Nightly rsync to two NAS boxes in the house (TrueNAS Scale and a Synology). Docs go in NextCloud, hosted on a VM in my basement, which is also backed up to the Synology by Proxmox. Also backing up my main machine (Pop!_OS) and my wife’s laptop (ThinkPad E595, also Pop!_OS) using Spideroak One.

What’s the greater shame: that it’s a land yacht, or that it’s Stellantis?

I can quit any time I want. Pay no attention to the fact that I played it during a Teams meeting with Corporate last night and didn’t get to bed until 2:30.

I had to stop calling it reefer when I started dealing with shipping containers, though a 40-foot blunt would be hilarious.

Had she not been Galadriel, maybe it would have worked. I can’t look at that face and not feel it in the water. Or feel it in the earth. Or smell it in the air.

This should not have been a surprise in the wake of Kevin Hart being cast as Roland. In what world did that make sense?

This - but I’d take it a step further and use a small-ish USB 3.2 SSD with Ventoy instead. That way, your live Linux experience isn’t kneecapped by having to load programs off a slow USB stick. In a pinch you can use a SATA SSD with a USB-SATA adapter too, that way you can cram a ton of ISOs on there and go to town.

If you’re using Debian as a daily driver you can always use a Flatpak if you need a newer version than what’s available in the repos. The foundation is solid, though, and that’s what matters - it’s one of the things that keeps bringing me back to Debian for office workstation use.

If the user really wants a new browser, Flatpak is always an option.

Indeed - but it runs really well through Proton, as does BL2, so no big deal.

Horizon Zero Dawn runs perfectly through Proton as well. Currently playing Forbidden West, about 24 hours in, and have encountered some minor issues (occasional momentary graphical glitches, rare instances of dialog drops requiring exit to title screen), but I’m not complaining.

There was a native release from the jump, it was always kind of jarring being able to install it without selecting a Proton version first.

Borderlands 2. Give me a mindless Diablo With Guns experience any day.

Gotta tiptoe to the “murder” word on the euphemism treadmill first.

Rudder PCU? Like the United 585, USAir 427, and Eastwind 517 rudder PCUs?

Boeing. The 737 was introduced in the 1960s. Design something new and move on.

Yep, hard-line lawful neutral. Though I lean chaotic evil when someone high enough on the food chain starts complaining.

Powerwash Simulator.

Only gamers will get that joke

As I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.

Is it possible to run what you need in a VM? That’s how I’ve been running things that need Windows to function correctly and it hasn’t broken yet. Can even get 11 working with an emulated TPM, including Windows Subsystem for Linux inside the VM if you’re feeling particularly bored.
