I did a stint of YouTube gaming and coding tutorials at one point, I've sometimes considered getting back into it. I doubt I would because I'm a little too privacy conscious these days but it's a consideration.
Plus running Minecraft and other older games at 1k fps sounds hilarious. I think I'm realising I can find use cases for the upgrades
In terms of learning tech, I'm not looking to learn in the traditional "home lab" sense. I work in cyber, and the vms I'd be running are likely different from a regular home lab. I'd be learning how to make a windows domain and how to attack/defend/configure. Realising now I should have said that in the post.
I do like the idea of having a server rack but I don't have any storage space for that so it's a future idea at the moment. Hence upgrading the tower to effectively be a server but also gaming.
Might be a dumb question but how would these go for storage? Can you plug a lot of drives into them?
I'm a nerd with a thing for punishing myself so setting up a small fake corporate environment that I can hack or configure would be fun. There's a tool called velociraptor that you can use to hunt over multiple devices which I want to learn.
Also just learning how to configure a domain, group policy, etc. I'd do like an 8 computer network if I had a machine that could run it. Setting up something like network segmentation, then "hacking" in and configuring attacker infrastructure sounds fun if not, again, totally overkill for what I want to do. I'd be phishing myself at the end of the day but it'd be fun to try.
Idk dude, depends what you want to do. If you want to SSH, sure, use the terminal. RDP apps work for me. My gnome de has decent menus for pretty much everything, except sound. I'll admit that was weird. Turns out though, you can install a gui though so not an issue. Haven't found a thing I want to do that didn't have a gui yet. Been using it on every pc I own for about 3 years now.
Fuck yes. I switched to Linux after Windows got all control freaky over my task bar. On Linux I can have 30 task bars if I want, 100 task bars. I can setup a mouse-task bar that opens radially around my cursor. On mac I can put that shit left, right, bottom, which is something, and i can resize it which is the bare fucking minimum.
On Windows? Bottom. Full width. Don't like it? Fuck you. Shut up and cope.
Oh but there's a registry hack to... nope. Not dealing with that shit again after I tried to make the fucking icons smaller AND IT BROKE THE TASK BAR.
Love that proprietary feeling, those crisp millions of dollars of development being used to innovate and develop a robust and perfected operating system.
My family and I did a 21k hike over the filming location for Mount Doom in new Zealand a few years ago. We got fish and chips for dinner afterwards as well and I think it's one of the best foods for after a long hike. That looks awesome e
Also living just a bit north of Victor Harbour you've reminded me I should go down there again soon. Haven't been for a couple of years now.
Came here to say this. Maybe we're too silicon valley and she's too whatever the other valley is in valley girl.
Are they the same valley? Am I having a stroke?
When I was in NZ, we were told that Vigo Mortenson was arrested for carrying a sword around with him in public. He was method acting and when arrested, announced he was Lord Arragorn and only he could wield the sword. It's illegal to have a weapon like that in public so they brought him in but I think Peter Jackson bailed him out and spoke to people.
I had a snytuingnin once but luckily my doctor removed it.
I'm aware this is a huge nitpick, but call it csam not cp. It's exploitative and depicts abuse and should be labelled that whenever it's mentioned.
More brrr more better? Huh. More brrr more better.
