I wouldn’t get one unless it was dirt cheap. The CPU wasn’t that great when it was new, now an ARM SBC will outperform it using a fraction of the power.

I swapped the boot drive from a 1st gen i7 machine to a threadripper machine and it worked without any issues. I was using the default kernel on Linux Mint.
If you have any temperature monitoring or custom fan control stuff, you will need to reconfigure it though.
Anything I add to fstab gets mounted in /mnt
and removable drives get auto mounted to /media
. Linux doesn’t care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.
I put /var/lib/flatpak
in a separate btrfs subvolume. Timeshift only takes a snapshot of the root and home subvolumes.
I use it all the time without any VPN and haven’t had any issues. I watch almost all youtube videos in MPV, which uses yt-dlp to get the video. I download any video I may want to watch again later to my server.
I always use yt-dlp do download youtube videos. It doesn’t require installation, you just download and run it.
This is why you don’t buy any hardware that requires “the cloud” to function with no option to self host. At least they are giving refunds this time, but that’s usually not the case.
By the late 90’s most monitors were smart enough to detect when sync speed was too far off and not try to display an image.
It was the old monitors that only supported a single or fixed set of scan rates that you had to worry about damaging. Some could be very picky and others were more tolerant.
Is was those crappy winmodems that caused all the problems. They cheaped out on hardware, so you basically got a sound card. All of the work had to be done by the driver, which also put a lot of load on your CPU. Serial modems just worked since everything was done in hardware.
Sure, if you have enough data to make the cost of a tape drive worth it.
M-disc is for long term storage, which flash and hard drives are not suitable for.
That version has been patched.
It’s called punycode. It’s just a way of encoding non ASCII characters in a URL.
Lutris uses separate prefixes and doesn’t do any deduplication. You will need a separate tool for that or just use a filesystem like btrfs that supports deduplication.
I’ve never used bottles, so I don’t know how it handles deduplication.
Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.
No, you can copy wine prefixes around all you want. You may have to adjust the graphics settings in the games though.
Movies are not sold on recordable media, they are sold on pressed discs. There are a lot more manufacturers than just Sony too.
X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently
Which is why so much work has been going into Wayland, which will replace X11.
I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?
I would suggest getting a router that runs OpenWRT or OPNsense. That will let you configure anything you need to. It’s open source firmware so it will respect your privacy.
If you go with OPNsense, you will need separate access points since it runs on a PC. The Unifi access points work well for that.
