So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old . I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?

Well, it was Ubuntu 16.04. So I must have used it (or played with it) for something around 8 years ago.

I've managed to login and connect it to the Internet haha.

I wonder if it will run a new version of , or maybe ?

Oooooo you know what, I wonder if I can upgrade it all the way to 24.04.

Let's try...

@colin_mcmillen I just ran do-release-upgrade, so I'll see what it manages to upgrade to, if at all.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

Nah, we’re dead in the water I think. All the yakkety upgrade servers are down, so I can’t pull any updates. 😞

@popey is there something I can do here? Would be cool to see if there’s an upgrade path from such an old version.

@popey @jbouter No, nothing on it. I might just nuke and pave.

When I log in to Ghost, the first thing I see is a graph of how many member signups I've been getting. Then there's something about "engagement". Then below that are a bunch of articles on how to get more subscribers and convince them to pay me.

Ugh.

@jbaty It’s fine, Jack. Come on back to Kirbyland, we’ve missed you over here. 😂

Should I shave my head

@keenan I did that a few months ago and immediately regretted it. How are you finding it?

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@keenan Hahaha I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME THAT DID THAT!

I was looking in the mirror and was like “I had no idea that this was the shape of my head!”

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@keenan My head is far too large for short hair. Looks like a fuzzy bowling ball.

Me: Go and tidy your room please. I only want to see a single Hot Wheels loop out in there.

1 hour later…

Youngest: Dad, I’ve tidied my room and there’s only one Hot Wheels loop in there now. Come and look…

Me: THAT’S MASSIVE!

Him: Yeah (looking confused), but it’s only one loop.

Me: 🤦‍♂️

I've got almost 300 items in my RSS reader. Currently using NewsBoat over ssh to read them but it's less than ideal on mobile. I'm considering switching to Miniflux. Found plenty of positive reviews of it recently. Do you use Miniflux? What's your opinion? #rss #miniflux

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@xpil Yup I’m a Miniflux user too. It’s great, and they have a PWA so no apps required on mobile, unless you want to.

I self-hosted it for a while, but now just pay the very small amount for their managed hosting.

We've been trying to decide what to do with our larger field. I think we have a plan, now.

@lulu_powerful @dev_ric My wife would love to move to Aus, but that’s exactly why I won’t. EVERYTHING wants to kill you there!

It never ceases to amaze me when I go to the stable and find fresh eggs in there. I don’t know why, I just think it’s incredibly cool that these little animals can produce an egg, every day.

Also found 2 had been snuck into the pack of bedding straw. 🥚🐓🥚🐓

@moz 😂😂 I didn’t realise that was a thing, but yeah our girls tend to lay across all their boxes. I think that’s because they know their dad made their nesting boxes!
