My wife is under the computer desk of her nonagenarian mother, and has just found a Raspberry Pi
No, no idea why it's there
@bellinghman if you don't know why it's there, do you know where it likely came from? Or does she just have IT elves who come in and set up systems overnight?
@Antiqueight @bellinghman "I am that elf"
@simon3270 @Antiqueight I did rather assume it was your work
We're installing a Brother colour laser/scanner, but tidying and labelling stuff while we're about it
All the plugs under the desk are now labelled
@bellinghman @Antiqueight Can't beat a labelled plug!
@simon3270 @bellinghman I keep swearing I'm going to label the plugs and cables but I haven't actually DONE it yet... So many steps between here and there!
@Antiqueight @simon3270 That's why we actually took down two Brothers - one the laser printer, and one a handheld label printer to do the plugs and stuff
@simon3270 @bellinghman @Antiqueight I only started labeling plugs this year. I’m 50. I don’t know why I never thought to do it before.
@qhstone @simon3270 @bellinghman I think it is the sanity brought by middle age....
@bellinghman for a second I thought that was addressed to me and I thought "No, the only one I have is in MY mother's house"
@bellinghman @simon3270 @Antiqueight I am in sevetal toots of this thread and feel seen!
(seriously, I am also an adept of "RasPi under the desk as an off-site backup" and obsessively labelling cables)
@dryak Can you come set up my pi for that??
@Antiqueight making a note to myself to drop by, whenever the next opportunity to cross the Channel for a conference or something arises...
@simon3270 @Antiqueight @bellinghman do you mean monitoring the network to block advertorials.
@NefariousCelt @Antiqueight @bellinghman no, just to check whether mum's pc is on, and to monitor broadband speed. No blocking in place (yet…)
