You know how people don’t like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?

Yeah, you’re just doing that for your own self hosted service.

Oh, I do both. My whole point was to avoid partitioning one physical disk to install both OSes on.

My current setup:

-Windows 11 installed on one NVMe. This is only for playing games that absolutely won’t work any other way.

-Pop OS on another NVMe. This is my main OS.

-Windows 11 VM in VirtualBox for work stuff and normal applications (Adobe…)

Proc is a Ryzen 5 9600x. Machine currently has 64gb DDR5 RAM at 5200mhz.

That’s effectively the same as what I described, is it not? The only difference is you’re using GRUB to choose what to boot into. It’s still a two disk setup with Windows separate from the Linux disk.

Can’t say I would recommend dual booting both OSes off the same drive. Windows causes too many problems. Put Windows on an entirely separate drive instead and boot to it by changing the boot device in the BIOS.

Used workstations are great for home theater purposes. I’ve got a Dell SFF on one TV and a Lenovo 1L machine on another.

We’re Alive. It doesn’t feel like a normal podcast - more like listening to a movie. A movie with tons of zombies.

GameCube and PS2 games work incredibly well on the Steam Deck. Some PS3 and Xbox 360 as well. I’ve played through several PS2 games and all of TLoZ Windwaker on my deck.

Fuck that noise too.

Dry roasted edamame. High on fiber and protein without being super caloric. Perfect for feeling full without having to eat too much.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.
