I didn't have any software monitoring the battery charge. - ./pbg4.jpg - photo of the oldcomp, showcasing vertical bars. - made a small (GNU) Makefile building on yesterday's feed generation script. - thanks to solene for proposing and leading this challenge. - thanks to everyone for participating and making it interesting. - i found it helpful for: - getting more use out of this old computer - practicing migrating or syncing my personal computer from one to another - finding out about interesting software and blogs from other participants - interacting with people in the channel - experimenting with writing and publishing these journal files, including across multiple protocols, and using atom feeds. - if i were to do it again, i might use my x86 laptop, so that i could use ssb locally (ssb-server using Node.js). - or might repair the imac g3 and use that. - or that powerbook 5300cs (nubus)... that's a whole nother story. - the atom feeds for this 2021-07 challenge are now done. i might explore these ideas further in the future. for now, i have these not very active ones: - https://celehner.com/feed.xml - https://tilde.town/~cel/feed.xml - gemini://celehner.com/feed.xml - find me on ssb (secure scuttlebutt): @f/6sQ6d2CMxRUhLpspgGIulDxDCwYD7DzFzPNr7u5AU=.ed25519 ~cel (Charles E.
