Most of this setup has been progressively pulled out of ewaste piles over a period of several years and I think it's finally time for it to run NetBSD and fulfil its true destiny.
Is a computer from 2012 actually "retro"? Well ... it will be when I'm done with it.

@mike@social.chinwag.org Heck yes, more T530s still in operation! Mine has migrated from primary machine, to coding-while-watching-tv machine, but still does everything I need in that role. The only reason I'm currently contemplating retiring it is that I just received a total of 4 P50 or P51 machines from the disposal pile at work, including a pair of docks.
