I’m taking my first international flight this year. I’ve got my passport and bought the plane tickets. However, I noticed that my middle name on the ticket is missing the last 2 letters.

I use Arch Linux, and some apps require me to use Windows. I have tried to get Wine working, but it’s just too much of a hassle. If the only goal of my virtualization setup is to run something like Adobe apps (I’m not doing any gaming on it), will Virtualbox or virt-manager be the quick and easy choice for me? I have tried...

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that’s I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I’m thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see....
