It's... Not great? Sure it's performant but that's there is going for it, the rest is really not that good for a tablet. They should have made this a gaming laptop and it would've been fine.

Closed source office with telemetry for Linux would be doing more for Linux adoption than anything valve has made in the last 5 years. It's why Microsoft won't do it.

Sorry I 'ever saw this, that sucks.

Turns out mine was broken too. I put the CPU in my gaming rig and it worked fine, so I bought a new motherboard and the problem is gone.

Homeless people aren't buying new trucks.

According to the EULA, no. According to common sense, leave the steam password in your will and you're fine.

The thought that God will punish bad people so we shouldn't punish them now is how we get where we are. Punish bad people during their life, and not to death.

It's already legal to download backups in certain jurisdictions, for example in France.

Also, it's very undocumented but you can actually generate an offline installer for a copy of a game you own on steam. It will still require steam and to be logged in in offline mode with an account that has a licence, of course, but it is a thing you can do.

I haven't done the math but since the opposite side is also where the oblateness starts, maybe it compensates?

The worst part is it's not that far fetched, we're actually pretty lucky that valve isn't massively predatory and we didn't end up with bobby kotick instead of gaben

Syslog is considerable overkill for home lab monitoring.

SNMP does what you want. You just need a good monitoring solution that's not as involved as Prometheus+grafana (I feel you, I've been there)

I really enjoy PRTG, but it's way too expensive for a home lab, still throwing it out there if you feel like you have money to burn.

I hear good word about libreNMS, it's next on my list when my PRTG licence runs out.

Be warned that monitoring is ultimately a fickle thing; what you don't write in yaml config for grafana, you get to dig through obscure SNMP libs to find out (though I find that's easier for me, ymmv) for other tools.

I recommend against: nagios (I like it but if you hate Prometheus it's definitely not for you), checkmk (throw checkmk into the sun please it just fucking sucks), cacti (NO!), solar winds (why?)

if you feel like you want to become a datacenter admin: zabbix scales very very well, both in performance and ease of admin against hundreds of servers, but it's overkill for a home lab, and it can get you lost in configs for hours.
