No shade on you, dude... but if it's not available in a public repo where people with more experience than me have the opportunity to validate and review it... then I'm really really really not interested in downloading or running it on my machine.
I have trust issues with cloudflare yes, but I also have trust issues with random zip files from strangers' cloud drives.
I've got a 13 at home and a brand new 16(?) At work. On the 13 I've replaced the hinge and the mouse trackpad. It's been great and it's running windows 11. The swappable ports are a GD GAMECHANGER I keep a set in my backpack and I can't count how many times a swap has saved the day.
The 16 at work is way nice, and I love the custom keypad. I installed Debian on it and I struggled a bit at first getting drivers installed... but with the help of the Debian wiki and llama3 I got it sorted. I haven't tried installing Minecraft just yet but I'm confident it would work as I've used Minecraft on Ubuntu before and it was fine.
I believe you can replace anything that's not the mainboard/cpu on the 13. I believe the GPU on the 16 is upgradable which will be nice for gaming.
The only critiques I had about owning the 13 for so long is that there were lots of weird firmware glitches that have been solved over time and it's become a very reliable, usable laptop.
That's a Rollie Pollie Ollie! Dunno what anyone else calls it though. My mom used to put Diatomaceous Power at the base of the plant to keep them safe from these guys, squash bugs, and other hungry little pests
I'm spinning up a docker container of this right now. I already host next cloud and if you add the sponsorship skipping I will lose my damn mind. I've wanted that feature for so so long it'll be enormously useful.
I'm running 3.1 8b as we speak via ollama totally offline and gave info to nobody.
