This is awesome advice, I appreciate it! Definitely feeling the lack of strength in my legs and I need to work on squats and back shape.
I don’t know if you are based in the US, but I need to figure out where I can watch some professional games on TV. We usually get the Six Nations, but outside of that I might need to look further afield.
Your last comment was inspiring AF, I’m hurting today, but it felt good to meet some people and move my body.
Did you struggle with imposter syndrome or embarrassment when you first started? I definitely felt like I was bumbling around last night and had to tap out a few times.
I’ll probably get some hate from the pure JRPG community for this comment (and I don’t disagree either)…
I loved Lunar: Silver Star Harmony when it came out. I didn’t play the originals, I’d just moved to the states and was living on a couch at my mom’s place and honestly things weren’t great for me… but I did bring my PSP with me and picked up Lunar.
I fell in love with that game, the music, anime cutscenes and I also really liked the art style (the comment that will piss off a lot of ppl) because I didn’t have the nostalgia. I was able to put my headphones on and escape for a bit!
I recently got the Lunar Remastered Collection on Steam and it didn’t hit the same way as it did on the PSP. That game got me through some tough times!
I was looking 2 weeks ago when I was getting tired of waiting for Steam Machine updates. They were closer to $150-$175, so they are going to keep increasing.
Nice, I’ve got a Mac Studio M1 Max with 32GB of RAM that I use with Ollama and then I host OpenWebUI and OpenCode on my Arch Server. I use the Mac as a primary workstation, so it’s a little rough when I start running a model. I’m sure I could probably do and learn more about Ollama to improve my experience, but for now it works for certain tasks.
We didn’t go down to the loop or anywhere else in Hakone due to time, we mostly did the museum and stayed in an adorable ryokan with an onsen that was nearby! The food options were a little limited, but it was so cute in that part of town. If we stayed longer we definitely would have explored more.
The open air museum was one of the best parts of our trip! Insane how they have this huge collection of sculptures in the middle of the mountains! A lot of big names and some really cool Japanese artists I’d never experienced before!
In the exact same boat, I’d love to know what apps people are using (tvOS & iOS)? I don’t have Plex accessible from outside my LAN (I use DirectPlay most of the time), but I do download to my iPhone/iPad with the Plex app for when I travel. Considering the questionable decisions Plex keeps making, I’m leaning towards switching to Jellyfin.

We’re not vegan/vegetarian but with the increasing meat costs and environmental impacts it has, we’ve leaned into this book a lot. Also so cheap to soak a 1lb bag of beans the night before.
I second this, my old server was previously OMV and then Proxmox. But with my replacement server I went Arch after loving my Steam Deck experience. You’ll learn a lot and I feel like the complaints of it constantly breaking aren’t true if you put a little effort before running updates. I mostly use it headless for remote development (LazyVim) and running containers (moved to Podman from Docker), but I also use Niri for the DE when I do need to use a monitor, for example playing Dwarf Fortress.
Got my wife a Kobo for her birthday to replace her aging Kindle. She’s bought 1 book so far and gonna look at the Library integration.
Anyone got any tips for ways to use the Kobo? For example I have Calibre on my Mac and have used that to copy books I’ve “acquired” for her, is there any benefit in self hosting Calibre? Is it possible to get her Kindle books on the Kobo or is the DRM a nightmare nowadays?
After university I was looking for any part time work I could find. This was in 2007-2008, so the job market wasn’t particularly good in the UK. Ended up at a company that did over the phone charity donations. I wasn’t working for a specific charity, it was a company hired by charities to make cold calls. Called a lady who said she was going through chemo and lost her job recently, although she really would love to help a children’s hospital, she couldn’t afford it. Asshole manager is listening in on the call, makes a hand motion and mouths to me “keep pushing, it’s just excuses”. I apologized for taking up the ladies time and said I hoped her treatment goes well. Hung up, took off the headset and walked out the door. One of the best decisions I’ve made in my life!

Oh and GTA: Chinatown Wars is phenomenal!
I use Karakeep which uses Mellisearch as a part of its stack
I’d also include…
The 40 CU unlock is a lottery, you could get a damaged unit and not be able to reach that many compute units.
Great shout out! That’s my plan, keep it under desk connected to my monitor or move it to the living room, but never left idle if not in use.
Yup! I paid $217 USD with shipping

What spec Mini do you use?
I was referring to the first batch… when an abundance of scalpers forced me to press the order button for 45 minutes and then told me it’s sold out.
I don’t disagree (I’m an Englishman who lives in NYC), but… Chicago, Philly and Boston have similar architecture

Did you need to buy Infuse Pro or does the free version work for most use cases?

I selfhost ByteStash and then save anything I use frequently and reference it when I need it.
Hey HybridSarcasm
Pulled this together this afternoon, let me know if it's missing any key details.
/etc/config/networkHow do you have your switches configured?
