Weird definition of everyone, even in the HN reading crowd. Lot's of twenty-somethings have moved several times in a short amount of time, and tend to ditch the cruft. I know I did.

Then don't do it next time, your old laptop can live as a server for a good 5 years and will still be better than the VPSes you can afford by then.

or sell it while it has most of it's value as a laptop and pick up a VPS with a much better internet connection. Or a pi or whatever..
