Avant-hier matin, mercredi 13 août, suite à une mise à jour vers Ubuntu 22 de mon serveur, j'ai eu la mauvaise surprise de ne pas le voir redémarrer...
Subissant en plus un rhume carabiné, je me suis un peu décomposé en voyant mes systèmes de supervision m'alerter lorsque la vingtaine …
If my 2006 laptop lasts as long as my other machines – if it runs for another 1.7 years – it will have cost me only 26 euros per year. That’s more than 10 times less than the cost of my previous laptops. In this article, I explain my motivation for not buying any more new laptops, and how you could do the same.
Most of the 160-200 million laptops sold each year are replacement purchases. The average laptop is replaced every 3 years (in business) to five years (elsewhere).
The magical SD-card
I have all my data on a 128 GB SD-card, which I can plug into any of the Thinkpads that I own. I then make monthly backups of the SD-card, which I store on an external storage medium, as well as regular backups of the documents that I am working on, which I temporarily store on the drive of the laptop that I am working on. This has proven to be very reliable, at least for me: I have stopped losing work due to computer problems and insufficient backups.
The other advantage is that I can work on any laptop that I want and that I’m not dependent on a particular machine to access my work. You can get similar advantages when you keep all your data in the cloud, but the SD-card is the more sustainable option, and it works without internet access.
Ça y est, c'est ouvert !
Bienvenu sur mon petit coin d'Internet :)
Tout est encore en travaux, mais je compte rédiger rapidement quelques premiers articles.
