Oh interesting, I’ll need to look into that more.

I’d expect that it’s much better than a 1050. And still probably best in slot at that price point. (For new hardware)

Perhaps a used 1080ti would be better but I doubt a system with a 1050 has the power supply for that.

still using 2016 budget GPU (1050Ti).

Check out the Intel b580, your 2019 hardware should support rebar. (An bios update might be required). It’s a phenomenal upgrade for around $250US

But I feel you on the bandwidth issue. I’ve had to give up on some games that frequently update.

In the early days before rednet I built a functional computer network by building a shared bus with a LUA script that waited for addressed triggers.

Very laggy but I had fun.

I like to immerse myself in fictional stories, imagine being my favourite characters.

I try to fill most of my free time with social activities. Big fan of in-person boardgames.

I’ve had good luck with the Microsoft cameras and ones that say they are “Skype certified” on the box.

Check out cockpit. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit

As soon as I make a serious mistake like food poisoning or breaking a bone. I’m screwed without someone. Or if I’m just unfortunate enough to acquire an infection.

And this all assumes that I find what I need to survive in the first place.

I’ll vote for eight.

That’s an impressive amount of financial independence in my eyes, given what could be occurring.

I’ve had corporate clients with halogen fire suppression systems.

I’ve seen home offices use lto tape and a thermal resistant safe.

I’ve heard of people linking networks with the neighbour and using a remote drive at their house.

Grilled Magikarp looks delicious.

I’d suggest contacting the publisher and see if they can work out a special deal for you.

You probably will need to be a bit persistent as the first person who you reach will probably be following a script to reject you.

Let me solo her

Depends on the friend but any of their waifus haha

I like to ask them if I was in cosplay.

Setup an organization with the sole purpose of fighting censorship. Plus I’d want to setup artistic grants and music festivals.

Set it up with netBSD.

Connect some large drives to it and use it as a file server.

Host something on it such as matrix or if you have enough ram a game server.

Use it as a retro game console, a quick look at the specs online suggests it should be able to run PS1 games and older fine.

If you’re into home automation, you could use it as a command and control center.

Could be used as a jellyfin server but you’d potentially need to transcode everything in advance.

The only rule was I had to get them myself (unless it was a special occasion) and not to disturb the house while gaming.

Most of my PC games were from the win95 and MS-DOS era. But I do remember getting half-life 1 and eventually 2, and all the crazy mods that came out for those.

I remember playing the leisure suit larry games and not understanding any of the jokes haha.
