It’s a hay rake design by some guy called Barnsley… Arts & Crafts movement. Plain oak top, 7’x3’ ish, dovetail fit to oak hay rake frame which is wooden pinned together. The top has been abused over the years but being oak it just absorbs the abuse and turns it into character!

There is one in the same style in Cheltenham museum (UK) but mine is nicer. My cousin has its twin.

Not sure it counts but I have an oak dining table my grandfather bought back in 1910 or there abouts… So 113 years-ish. Still used every day.

I didn’t claim anything :) - the words “pure guess” are a give away.

Pure guess here…

signal uses “magic” to encrypt messages at rest.

Part of this magic relates to the hardware.

Change the hardware and you won’t be able to decrypt the messages.

So try to move a message database to a new machine (either because you want to or because someone else has snaffled it) and you won’t be able to decrypt the database.

Laptop - Manjaro because it works and I quite like KDE/plasma.

Work - I use ubuntu server (choice) and Turnkey Linux (legacy) for streaming internally/intranet things respectively. Most of the servers are windoze (corporate policy)

PC at home - Mint (though not so much these days because of an old nvidia card for which there is no longer support and it’s not as convenient as the laptop)
