Yeah, that is my standard way of doing things. Old desktop becomes the server, and it's specs blow everything I want it to do out of the water, so things like file storage (and the CPU required to encrypt-on-disk), etc have no chance of ever presenting an issue. Though, I do have a pair of Pis with POE hats on them (as well as a POE switch), because I really like POE.

Then I set it up for auto-updates and proceed to ignore it. Love very simple home networking setups that still accomplish every goal.

The dedicated NAS appliances really annoy me. Every time I have had to use one I just think 'I can just do this in Linux on any random desktop lying around, why am I learning another proprietary thing?'

Do they know what caliber it is? They don't seem to share it in the article...

a high-powered, bolt-action rifle

This is most likely a standard deer rifle.

Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is in the past.

On top of that, it isn't 'just $10 more'. It's $70 more as it has to compete with games I already bought. What does Battlefield Next offer that Battlefield Previous doesn't? Yeah, nope, Titan mode on 2142 is still fun. Flying choppers in 1942's Desert Combat mod is still fun.

And when I do want a new game, look, Silksong is right there for $20. Beats the price proposition on some rehashed game for $70 out of the damn water.

Yeah, people love to complain about authoritarianism. Then those same people cheer murder of political rivals...

It's not a road we should go down, and certainly not one we should cheer on.

They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.

I remember when it first came out, you couldn't even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps...that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux's repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.

That's the whole thing about passive voice, it isn't incorrect. People rightfully criticize passive voice when reporting on police murdering people. Same thing here.

A phobia is a fear, by definition.

While the U.S. and NATO allies are working to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot batteries, there aren't enough for everyone who ordered them.
