Lately I’ve just been playing FTL & Stardew Valley on an old Linux machine.

I intend on playing New Vegas soon, with the intention of finishing it before Fallout Season 2.

I generally use the Raspberry Pi Imager, It works just as well with USB’s as TF cards.

Any platform that believes it should be their choice whether the user can opt-in to any part of the fediverse, is a big no from me.

I’ve just been playing Valorant, might get back into Age of Empires 2.

From what I understand, the game was recently moved to AWS, which makes regional servers significantly easier and cheaper.

Now if only ESO could do the same…

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.

RX570 level.

The new 7840U AMD laptop processor has integrated graphics at a total 15W.

If your gaming is eSports, your battery life would benefit from an AMD iGPU rather than an NVIDIA GPU.

7840U for the CPU which is integrated graphics.

I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

I ripped out all my portable drives, had to make a cable without the energy management line for inside a PC.

Big ATX case with 8 3.5’ bays, mobo with 6 Sata ports, last two ports will require a SATA-PCIe expansion card.

1x 4TB (shucked)

2x 6TB (shucked)

1x 8TB HDD

1x 16TB Ironwolf Pro

40TB across 5 bays, 1 left without expansion card, 2 more with the card, following that the 4TB will get dropped for a bigger drive.

I’ll likely be buying no less than 12TB per drive going forward, no RAID configuration yet.

That’s amazing, but not reasonably indicative of the specs we’ll normally find for that price.

Resident Evil 2 (2019) is a fantastic remake of the sequel, I’ve finished it multiple times.

I had been using Relay for Reddit Pro until today, the API finally switched over and it doesn’t work without updating and paying a subscription.

I had already been 50/50, now I can only access the terrible Reddit application on my phone, so I guess Lemmy is all I have on mobile.

You can buy 7th Gen Intel 4-core with 16GB DDR4 & 128GB SSD for cheaper than a Raspberry Pi 4.

I have both a Pi4 & a ThinkCentre which is significantly more powerful, doesn’t take up much more space.

So Reddit is actually moving away from NSFW, I guess it changed significantly over the last decade with OF ads.

He owes a lot of money to banks, etc, for the company.

Explicitly closing Twitter would make him liable for destroying other people’s equity. Accidentally destroying twitter while pretending to drastically fix it, while pretending it’s failing against his will and his taking measures to save it, is the only way to kill it without being on the hook for it.
