This is on a Dell Wyse 5090 'Extended' thin client, which is my favourite system right now and will be my main media server at home.
You can pick it up for $50 on ebay, and runs 5 Watt idle. Check out these ports though!

This screenshot is from the CRA (Canadian Tax). I feel the "Secure' label teaches users to blindly trust that image when it appears elsewhere. What's the point of it?

But I'm excited to learn about IOS in the future, which, yes is the name of the operating system well before Apple took took it (in a classic Apple move)

Randomly found a Cisco terminal server from 2003 at a local second hand shop. Always been interested in these and learning about it
It has some cool ports! DB-60??

Now have my record player hooked up to my traktor mixer and controlled via pipewire / helvium so I can listen to prog rock on my headphones while working but dont have to switch out anything for calls.
Completely overkill setup but I had the equipment so why not wire it all up

I think Linux is ahead of WIndows and Mac in terms of the Audio system (pipewire). It's so fun to use. Good defaults, but you can pop open the hood and go wild with directing audio.

Finally some data. Computer will almost certainly crash if I would try to open linkedin, which oddly always freezes my computer.
Down to the last ~200 megs.

i know some of y'all are eager to get an update on this quest. I get crashes once or twice per day still, but still no data. So I'm resorting to running `smem` every 30 seconds and writing to a log. If I crash again we'll know it's a memory issue and hopefully which process did it.
