  • unless you're ready to spend hours of your day doing research online scraping ancient fourm posts so solve "weird issue the car is having #1356" and then spending the rest of the day using your garage full of tools that you definitely have to fix said issue, dont buy a car as old and run-down as that one.

    I own a 199x honda integra with 25x,xxx miles on it, its a phenomenal car and runs fantastic, but god damn if it sometimes doesnt throw the strangest issues at me. many of which stemming simply from the fact its over 25 years old and parts age and degrade.

    like i tell all my non-car-person friends, dont get a project car unless you want to be poor forever

    basially, unless you know what you're getting into, and are ready to become a car-person, dont.

    me with dev-lang/rust

    i hate rust only for this sole reason of inflating my compile times because its used in little bits and bobs of seemingly everything nowadays

    also the fact it mandates SSE2 cpu instructions on x86 has put annoying roadblocks on various projects of mine...






  • struggling with the exact same issue myself, looking for a new laptop but all the "linux first/FOSS friendly" options have zero low-to-mid range options leaving only a couple different 2000 dollar options to pick from which is just way too much money for me to be spending on a laptop.

    i guess ill be sticking with my modded thinkpad t440p for the time being, its age is beginning to show but it still gets the job done as a web browser and media watcher
