                                                                                                less well known is that the late 2012 mac mini is the last of its series to have upgradeable SATA drives and RAM modules. it takes about 2 minutes to fully disassemble the machine - despite having a rather goofy internal design. it has room for *two* 2.5" sata drives, and the logic board has two sata ports. (by 2014, apple got rid of the two sata bays, and soldered ram to the logic board)

                                                                                                today i replaced the dual-core i5 with its minihulk cousin: apple's BTO "Mac Mini Server" with a 2.3 ghz quad core i7. the server has two 500GB SSDs running - one drive handles mastodon, the other is for file sharing. those two extra cores are going to be a ton of help dealing with mastodon video encodes.

                                                                                                the old dual-core i5 has been turned into my home theatre plex client, and happily chews away at 1080p video like it's nothing.

                                                                                                these are 14+ year old machines, found dirt cheap through electronics recyclers. i've never had a single failure to date. with any luck, they'll continue to work for another 10 years.

One tree on the left has snow clumped around its branches and trunk, while another is more covered in white frosty flakes. Behind these, others appear leafless as well but with less heavy accumulation of snow.

A rustic wooden fence runs parallel to the path, dividing it from an area that seems to be a garden or park enclosed by hedges and smaller trees also dusted with snow. A lone building, possibly residential, peeks through behind one group of these enclosures.

In contrast to the tranquility of nature, two figures are present in the scene—a man walking beside another seated individual who is being pulled along on what appears to be a wheeled platform or sleigh by someone out of frame's hand. They're dressed warmly for winter and move parallel with one another down this snowy path.

The entire image has an aged quality indicative of early photographic techniques, possibly from the late 19th century given historical context clues such as attire and transport methods depicted in it.
