Man, chronic fatigue is a fucking bitch.
Got a new PC today and I legitimately can't even move it anymore. Just bringing it inside caused my energy to drain near zero (plus the lovely side effects of my body thinking it was exercising and causing pains and other discomfort because why the fuck not).
I'll have to set it up on my desk and everything tomorrow or Friday. Chassis too heavy, also have to set up new UPS, even heavier.
Might have to do this over three or four days, actually. Rest day in between because also software setup and restoring some backups and getting all my system settings in order. At least some of it can be reliably automated with Chris Titus' Windows utility, so that's nice.
(Then I also need to replug the old one in and properly erase the SATA SSDs before opening that up and removing them, but that can probably wait until next week anyway since it's not going anywhere anytime soon.)
Suggestion: Keep the SSDs and get external housings. They're unlikely to generate any significant income, so using them as backups may be the better solution.
Yeah, that's what I plan on doing. I have several drives from older devices and external enclosures. I never really see the point in selling or getting rid of still working drives. More storage, more backups, slightly more redundancy.
You can say that again!
