@m0laki: Better 1 bottle of whisky £200 than 20 bottles of whisky for £10 per year. It should be doable.

Tonight I might have lost my server "Helmsdale". Soon undergoing surgery. Maybe successful, but what if the PC dies.-! S**t.

@Laird A family member had a stash of old laptops and phones - I got as many to work as I could! Every WU Counts!

@Laird A couple of the devices only produce 1,200 WU's a day (2 prod Pentiums!) they work best with Linux and certain projs..

@m0laki: I like old PCs too. Most of mine are old. But there comes a time they become too expensive per WU in running costs.

I've gotten by with just one little desktop PC, 7 years on. Evidently it's fairly potent, twin 1070's.

@m0laki Free-dc has been hit-or-miss lately. Sometimes I've tried awhile later and there it is.

Xeon must be descended from cats with 9 lives. Helmsdale has resurrected with new life. -Now it has been converted to Linux.

@m0laki: Now convinced Helmsdale has survived, with some new hardware. Linux seems convincing. -Tout s'est bien passé.

@Laird That is my Linux of Choice too! Performance is wicked for sure-lotsa support for Mint too! There is a "lite" version.
