- Comment on Thoughts and feelings on AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u hardware? 2 weeks ago:
It’s $400 before tax with no SSD or RAM, so I’d need to get SSD, RAM and HDDs. What’s your thoughts on the specs at that cost? As the other comments point out, its an AM4, so it might make more sense to build something instead!

That’s actually a good call. Does it make more sense for me to look for a AM5 system and future proof with DDR5?
- Comment on Thoughts and feelings on AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u hardware? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the heads up…
- I would go with no RAM and no SSD, install something I buy myself
- Noticed that and it was brought up in a video, is it critical for a home server to have hot swappable drives?
- I’m sure the Mac Mini is probably using over 15W right now, but I don’t know for certain. Any good ways to test outside of buying some hardware?
Most of the videos I’ve seen online are using Proxmox which is my goal. Just trying to decide if $400 before tax without any memory or storage is a good deal or if I should just build a box.

Good call and good to hear you’ve not heard anything bad about the brand. Going to use it as a NAS, few VMs (Debian with Docker and NixOS dev env) and a Plex LXC (might move to Docker), but I aim to move my PiHole to it and want to try more distros in test environments. Biggest reason for an upgrade is the potential to transcode more content, the Mini struggles (fine on Direct Play) and also the NIC is flakey so it’s using a USB adapter right now. I probably borked it replacing the HDD with a SSD, it was a nightmare to open. Not sure if I’m ready to pull the trigger, but if my hardware died, I’d maybe go this route!

- Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 2 weeks ago:
Wholeheartedly agree with everyone else on the email. I’ve worked IT in a range of different sized businesses. The hardest one to date was the super paranoid place that insisted on hosting email. It’s an absolute pain to maintain and can be an unnecessary security risk for a few bucks!
- Comment on PS5 FPS preferences 2 weeks ago:
I used to be a big Destiny 2 player, but my friends (UK) and I (US) could never line up timezones for raids etc. so I used to just solo patrols and got bored with the rarity grind. I did hear the last expansion was excellent but also fuck Bungie for greedy practices. I was excited for Marathon, but that’s dropped a little.
- Comment on PS5 FPS preferences 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this might be the direction I go, I have Titanfall 2 on Steam and played a little on the Deck and enjoyed the movement. Any suggestions as a N00B and any things to avoid?
- Comment on PS5 FPS preferences 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the suggestion, I saw DRG pop up a bunch during the Helldivers 2 drama. Is it only PVE? I’ll have a look at it.

- Comment on Lunar Remastered Collection - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games 1 month ago:
This was the “oh shit” hype moment for me, as well as Yotei obviously. When I moved to the US all I had was my red PSP while I slept on a couch at my mom and grandma’s place in middle of nowhere Tennessee. I knew nothing about this games past, but I needed an escape at the time, decided to spring for Lunar Silver Star Harmony. I fell in love with this game, the music and anime cut scenes. Very excited to play it again on my TV and also try the sequel. Although I need to get mentally prepared for all the Nall dialogue!
- Comment on How’s the progress of (insert retro game title) going? 4 months ago:
Thank you! This is super helpful to know, I’ve got “Wait!” on, it’s the knowing “who can do what when” that I’m not in the “flow” of yet, but I’m sure it’ll click soon.
I’ve avoided guides outside of getting stuck (didn’t see the Arris Dome ladder and had to look it up) and I’d like to keep it that way outside of unlocking some cool weapons/items later.
Any recommendations on when I should focus on grinding and what special mid/late game items I should look up guides for? I’m about to go to Site 32 and can’t decide if I should be grinding much or just pushing through with the story. Good call on the chests, but I doubt I’ll be able to stay on top of remembering that!

DAMN, hella amazing memories you are sharing! Also wanted to give Earthbound a go as well.
- Comment on How’s the progress of (insert retro game title) going? 4 months ago:
Don’t know yet, probably gonna see how this run goes. I’m hoping it sinks its teeth into me and I want to play multiple runs!
- Comment on How’s the progress of (insert retro game title) going? 4 months ago:
Dope! I didn’t even think of that! Thank you

First time playing Chrono Trigger, on Steam Deck (Steam version not emulated, I know! I know!). I’m enjoying it although I’m suffering from early RPG slowness and trying to push through. Hoping the Steam version holds out, seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking. Love the music and art style. I do feel like I lose doors or POIs easily and I need to get better/quicker with the battle UI.

I can hear and smell this photo… why do I suddenly want sweets and fizzy pop?
- Comment on Lemmy iOS app with code markup comments? 7 months ago:
This is probably the one for me, really digging the level of customization and it’s easy to navigate.
- Comment on Lemmy iOS app with code markup comments? 7 months ago:
Thanks everyone for the comments so far, I’m including 3 screenshots of how a post looks in all 3 locations (Memmy, Photon & Arctic)
I think Arctic is the winner for me, I like the layout and settings. Also Memmy removed the swipe from left to access subscribed communities and it’s been impossible to get out of the habit, Arctic seems to do it!

- Comment on Helldivers II Review Thread 8 months ago:
Really wish there was a good Lemmy community for Helldivers, I’ve been back on the “site that shall not be named” to find out updates and see what people are saying. It’s easily one of the best games I’ve played in a long time!
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 8 months ago:
All I want to do is play more Helldivers 2 on PS5. The good and bad news is that everyone else is feeling similar and I know the experience hasn’t been perfect, but I’ve got faith in the developers! I’ve had success with matchmaking and I find the game so much fun when you are in a squad!
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 10 months ago:
The year before GoW 2018, he released Drawn to Death… PS Plus release that had some cool style but otherwise crap game! He was relevant back in the late 90s and early 2000s… but now his opinion hardly matters and he’s a bit of a drama queen. I don’t really give a shit what he thinks.
