I mean, if music is all you are using youtube for, you could piracy Spotify

Windows 10. I originally tried Linux out of morbid curiosity and because KDE plasma looked cool… And when windows 11 got announced and later released, I just sorta decided stick with Linux, as by that point I was quite familiar with it…

I haven’t seriously used windows for things other than piracy gaming in a long time… I can do everything I wanna do on Linux and my Mac so yeah.

Yk, you can make fun of old programming languages but the average job offer with one of them is.

Needs to know fortran/cobol

Pay: 8000€/month + benefits and unlimited sick days

Compared to the average web dev job offer:

Needs to know react, redux, angular, PHP (for managing legacy codebases) with 5+ years of experience, needs to be affluent in at least 3 languages and must have a master’s degree in computer science.

Pay: 1500€/month

I power off my main server during the night cuz it’s too loud, but I have a secondary one (an old mini-pc) to handle sh!t like wireguard, PiHole and DNS

Yes, that one. I know there are others, but you know exactly which is the one I’m referring to.

16 GB is pleeeeenty for TrueNAS scale

I’d go with XFCE

Web browser

It’s say definitely try TrueNAS scale, it’s dead simple to setup and dead simple to use. You can also run VMs on it along side the apps.

I use Linux with 5 disks and 8 partitions. As for organizing files, I use the very sophisticated technique of: I don’t.

All my disks are full of files from unknown to me origin.

I also have a NAS which is not much better

That one fucked up hentai comic… I wanna give them mental distress as a leg up in the war between them and us.

My friends have tried to get me into destiny 2, but it’s just really expensive and you cannot play the whole story… And it doesn’t run on linux so that’s also a thing.

It very much is a skill issue. Elden Ring pretty much has the same philosophy and it’s my favorite game of all time… The difference being that Elden Ring is way easier. My main issue with sekiro is that I can’t parry for sh!t in any game, I’m just bad at it. So obviously, a game balanced entirely about parrying is gonna be hard for me. But yk, the lack of interesting weapons, skills and exploration also play a big part in my lack of enjoyment of sekiro in particular.

Deepin looks great, I wouldn’t use it but it looks great.

Sekiro. Too hard for me, massive skill issue ik. (And I have beaten Elden Ring and shadow of the erdtree so it’s not like I dislike all souls-likes… idk)

Anything made by Riot games. They are just worse versions of already existing games.

Destiny 2. I can’t play the whole story so I do not care to start it + yk, microtransactions…

Hollow knight. Same deal as sekiro, skill issue on my part.

Factorio solo. Great fun with friends but I just can’t get into playing it solo…

Definitely Microsoft… I haven’t watched the video, nor do I know any controversies, my M3 MacBook air to me is proof enough that Microsoft was and still is handicapping arm on the desktop…

Well of course I know him, he is me… I haven’t found a job yet but this post pretty much sums a lot my personal projects.

A NAS. Godsent when you’re dealing with multiple machines.

Selfhosted VPN, another godsent for bypassing network restrictions or using public wifi.

Not really easy to selfhost atm, but FOSS and we’ll get there eventually…
