Old PC as Server
I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I’d love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn’t going anywhere) that’s been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I’m willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:...

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?
For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Will Corpos try to force all computing on the to cloud and make privately owned local storage illegal?
Seems like the next logical step. Most big games are always-online Games as a Service where your local storage is useless if the company server doesn’t handshake.

I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also...

eGPU doesn't turn on. PSU keeps clicking
I recently bought the Sonnet Breakaway Box 750ex for my laptop. Some of the time when I plug it in, the eGPU actually turns on and works properly but most of the time, the PSU and board make faint clicking sounds (In the video below, I plugged in a louder 300W PSU to record the clicking. Both PSUs work ftr). I know that PSU...

Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux
The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...
