Well, the idea is to challenge yourself in some way. It’s not going to be much fun, if you just keep using your every day machine.

Some people without actual old machines throttle down their CPUs, disable cores, or limit RAM.

Others limit/allocate their time spent on a computer/internet a day.

I’m doing no xorg on a T42.

This is a healthy idea… But its so hot outside. Maybe I should dedicate time to napping.

surround it by 5 candles, light them, whisper a prayer to the spirit of the machine, boot it up
