Self-introduction - maksim - 04-09-2022
Hello, I'm Maksim and yeah this is yet another self-introduction thread.
I was searching for something about Intel ME and found Venam's Blog, decided to check the base domain and then realized it's a forum. I browsed it for a bit and really liked all the nice threads that are there. Later, when I finally got my hands on self-hosting an email server, I decided to join the forum. Venam assisted me in making an account without using ReCAPTCHA, and I finally became a member of Nixers.
I mainly self-host things on old laptops running Proxmox. My website is not yet finished, but if you wish, you can visit it by going to https://wherelinux.xyz.

Welcome, and thanks for keeping those old laptops out of the landfill! I only use old machines myself -- some would say they're obsolete, but Linux or one of the BSDs gives them a new life. Kinda like giving an old, unwanted dog a new "forever home".

I still think my laptop is new and it's from 2012, meanwhile lots of people think laptops older than 3 years are meant for scrapyard.
All and all, welcome maksim!

The oldest laptop that I think is still viable is a Thinkpad T60. It's a bit older than Core 2 Duo era. The laptops running Proxmox are actually somewhat new, it's just that they are no longer used for daily driving :)
I actually would've happily used some old machine like an old Thinkpad with Libreboot if I had one.

RE: Self-introduction - user_66437937 - 16-01-2025
Hello everyone!
I'm gilgal, I just like unix that's all.
I wish I was born when it was born, and I can't get over the fact I can't have it the way it was; the unix room style. having somewhere to hang around other friends while trinkring a terminal punching keys.
currently just usnig plain simple ubuntu for daily stuff, used to hop on all flavours, from arch to freebsd and now settled on plain simple ubuntu because idc they all the same and ubuntu is the easiest to fix.
suprisingly I spend alot of time on termux too, since I got it on my pocket all time.
RE: Self-introduction - jkl - 17-01-2025
No, FreeBSD is not even remotely the same thing as Ubuntu.

RE: Self-introduction - tabako - 19-01-2025
Hi everybody,
I'm tabako, you can find me on tilde.club/~tabako where I've recently recovered my account, and I'm trying to learn how to make it work, I'm still fairly new to *nix sphere so forgive my clueless behavior in the future.
I still use Ubuntu, but might migrate to something else in the future if It seems of convenience. I've been using the TTY exclusively in last 2 years, so I learned a lot but still not enough, I mean I can fix all my problems which are rare but not enough to be free from dependency on others to maintain systems and fix deeper level issues, you get the idea.
I wish to learn from this place and help with my questions and ideas. Thank you for providing it.

RE: Self-introduction - freem - 31-01-2025
Oh nice, many new nixers in a single month!
Welcome to you all, and don't be shy, come chat on IRC, it is "a bit" more active than the forums, I'm afraid. Wish there was an IRC widget on the website, but that would likely be a PITA to maintain for our dear admin, venam.
And, really, we are all friendly people, I have not seen any trolling or alike since I'm a nixer myself, which is... few years?
And I (and others as well, I have no doubt), would love to chat and share tricks with newcommers.
RE: Self-introduction - Sayf - 01-03-2025
Hello Maksim, hello everyone, I'm Sayf
I don't actually remember how I got here because I've been surfing the web for a while this night (this expression is never used today unfortunately as the internet has been limited to a small number of corporate controlled sites)
I thought at first that this has something to do with NixOS so I decided to take a look around as I use it myself, turned out I was wrong (partially at least)
EDIT: Apparently I was supposed to start my own thread to introduce myself
