  • Console-only players love to tell that their console is much cheaper than PC, but what they don't tell:

    1. Limited amount of games.
    2. No emulators.
    3. Can't use as PC (e.g. elderly parents, for web browsing, with M&K)
    4. You can't turn your console into home server/media player.
    5. Can't have mods (both game and OS).

    Xbox users, when SSD fails, they can't replace it. They have to bring it to authorized repair service for SSD change for ~$200-$300.

    Playstation, if you jailbreak it AND play online - Sony will permaban your account (I have personal experience from this). Which means - I will never ever buy Sony console again.

    So what I am trying to tell that consoles (xbox/ps) are basically a scam.

  • This is why I hate consoles. The only "consoles" I would use are PC-based, such as Steam Deck or self-built desktop PC with SteamOS.

    This way I am not locked, games are cheaper and I can move/sync game save.

  • First time hearing about sshuttle, thanks! What I did some time ago is to order small VPS in Linode, hosted wireguard server and let my router connect to it. Since connection is established - I've port-forwarded all ports (except 22) from VPS to my router via established wireguard connection.

    Then all I have to do is to manage port forwarding on my router, but if I want to connect to my router from outside - I must use VPS IP.

    Worked great, except the fact that I used to have mobile internet and as a rule of thumb - upload speed of mobile internet suck ass...

  • Suddenly no more office-only or office-first policies, suddenly there is money to offer, suddenly there is possibility to have a better computer.

    Also suddenly HR system couldn't work for a week, so signing a new counter-offer contract might not be possible at the moment. "Cancel your offer, you will sign in next week".

    Interesting stuff :)

  • Seedboxes is one of the best things to have at home.

    I also have 100mbps internet and I've configured router with QoS - seedbox only gets letfover internet, both up & down. I can work, play (mp) games and download torrents at "full speed", all at the same time because seedbox will never have a priority.

    Using this trick I can fully live with 100mbps. Before that I had 1GBPS and honestly - I don't miss it that much. :)
