My wife and I recently bought an "Emma Mattress". It one of those fancy pants memory foam mattresses. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm very excited about it. I think that officially makes me old, right?

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: 🤦‍♂️

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?

@brunomiguel I'm gonna say #Ubuntu.

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

Let's try...

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

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 ?

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

kev,
@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.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

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

@popey @jbouter Like Hannah Montana Linux? 😂

Should I shave my head

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

kev,
@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.

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.

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