Have a look some of material on the reading list on Politician Compass for left libertarian it may help you.

When people talk about libertarians they are almost always talking about right wing (Ayn Rand) libertarians. They get attention because they are having direct impact on our current politics.

I suggest that you read "In defence of swap" that various people have linked to. It includes information about swap size.

Here are swap size recommendations for from Red Hat and Canonical. You may not run oof these distributions but the information will probably still apply.

https://access.redhat.com/...

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

Assuming you have 16GB of RAM 32GB is the maximum swap size you need if want to use hibernation. You can you less if don't plan to use hibernation.

Without new programming languages we would still be using FORTRAN, AGOL and LISP.

https://fortran-lang.org/...

https://lisp-lang.org/learn/first-steps

https://www.computer.org/...

One reason why new languages are developed is the creation of a "Domain-specific language" or DSL. See Wikipedia for more information.

Programming languages are tools you pick the one for the job, there are situations where Java's garbage collection could be a problem so it would not the right tool to use.

This is what the Microsoft system requirements page for Windows 11 says

Windows 11 Pro for personal use and Windows 11 Home require internet connectivity and a Microsoft account during initial device set-up.

https://www.microsoft.com/...

I guess you were building machines with a Windows Enterprise license. This would explain why you had the option to setup an offline account.

There is another piece in their library that may be more appropriate "AI Took My Job"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) I just searched for the "samba computer" and this was the first link.

See if you can find some introductory videos that are suitable for you on YouVideo or elsewhere that are suitable for you to work out if you are ready to set up your first home server.

If you just need some storage you could just get a "cheap" USB storage spinning rust external hard drive and move the data that you don't need day to day onto the drive. At a later date you get a Raspberry Pi or second hand small PC and use the PC as a server with the same drive attached.

YMMV, but here are some reasons

  • Some people prefer to use Linux.
  • Some software runs better on Linux than Windows or Mac (e.g. Docker runs natively on Linux but on Windows and Mac the Docker desktop creates a Linux VM to run Docker on).
  • You have a portable, local development environment without Virtual Machines.

I have a laptop that belongs to my employer and a personal Linux laptop. It is quicker to use the Linux machine than to work out if I can now install WSL 2 or find a Linux instance to do some Linux work.

The original interview is no longer available, but here are references.

Microsoft CEO and incontinent over-stater of facts Steve Ballmer said that "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches," during a commercial spot masquerading as a interview with the Chicago Sun-Times on June 1, 2001.

Ballmer was trying to articulate his concern, whether real or imagined, that limited recourse to the GNU GPL requires that all software be made open source.

"The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source," Ballmer explained to an excessively credulous, un-named Sun-Times reporter who, predictably, neglected to question this bold assertion.

OpenWRT support on GL.inet devices seems to be complex. The following is my understanding of the situation.

GL.inet have an OpenWRT fork on GitHub https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt This is what is installed on GL.inet devices.

The OpenWRT developers in due course try to work out how to port mainline OpenWRT onto OpenWRT onto GL.inet devices.

As @damium@programming.dev says you may be able to do this with find command. This command lists all PDF files under ~/tmp that were created more than 7 days ago and does a directory listing. You could use this as a basis to move create an archive of individual files.

find ~/tmp -ctime +7 -iname "*pdf" -exec ls -rlht {} \;

The find command also has a -delete flag.

I have in the past used this combination to implement file management. I don't have access to the script any more. I don't remember why we used a shell script rather than logrotate as per @oddityoverseer@lemmy.world

How much do you want to spend?

If you go for a Raspberry Pi have a look at Terrapi cases as well the obvious Argon ones.

Another option would be a Zimbaboard. It is more expensive but it has dual SATA connector (you need to buy a Y cable with the Zimbaboard) and there are 3D print designs to create a single unit, e.g. https://www.printables.com/....

I'm not sure about PoE and a NAS. Will a PoE HAT or similar provide enough power for the board and the drives?

From the Windows Community

Does Windows 11 allow Windows 95 compatible computer games? ... It really depends on the game, you might get some working, some might not. It is really case by case basis unfortunately.

https://answers.microsoft.com/...

It appears that people may have to use virtual machines to run some Windows 95 software https://www.groovypost.com/... The article doesn't mention using HyperV only 3rd party software.

I prefer Linux simply but it isn't my tribe.

Took a couple of minutes to find the information above

Go to https://rpilocator.com/ and filter by your "region" and check for yourself. Most models seems to be available. The Rapsberry Pi 5 is available for pre-order from a number of suppliers.
