I which they would go for less famous actors sometimes. It’s going to be hard to immerse in the story when thinking about Ken from Barbie the whole time. It’s not that he plays bad, he is a very good actor, but this is how my brain works.

My router (shit one provided by the carrier) is restarting frequently, I think due to overheating

I haven’t read The Martian, I have read Project Hail Mary and I enjoyed it, it’s an easy read.

Ryan Gosling, really ?

Best: Indian friend invited me to his wedding in India, 5 days straight of eating delicious food, rituals and ceremonies. As a European, this was entirely exotic to me. Also it was my first time in India and I did a little bit a tourist on the side of the events. Main wedding day had over 2000 people invited, traditional food service for lunch, ice cream booth. The ceremony was in an amphitheatre with the a temple built on stage entirely covered in flowers, it smelled very nice.

Worst: my wedding 😅. Married during COVID in a foreign country, my family were not allowed to travel, country on lockdown. It was my wife and I, ceremony was 3 minutes top-chrono. Witnesses provided by the municipality. It was still a great time, we had the photoshoot after and spend the week exploring Copenhagen without tourists. We had a celebration with family and friends 2 years later, it was very humble but everyone was so happy to meet after all the isolation and it was a great time too.

Latest one I came across is from Signalis:

You have to be crazy to watch YouTube without an ad-blocker in this day and age! On mobile (Android at least), Firefox with ublock works well for YouTube.

Who comes first the King, or the Kingdom? 🤔

I have time to play 1 to 2 games per year. 😭

Oh, there are going to be some nice mods 😏. Can’t wait to be playing as Shrek !

Not sure this is what you are looking for, but syncthing is for self-hosting and it’s Peer-2-Peer. I use it to synchronize my important documents and photos across my devices, it has options for encryption and file versioning.

Syncthing is the 3 in my 3-2-1 backup strategy. It enables me to maintain 3 copies of my files: desktop, phone, NAS

openmediavault and casas are good noob-friendly OSes for NAS purpose. Much faster and simpler to get it running than some Proxmox and True NAS overkill solution.

You can also just install whatever Linux OS you like, and plug-in some screen, keyboard and mouse and do your setup this way, like any other computer!

For Hardware, I recommend to build a computer out of standard parts. For what you said, a small motherboard with an integrated Intel N100 CPU and a nice looking case like the Jonsbo N2 will sever you well. This is very close to my current setup, using an older j5040 CPU and it runs everything just fine with no effort (Jellyfin w/ light transcoding, *arr stack, Usenet and torrent clients, syncthing, SMB and NFS filesharing, and more)

I know MS Teams an Zoom both work on Linux, Google meet is web only and obviously works as well. Sometimes the web page of these suckers will give you some pain for using Linux just for the lols but using User-Agent switcher to pretend you’re a Chrome on Windows 11 will suffice to let it work.

I second this proposition of DIY build. My current build is an older version of this using an ASRock motherboard with integrated Intel j5040. It’s already very capable! I run Jellyfin with HW transcoding and a dozen other containers and there is still plenty of headroom.

The Jonsbo N2 case is pricey but good quality, nice looking and nice to build with ! Cheaper options are there but not as nice in terms of looks and usability.

And acetone will destroy your liver.

My name is Giovanni Riggitano, but everybody calls me… hum… John.

Have you tried running in a Wayland session if you have the same issue ? I am not so sure, but I think GPU acceleration is only really working with Firefox in Wayland. Also, check which version of the Nvidia driver you have, maybe there is something newer you can use from the backports repository.

I once made an animated presentation using Inkscape and an add-on I can’t remember the name of. It was epic and blown everyone’s mind. But it was not worth the effort and I have never attempted this again.
