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.

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.

I’m sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

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…

[🆕 Cosmos 0.12 - HUGE update! All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager with app store, integrated VPN, and authentication provider, now has a Full Monitoring suite with alerts and notifications (including presets for anti crypto miner hacks!) 📈📊 ~reddit

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.

v2.0 is all well and good, but it’s still 3 years after I bought it, not giving them the benefit of the doubt next time.

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.

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.
