I'm working on refurbishing a ThinkPad P51 laptop with Xeon processor. Impressive machine. Old enough to be affordable, still very powerful for the work that my customer is wanting to do with it. I plan on replacing the screen, as it has a noticeable light spot. Will be upgrading with a new Crucial 1TB nvme SSD and upgrading the memory (RAM) to 32GB. #ThinkPad

gparted and clonezilla are useful tools. Using them again today to clone a 512GB nvme SSD to a slightly smaller new 500GB nvme SSD. Gparted to shrink and move partions, Clonezilla to clone (Expert Mode, option -icds, to skip check the size of the drive it is cloning to). If a Window NTFS partition, run chkdsk in Windows after resizing the partition with gparted and before cloning with CloneZilla. Otherwise, the clone will fail (happened the first time I tried it, worked fine after running chkdsk from Windows on that partition). #linux

The clonezilla liveboot also has the "shred" utility, so you can boot clonezilla, enter a command prompt and run the same thing. View quoted note →

I just got another 1U Dell PowerEdge server, used of course. Looking forward to experimenting with what it can do.

I'm serious about experimenting with the marketplace elements of Nostr. Has anyone successfully purchased or sold something using nostr? #marketplace #business

If you are trying to download Haveno, but do not have a github account, you can use this link: https://nightly.link/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/actions/runs/9080526820 I found this service, nightly.link, as a result of trying to find a way to download github artifacts without needing to login to github. #monero #haveno #exchange

"You are what you repeatedly do." I'm putting effort into forming better habits. Already seeing results!

It is so refreshing to see so many people here who care about freedom and privacy. Also, encouraging to see how positive people here are about it. You aren't just complaining about how bad things are and wishing they were better. Most of you here seem to believe that things can be better, that they are getting better and you are willing to do something about it. #nostr #freedom #privacy
