Some 2nd gen Intel Acer Aspire (?) SFF with an older gen NVIDIA card. Last Windows machine in the household due to WAF.

Fallen Haven, Master of Orion (except 3, which was really shit). Elite (PC). Played elite almost constantly after school.

Ty. Didn’t want to add “I’m using Debian, btw.”. Debian ticks all my boxes for ease of install, usage, updates, software availabiliy and - most important - stability.

Still quietly asking myself why tf that is important. I need an OS to do a task, and I need it to be as easily configurable and as unobtrusive as possible. If I was into nursing an OS I’d have stayed with Windows.

Some German cable providers do internal NATting please check that yours does not.

This is too true, I usually do not touch any tech stuff anymore at home, working in IT all day.

Was thinking same, packs from unsold leasing returns. But probably not so.

But I feel old now. 1999, holy s*

because it works, even in a crowdstrike

It was mentioned in one of their previous interviews as reason to parner with gog. I’ve unfortunately not bookmarked it, though, and I’m too lazy to search for it, sry.

edit: found it: “At the very least, GOG is sure that its support for Fallout: London won’t upset Bethesda,“They’re also our partners so we wouldn’t want to do anything to harm our relationship.””

Plus, they needed a place to host that big a mod with connections to Bethesda to prevent a probable takedown order…

Thy already wrote this will not be powered on 24/7, just lean back and enjoy the pics and story :-)

Thank you for that information. It’s a company machine, but if I ever get annoyed enough I’ll try it out. I just f*s my brain that they’re bold enough to change the UI for worse.

tl, did not read all. sry, tired.

“The reality is that while you’ve gotten very good at navigating the operating system that you’ve been using for the past twenty years, very little of that knowledge is useful in GNU/Linux.”

One could add “Or on the next version/release of Windows”, cos they’re breaking that “knowledge” with each new (forced) change on the UI. Yes, I want to right-click on a file and choose “rename” in a context menu, not choose one of a ton of icons, I want excel to open a new instance with a new file, and so on. It kills productivity for me to be forced on these changes.

Would be around 300€ in Germany, on a cheap contract. Limiting myself to one combined NAS/application server atm, with the others turned on only if I want to try sth out.

Yes. Chuck some 5TB Seagate externals. They’re way less pain in the ears, cooler and quieter.

Ray guns everywhere please. Stepped into that beamer trap once, only for my non-DE colleagues to tease me forever with it.

Well for me it does not work (T470s, two docks, different monitors). Well, it does sometimes work after the second reboot.
