The comment section there is all “please release steam os for desktop.and I’ll switch immediately”. And I’m just sat here with EndeavourOS running all my games perfectly like, “just install Linux already with steam”

I have some scripts that use restic to backup to locally connected USB drives weekly.

The USB drives are connected to smart plugs that I control via home assistant and some webhooks. So the drives are off and stay off when not in use for the backup. I also don’t turn them both on at the same time.

I bought an Odroid HC2 years ago with the intent to have it connect over wireguard and mount to the NAS VM. Then I could put it in a friends house and use it as an offsite backup.

I also sometimes backup to backblaze

Man suggests the next 25 years may have some surprises - world goes nuts.

EndeavourOS user reporting in. Where are the other two?

I have Unbound and a pihole. Started with just unbound but found I needed device specific rules that I couldn’t do. So I setup pihole and some devices use that as published through the DHCP. Things like the Mrs didn’t want certain ad blocking on her devices, but I did everything else. Also means in future I can block more just on the kids devices.

Ha, DNS is the only one of those that I have sorted. I have some reading to do.

In 2025 RAID does not work. It will not protect you from errors. it’s all a mirage. The only sane option these days is ZFS.

Centralised identity management, particularly for machine logon, NFS and maybe a few of the services I run.

Proton and Wine are not emulators. So while I take your point, I feel it’s important to distinguish the difference here where emulators have a lot of negative connotations.

Just Cause 3 is great fun.

I recently picked up Metro Exodus and it’s been a great experience.

God of War is OK,looks nice but felt a bit constrained and formulaic.

Presumably your using the word “brick” wrong. Or are you suggesting this poor person buys 4 computers until they learn how to do something?

Something’s are so important they’re worth doing badly.

Not on it’s own. But as part of a multi layered approach of does help.

Watergate scandal

Find a radio station you enjoy and experience new to you music

Hottest 58yo you’ll see

Just get a cheap old office PC from eBay or local market place for £50. Add your disks using ZFS (don’t use raid as it basically doesn’t work in modern systems). I’d be tempted to get one 4tb internal drive and one external usb to use as your backup drive.

I see you are a gentleman of fine taste 🧐

I’d be very happy to never hear a scandal described by having “gate” as a suffix.

For many real world, day to day tasks, computers and the software that ran on them were faster and easier to use 20 years ago.
