I like both Touhou and Hololive so I'm just posting to make people mad

Last week I visited my aunt and to my amazement I found out that she is still regularly uses the computer that I assembled for her 13 years ago and it still works!

Most of my older and retired family members have gotten rid of their desktop computers years ago and replaced them with tablets or smartphones.

But my aunt said she still likes using a desktop with an actual keyboard and a big monitor. She still loves using this computer almost every day.

So this weekend I'm going back there and I will upgrade her computer with a new power supply (the current one literally sounds like it is dying), some extra DDR3 RAM, and a SSD to replace the 13 year old HDD that could probably fail at any moment.

I feel like this is the least I could do for someone who is still determined to keep using a computer that I have built for them so long ago.

This are also the kind of moments that completely validates my tech hoarding habit.

"When are you ever going to need those old DDR3 RAM sticks?" I do now.

I know it's a big ask and it takes like 20 minutes of your time, but please join this survey and ask for the EU to not stop funding NGI.

This initiative has provided funding for all of your favorite fedi software such as Pleroma, Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube and more.

It would be a huge shame if this went away.
