The impact of delaying the expansion of networking hardware is hard to assess.

Christian Pietsch<p>In <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Bielefeld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bielefeld</span></a> laufen die Vorbereitungen auf die große <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/LinuxInstallParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxInstallParty</span></a> (Samstag 15 Uhr in den <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@acmelabs" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>acmelabs</span></a></span>) auf Hochtouren: 30 USB-Sticks wurden mit jeweils gut 50 Gigabytes GNU/Linux befüllt.</p><p>Die Fotos zeigen unsere USB-Stick-Kopiermaschine (vielen Dank fürs Ausleihen, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedifreu.de/@phillo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>phillo</span></a></span>!) und einen der Sticks im Betrieb. Den 64-GB-Stick könnt ihr zum Materialpreis (5€) mit nach Hause nehmen.</p><p>Wozu das Ganze? Damit ihr selbst erleben könnt, dass in euren alten Laptops noch viel Leben steckt, wenn ihr sie mit Linux statt Windows betreibt. In anderen Worten: Steigt von Windows 10 nicht auf Windows 11, sondern auf GNU/Linux um und behaltet eure Hardware, statt neue zu kaufen!</p><p>Um uns die Planung zu erleichtern, könnt ihr euer Kommen gern mit einer E-Mail an post@datenpunks.de ankündigen. Erwähnt dabei am besten euren Laptop-Hersteller.</p><p><a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/geplanteObsoleszenz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geplanteObsoleszenz</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/WindowsAlternative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsAlternative</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/GnuLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GnuLinux</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/greenComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>greenComputing</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/grueneIT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grueneIT</span></a></p>
