Imagine all the (real) economic benefits since the invention of the transistor being directed by a command economy. Liberties we take for granted on already flawed and compromised systems could be diminished entirely. A non-trivial part of this is that one could argue that personal computing has always been artificially cheap. It’s possible that these price hikes better represent a ‘fair’ value of these machines.&#34;<br/><br/>from longer post by <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqv5vuemdfxlv5pyqmllmecdcnw8fercus0knqdxvf005vyp76xvmq6v7x59" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Libre Solutions Network</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…7x59</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/><a href="https://libresolutions.network/articles/state-of-cyberspace/">https://libresolutions.network/articles/state-of-cyberspace/</a><br/><br/>#PC #cypherpunk #cyberspace 2026-01-15T13:45:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspars0k0hjzzt7xer9kg6rp84xlxtpm50z93gprh0drknwwrda56qzypaad9kqp7a285jdwvpmkdkq4cu6ru644f0e26e22ax8mfpf04vmgt2gtse This is a customer&#39;s computer.

PHP website question: <br/><br/>A client has an apache2 web server with multiple PHP based websites on it, probably around 20. <br/><br/>One of the websites just started taking a really long time to respond, at first, but then when it finally does load it seems to work mostly fine with quick response times to subsequent page loads for sub pages on the website. <br/><br/>The other websites on the same physical server and apache2 seem to be fine and do not exhibit this behavior. <br/><br/>The dev site version has a tool to show &#34;build time&#34; in the footer. It is really long on first load (often over two minutes) but then super quick after the client session has made a connection. <br/><br/>Any suggestions on how I should go about testing to figure out what is wrong? <br/><br/>Note: I am not the PHP programmer for these websites, but the sysadmin, but I am in close communication with the programmer. <br/><br/>#PHP #webdev #sysadmin #apache 2025-12-29T17:35:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgcz6g0rv5y4xv6k2sg7cggl3g6pev5x3d5364l5a4cdvttpunwuszypaad9kqp7a285jdwvpmkdkq4cu6ru644f0e26e22ax8mfpf04vmg5px0m6 Got a rackmount server set up in our homelab.

The majority. Not bad!<br/><br/>One sale (mentioned in another post) of a ThinkPad L15 laptop with Linux Mint Debian Edition.<br/><br/>The second laptop was a service where the customer had run out of storage space on a small SSD on an HP with Devuan Linux - I used CloneZilla to clone to a larger SSD and fixed a few other things. <br/><br/>The third laptop was a SSD replacement, fresh Windows 11 installation with data recovery and transfer. <br/><br/>#thinkPad #LMDE #LinuxMint #Devuan 2025-12-17T19:05:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxfcha4dn5c2kn46xwj390za6a4gd7eawq9yath5f9535qk6w4h4czypaad9kqp7a285jdwvpmkdkq4cu6ru644f0e26e22ax8mfpf04vmgme2vzc I just got a refurbished ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 laptop out to a local customer. <br/><br/>He asked for Linux, so I recommended and pre-installed Linux Mint Debian Edition. <br/><br/>I should have taken a screenshot of the &#39;fetch&#39; output on this laptop. Nice upgrades. Intel i7 (10th gen), upgraded to 32GB memory (two 16GB modules) and a new 1TB Crucial NVME SSD. <br/><br/>#thinkPad #Linux #LinuxMint #Debian 2025-12-16T23:25:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf9kfs2ankqtsxfkllt6qtmm0qlh0u0hw330gdfq8334w8y05cvfgzypaad9kqp7a285jdwvpmkdkq4cu6ru644f0e26e22ax8mfpf04vmgffs0yr ThinkPad and Linux question: <br/><br/>Is the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics in the ThinkPad P50 laptop useful at all with Linux? <br/><br/>Laptop has a pretty powerful i7 processor, but not officially supported by Windows 11 and the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics has also been discontinued from support by nVidia (not sure what that means). <br/><br/>... so will it work okay with Linux ? <br/><br/>Only one way to find out, but thought I&#39;d throw the question out here. <br/><br/>#thinkPad #P50 #nVidia #Linux 2025-12-16T01:29:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrhcaw9ugxlg72dthvz53x4nk8zydkntexk4wg8ev0mtje0qlkvtczypaad9kqp7a285jdwvpmkdkq4cu6ru644f0e26e22ax8mfpf04vmgx0rspp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs93ye29pn9fkxewmrle565qk5n7fwgc5xlfnq4fzyercxfhlvut9qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7ex89gu'>nevent1q…89gu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Good morning.

Yes. It is a really bad trend. <br/><br/>It is one reason I like the L15 over the T15 as it has no memory soldered to the board and two memory slots. <br/><br/>This T15 was supposed to be for a customer who was buying today. Looks like I&#39;ll have to delay that due to the bad memory. <br/><br/>#thinkpad 2025-12-04T20:34:48Z
