Printing to console is often only used for toy code anyway.

Laptops for consumers have never been good, the reason thinkpads are reliable are because they are sold to businesses (with extensive service warranties)

I use mine as a low power server. Whenever I feel like tinkering with a website or something, I can just ssh into it without thinking about electricity usage. Jellyfin and such is also a good usecase

Oh yeah, it’s on a table, not the floor

Imagine you have a database, you decide to add something to it and now you have to solve 5000 sudokus. Also you can’t remove anything as well. Have fun

Looks AI to me

Jenkins CI/CD

Hey, unused memory is wasted memory

In the sense that the enemies in the first Doom had “AI”.

Using Ai in the old sense and not LLM.

Not really answering the whole question, but you really don’t need a lot. Currently running jellyfin, a blog and some other fun dockers on a raspberry pi (clone), with an external nas though a large USB would do. Start with just “retrieving” movies to your local disk and think what else you need.

• want to access movies between devices? Get some cheap server (I.e some second hand computer) or a NAS
• want to have some snazzy UI? Get jellyfin
• Want to be able to expand storage? Set up some raid configuration or similar.

Good story about overcomplicating things

I’m pretty sure someone thought

Man it would be nice if horses were faster

I’d say the same is true for terminal emulators.

It would be neat if I could use tabs

Or

I wish there were better ways to render things to the terminal

At the end of the day it’s a black box where you can type commands. If thats all you need than you need anything else.

A terminal is a terminal. If there is a feature you don’t know you need then you don’t need it. Run with whatever you have
