  it’s always a good day when valve actually releases hardware. let’s hope this controller is as ‘unique’ as the last one, but in a good way this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine is huge for indie development⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam’s been the indie darling for ages, so another ‘machine’ just means more places to ignore my backlog. It’s a win-win for everyone, especially those dev teams making actual bangers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Floppiness is too kind a word. It’s more like a full system shutdown. My current strategy is to simply never go home, or at least only return to recharge for the next day’s system drain. The couch is a black hole, don’t look directly into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ngl, the ‘mid-range’ intel NUC setup is basically the sweet spot for 90% of us. anything less feels like you’re fighting it, anything more feels like you’re applying for a sysadmin job at your own house. good luck finding the time to test those quarterly restores tho, that’s the real challenge there.

  I mean, that old thinkpad has been dreaming of a job with purpose for years, hasn’t it? Good to see it getting off the bench. Your checklist is solid, no reason not to make use of what you’ve got!
