I bought a QNAP TL-D800S disk shelf (it does have 8 slots and not 5) and an old used Fujitsu Esprimo on eBay. That means I can replace the PC with something more powerful in the future if I need to without having to worry about the disks. Works great so far with the 5 disks I have in it and the two stack on top of each other perfectly.
If you can connect it to the SBC, yeah. This one comes with a PCIe card and you connect it with SAS cables (it unfortunately only does SATA for the drives though). The disks show up as separate independent devices and you can just combine them with mdraid or whatever.
There’s also a USB C variant of it but that seemed more sketchy to me.
I 'd like to get some AA (not AAA) games to play as I tend to like games in that category the most. If anyone has good suggestions, or better a full list of games to check out, that would be very appreciated....
I’m a long time Windows user who has experience with WSL. Last year, I needed a laptop for university, and out of laziness, opted for a Macbook since, although they’re expensive as hell, are reasonably reliable....
Take something with KDE Plasma. I have mine set up to work as close to Mac as possible (command key as the main modifier, all the Mac shortcuts for the window manager and KDE applications, top menu bar, dock, probably more). Took a bit to set up but now it doesn’t nearly throw me off as much anymore when switching between the two.
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
I really hope you enjoy Thief 1/2! The two are some of my top games of all time and the second one is after 25 years still the best pure stealth game.
As was already said, do make sure to install TFix or T2Fix (depending on the game) to get widescreen/high resolution renderer and just modern hardware support in general.

Yeah, but it isn’t noticeably “less stable” if at all anymore* unless you mean stable as in “essentially in maintenance mode”, and clearly good enough for SLES to make it the default. Stop spreading outdated FUD and make backups regularly if you care about your documents (ext4 won’t save you from disk failure either which is probably the more likely scenario).
not talking about the RAID 5/6 modes, but those are explicitly marked unstable
You wouldn’t have Wayland if it weren’t for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.
Bit rich to say that considering the reason most very useful and well written Wayland protocol proposals that would get it up to par with X11 are rejected is because Gnome vetoes it since it doesn’t match their vision for the Gnome desktop
$10 per month and all you get is 5 IPv6 addresses (I assume that’s what they mean by “5 Static Visible IPv6 Tunnels”)? What a shameless scam.
Edit: Though maybe you’re paying for the “Tier-1 (as in ISP?) Bandwidth”. But if they want me to take them seriously, they need to give me a /64 prefix instead of a measly 5 addresses.
Yeah, tunnelbroker.net is what I use. It works behind NAT too, and they even give you a /48! For free!
To be clear I wouldn’t mind paying for guaranteed speeds because the he.net tunnel can be a bit slow at times. My problem with this is that they don’t give you a /64 which basically makes it useless for anything but the “host a couple services” use case. Most people who would consider this, including me, probably don’t have IPv6 connectivity from their ISP at all and would like to get routable IPv6 address space for their home network.
For those of you who don’t know, Linux From Scratch is a project that teaches you how to compile your own custom distro, with everything compiled from source code....
It’s definitely on my Linux bucket list. I’ve been kinda thinking about making a distro myself (specifically because I want to try some unusual and niche things in terms of system layout and package management), and that would be a good starting point.
Set ForwardToSyslog=yes in journald.conf and install a syslog daemon. Also optionally Storage=volatile (I wouldn’t set Storage=none unless you want systemd to no longer show you any logs anywhere including in systemctl status because I assume it will do that)
