That was the best prank on the primary school library computers I could think of until I discovered .bat files that could open windows endlessly and the poor windows xp eventually crashed. I also changed the icon on the shortcut to the file, so it looked like IE.
I keep about 55GB of system ISOs on my server, as an archive. 28GB out of that are w*nodes ISOs. Most of these are the ISOs I regularly use or are hard to find (like win11 old enough to make a local account, Orange Pi Zero 3 proprietary Linux image, etc)
I also seed a few of armbian and proxmox images, so that would be another 50GB.
And I have a 128GB Ventoy USB thumbdrive which is almost half full with ISOs, most of which are Linux
Nice, hope you'll have fun building and deploying your server.
Cases like NR200 would also fit a few 3.5" drives, but the reason I couldn't fit my current server into a SFF-ish case is that the mobo is mATX and I have all PCIe slots full. Most of the SFF cases (even if they fit mATX) not enough space for my PCIe needs.
I could upgrade to a built-in NVMe and SFP+ (or downgrade to 2.5GbE), but I don't want to spend that kind of money just to save some space I don't really need to save.
I would honestly prefer buying from GOG instead of steam if they had a Linux client.
In theory I could just copy the game files from wi*dows, since they advertize not having a DRM, and play using wine or proton, but steam is just more convinient.
And I have a family on steam, so my friends can play the game as well (this was the deciding point in my last game purchase, otherwise I would use GOG)
You can build an SFF (small form factor) PC no problem. It's harder and more expensive due to the clearances and parts being more niche, but I would highly recommend it.
I have an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5800x in mine, all under 16l in volume, without any compromises.
It's nice to take your PC to a friend to make a mini LAN party
Pretty much the same, renting a car while on vacation would be the only scenario I could think of that a credit card would be useful.
And yes I live in EU
Having a credit card is even considered a liability when applying for mortgage here
I was born in 2000, so I count as gen Z, and I genuinely prefer using physical debit card to paying with a phone (except when I need to touch the keyboard on a terminal).
But I'm weird like that and I like physical things, like my wallet with a sewing kit and bottle opener. In other pocket I keep a knife and a small flashlight
And I'm not installing my government app, and especially I'm not installing some shitty gym membership app, when I can have a card in my wallet.
I've used .rar to backup some data to an unpowered drives, some time ago. You can reserve additional space for the checksums while compressing, so you won't be able to recover just regular .rar files.
This week I nad to install Wi*dows on my old laptop so I could give it to my dad.
It turns out that for some reason microslop does not include the NVMe drivers for this platform in the installer. Never had this issue when installing Linux on it. Image my confusion when I found out this was the issue.
I now have a Bluetooth DAC, but it's not as easy as just plugging headphones directly into the phone, and I need to remember to charge it or not to loose it (I already lost one)
The lack of expandable storage on my phone really hurts the audio player experience for me. I would really like to have all my music just on my phone.
And the lack of headphone jack is really annoying too. I've spent over 160€ on headphone DACs since I replaced my old LG G6 with Samsung S22. Before that I just had the phone, which had a really nice sound quality. Now I've lost some DACs and another one is starting to malfunction since I dropped it.

I agree, steam with proton is the closest.
But I'm definitely not normal.
Haven't heard of that one yet. I'll be trying it out for sure, thanks!

I currently have the Ncase M2, since I prefer air cooling. I don't have a pic of the PC in the M2, but here it is in the Cooler Master NR200:
I had a storage server (NAS) even before I went the SFF route, so there was little to sacrifice. Too bad the server wouldn't fit in a nice SFF case.

Idk why people at flathub decided not to allow CLI programs.
And no alisses to the names of the programs.
Two very frustrating decisions. I would get rid of snap on my system if not for those few CLI tools I need.

I would rather have ADDP
For me, being around "normal" people is just not that comfortable so naturally all my friends tend to be some kind of neurodivergent
I had a flip phone once. I kicked it due to being angry that I don't have a smartphone and it split in two. I was 12 maybe
Funny enough I could still recieve calls on the bottom half.

The clip is designed to hold the cap quite firmly. It's very handy, but not as good as actual headlamp
It's an Olight Baton 3, you can look up better pictures on the internet if you want
RIP my old LG G6, really miss that headphone jack

I'm really starting to consider an mp3 player rn.
