Bed mattress. Sleep is important.

My HP ProLiant DL380 Gen8 (awesome name, ik)

Was randomly scrolling through a local 2nd hand marketplace and saw it for an absolutely killer price and just bought it.

Thing’s been great as a homelab/VM server/ Local dev server/NAS.

Idk if it’s normal, but sure is sad…

I don’t use twitter

Spotify… It’s very convenient

I mean, all of my cables are CAT 5e and I can easily pull a gigabit down and up from my NAS… Which has a gigabit NIC, so ig you’re right.

CAT8 40MB/s

I think you went a but overkill with that one, high quality CAT6 cables would have done the same job, but hey, if it works, it works.

If you hate it so much… why are you on it atm?

2020 called, they want their opinion back I respectfully disagree

Coque… say that word

I’m just a massive nerd and feel like switching things up a little from time to time.

I multiboot 4 OSs…

Windows 10… some old, pirated patch.

Fedora 40

Gentoo

Arch (my current daily driver)

I switched to linux a while ago, back when windows 11 was 1st announced and never looked back. Looks hard, but as long as you don’t think you can use a Linux distro the same way you use windows, you’ll be fine. Think of a Linux distro as “desktop android”. Downloading stuff from the internet should be your last resort, after going to the built-in app center.

The main things for me are: Wireguard, NextCloud and an NFS/SMB share and a torrent client (Deluge)

You mean there are people who don’t spend 30 minutes in the shower contemplating their life choices?

It’s all been downhill since Windows 7. All versions of windows after 7 are just windows 7 with extra bloatware, garbage and Ads.

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.

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…

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

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