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

Based on that and a few other reviews I'm thinking that even though I'd see a difference, I'd rather wait and save for a something that would give me a bigger increase later on.

Thank you

Good to know. I'm wondering if that of the 6800xt might be the way to go later in the year if prices go down enough.

Thanks, but that is out of budget at the moment.

Thanks. You're probably right. I never know what websites I can trust in terms of reviews for these things. I'll bookmark that one.

Thank you. I'm thinking waiting for the 6800XT to come down in price a bit would be best based on that.

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 Drive to Survive Christian Horner had the audacity to question whether the new Ferrari was red. Take a look in the mirror, man.

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.

I'm going to bed.

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