A new laptop means that some very difficult decisions need to be made, not the hostname, or the OS setup, that's all easy.

It's the stickers. (Apart from the Cyber tape that is a critical feature)

(Old laptop for comparison)

2 Lenovo thinkpads side by side, both have sideways cyber tape on them in yellow however the right one has a number of stickers on it with various amusing topics

@benjojo needs a big fat Arch Linux sticker (even if you don’t use it)

@alyx Most of the old ones were handed to me at various events, I think the congestion was from CCCamp (to be honest it's not even accurate anymore, Cogent is fine :tm: at the moment, Need to find a newer, more relevant version)
