Amazing! That’s exactly it!

I would be confident just based on the summary, but I remember that minigame where you pilot the boat in the harbor.

Surely that will never become anachronistic.

Was this before actual hard disk drives became popular?

I remember as a child one of my friends has a very old computer, even for the nineties. All of the programs had to be loaded on with 3.5" floppy disks each time we wanted to run them. There was a cargo ship management game that we messed with that I was too young to understand. I was really interested in “ballast” as cargo because it was zero cost; no wonder I didn’t make any money.

If I stand on one side of a magic portal and there is a Nazi on the other side of the portal, that Nazi is in punching distance. Technology allows transmission of voices at the speed of light. Don’t be pedantic.

I’m still using Windows 11 just from inertia, but I’ve been putting my kids on Linux Mint and Bazzite depending.

I don’t think I can get away from Windows, as a professional .NET developer, but I won’t likely have more than the one Windows laptop at this point. My entire home lab and home infra is Linux of one variety or another. If we count VMs, then I overwhelmingly using Debian.

That can’t even be the plumbing access because the fixture is on the other side of the tub. Is it some weird storage-maxxing cabinet?

There are more granular properties that make up the composite background sugar. You can use background-color, for example. Can you make it work piecemeal?

I have Aphantasia and ADHD, and I can confirm that the sleep/wake boundary allows for some startling visualizations.

Apparently it is a different visualizing scheme that dreaming uses, so practicing visualizing in that half-asleep state doesn’t strengthen the bit that is used while awake.

Bring back?

Y’know, I think you’re right. That gray bit looks like the tank barrel. I mistook that as part of the projectile path, and I misinterpreted the overall design as a missile battery.

That might have something to do with this being a chart for powered missiles.

I’m no expert, but my take on the situation is that POSIX is a very old, very stable, relatively powerful API. If figure out a workflow that uses only POSIX tools, then you have very high confidence that you can reuse that workflow across any POSIX-compliant environment.

I’ve been satisfied with Reolink for a couple of years, and I’ll be installing another next week.

I use a hardware NVR with it’s own HDDs and it’s own separate PoE network connecting all of the cameras, but since you are using your ZFS storage you will substitute the NVR unit with something like Blue Iris. There are several options for NVR software.

It is a chest-high L-shaped metal tool with wheels at the corner so you can rest a heavy object on the bottom part and then lean the tool backwards to lift the load and wheel it around.

I’d recommend dnsmasq for a DNS/DHCP server component. It is time tested, used on some consumer routers as a daily-driver industry component. It has a far easier learning curve compared to the like of ISC’s offering, and the feature gaps are not going to affect you until you have a firm grasp on many deeper DNS or DHCP nuances.

I’m a Nova refugee, and I’ve been satisfied with Lawnchair as a replacement. It isn’t as feature rich, but it hits the key notes.

The paint itself on the outside of the bottle cap. The ultra thin layer of (apparently polymer a.k.a. plastic) paint that make the cap not just metal colored.

I’ve had similar thoughts some several months ago, but I haven’t even figured out how to get a stable desktop environment in a VM (my experience with Linux is mostly in server-land). My overall approach for idempotency is a git repository that has a Terraform blueprint and an Ansible blueprint, and the whole kit is pointed at my home ProxMox cluster.

With this workflow I can lift and shift my entire localnet wherever I want in the future.

You could use a much simpler blueprint approach to accomplish your Desktop Environment VM. You’ll want to externalize any data that won’t get included in a blueprint rebuild (databases, games save files, media libraries, etc.).

Does it burn in any intersting way?

I’ve heard the notion that a backup you don’t regularly restore is mostly just theater. If you need to feel comfortable that you can restore your backups, then do that. You will need another machine to use, and then just go through the motions.
