I support encouraging Americans to make their own food with real ingredients, both in and of itself and for keeping our HHS Secretary out of trouble. With that being said, I fear his […]

I have a librebooted Lenovo T400 laptop which I picked up on Ebay a few years ago. I went to turn it on for the first time in a few weeks and, to my great disappointment, the screen did not turn on. I did some research and determined that the culprit could be the RAM. The laptop came to me with a spinning hard drive and 4 GB of RAM (2×2). I replaced the hard drive with a solid state drive and doubled the RAM to 8 GB (4×4). The laptop’s screen powered on when I removed one of the new RAM sticks. I got rid of the broken RAM and re-inserted one of the original 2 GB sticks of RAM (so we now have 6 GB total) while waiting for a new order of two 4 GB sticks. I also ordered new case screws since I have a few missing screws and two of the screws that were holding the palm rest seem to not fit correctly. At least it works, I suppose.

I had to buy case-fans for my current computer, which I built back in August 2020. I have had issues with the fans rotating askew and making an unpleasant noise. I had already replaced two before one of my replacement fans started to go. In February, I fixed the replacement fan by punching the top of my computer case. Unfortunately, the punch solution became unreliable on the morning of October 26, 2024. Having work to do, I unplugged the offending fan. I think I can harvest case fans from my previous desktop PC, which I built in 2011.

2020 Computer Build in Photos

I describe the process I went through to replace a lemon of a motherboard, complete my computer build, and install Manjaro Linux.

Fulcrum looking fire rn 🔥

Just gave it a good clean and repositioned the external CPU fan from the rear of the cooler to the front. It blocks the RAM a little but it still looks good, especially from a front angle.

The case has its quirks but it’s good value for money, especially with the included RGB fans and RGB hub. I added a rear RGB fan to help exhaust heat out the rear of the case.

I’m curious what the bottleneck of my build is. Maybe I’ll run some stress tests one of these days.

I love this keyboard so much! Just look at it!

This is easily the best mechanical keyboard I’ve ever used. It’s a Keychron V5 Max QMK/VIA mechanical keyboard that’s fully customizable and easily swappable between use with Windows or MacOS. I really wanted a 98% keyboard so it doesn’t take up as much room as a full sized keyboard, but I wanted the main keyboard, the number pad, and the arrow keys to still have comfortable enough spacing. This fits the bill perfectly.

It comes with OSA (OEM Spherical Angled) Profile keycaps that feel wonderful against my paws, forgoing those hard raised edges on standard OEM Profile keycaps that I was never a fan of. The RGB lights under each key are an absolute necessity for any queer gaymer.

For a mechanical keyboard it’s pretty quiet too. It comes with Gateron Jupiter Red switches that have the right amount of give without being too clacky. For me at least.

Very excited to use it with my new computer and even with my old lappy.
