If you want a smaller stepping stone, check out LMDE!

This scenario is one possible projection; it assumes the eventual development of a subduction zone in the West Atlantic that would overcome the spreading at the mid Atlantic ridge, eventually sealing the basin. I don't understand the mechanisms well enough to know how that prediction was made, so someone with more experience on the subject can chime in.

Here's to hoping they learned their lesson from SotS, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone else remember when they proclaimed that thin clients and other VM-based solutions were the future of PCs? This is them trying to make that vision happen as an added bonus.

Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?
Reply in thread
Given Debian's longer release cycles, I imagine it's not nearly as much of a drain as keeping up with Ubuntu. Plus, LMDE keeps them in position to ditch Ubuntu if they become too problematic or burdensome to work with.

Motorola effectively bricked its entire line of WiFi routers without explanation
Reply in thread
From a quick look at the documentation, if the hardware has WiFi capability you can configure OPNsense to be an access point as well. Personally, I keep the two separate: I have a small N200-based box as my OPNsense router and a separate access point running OpenWRT for the wifi devices on my network.

Pretty sure $160 is a bit much for this
On the one hand that's a rad TV, but on the other that tube looks badly worn out. If you could get a compatible tube that's in good shape, then $160 isn't bad at all for something so different from your usual black plastic boxes.

Recommend some games for PCem
Perhaps Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2; I played those a ton back in the day. Also, I haven't thought of Castle of the Winds in years, that brought back a pleasant wave of nostalgia!

That stood out to me, too; I wonder if that model assumes the shrinkage of the Pacific reverses when the Atlantic starts to close. strange. I also didn't see them try to account for the rifting in Africa, perhaps they assume that will fail to complete like the North American one did

What was the last dvd/cd your burned? do you still use such media?
I maintain a collection of PCs stretching back to the late 90's, so I still regularly burn CDs and DVDs of install media for the ones that can't boot from USB. I should try to get PXE working on my network, but using physical media is fast and convenient for me. I also occasionally burn extra backups to BD-R media.

If you're okay with something other than vanilla Debian, give Linux Mint Debian Edition a look. I used it for years without significant hiccups playing a wide variety of games. I switched to Bazzite after testing it out and liking the immutable aspects of it (though as another commenter mentioned, there is some pain involved in the learning curve), but I still keep LMDE around on my old gaming rig and on a couple other computers of mine.
