I can also HIGHLY recommend a healthy/heavy splash of red wine vinegar at the end. It really brings up the flavors in an otherwise very starch and fats heavy soup.

Bazzite would be my suggestion. Throw the full install on the ssd then format the HDD for general storage. I'd be a little concerned about the 1060 3GB GPU though. Drivers will likely be fine, but the "10 series" have notoriously awful async compute and take a much larger penalty when running games/apps under proton/vulkan if I recall correctly.

I hope we finally get OAuth2/OIDC logins. Jellyfin needs them too. It would greatly simplify managing my users if I could just run them all through Authentik/Authelia rather than dealing with separate logins, recoveries and permissions for every single thing I want to host. I know jellyfin has an addon available, but it breaks app compatibility to use, and my shit MUST maintain the fabled "wife approval" rating.

Now we just need their software and firmware updates to run in Linux native (or even wine, I'm not that picky). Excellent controllers for the cost.

Booming blade can get nasty too, but requires a lot more work for spacing/movement.

Literally finally let my windows partition upgrade to windows 11 last night. It took like 3 HOURS to do. Then I shrunk the partition way down and clean installed my Bazzite dual boot over the extra space and that took MAYBE 15 minutes. I use Windows MAYBE once every 6 months or so. Linux has just been the better experience for 99% of my computing and even gaming needs.

And furthermore, you can share your internet from your computer, if running Linux, to other devices via Ethernet or WiFi! There may even be a super hacky way to do it through Bluetooth as well, but I'm gonna assume that wouldn't be worthwhile to pursue...

My cats are just creatures of habit. I get up at the same time every morning and top off their food bowls and water fountain, make my coffee and drink it on the couch while 2 of the 3 fight over who gets to sit on my lap. Any time this routine is broken all hell breaks loose and they collectively lose their shit. They whine and wail around the food bowls, regardless of how full, because god forbid I sleep an extra hour on a day off!

I'm probably mistaken, but I think there might actually be a plugin for this? I haven't looked into it myself but I swear I scrolled past a plugin listing similar functionality at some point. Or I could be hallucinating. Or it could even exist but no longer work on the current version of the app. Who knows!?

Oh hey - I'm playing through Remnant 2 right now! Just finished 100% achievements in the first Remnant a couple weeks back (I do not recommend going for that, by the way, it's a grind tha t sucked a lot of the fun out by the end). Remnant is by far my favorite "AA" game series. It really feels like human beings with creativity made it and didn't hate themselves doing it. There's polish in places you don't expect it, and there's lumps and bumps and grime all over at the same time that makes it flawed, but in a charming way. My only real gripe is there are a handful of "insta-kill" boss fights/puzzles in 2 that are not optional and legitimately hamper the experience. I don't feel good after finally completing them... Too much rng combined with figuring out the puzzle/pattern to where even if you perfect the motions there's still a small chance you fail anyways because the digital dice deemed it so. But that one (large) complaint aside I'm having a blast even though I'm playing it solo. The story is nothing to write home about, it's a UE5 game so YMMV on how it runs, but I've sorely missed games that aren't live service or mega-blockbuster in design and scope. If you like the Soulslike formula, and/or enjoy a bit of a gear grind and buildcraft, you'd probably enjoy Remnant and Remnant 2. Definitely worth it on a steep sale if nothing else. Plus, it has up to 3 person co-op!

Oh goody, and I just bought a used Ioniq 6 last month! It's been in the shop for a couple weeks now for a failed coolant valve... Here's hoping the iccu issue is formally addressed before it seemingly inevitably fails on me! At least my dealership has been prompt about providing a rental and updates on status for this particular issue.

AND the workload goes up! The Financial Services industry sure is fun!

A 240V 20amp circuit I think would meet the needs of 99% of commuters in the US. If your average miles/kWh is around 3.3 and you're charging at 80% of the 20amp breaker limit (as you should be), even factoring in 10% losses in power transmission, you're still charging somewhere around 11 miles per hour. Easy 100+ miles overnight with zero infrastructure change outside of a couple wire nuts and a cheap charger. Hell, depending on local codes, you might get away with slapping in a nema 6-20 receptacle to make it even easier...

The bazzite project website has an explicit "how-to" for extra drives. Worked for me with no issues, though I am definitely more experienced with tinkering with that kind of thing.

Do you own where you live? I ran a long HDMI and an ethernet through my attic from my office to my living room. The HDMI does display for my gaming rig in my office, and I have each end of the Ethernet plugged into an "AV Access" brand usb-ethernet-extender. Works perfectly to make my PC a console-like experience in the living room. Only downside is needing to go into the office to turn it on.

Weapon attachments, a more on-the-fly equipment and gear game... Some small QoL items... Honestly aside from getting to ride the hype of a new release there isn't much to this iteration that "elevates" it beyond KF2. That's largely why I said it still needs time to cook. If you took everything that KF2 did right and polish the shit out of it, crank it to 11 so to speak, then I could see a full separate release as justifiable. This one is definitely feeling more like a rebase so that they can go even HARDER after micro transactions and battle pass monetization.

Fair enough! Anyone with existing 240v receptacles of any kind is a lucky duck, regardless.

I just started playing Valheim again with some friends, and this is incredibly accurate. Right down to the crow with glowing eyes.

Oh, well that all still works fine then as long as you aren't tripping over the cabling. The USB over ethernet adapter is like $50-60 in the US. A one-way long fiber optic HDMI will probably be similar in cost, and ethernet is super cheap. Way lower latency than trying to use moonlight/nvidia streaming or steamlink over wifi.

I just played the most recent round of stress testing after the initial invite-only beta a few months back. The game is in WAY better shape post-delay than it was initially, but I can't help but feel it still needs some significant additional time to bake. The devs definitely seem to be taking player feedback to heart, so I do have faith it could get to a good spot, but I'm personally going to wait for a steep sale to purchase, at which point it would ideally be patched into an even better place.
