I wouldn’t say it has anything to do with the financial affluence of the gamer, but I agree with you that the vast vast majority of gamers simply do not care. Like with a lot of things, that same majority would be better off if they did.
You’ve got this! 🔥
Honestly you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to cpus, anything you’re looking at should for the most part “just work” as long as it’s within the last 3-8 generations of cpus (I’d recommend the last 2, since they significantly improved power efficiency and you’re going for a laptop). What you’ll mainly want to consider is linux support for the system devices (wifi, etc, etc) which you can Google per model and robustness of the device (which is slightly subjective, but a 1.1lbs 5mm thick whatever is generally less robust than say a ThinkPad).
It’s abstraction all the way down?!
You’re not the asshole, you’re playing with the wrong group. Find people that want to play the same style of game as you, don’t play with people just because they’re who you’re familiar with. Recipe for a bad time.
Depends on the game. Apex, Riot, ubisoft, and EA all ban vm players. A list of other companies do as well.
Easy way to get yourself banned in online games just an FYI. Most online games will detect and ban virtual machines now since they’ve become commonplace in cheat/hack communities.
Reddit is dead to me, and given their stance on their apis, should be dead to pretty much all hobbiests deeply interested in self hosting.
I’d recommend against it. Apple’s software ecosystem isn’t as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you’ll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.
And yes, I’ve tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you’re hosting a service.
A full year of multi month hikes across the world. I want to see it all and meet new people.
Yeah. Microsoft has definitely cornered the market on corporate education for sysadmins.
Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there’s a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.
Nothing forever will feel oh so fast when you lose any frame of reference.
There’s more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It’s an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
I pasted some links, but the DoE says groundwater will most likely be contaminated. Depends on who you trust and how willing you are to suffer radioactive contamination. Granted, it’s probably a better risk profile than say… Coal… But that doesn’t change the fact we have no good longterm plan to store any amount of radioactive waste, and if history is your teacher, a plan will most likely not come to fruition.
Honestly, despite all of nuclears many benefits, there’s still no good action plan for the significant amounts of substantially dangerous waste it leaves around. Hard to figure out a storage plan for an invisible poison seeping from a rock for the next 50,000 years.
N…not quite…
