keyboard from 1991. It works, although with some unfixable wear and tear (plastic degrade, smoke staining). I’m putting it up for sale. #keyboard #vintage

Made in Taiwan, coffee stains, brand I never heard of (GTC), big ass PS connector. Yep, I’m working on reviving a keyboard from the eighties. #salvagecomputing #diy
Did Mastodon stopped supporting playback of audio file attachments suddenly?

On the bright side: the rebranding of my company gave me the opportunity to play around with the custom CSS features of #PeerTube.
