After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock. So if it's stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it's just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

Farewell RealDebrid

Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.

Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.

I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.

Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it?

Really enjoyed it, only recently finished a run with expansion and some QOL mods. Excellent visuals (with RTX), and if your into the theme the story was fun and pretty good. Not perfect by any stretch but solid. Gameplay mechanics is fairly engaging after the 2.0 patch.

It is definitely sad it took so long to get to here though, it was broken on launch beyond bugs - the builds you could do pre 1.5 were plain broken.

That said, we should celebrate anyone making single player games these days seriously, it feels like they are getting very thin on the ground.

Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major update

Ah yes, the game that made me get a Steam account, so looks like my steam account is days from it's 20th anniversary.

God damn did I hate Valve for making me get steam back then, I was on dialup and getting Steam to launch was a utter nightmare, and I HAD to have it to play HL2? F you gaben!

Fast forward 20 years and I'm eagerly awaiting the AU launch of the steam deck and reminiscing of how good steam has been for me... EDIT: ACCT created 19th Nov 2004, Steam Deck AU release 29th Nov 2024, so I'm ordering on my accounts 20 year anni
