What VPN are you using?
  • Windscribe...had it for a few years now and seems fine. I'll probably look into proton or mulvad when my subscription runs out, but I'd re-up if I find another subscription deal.

  • Help me blow my march madness winnings

    I've got $90 to blow. I'm basically rich now. What should I upgrade? Uses are software development, vms, jellyfin, nas, local llms and occasional gaming. I haven't had issues with the psu but I'm thinking a name brand gold rated psu could be good. Otherwise 32gb more of ram?

    Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)
  • Pros: You get hands on with all sorts of tech and get to do everything. You'll have more flexibility in how you solve things.

    Cons: You get hands on with all sorts of tech and get to do everything. You'll have more flexibility in how you solve things.

    It's fun being at a small software company but it can be exhausting.

  • Re-watched Episode III

    I'm a original OT purist, but I still like the prequels here and there. It's been a minute since I've watched ROS, but man does this movie slap. The pacing is full tilt, and every scene feels so important and heavy. Ok, the love scenes still suck, but hey. The over use of cgi still bugs me a bit about the prequels, but it doesn't ruin the movie. I'm not sure what it was this time around, but man it was super captivating. I'm thinking what really had me smiling is that you could tell Lucas was behind it, and he put his creative love and touch on it. The Disney films just don't have that.....Anywho, give it a watch if it's been a while.

    Should I buy Dwarf Fortress?

    I'm finally getting a little bored of my main game, Deep Rock Galactic. I've never touched DF, but it looks intriguing. I'm pretty average at sims. Will I be able to pick up and put down this game as needed? Also, how mouse heavy is it? I like to be able to do keyboard shortcuts whenever possible.

    Dual Boot?

    I run to Ubuntu or Linux Mint on everything except my gaming PC. Every year or two I try out Linux for gaming and usually go back to windows. With steam deck out it seems like Linux gaming is the best it's ever been. With that said I'm still a bit frustrated with freezing (halo mcc) and Bluetooth being super flakey on my 8bitdo controller. I guess I'm rambling, but curious if dual booting is the way to go? Have most of you axed windows all together?

    They're big and small. They've been lost while surfing in Hawaii and dancing at Studio 54. They've been found in taxis and hotel nightstands. Each ring, and its wearer, has a unique story to tell.
