Ventoy? Linux live iso files aren’t too big less than 5Gb each. You could toss on a handful of utilities like memcheck, clonezilla, and a hdd eraser. Then a few isos of distros you want to try. Adding and removing isos is a breeze with ventoy.

Plenty of these games are awesome and not NSFW. Diablo 1, warcraft 1 & 2, several ultima games, elder scrolls 2 & arena, styx, etc.

That’s fair. Could be a generational thing or an age thing too. I’m a married older millennial. I can see where a girl just looking for something casual would prioritize looks higher.

There are different leagues. Men typically focus on looks first then other things like personality.

Women typically look for other things first, and looks are second or third or lower depending on the woman.

A guy on a first date might think the girl is out of his league, based on looks. But the girl might think he’s out of her league due to socioeconomic standing and education/intellect or humor. Even if he’s a bit funny looking or overweight, that can actually add to his charisma if he’s little confident.

Guys think girls want gym-bod, girls actually want dad-bod. Because girls see gym-bod and think he’s a muscle-bound idiot who spends all his freetime at the gym. Dad-bod is way better because that means he’s not hyperfocused about being away from home during all his free time. Plus snuggles are nicer. Dad-bods don’t mean weaker either, just look at strong-man competitions.

Obviously this is generalized based on conversations I’ve had with my wife after reading articles or topics that arise. YMMV.

Jellyseer will kinda do that. But only for tv/movies in your jellyfin library.

Garuda - all the benefits of arch with an easy installer. And it’s prettier (in my opinion) than EndeavorOS. Gaming is pretty great.

Work came down with a new github copilot mandate. Based on the features available it’s got hooks into all the code in your project and your git history at the very least.

Bought my house a few years back when pickings were slim. Managed to get one that wasn’t in an HOA and fit the needs of the family, but no fiber internet. I have cable with 1G/40mbps, and that upload speed bothers me. I do a lot of ofsite backups and I work from home. My upload bandwith is almost completely saturated 24/7.

The local fiber company offers service one street over. I’ve called and begged and pleaded, but they won’t expand. Talked to the city, crickets, talked to competitors, nothing.

I set up a playwright script that runs every day. It goes to their website, enters my address, gets the message that my address is a part of a future build, clicks on the register button, receives the message that they can’t build here due to reasons. And then texts me to tell me that there has been no change to their website.

It keeps me from constantly checking and obsessing over something that’ll likely not happen for a good long while. I set up a ssh command to trigger the script in home assistant. So when I’m frustrated I can spam click it half a dozen times.

I’m waiting to eacalate things. I’m an automation test engineer by trade. I’m proficient in load tests. I’m perfectly capable of breaking their website, but I have a feeling that won’t convince them to expand and finish servicing the neighborhood. I might safely crank up the # of requests, but if they aren’t noticing me now, they probably aren’t going to notice a 10-100x increase.

I don’t watch them obsessively, but once or twice a month I’ll take a look to see if there’s been any errors pop up (sometimes lists go dead) and everytime I’m floored by the %s. Just looked and 74.4% of all my dns queries are blocked. 3x the number of legitimate requests are blocked. Feels like just a few years ago it was closer to 50%. Makes me wonder how much worse things will get.

My guess is your heat pump doesn’t have a good dehumidify mode. The thermostat does, but it’s just turning on the A/C. A good dehumidify mode is a very slight A/C and moves a lot of air. So, if your compressor doesn’t handle enough steps down, you’re spending a lot of electricity for not much effect. A dehumidifier with a continuous drain might be a better solution for you.

Trailer looked awesome!

Then I looked at the steam page.

MMO Shooter. Hard Pass.

Microsoft Defender.

I convinced my work to let me use linux on their laptop. They sent me instructions for setup. One of them was to install Microsoft Defender, had a link to the Ubuntu package and everything. Blew my mind.

Garuda - because like endeavor it’s arch for lazy people, plus I got sold on the gaming edition by how much I like the theme and the latest drivers. But that’s just what got me to try it, what sold me on it is when I had a vm of it that ran out of hdd space mid kernel update. I shut it down to expand the drive, booted it back up and no kernels present. Fiddling around in grub in a panic made me realize snappertools auto snapshots btrfs before updating. I think only once in my life (out of dozens of tries) has Microsoft’s restorepoints actually worked for me. Booting to the snapshot was effortless, clicking through to recover to that snapshot was a breeze. I rebooted again just to make sure it was working and it did. Re-updated and I was back in action.

That experience made me love garuda. I highly recommend snappertools+btrfs from now on and use it whenever I can. Yes, preventative tools and warnings would have stopped it from happening, but you can’t stop everything, and it’s a comfort to have.

I’m not sure what all data they get if you self-host their controller. I’m pretty sure you don’t have to make a unifi cloud account at setup, you can make a local one. You can turn off the collection of diagnostic data at setup. Now that’s not to say they don’t send it anyway,

Ahhhh have you double checked to make sure your GPU will fit in your case? I see you went micro atx for case and mobo, but gpus nowadays be chonky. It should fit, but I’ve seen new builds where the gpu didn’t fit in a normal atx case due to layout and mobo positioning.

I have a similar build, but everything is a generation behind. I really like Garuda Linux. Arch keeps the latest drivers comin’ and It’s a nice easy install. Btrfs+snappertools come setup by default, and it’s saved my bacon a few times. Really nice to be able to have grub boot to a snapshot and just work. And the snapshots are auto created everytime pacman is run.

Think of it like a protest. Most protests don’t DO anything, but he forced the entire senate to sit and listen to him for 25 hrs rant about how bad things have gotten. I’m sure there was work and stuff they were supposed to vote on that he effectively delayed. But that’s all it really was, a record breaking protest.
