  • Not only Swiss but other countries as well (at least in europe)

    To dispose of outdated ammunition (this range from bullets to heavy bombs not including nuclear one) You have to make them explode. After that, they are safe to handle.

    However, making them explode is expensive. So why not dump them into a body of water (salted or not) that will absorb potential explosion and after some time, render the ammunition safe.

    It is from a long standing tradition of “cost to much to dispose? dump in the nature, futur ourself will deal with it. Fuck that guy btw”

    From my experience, you can easily repurpose any old computer as long as it boot.

    when i sort old computer. i divide them into three categories following the potential computer power.

    1. Best tier -> at least 6gb of ram -> it will become a personnal laptop. Put your favorite linux distro on it. Discover what is linux. Here is a entertaining (yes really) video for linux beginner https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXvT7hHJfIE

    put proxmox on it and discover the you are now a server admin ! Congratulations.

    Replace the hdd by a ssd for more perceived speed.

    1. Second Tier -> less than 6gb of ram -> it will be a bare metal server. Plenty of fun to have. You will restrict yourself to command line. No graphical UI (mouse and screen are not a necessity) Try to connect by ssh as a first challenge or try to do the linuxchallenge. Know that you will fail a lot, but when it work it will be very very rewarding. Put servers on it ! like adblock or anything from here -> https://selfh.st/

    2. Last tier -> 2gb of ram or less. Very old computer, it is more of a heating element than a computer. Well it will be a router. Try to put opnsense or opnwrt and learn about networking. To add ethernets ports usb-ethernet adapter from tplink or other work well.

    This tier list is from someone that have the luxury of owning multiples of thoses old computer, is quite passionate and work it the field. Your mileage may and will vary. Your need are your own, so try, fail, learn, experience, progress at your own rythm and succeed. Have fun and take care. Report if you have any success of some self-hosting lemmy board ;) You will be cheered upon and given passionate advice. Fail and post your failure and you will have the same reaction ;)
