Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Me when I buy a bunch of computer parts because my PC is dying and I know for a fact that the prices for components are only gonna get worse. Nearly £2000 down the drain and that's not even including the GPU!
Oof. The second-hand market is full of stuff that businesses are throwing out since they won't run Win11, but which run Linux perfectly well. I've just recently replaced my NAS / home server with a £20 core i5 mini-PC that if anything is a bit overpowered for the job. Runs Mint desktop very nicely.
I'd imagine that if you're spending a hundred times as much, then you don't just have "web and office" in mind, though...
Aww, that blows. Good news is you can recoup some of your costs by parting out your old rig.
