   Finally putting my x230 to rest, the last `sudo poweroff`. Hardware is failing beyond the point that makes continuing to repair it worthwhile.

   On this laptop I deployed nearly 60 servers (most for at risk groups), 12 tech art projects (solo & collab, some toured worldwide), & gave many lectures & workshops.

   If there was ever a loyal and electric steed, it was this x230. It ran #Debian & was good.

   I bought it in 2015, for EUR145 on the German eBay, 2nd hand.
