Man, what a blast from the past.

Hated that.

I was never able to get it to work when I used to run windows, so I rolled with the default configs the whole time.

I bought this Protectli Vault FW2B , and installed OPNSense strictly for firewall since I don’t control the router in my town home.

I used this guide to set up a transparent bridge so I can filter out traffic before it gets to the subnet my property manager assigned to me.

Setting it up was a great learning experience. One thing that was odd for me though, was that I had to change the label of the interfaces in the ui to match the label on the hardware.

It made a huge difference in windows thats for sure. From the windows splash screen to applications becoming responsive took for fucking ever on a HDD. I’d imagine on linux it’d be much faster on a HDD, but I switched after ssds became the norm.

My PS5 is really just a Demons Souls Remake machine.

Using Neovim with qmv had been amazing for when I needed to standardize seasion and episode numbers/titles for my jellyfin library.

Gaming in Arch Linux through Steam has been incredibly smooth for me.

Me when I badge into my office, and the reader doesn’t let me in on the first swipe.

EndeavourOS was my 3rd repo and has been my go-to ever sense.

This is the first time I’ve seen Kagi, I’ll check them out. I’ve been pretty happy with SearxNG.

Its given me issues installing the Fallout 2 Restoration patch.

Nothing was functionally wrong with the game.

People have said it hasnt done anything much to separate itself from all the other free to play hero shooters to jusitfy its $40 price tag.

People also aren’t vibing with the character designs.

It’s part of the epilog.

I grabbed this one after the hoy fong fuck up. It makes a really good spicy mayo. Tastes good on teriyaki dishes.

Bonus points in that android phones won’t have their bootloader encrypted by a cellular service provider.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for this. With the announcement of official modding tools for Baldurs Gate 3, I’ll be happy jumping back in since switching to Linux on my gaming pc.

That’s pretty cool.

MFA kinda defeats the purpose of Mullvad. The less they know about you the better.

I haven’t played the remake, but I’ve seen scene snippets on youtube.

The conversations always seemed awkward, and the audio mixing was awful.

Thanks for the share!

I’ve always liked tui file managers, broot is a pretty cool one as well.
