I'd say the link and an archive copy is good enough, though I definitely wouldn't mind proper referencing.

Options if it's to protect against local disasters such as fire:

1. Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
2. Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
3. Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own "cloud", definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.

Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they'd enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn't in the hands of Amazon. I'd go for option 1 if my internet was better.

Re: Kernel Version. The latest Linux Mint 22.1 still runs Kernel Version 6.8, if you want a newer one than that you must add it yourself without depending on Mints own updates.

Re: PPAs and repositories.
Might be that there is an option through GUI to add the kisak/kisak-mesa and get the latest Mesa drivers, but I've not found a single guide that mentions how to do it through GUI.

[SOLVED]Can't get a singe game to run on Mint or POP
Original Post here:

Hi guys, it’s me again.

My issues is that no windows game on Steam will run. With any launch option or proton version (tried about 10). Most just doesn’t open at all. (Click play, nothing happens)

Solution: Pop!_OS and Linux Mint doesn’t have a kernel new enough to support the Mesa 25 drivers needed for my 9070XT. These commands in the terminal was the fix for this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

My point was that if the distro had instead been say Nobara (Fedora-based gaming-focused distro made by GloriousEggroll for ease of use for his dad) then no fix would've been needed at all as it already run new enough linux kernel and come prepackaged with all the goodies a gamer need.

Distributions can be hit or miss depending on the user and hw for sure.
Mint 22.1 still runs Kernel 6.8 whoch means you'll be hitting the terminal to either upgrade to mainline kernel or add extra repositories for the latest drivers if you have f.e. an AMD Radeon 9070.

Agreed, I'd take OpenSUSE over an Ubuntu flavour any day if european is important. Generally I roll Debian servers and a Fedora desktop though.

X870 / B850

You can find a B850 with PCIe 5.0 too, so that might be an idea.

PSU

The mentioning of Seasonic was important here, they're known for long lasting and high quality psus which is seen in that they usually offer 10-12 years of warranty compared to gigabytes 1 year warranty.
The 1000W was to future proof, which becomes relevant if the psu is built to be long lasting.
It's a part many brings with them into the next build.

CPU

If he's not gonna use the larger L3 through gaming then the 7900 is more than good enough.
Most games benefits from the L3 and some does so treemendously, f.e. Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here's the difference when the game is cpu bottlenecked:

What's your thought on choosing X870 over B850?
Personally I would rather spend that money to upgrade the PSU to a 1000W Seasonic and check for something like Corsair Vengeance or Kingston Fury RAM that runs at 6000 instead of 4800.

edit: For a gaming PC I would recommend 7800X3D or 9800X3D over the Ryzen 7900.

Kind of interesting how quickly the smartphone usage exploded but also how it wasn't that long ago. Early Z most definitely grew up as PC users while late Z grew up with mobile being the primary website visiting tool.
I had to do some quick checking and this is what I found.

If we use Wikipedias timeline picture then Zoomers are born 1997-2012 (the text also references 1995, but I used the graphic):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z

In 2011 (Gen Z are now -1 to 14 years old) web traffic was predominantly according to smartinsights.com:

I think that here the main point to remember is that many users will continue to access the web via their desktop PCs. In 2011 most companies I talk to still have a tiny proportion of their web traffic via mobile searches - it's usually much less than 5% - so it's worth checking your analytics for mobile usage first and foremost.
https://www.smartinsights.com/mobile-marketing/mobile-marketing-analytics/mobile-usage-statistics-2010-2015/

In 2015 (Gen Z are now 3 to 18 years old) things has begun to switch with most western countries reporting between 15% to 30% of web traffic being mobile:

In 2020 (Gen Z are now 8 to 23 years old) 61% of US website visits are from mobile devices:

Mobile devices drove 61% of visits to U.S. websites in 2020, up from 57% in 2019. Desktops were responsible for 35.7% of all visits in 2020, and tablets drove the remaining 3.3% of visitors.

It's available in uBlock Origin when advanced user mode is enabled in settings. No idea if AdNauseam works the same.
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide

As a firefox user I'm not really affected by googles changes so I'm not worried about uBO at all.
I will probably stick with noscript as of now, as I'm so used to it and have already built a large whitelist of domains I trust globally.

Not certain what you mean with sharing my settings of scripts. If you mean my whitelist settings in noscript/ublock origin then I would recommend just starting with a blank slate and build up your own whitelist. We're probably not using the same sites after all.

Jag tar nog hellre smör och ost i frallan och en chokladboll till kaffet istället.

It is! I read through the docs and did some testing. It's very similar to noscript once you get used to the flags.
Do not Disable scripts globally using the settings checkbox, it overrides dynamic filtering and ignores your flags

Left flags are global (In the example I block first party and third party scripts globally) and right flags are local for the site you're currently on. (Here I allow bbc.com to run scripts, that's the grey flag)

You can locally allow all scripts from a domain like this (notice the grey flag on bbci.co.uk and the inherited dark grey on the subdomains below):

Or you can allow specific subdomains (here I allow emp.bbci.co.uk and ichef.bbci.co.uk specifically while leaving static.bbci.co.uk blocked)

As I'm allowing scripts with the right side local flags the third party sites will still be default blocked if they're used by another domain that isn't bbc.com.
