I’ll let you know… it was you who recommended it to me a couple of weeks ago!

I’d much rather have to find space for my server than for 1000s of Blu-rays/DVDs/CDs.

Yep, it’s essentially “give us some pocket change to stop us really doing something about it”.

Yeah, it has more graphical abstraction than Arch but nowhere near enough for a beginner!

I’ve been playing Feng Shui Meowjong which is a roguelike deckbuilder based on Mahjong. Oh, and it has cats! Been waiting for it since playing the demo last year and it’s been pretty awesome.

Just bought Chrono Ark and Drop Duchy so along with my backlog that’ll keep me going a while.

I was playing The Witcher 3 but got kinda bored after about 40hrs.

More future patience… but Ys X Nordics.

Given the bullshit about releasing a better version of the game for full price just a year after the first release I’ll be waiting a long time until it’s on a decent sale price before I give them any money.

I have Seagate Barracuda drives in my NAS because I didn’t know about CMR vs SMR before I bought them.

2 of them are backups, the other spins all the time. The bulk of my storage is video files with infrequent adding of new stuff. The active drive has qBittorrent seeding from it 24/7 so it can be a bit noisy.

Other than that, you’ll see lower transfer speeds from SMR drives but nothing to worry about if it’s small writes or infrequent copying of large video files. It also takes an age to run a long SMART self test - 18hrs on an 8TB HDD that is 75% full (this’ll get worse as it gets closer to full).

So SMR drives aren’t ideal but they’ll do the job for a “write once, read many times” style of storage. I wouldn’t buy them at all for a RAID setup. If you can, you’d be better buying refurbished enterprise drives but I have no idea what availability there’ll be where you are.

If you have a mobile phone you just just connect it to your laptop via USB and turn on tethering to use your mobile data.

They’ve been doing that for over 5 years. Also, “ditches Windows” would mean not offering Windows.

50w… holy shit!

My server with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs running multiple docker containers doesn’t usually pull more than 35-40w.

My router tops out at 8w and my wireless access point at 5w IIRC.

Hi, you’ll probably find this handy to flesh out your SSH knowledge.

The advert is awful because regular people won’t get it and yes, it seems pretentious as fuck. I said nothing about the broader message so keep your hallucinations to yourself.

As for your ad hominem attack, you don’t know me. Do better.

You’ll probably like this youtube channel then :)

Yep, or if you have cookies enabled for duckduckgo.com just disable it in the settings.

Damn, that ad is awful. Put yourself in the shoes of a normie seeing this and then evaluate it. Someone supremely high on the smell of their own farts made this.

If you mean games with anti-cheat then it’s the developers of either the game and/or the anti-cheat who don’t support proton, not the other way round.

Planetes, Gungrave… nice taste :)
