    It’s a place that is haunted. Hurt by the past. Small communities of friends who are ghosts. They hide obscurified in the noise to talk. Mumblings of a distance past of which they refuse to let go of because there, self hosted, they are beholden to none of this world.







  • Truely it was aweful. Visually we couldn’t see the mountain range from 500ft away. Everyone stayed indoors with the AC on (we are lucky; we have a whole HEPA and several room HEPA units.

    Conversation wise how was your 4th? We had a family gill out and a few beers and a bit of vape. Really relaxing. Had time to work on my project laptop (the Hackintosh; converting a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 to be able to triple boot). Did some admin; lowkey.


  • I’ve printed over 12,000 pages on my one brother laser printer! Only had to replace the drum once ($30); and I would buy my off brand toner in a 2 pack for $20! The other brother laser (scanner/fax/self-feeding) is currently at 6,000 pages! That one I’ve only had to replace the toner a few times. The most expensive thing is the paper but I have a deal with a few stores around here that I’ll buy their torn open reams for $1 each.

    Yeah I had an HP and that mf would burn through a $40 cart in about 100 pages. Brother’s the boss.


  • I’ve never been an native MacOS users except prior to their Intel and M1/2 series chips. X1 Carbons are just a thing of mine I like; they run linux and Windows just fine; however there is no way to upgrade things really. The T series Thinkpads are great as desktop replacements but are no MacBook replacements. I guess to sum up: if you are in the MacOS linage, stick with MacOS. If you are using Windows, then Thinkpads offer some of the best laptop experiences.
