Looking for a survival sandbox game where you progress through technological ages

What are some KVM-over-IP or equivalent solutions you guys would recommend for guaranteed remote access and remote power cycle?
Currently, I have SSH, VNC, and Cockpit setup on my home NAS, but I have run into situations where I lose remote access because I did something stupid to the network connection or some update broke the boot process, causing it to get stuck in the BIOS or bootloader....
When was a game's price worth it to you?

What to do with a beefy server?
Alright, this may be a bit of a loaded question. But I figured it may provide good insight to both myself and to others.

I’m thinking the...
If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?
I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?
What tricks do you use to make sure you eat your daily fruits and vegetables?

Change my Mind! - I like the linux,but some things keeps me staying on Windows.

Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse?
I asked this question sometime ago on The Orville’s subreddit, and surprisingly got mixed responses. I assume most here however, are going to prefer Star Trek, specifically TNG that its aping from. For the record I do prefer TNG as well, but rewatching The Orville, after you get past its kinda sucky first season, I really...

What's the deal with the Armenia / Azerbijan conflict? Is there a right side to take?
I’ve always vaguely assumed that Armenia was the shat-on underdog in this, what with turkish genocide and the overal politics of SOAD, but the sources I’ve found when trying to have an informed position on it all have been dry as hell, and I confess my eyes keep glazing over. And now I’m hearing Armenia is pro-Russia in...
