Solene has announced the 2024 Old Computer Challenge: Olympics Edition
This has been the "true" start to summer the past few years.  It's such and enjoyable activity to get a machine up and running as a daily driver - away from touch screens, overly complex resource intensive GUIs and away from the non-stop barrage of vendors threatening to add A.I. to every single facet of IT life...


Loose Goals for this year:

+Determine which hardware to use & what to run?
+Incorporate Olympic terminology and puns (Please feel free to comment and roast here & Mastodon)
+Get the basics working on as-of-yet-to-be-determined hardware
	+Calendar
	+Music
	+Lynx/Browsing
	+Mutt/Mail
	+SSH
	+SDF/Gopher
	+Mastodon(?)
+Give more friends & coworkers a heads up about the Old Computer Challenge this year so they can take part!
+Check-in and Post from more outdoor spots (if possible?)
+New and obscure ways of connecting (aside from wifi/Ethernet)
