- Comment on Router suggestions for a complete noob 1 day ago:
Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.
If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.
That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

Prairie provinces are great if you don’t mind the cold. Totally underrated.

It’s funny, I’ve heard this so many times. And read through the docs. But I’m a mad lad who has auto updates (I know!) and have never had an issue with Immich.

That is a danger but definitely not the biggest danger. The biggest danger of people becoming romantically involved with AI is that people will be romantically involved with AI.

All great recommendations here. But I’ve heard good things about PdfDing. I haven’t used it myself but have followed development since the developer is quite active.

- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater teases new announcement with countdown 5 months ago:
Yeah thps 1+2 is a remaster of the first two games that came out a few years ago. It’s actually quite good and about 100x better than thpshd which came out a few years before that (also a remaster of the first few games).
I’m guessing the countdown is for a remaster of a later game or games in the series.

My 3080ti is mostly used for snes and n64 emulation.

I look on local classifieds. But a lot of people inflate the price.
I picked up an SNES junior for $50 at a garage sale a few years ago. Finds like that are rare but they do exist.

I only ever beat it with a friend in 2 player. He really carried me, it probably would have been much easier for him in 1P!

As a 36 year old who smoked almost daily from the age of 13 until 33, I can tell you that there are a lot of benefits to not smoking.
