This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

You should be able to do everything through the web interface.

You can make network shares by creating shared folders under Storage->Shared Folders then configure your Windows shares through Services->SMB/CIFS

Install the openmediavault-compose plugin to manage your docker containers.

I would also suggest installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin for secure remote access to your services from outside your network.

It has USB 1.1, which is very slow. You can run software from a hard drive if you have a PS2 fat. It is also possible to run from a network share or a PS2 memory card to SD card adapter. Some methods are too slow to play FMV without skipping.

This is great for a handful of devices but I deploy and administrate hundreds of devices at my school. As much as I would love to, there's no way I could sell this without a really robust way of managing device policies & software deployment. I understand RHEL has something like that but that it isn't quite up to the same standard as the Microsoft admin ecosystem just yet.

The keycaps thing is a huge problem now because of the widespread use of Chromebooks with butterfly switches. 9 times out of 10 if one of those caps is torn off, the switch is permanently damaged and the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.

PDFs are perfect for the one thing they were designed for, which is publishing high quality proofs for printing. They aren't supposed to be editable. People just use them where they shouldn't.

Ragebutt's advice is good RE: maintenance. I would take the back off, make sure it's discharged then clean around the anode cap and in general make sure there is not excessive dust/soot that could form a path for electrical discharge. Clean the anode with alcohol, apply a little dialectric grease to the cup and put everything back together. There is a decent chance that will help, just make sure not to wipe off the black paint on the tube - this is called "aquadag" and it is important to the operation of the monitor.

This monitor has no OSD or button to trigger a degauss. The coil will be wired directly to AC via a posistor, so it's entirely passive and will only trigger again when the monitor cools down.

The distortion is caused by the high voltage arcing over, which droops and interrupts beam deflection for a moment. I wouldn't want to run it this way for very long, because it can damage the flyback transformer over time (although the flyback could itself be arcing anyway).

If you are looking for a retrocomputing meetup near you, check out retro.directory (created by our very own Rob Smith)

I had multiple fan failures which brought down my system, so instead I picked up one of these heatsink cases and it's been running mostly uninterrupted for years.

I disagree with this. New old stock floppies that have been stored properly are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially 5.25" media. There are a lot of hobbyists out there that would love to get a hold of them for use with their retro systems. You should sell them on, not throw them away.

Network effects mean you can't switch without losing all those communities.

When I left Reddit, I left behind the only active mental health community on the internet supporting those with my specific condition. I had the choice to leave, sure, but what did it cost me?

"Which paint is better: eggshell white or oyster white?"

I enjoyed the basic formula of past Bethesda games and Starfield delivered more of the same plus some cool extras like being able to disable and board/capture spaceships. I don't understand the sentiment that's it's outdated. Modern AAA games are not dramatically different in design to games from 10 years ago in my experience.

It's a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven't gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.

All I want is more non-flat themes.

That's right.

I've run a TR-004 for the last 5 years haven't had any reliability issues so far. In hardware raid modes, drives are hot swappable but you can't grow the array without wiping it. I'm JBOD mode you need to power off before swapping drives. The main problem I've had is their chipset is only partially supported by smartmontools due to proprietary crap so there is some strange behaviour there.
