Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.
Everything is running and I’m not making many changes because work got hectic. I have a few projects I’d like to tackle once I get time:
Here are my reasons:
I certainly want more competition to Steam, but that competition needs to do something other than exist for me to use it. GOG is that, and if they properly supported Linux, they’d get most of my gaming money. But they don’t, so they only get some of it.
Yeah, this probably reads like a Linux fanboy post or something, but I’ve been using Linux longer than Steam supported it with its client, and I’ll still be here if Steam leaves. It’s my platform of choice, and a vendor needs to meet me here if they want my business. Valve did, so they get my money. I honestly don’t need much, I just need games to work properly on my system.
I take it the 192.168.1 subnet is the family lan?
My guess, from top to bottom:
My brother is an accountant and uses sheets for a lot of non-work stuff, and specialized software for most business needs. He also uses Excel, sure, but there are substitutes for Excel in a lot of cases.
The twin towers made a ton of sense:
Ackshually Linux is a kernel.
If you take “Linux” broadly, you could piece together a business management stack.

It’s pretty convenient for an IT team to use a standard image with all their configs and whatnot, and that requires a new key.
Except second hand. That’s my point.
I’m not Brazilian, but I’m guessing importing stuff is expensive. Look at PC components elsewhere in the world, it’s typically much more expensive than the US.
Second hand markets exist and Raspberry Pis are rarely sold second hand.
Raspberry PI
This also shouldn’t be your default option. Your default should be whatever you have laying around, and a lot of people have a Raspberry Pi sitting idle, hence why people use them.
What specs
That depends on what you want to do with it.
For example, if you want to host a video server, then you’ll want something that can handle transcoding. Check the Jellyfin docs for details, which recommends an N100 or better.
List all the things you need and want, and then look up what the requirements are. Basic file hosting is pretty light, so you really don’t need much (hence the Raspberry Pi rec).
I personally use an old PC with the following specs:
This is way overkill for what I need, but I had it laying around. You could even start with a laptop, you’ll just have limited storage (can get a USB emclosure of you want).
If you don’t have something, maybe a mini PC would work (minisforum, beelink, etc). Or maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know what you’re planning to run on it. You probably don’t need anything fancy, your biggest requirement might be the GPU/iGPU if you’re planning to do transcoding.
At least ours makes national news.
Yeah, for some reason they’re all sopping wet, and they need to get them dry as fast as possible to process them.

I’d like to see you try:
Exactly, society != government.
I get their logic of basing it off what they could be paid private side
Then you get it. They pay what they need to in order to get the talent they need for the course. Business school is often more expensive than other disciplines because of the high salaries needed to attract talent and businesses schools get a lot of sponsors, so the school is being compensated for the high salaries.
In short, it’s supply and demand. It’s a lot cheaper to find a PhD in genetics vs a PhD in business who is willing to work at a university.
Exactly. Nobody should care how the professor generates materials for the class, they should only care that the materials are effective and accurate. That’s the professor’s job, and they should be free to use whatever tools they find helpful in producing effective, accurate materials.
Mistakes happen. I found a bunch of errors in my classes, and this was before AI was a thing. The information was accurate, but the presentation was poor.
There are a ton of options, depending on what you have. In essence, a file server is really simple, you just need a computer with network access with sufficient storage. Here are options, from simplest to fanciest:
The costs can vary from free to thousands of dollars, depending on storage and compute needs and how far down the fancy scale you go (note: 3 is more expensive than 4, and comparable to 5).
