tja…

No, it obviously means it took an entire country to fry this rice.

That’s just boiling different water

Games i currently have working 100% Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed CnC Tiberian Sun Red Alert Red Alert 2 The Sims complete collection Sim City 3000 Unlimited Sim City 4 Deluxe Carmageddon Max Pack Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now Carmageddon TDR 2000 Rollercoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack Windows Space Cadet Pinball Sid Meier’s Civilization III Complete

FYI: I assume you wanted to list your games in a list format without having each title start a new paragraph. If you end your line in a double space before hitting return, you can do that.
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed<space><space><return>CnC Tiberian Sun<space><space><return> etc. will become:

Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
CnC Tiberian Sun
Red Alert
Red Alert 2
The Sims

this is the one I used, as I initially downloaded it from the now defunct Magipack website, a site that specialized in repacking older games for modern OSes, with community patches applied for example:
https://archive.org/details/black-and-white_202208

Well, sort of. Personally I prefer Heroic Launcher over Lutris, so this is a picture of the game running on heroic on my steam deck, but lutris should essentially be the same.

Note that I used a Magipack repack from archive.

Yeah, the number of “unsupported” games that I played and finished on my steam deck is higher that one would expect.

The last good Opera version was Opera 12. With the version change to 15 and the switch from their own engine to Chromium, the entire browser became static and pointless. That’s when I switched back to Firefox.

On my router, my FritzBox came with WG support built in.

Here in Germany, i’ve observed it the other way around: Everyone always puts a divider behind their items.

The main concern with old hardware is probably powerdraw/efficiency, depending on how old your PC is, it might not be the best choice. But remember: companies are getting rid of old hardware fairly quickly, they can be a good choice and might be available for dirt cheap or even free.

I recently replaced my old Synology NAS from 2011 with an old Dell Optiplex 3050 workstation that companies threw away. The system draws almost twice the power (25W) compared to my old synology NAS (which only drew 13W, both with 2 spinning drives), but increase in processing power and flexibility using TrueNAS is very noticable, it allowed me to also replace an old raspberry pi (6W) that only ran pihole.

So overall, my new home-server is close in power draw to the two devices it replaced, but with an immense increase in performance.

Would you be interested in contributing a short guide on the setup?

I am not confident enough in my knowledge of TrueNAS apps myself to judge if my setup process is how you’re supposed to do custom apps, tbh, so i’d rather not try to contribute a guide that could potentially have other users run into trouble 😅

I bookmarked this post a few days ago, but only just had the time to set it up today. Installing it as a custom app on TrueNAS was very easy, if only I had known it would just be a 3 minute job :D

I am running TrueNAS as well, and I keep snapshots for about a week. When I set up snapshots, I noticed the same issue as you: On a Linux client there seems to be no convenient way to browse these snapshots using the file manager (like “previous versions” on windows), and the only way I was able to browse snapshots was using ssh into the TrueNAS system.

While inconvenient, I figured that’s good enough for me, I don’t really tend to accidentally delete files off my system and on the rare occasion that I do, I can just use the command line. So far, I didn’t have the need to access an earlier snapshot.

But having a convenient way to browse the snapshots using a webUI is great, Thank you for creating this application, so far it works great as a custom application on TrueNAS, I was able to successfully browse and download files from previous snapshots :)

Some things that can be useful, although I don’t know how easily they can be implemented:

• When viewing a snapshot, highlight files (and possibly folders) that differ from the current state (deleted files in red, modified files in yellow, for example)
• Downloading entire folders, that would probably require timeship to zip them up beforehand, though.

Yay, butt stuff.

SteamOS is a linux distro based on Arch Linux, similar to any other. It’s a amalgamation of different pieces of software, including a traditional desktop environment (plasma). But it does not boot into the desktop mode by default, instead it boots into their own graphical environment (gamemode) by default, running their steam client.

That’s because their main focus is gaming machines, and that’s why they want gamers to be greeted with a consolized, 10-foot UI.

I think you’re confused because you think of steamOS being the UI (i.e. “Desktop Environment”) that welcomes you when you boot into it, instead steamOS is the entire package, including a “traditional” desktop environment (which is KDE Plasma), as well as their own (gamemode), etc.

Which aspect of that confuses you? That it uses a Desktop Environment to do desktop things, or that they are using KDE Plasma instead of something else (say, gnome)?

The issue about that extension is how it handles consent.

In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do

You should be aware that it will often just accept all cookies, because that is easier.

Microsoft […] gets massive backlash

Pretty much since the release of Windows 10, Microsoft has been getting backlash because of the invasive, hostile and insane decisions they make and force on their users. It’s gotten particularly vocal since W11 and the EOL of Windows 10.

Yet, everybody seems to eat the plate of shit MS serves them. They complain, but most people dont seem to want to put in effort to rid themselves of Microsoft.

I could cry.

Because it wants to meet friends.
