At work, plug it in next to my main computer so that I can keep working at about 80% on my old computer for the several days that my new one just needs an occasional click of the next button to keep the installers chugging away. Then after the installs, initial code downloads from source control, etc are all done the two swap places for a few weeks until I'm sure I've gotten everything I need off the old one and that it's safe to send in for a wipe. The last time I did it, the thing I discovered was missing a few weeks after the switchover was my GPG private key. Not having it wouldn't've been a disaster; but losing access to a few of the things I encrypted with it would've been a pain. (Although scrapping all the irRational failware apps that weren't allowed to be configured to use LDAP authentication instead of local login databases has made it much less of an issue than it used to be.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
