It’s also any RPG-like game that lets you summon creatures or undead

No doubt. Why do you need an account on their servers to use a server on your own hardware? So dumb.

After reading this I’m confused about what immutable means

Not if you buy a gift card before you find a game you want

How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.

Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.

Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!

Yeah and I know one of my laptops only has a 250GB drive.

I thought it was a typo at first, but it was explained. I get it now :)

Yeah no doubt no doubt. I thought it was maybe a typo or something and was supposed to be 4.3, like someone hit 0 on the numpad :D

It makes sense now

Ahhhhh, ok.

Wild… I think I might try to get my OS that big one day just for kicks

Sorry, but 403GB?

That’s a lot of space for an OS, isn’t it?

I kid, but Linux is the third option. I’ve been getting to know it lately and am just about ready to switch my main machine.

You’re on Lemmy and haven’t heard the word of our lord and saviour Linus Torvaldes?

I’ve done it on a 2010 pro and a 2014 pro. Both work quite nicely.

In case you only want to search partial titles to find multiple movies

Ex: Spider-Man .mkv

   Ernest .mkv

Or because show titles will usually have episode titles after them

… I guess it’s not a requirement

Search soulseek with a “ .mkv” at the end (note the space)

You pretty much said what I would’ve said, but probably better :)

I have 3 Macs I want to switch to Linux, so I’m approaching this conversion piece by piece, using my thinkpads as placeholders. Figuring out new cloud software can wait until they’re all switched.

Cool I’ll check this out

A web app for the calendar could be handy… but I could just use another calendar app…

This sounds like a good solution. Can I set it to sync when I’m off my home network?

Ah ok, thanks

I suppose the biggest thing I’m looking for a solution for is photos.

I have my phone to set up to sync to iCloud, which then automatically download to my desktop, which is then automatically backs up via Time Machine.

How could I transition this behaviour to Linux keeping in mind I’ll be using an iPhone for at least another 3 years?

I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.

Is this my future?
