I don’t know a single person who graduated “on time”. This may differ from country to country, but here the nominal times are just waaaay unrealistic. I’m sure it’s possible, but at least for me I would’ve missed many opportunities, and I’m glad I took the time.

This comes at the perfect time. I was thinking I’d have to find out how to run modloaders or managers on Linux, but I guess I got my answer right here. Thanks for posting!

Had this open for a while now as the most recent tab I didn’t close. For the record there are 64 open tabs, this is just the most recent one.

Was gonna look into analytics and monitoring of opnsense, and because if I bookmark it I just forget about it, there’s a tab open. The other 63 tabs have a similar history…

I would argue it’s still better than keeping it closed though. It really is a half way mark. It allows those that do care and have the know how to actually fix the game they wanna play.

I highly doubt it’ll lead to Valve selling copies, let alone a financially relevant amount. So it can’t exactly be classified as exploitation either. Basically I think it’s fine.

No Linux support though, which is a bummer these days.

I disagree with those saying that you can’t do a build for that budget, but I would suggest looking into used parts, at least for some things, to improve the result significantly.

Since your system goal doesn’t seem to be storage related, as nextcloud includes storage obviously, but typically isn’t used to house multi-terabyte data sets. So assuming you can make that work for the “future homelab projects” to with dual 500gig NVME as storage. Search for a used mITX board+CPU that can accommodate that (has the slots), and go from there. Things like CPU cooler, if not part of a possible mainboard+CPU bundle, should be selected after the case at that is the limiting factor for it. Didn’t skimp on RAM size if you can (new or used is fine, depends what you can get in your area).

With this list you’re basically done to get it up and running.

I mean for ksp2 saying it failed cause they had “no experience with this kind of work” is kind of weird, since neither did the ksp1 devs when they started that. And they didn’t fuck it up either, let alone this badly. Remember that it was a passion project of harvester, working at a PR firm that just happened to let him do it under their roof and employment. The company did not even have any basic experience in game development, arguably even software development in general.

Debian on Servers. Not-Debian on not-servers.

It’s doesn’t have to be complicated.

Finally! I was waiting for a version of the original zimaboard with a modern/competitive processor. Such a versatile little device.

If you’re into primarily gaming, try PikaOS. It’s Debian based and uses the same tooling, but it’s on an optimized kernel. Is generally geared toward gaming.

There are other gaming specific distros of course, this is just the “Debian”-related one. I would not recommend the real debian if you’re mainly into gaming. It’ll need manual intervention and/or optimization to get games running, or at least get them running well. It’s not impossible (it even hard if you’ve got but is Linux experience), but just harder than necessary.

You do know Heroic exists, right? It works perfectly fine.

And I prefer an open source solution integrating multiple platforms to a single closed solution per platform.

Also from Europe, gas is measured/billed in kWh here as well.

I had no issue getting the app on my phone, but it wasn’t really working anymore. I’d also have to swap the battery and reprint the buttons again. I’m just waiting for the new pebble now, it’s only a few months now.

I had to stop wearing my pebble 2 hr when the software became too flaky to tolerate. Notifications would just randomly Go through or not, media controls would sometimes not work, and so on. But can’t wait to go back, as my alternatives are all fundamentally flawed.

That is not how trademarks work. They are purpose specific. I still have no idea why they would want to name it the same as an old processor, but I doubt it’s actually an issue.

I remember reading about it in german media, but you can easily check the votes in the EU gparliament, as they are public. Specifically there’s a nice list of how they voted on that particular issue here (english/reuters). Germany voted “against”.

Like @[email protected] wrote, the (german) articles mentions fears of “retribution” taxes by the chinese. And when these tarifs were announced/planned, china did immediately say they’d react accordingly (so it’s no an unfounded fear). Another earlier article also mentions “expert opinions” that question benefit for the german car makers due to their large export volume to china (and at least some of them having plants in china making their vehicles, too).

Now a very recent article from last week notes that the profit of VW-Group has dropped around 31% over last year, and a large part of that is coming from lower sales (and more competition) in China, as well as general restructuring costs. But I have absolutely no idea if the “reverse tariffs” are actually already in place by China, or just planned, or if they reverted their stance. It might also be that they just made independently bad decisions and this is just a consequence of that…

Edit: corrected some nonsense, oops.

There were accusations and reports for their factory in Brazil (source: BBC, as well as many others at the same time). I personally didn’t look much further into it and haven’t tried following the story since, but I would research if I was looking to buy a car.

Edit: Note I’m also not the op of the comment.

All of the German car makers were actually opposed to the import taxes on Chinese EVs, as was Germany as a whole. But it got passed on the EU level anyway.

Depends what you want to do. If you want only docker containers, it’s the wrong tool. If you want to run a mixture of VMs and LXC containers, it’s literally a management interface made for it. So it’s pretty good at it.

If you want to get into running a home lab, this world probably be a nice start. So throw proxmox on it and host all the services you want (in containers or VMs). Media server like jellyfin, maybe a nextcloud, storage/Nas services, automate your home with home assistant.

It has a relatively large amount of memory for that generation of system, but also will probably not exactly sip power for the performance your getting. So if power is expensive where you are, think twice about it.
