I just saw this game posted recently, and I figured this place would enjoy talking about Legacy of Kain. Such drama and lore. It set a voice acting bar that still holds it own compared with modern games.

All of the games were amazing. I started with Soul Reaver and then played the Legacy of Kain series. Everything was so gothic, and felt rich.

I don’t know if I would be able to revisit it in terms of the gameplay holding up, or if I should just watch a YouTube play of someone else.

Hey community, I’ve got a friend about to graduate high school. He has had a bit of an uneven path in life, and I would like to help inspire him to focus on something in tech/programming/etc.

He is a smart kid, but doesn’t have a lot of good examples in his life. I think he believes his options are to just get a job at a restaurant or store.

I helped him build his first pc a few months ago. I tried to convince him to install Linux, but he was concerned it might be too complex for a computer he wanted to game on or do music editing. I didn’t push too hard. I know he has been doing a lot of modded games and stuff lately. And he seemed open to testing out Linux on old laptop.

He is smart and I would like to encourage him to either look into pc building or programming. But neither is my field, so I want to know what are good on ramps into programming and open source. What are Blogs, youtubes, or even should I recommend an associate degree at the local community colleges? (I would recommend full college degrees but I think he has some family situation which might make that hard).

All my knowledge feels like osmosis in the last year of being on Lemmy and now I have a Linux server with 20+ self hosted docker apps… but I realize I’m just hacking things together, not developing anything. I just want to show him there is another path he could pursue other than retail.

I need help understanding what the community’s recommendation is for how to save my files across two pcs without having to manually cut and paste or setting up a NAS.

My situation is that I have a Linux server running Opensuse pulling down media through an Arr stack setup. It only has .5 TB available but I have a Windows PC with 3 TB available. I would like to know if there’s a way that I can seamlessly direct my Linux server to save onto my windows PC without me having to manually copy and paste.

Let’s say I initiate a download of a .75TB file on my Linux server, can I just have it save directly to my available 3TB windows PC? And then be also able to tell an app like Jellyfin to read it from there?

Long term I was thinking that I would set up a separate NAS but I don’t want to do that for a few months. I want to stabilize my current setup before adding another machine.

Am I crazy to think that I can save files to my windows computer from my Linux server? I have tried to look into different things. I started going down the route with samba, but it seems to only show files to my windows PC but not actually save them there directly from Linux. I’ve looked into FTP/SCP but I don’t know a good guide or if would do what I need. I am struggling understanding the networking portion of this, so let me know if I am wrong.

As a secondary question, if I had a NAS, could I also point some of that free 3TB from the windows pc to be used as part of the NAS?

Edit: I struggled a lot with this and ultimately got scared away from it for the connectivity reasons mentioned below. I ended up figuring out how to mount an external drive using fstab. This should meet my short term goals. Thanks all!
