I’ve been super happy with my 8th gen Intel NUC i5. I put it in an Akasa Turing fanless case, installed an NVMe for host OS, and an 8TB SSD for data. It’s low power and so quiet that I couldn’t imagine ever using fans again.
I also have a USB 3.2 drive dock for external backup HDDs, but I only turn it on when actively doing a monthly backup.
8TB holds more media than I’ll ever need, but I do trim movies and shows regularly. For some, 8TB won’t be anywhere near enough, and SSDs exceeding this are ridiculously expensive.
Ok, thanks for the help - I will look into what I can do with an access point and I should be able to get something going and it looks like significantly cheaper.
No problem, also look at [email protected]’ comment in reply to mine. They have some info I wasn’t aware of regarding tri-band WiFi routers. I’m living in WiFi 5 land, so I wasn’t aware of this cool trick:
His router is tri-band though meaning it has 2 5ghz transceivers. With an extender usually you use one of them as a backplane for ap->ap communication so it doesn’t interfere with your performance.
So an access point is still a good solution, but it sounds like you can use it as an “extender” without an ethernet cable as long as you can use one of your spare 5ghz bands to communicate with it. Which is super cool and I was totally unaware of.

Wifi 5 vs 6, 6E and 7 are worlds different. A LOT has changed in that time.
It was either 6 or 7 that was designed with mesh/extenders in mind, and it actually works really well if you have good hardware.
Also even in the wifi 5 days they made mesh/extenders explicitly with duplex issues in mind. Just about every high end wifi 5 system had at least dual band wifi, with most having 3.

Unfortunately, for many models - like the Linksys WRT 3200ACM - that second antenna (technically the third one if you include the 2.4Ghz one) doesn’t function at all without the manufacturer’s firmware. It’s a dead stick with any third-party firmware, and is 100% software-enabled.
I have found this fact to be reliable whether it is DD-WRT or OpenWRT, and across several different manufacturers including Asus and D-Link.
Backing up / in it’s entirety might cause issues since there will be a lot of special files and crossed mount points. You should probably exclude /proc and any system folders from the backup. See: github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/dev/FAQ.md#do…
Since you’re planning to start with a clean Nobara install, you can probably exclude those during the restore step. Just be careful not to restore files that are in active use by the running system.
Have you tested restoring from your backup? Can you do it from the liveUSB?
Yeah, Ringleader’s Evergaol was rough, took me over 30 tries. I was a bit under-leveled when I first found it and after getting my ass handed to me for 10 or so attempts I decided to mark it and return later, went back after leveling up a bit and died another 15 times or so. Came back a 3rd time after defeating Mohg on my 4th attempt and finally cleared the evergaol after about 8 more attempts.
Lol I thank you for the thought but I am a traveling nurses so currently is stationed here…not to be a capitalist but I guess I am but I go where the money pays me the best.
Wow, $28k. That’s wild! Is it arcade cabinets? Rare stuff?
From selling a fair few MTG cards for the last few decades, I’d say it really depends if you want it to be fast/easy or maximize profits.
Selling individual things (think eBay) will net a lot more, usually what price estimators use like Pricecharting. If you just wanna get out of it all, then a bulk purchase will net a lot less (think game store)
Of course it’s unrealistic to expect full 100% payout of the full worth but it’d be nice to get 80%. It’s a very tough decision that honestly 8 don’t even wanna sell but the thought of being debt free sounds nice as well.
I’m only familiar with my area. Look into the Pacific Northwest. There’s a lot of game collectors here who really love classic games. Call them up, ask lots of questions.
Another is to join retro game communities. There was a classic game conference and those folks are always looking.
