I didn’t even notice you typed hell, I read it as how. lol

No but I think it’s me.

Except there are people who buy something AND want to have offline backup copies of it.

I used to, but not anymore, except for my laptop I plan on taking with me travelling. My work laptop and personal laptop are both encrypted.

I figure my home is safe enough, and I only really need encryption if I’m going to be travelling.

One of my friends locked himself out of his PC and all his data because he forgot his master password, and I don’t want to do that myself lol

Implying that the Republicans now “stand for the little guys” is dumb but also arguably true

How is it true exactly? Republicans do not care about the little guys in any way lol

I use it for Plex/Jellyfin, it’s the cheapest NVIDIA GPU that supports both AV1 encoding and decoding, even though Plex doesn’t support AV1 yet IIRC it’s still more futureproof that way. I picked it up for like around $200 on a sale, it was well worth it IMO.

64GB would be a nice amount of memory to have. I’ve been okay with 32GB so far thankfully.

Not anymore. My main self-hosting server is an i7 5960x with 32GB of ECC RAM, RTX 4060, 1TB SATA SSD, and 6x6TB 7200RPM drives.

I did used to host some services on like a $5 or $10 a month VPS, and then eventually a $40 a month dedi, though.

True but the title said emulation so I had to correct OP anyway lol

They are similar, but generally emulators have a higher run-time cost - this is because they are “emulating” an entire system, not just translating system calls. By cost, I mean performance of course. Emulators typically simulate/mimic other hardware, whereas translation layers just convert the system calls to be run natively on your existing hardware (which means your CPU architecture must match, etc).

Wine is far faster than regular emulation would traditionally be.

I agree, but, to be fair, WINE is not an emulator, it’s a translation layer. It may seem like it doesn’t matter but it’s an important distinction.

Setting up Sonarr is pretty easy, and using it is even easier. I definitely recommend it. Works great for me with Plex/Jellyfin.

Sonaar with Plex/Jellyfin is about as convenient as you can get. The only thing missing from torrents, usenet, and now even Crunchyroll itself is comments.

“Put that Furby away! We have to go play Neopets.”

Minecwaft!!!

You can use it like that, yeah, it’s basically like a “laptop” in that sense, just a fair bit smaller.

Normally I’d recommend getting devices for a specific purpose, like a mini tower custom build for a mini PC with powerful yet efficient and affordable specs - or maybe an older used tower. Though, if cost to performance ratio isn’t as important to you as portability and ease of setup, then a Steam Deck would likely be a good choice.

I’ve been daily driving Linux since 2017, I started with Ubuntu and it’s been great. I recently got a Lenovo T14 Gen 1 and put Linux Mint 22 on it, and I’ve been playing some games on it and it’s been pretty nice for such a portable laptop.

How do you turn on canvas randomisation in Firefox? I can’t seem to find anything about it.

I got 17.5 on my Desktop Firefox lol

It took me until my early 30s before I realized this. It’s time to begin. Let’s do this!

(Next year I am going to go travelling to Paris and likely Amsterdam too)
