I'm testing my "spare laptop" in the wild for the first time!
How is it going?
I am dubious about adopting it, but for sure it is an interesting concept to explore.
So far, I'm not disappointed. Before I left, I used rsync to copy my data to this laptop, so my browser works with all my accounts. The laptop itself is small, sturdy, a few years old, and cheap. My assumption is it's too old for anyone to steal, but just in case the filesystem is encrypted, and my home-directory is encrypted on top of that. I could add hardware drive encryption and bios password, but I don't really want to deal with 4 different passwords. The screen is small, but the battery lasts for many hours.
