It gives you enough time to shut down properly and avoid data loss, which is what a UPS is supposed to do.

If you configure your power settings right, it’ll run on battery then shutdown or s2d safely.

1. Old laptop as a server is viable and not unheard of. They’re generally low power consumption, and have a built-in KVM and UPS.

2. Depends on your VPN provider and use case. I’d recommend against Tor-only if you want normal people to ever see anything you blog. You’ll need static IP and/or dynamic DNS if you want it to be reachable with any kind of reliability. Doing it over VPN requires your provider to support port forwarding, which not all do.

3. Again, depends on your use case. It’s generally a good idea to disable unused services. Worst case it goes down while you’re on holidays or something and you can’t get it back up for a while. Can you live with that? It might also be a good idea to leave SSH on but access restricted to LAN only. That way you don’t have to get up from your main rig to tweak stuff on it, and can follow tutorials in a browser while SSH’ed in to the server.

The OG Legion Go supports eGPU, at least on paper. It’s one of the reasons I bought it. Mine runs bazzite fantastically, but haven’t personally tested the eGPU piece yet.

Pretty sure they are in some places. Depends on local council.

Nobody is protesting, but imagine if they did!

When I lived within walking distance of my work, I used to try to take a slightly different route every day. Not by a lot, just a different side street here or there. You might see some cool street art or a nice flower or get to meet a friendly dog or cat.

Or you could use a fork that strips out the AI shit.

On a regular basis, probably classic DooM / DooM 2.

Shaka, when the sausage fell.

What is going on with retailers, do they think every young person who shops is a millionaire??

Buses came into service in 2000 with this wording already on them.

Wording declared a breach in 2025.

Operational lifespan of said buses: 25 years.

Cool. Awesome. Way to do absolutely nothing. AdStandards being useless as ever.

None of the Android 16 changes so far have made my phone nicer to use. Most of them have been jarring and unpleasant. This is absolutely vile.

Seven bathrooms? How much do the bots think we shit?

Downhill Domination.

Even the new network and battery icons gross me out. They’re so unnecessarily big and balloony.

That ghoddamn unlocking blip. I know it isn’t a GrapheneOS design choice but holy fuck I hate it.

I feel like people might be misunderstanding the request. Are you after something like AlarmPi?

Thanks for doing the research but I’m not in the States. They’re out of stock at Anycubic here and significantly more expensive at resellers. Ender 3 V3 SE is AU$259 direct for me, whereas the Kobra is AU$368 (out of stock). Resellers have them for up to AU$500.
