Depends on the Goodwill; some don't resell donated hardware and
that's likely subject to change from week to week or month to month.
I have seen some very workable 64-bit boxes at Goodwills that were
reselling. My most recent salvage win was a four-core 32-bit Dell
with four SATA drives on a hardware RAID controller for the cost of
lifiting it off the pavement at the Dekalb recycling center on
Memorial Drive. Brought it home; Gentooed it up - works perfectly.<br>

<div>I have a full plate now as well, which also got me to
thinking. What drops? Learning Python? OOP? Ansible? Fiction
writing?</div>

<div>Each year I engage in "New Year's Dissolutions". Pretty
much everything that I can stop doing gets stopped on December
First. I'll still eat, work, and smooch with the wife, but
almost everything else gets dropped. </div>

</div>
<div>December is the month to reflect on how well I met the
year's goals and to honestly answer how much I enjoyed, or
didn't enjoy, reaching that goal. Once my head is clear I
start on the next year's goals and plans. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The years I have failed to do this have been emotionally
costly. I encourage the practice. Take things like Docker and
put them in your "Dissolutions" folder. When it's time to
clean mental house and start the next plan, there it will be.</div>
