Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?
Marathon. Not the extraction shooter that Bungie recently announced, but a remake of the original with a modern graphics engine.

There's also eject -T which is a toggle.

Which fps has an active(er) playerbase now ?
The Finals?
It's f2p, and I usually shy away from f2p games myself, but it's done a great job of keeping it strictly about cosmetics if you are concerned about pay-to-win. Its team-based objectives an environment destruction are really fresh, in my opinion, and I'm enjoying a competitive FPS for the first time since Apex dropped. FWIW, I was also a huge fan of Titanfall 2 when online was active.
It's not for you if you if you want low TTK and 40 different guns to choose from while you run around deathmatching (ie you want COD style gameplay), though.
I just play casual "quick play" and matchmaking is almost always under 30 seconds.

Wow! It actually makes sense!

I may be in the minority but I tend to say "Fourth of July" to refer to the holiday but "July fourth" to refer to the date when not referencing the holiday.

What are your favorite tools for monitoring Linux and individual docker containers?

CPU/RAM/Disk/Network etc. get written to Influxdb via Telegraf, and visualized with Grafana.
This is my exact setup and I love it (especially in comparison to the prometheus stack which I have to use at work). telegraf is so easy to use and extend. I have my own custom metrics for things like speed of my home internet connection (runs speedtests every hour), listener counts on my custom/private internet radio stream, or even fetching the daily food trucks rotation at a nearby lunch site (influx can handle text data!)
I don't do anything for logging but I also like UptimeKuma to keep and eye on things I run. Grafana has alerting but I find it pretty horrible.

PlayStation Portal: Hands On With Sony's New Remote Play Handheld

In the video it's stated it can be on any wifi network. Since he was sitting at PlayStation HQ, getting official info directly from Sony, I'm gonna go with what he said.

Same here, never spent money on f2p games before, but after playing the beta, this game really clicked with me and I wanted to show Embark my support.

I've been playing nothing but The Finals since it dropped. Dunno if I should be embarrassed to admit this but I've already completed the battle pass. I solo queue (anyone wanna party up???) and just play casual quick play and it's still an absolute blast. Ranked sounds too sweaty for me.

how do get rid of or set to black, comment backgrounds?
When you open the background color selection, scroll the ribbon of color circles, there's a black one at the very bottom.

Patch Notes 1.5

Aim control felt really off, I was doing terribly for a few games. I ended up dialing down my sensitivity options quite a bit to get to back where it felt "normal". I later read about some new multiplier (ADS zoom sensitivity?) so I started fiddling with that.
Overall, I'm not thrilled with having tuned all these numbers so much, I wonder if I'll get messed up again when they fix whatever issue it was.
PS5 player, btw.

Recomendations for anime similar to "Azumanga Daioh" ?
Wasteful Days of High School Girls would be my suggestion for most similar. Asobi Asobase has wilder energy but the hilarity is on another level.

What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?
I'm surprised at the lack of love for 13 Sentinels - Aegis Rim here. It's a little more on the electronic side but fans of the NieR soundtracks in particular would vibe hard with 13S-AR. A couple of standouts - Lysine and Brat Overflow

The Shop Assistants - Safety Net (1985 Peel Session)
Oh man this is a band I rarely see mentioned, which is such a shame. Home Again is my personal favorite but I wore the hell out of that tape back in 86-87.
