Friendly reminder that if you download software updates for Fedora or AlmaLinux from London, there's good odds that your software updates are coming from an HP thin client sitting in a road box in Surrey.

This is perfectly fine, and how free software / the Internet actually works.

@kwf that's amazing Kenneth - keep up the good work! Is this uhh.... Guerilla mirroring?

@kwf it makes sense, but I wasn't expecting it to be THAT localized. That's funky

Adding a 2.5" hard drive to an HP T620 thin client using the unpopulated mSATA connector and tapping 5V off one of the internal USB ports was just... *chef kiss* my brand of nonsense.

@kwf I mean that's one way to do it.

Personally I would've picked a similar approach or just bought a M.2 B+M-Key SSD.

Which I did in the past - twice.

Because I got a 3-pack for under €60 with shipping and I use two as low-power mini servers.

@kwf but why?

Not to be dismissive, I really want to understand why

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

It's here! And it's just as magnificent and adorable as I dreamed! 😍

@kwf I just thought of throughing one of these into the Turris Omnia Router for RAID.
But there's the same problem with the case, esp. getting the cables out without damaging anything.

@kwf OPSEC on the fingerprints in the photos though. You should change those prints when you get a chance.
