trash can for thinclients

Wie sinnvoll lassen sich ThinClients weiterverwenden?

Already done on one of my thinkcentre thinclients and if I like it enough I’ll daily drive it on my main laptop

Ergänzung 2: Bisher habe ich keinen Versandt vorgesehen. Ich habe die Geräte auch noch nicht in der Hand. Sie wurden mir verlässlich zugesichert. Ich denke es sind DesktopPCs oder sog. Flattops.
Sicherlich keine ThinClients oder Micro/MiniPCs.

Man bekommt refurbed Thinclients mit mindestens 4 Kernen, 8 GB RAM und 120GB SSD für etwas über 100€.
Ein PI ist mit SSD nicht wirklich günstiger.

Was sind denn "mobile Thin-Clients"?

Sind das kleine und schwache Notebooks?

I installed NixOS on one of my thinclients tonight, and seems fairly straight forward thus far (if with some reading involved)
At a point where I want to toy with nix flakes to see what the fuss is about or give NetBSD or FreeBSD another go

these seem mutually exclusive

Finally got around to rebuilding my PiHole DNS w/ Unbound.

Cannibalized 3x HP thinclients to make the one supreme client, Debian 12, docker-compose, containers ftw.

Old school computer geekin'... twas a good day.

natürlich... ich glaub, ich hab noch nie Linux mit GUI installiert. Die schmalbrüstigen ThinClients, die hier mit Linux werkeln, können bestimmt gar keine GUI darstellen

Ich suche noch funktionsfahige nicht zu alte Notebooks, ThinClients, Monitore, Drucker für die #Technikpaten

Aber auch funktionsfähige Einzelkomponenten wie Arbeitsspeicher, SSDs werden immer benötigt.

Ich hab sowas hier unterm Tisch stehen.
www.ram-koenig.de/hp-t630-mini...

Da ist Debian drauf piHole installiert.

Und die Kiste kam irgendwie heute nicht mehr hoch, hat nicht mehr richtig gebootet. Irgendwas ist da kapott.

if they're following what gaming hardware has done with portables they might just sell the bodies as platforms for subscription AI services, like walking thinclients lmao

Another great example of where companies dont do enough research into the market. This is not gonna be able to compete with Igel/10zig or other modern thinclients
Ignite was last week and one of the many cool announcements was the Windows 365 Link! I did some digging and summed up what we know so far in this video: youtu.be/zDwbK1OcBPg

The session hoping aka hot desking is only on the thinclients if I recall correctly.

I’m still trying to find a couple of cards to setup on mine but I can’t seem to find the right ones. :<

hadn't looked into it but given that people have run mastodon/fedi instances on essentially underpowered thinclients, maybe a steam machine (2015) ... this does not surprise me

does make me wonder about ATProto's continued existence

Und solche Kompromisse ab Werk wie im Link kann einen doch fast schon wütend machen. Kein Wunder, dass gefühlt viele für Heimautomatisierung auf gebrauchte (und meist aufrüstbare) ThinClients o. ä. umsteigen, sofern sie die GPIOs nicht benötigen

Sorry to clickbait with that title... but it's actually true. I can help you improve power use by 140x—for power off power consumption, at least. By default, the Raspberry Pi 5 (like the Pi 4 before i...

Eyup that will be the Java smart card port.
It’s used basically as a username and password in a card.
Solaris should allow it to load your last session on device (if it’s not logged off)

It’s very similar to the thinclients that make.

Lies Dich mal da rein. Proxmox ist leicht aufzusetzen und rennt auf ausgedienten ThinClients, die bekommste für <50€ auf Ebay. Da bammelst Du ein paar Platten/SSDs ran und dudelst VMs drauf. Nimmste 2, haste nen Cluster. Breitenskalierung langt für Zuhause dicke. Wenn eng wird, 1 dazu kaufen.

Seen on Mastodon, if anyone in the general area of Seattle has any good ideas for a deserving recipient (and knows what a "light computer" or a "thinclient" is, which I don't):

As someone pointed out, it's basically a desktop thinclient, so not that crazy. However, I think Microsoft feels more confident in this as a solution (thinclients are notoriously ... crappy lol).

We'll try to find out more about their justification for it. It's an interesting topic.

Man war aber nicht bereit für große Änderungen, sondern setzte zB weiter auf FatClients, statt - & da ist Linux super - ThinClients auszurollen & alles zentral auf eigenen Servern zu hosten.

Dann gab es eine Änderung der Ratsmehrheit, ein günstiges Angebot von Microsoft & den Abbruch des Projektes.

Back in the stone age the corp I worked for deployed ThinClients to all the branch offices

But didn't deploy fast (for then) internet

If I told you how long the lag was using Office, especially Excel, you simply would not believe me

It was beyond brutal

I forget if I complained about it here but I went in to do the hardware upgrades on the server for the thinclients to be rolled out and they sent the wrong RAM. The replacement RAM will be here between March 6 and March 21. I should have just bought questionable RAM from newegg instead. Thanks Dell.
