I just found your comment, that was very helpful thank you!


Ha! Funny that, I had issues with my WiFi card too! I could connect but wouldn’t have the right certificates. I solved this by using an Ethernet cable.


Thanks that’s good to know! Any performance issues? Are you torrenting with it?



Thanks. I might simply go for the raspberry pi solution as well.




Edit: I did manage to install Puppy Linux onto it, but I was severely limited by the CPU which is 32bits. I’m trying another old laptop next! Thanks everyone!



Thanks! I haven’t thought of the 32 bit issue… I might give it a try anyway for the experience!


I’d like to go low cost at the beginning but thanks!


Thanks! I had installed Mac OSX on it back in the day so I’m hopeful.




That’s good to know ha ha! At least I can have some fun before investing further…


Worth trying using a 15 years old notebook for self hosting?
I found an old notebook PC lying around and I'm wondering if it could be enough to run a few services like the arr suite, qbittorrent and pi-hole. Here's a few specs: Cpu : Intel Celeron 1011 1.6ghz Ram : 1Gig Ethernet port If you think it's not a total waste of time, what distro would you install?

How many torrents are you usually sharing at the same time? I find it affects my Internet speed at some point, even if I limit the upload rate…




Nice one! Is it on a laptop? I saw the temps and got scared for your cpu 😅


Ouch indeed! I’m sure you want to run powerful applications to justify the costs :-)



I think you should! I loved coming back to a tropical island, with the Cuban inspiration.


A good post reminding me why I love Far Cry games! I got bored playing FarCry 5, but had lot of fun on FarCry 6. Unfortunately the bases were a bit too easy in that game…


I can’t believe no one has mentioned A plague tale - Requiem! It’s a stunning game to just soak in the atmosphere of middle age France.
