I got into Raspberry Pi computers, as PC's are just too expensive these days. One of them displays "holiday lights" depending on which holiday is next (e.g., pumpkin for Halloween, cornucopia for Thanksgiving).

Have you looked at Open Media Vault?

Yep, it's the classic storage vs compute trade-off in Computer Science 101. I invision that looking like shader caching when a game starts up. However, I could also see a downloaded game at 50GB exploding to 350GB after said texture expansion, to support older video cards.

No support planned for 6000 series cards. Gotta have 7000 or 9000 series.

I don't have LG, but they are all made in China. I connect my TV to ethernet on a separate IOT network, disable Wifi, and firewall it to hell so it cannot connect out anywhere. I see it trying to send telemetry to China on the deny logs, so if LG is doing this, they are not alone.

PC cases I try to get rid of ASAP, except one I'm saving for a special purpose. Raspberry Pi cases I have a bunch of, but they are not worth shipping anywhere. Free to anyone who asks, I suppose.

A dedicated graphics slot was called AGP. It's dead and gone for good reason.

Hard to choose... but as of this time in my life, my pick is Divinity Original Sin 2. Played thru at least 5 times @ 200 hrs each...

Better off with an older Pi 3 or even Pi 4 (1GB model) to have the reliablity of ethernet for DNS.

Why own the card when you can rent the image (on paper) for less? Seriously, this is just for kids.

+1 for "ban on surveillance-based business models" Also, they should mandate solar panel installations on the roof of all new data centers, to help alieviate the power demands.

What version of pfSense is currently installed?

There is no limit to the idiocracy of congress.

Maybe I could trade this guy a Yubikey for 4TB and make everyone's life better. :D

Bump for someone out there wanting this...
