IIRC UT2K4 shipped with a Linux port on the install media.
In college around the time this came out, there were beefy Linux machines in one of the libraries. You could ssh into them for homework, but you could also physically access them. Xenon, with Nvidia Quadro gfx is my recollection.
So, I would rsync the game to /tmp (no root access of course, and home quota was too small), walk over and enjoy it on high end hardware. Fun stuff!

I have this sort of thing aliased, with some added --include flags to filter file type (e.g., only match source/script files). Super useful!
I know right? What a poser!

Born to late to explore the world.
If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.
Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)—it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.
If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it’s Oracle, so…).
Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.
What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn’t depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.
VPS+VPN, this is what I do.
VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard “server”* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban…). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.
For private facing/LAN-only services I just don’t have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).
Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.
*Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.
This review of Olive Garden went viral, and the review/reviewer was mocked online—but then Anthony Bourdain came to her defense.
Kinda a cute story, and a fun read.
Having lived without a dishwasher for many years, I’m never complaining about loading/unloading the dishwasher. From starting the kettle to finishing a pour over is more than enough time to unload.
And never again having to schlep clothes to the laundromat because we have laundry in our home? Likewise, I’m not going to complain. The only reason laundry takes real effort is when we opt to use the clothesline instead of the dryer.
Not everyone has a dishwasher, washing machine, and clothes dryer, so I absolutely recognize that I’m very fortunate here. And the crazy thing is, these devices aren’t even particularly expensive, especially since they can be had used — I think a big reason folks don’t have them is the installation+room required. Which probably says something about landlords and the general cost per area of housing.
Americans had “unity” after 9/11
Uh, no we didn’t. Source: am American, lived through that period.
Yes we had a brief period of unity (and solidarity with NYC) following 9/11, but as soon as the American War Machine woke up, my country was intensely divided.
That’s how I start my refried beans. After pressure cooker add oil (lots…), salt, and a little vinegar. Sauteed onions, cumin, chili powder also good.
I think it’s way better than any vegetarian refried beans that you get in a can. Probably because they have more salt and oil…
Oracle Free tier, amd64. Only use it because it’s free—limited bandwidth, but given I have slow upload at home it’s never really been a bottleneck. Hate to admit it given it’s Oracle, but I’ve been completely happy with it.
If I switch to a paid VPS I will probably go with racknerd (suggestions welcome though if you have thoughts).
Especially after adding in all the power draw of the automation requires…
What exactly is the incremental power draw for automation? My network gear and server (a little nuc) are sunk power costs as I self host other services.
Idling, my home uses around 100W with the fridge off. One 10W light is an additional 10% of my power budget, and I have a lot more than one light in my house. I also pay about $0.40/kWh.
I can be a bit neurotic about turning off lights when I leave a room, so Home Assistant was a nice way to free up brain space for me. A few motion sensors here and there + some simple automations, and the lights mostly handle themselves. Zigbee sensors and Zigbee or Matter-over-WiFi bulbs, so everything is local. A free VPS+WireGuard setup means I can access them remotely should I need to, with TailScale as a backup.
Cloud failures mean I can’t access remotely, but local control is unaffected—if my smart devices stop working it’s almost certainly my fault :)
You’re thinking of an “educated bed.”
Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?
What exactly is a vegetable, by your definition?
As others point out, vegetable is a culinary term; fruit is a botanical and culinary term.
You’re right, for new drives it looks like a little more with this 20GB retailing for $230, or $11.50/TB.
For refurbished, I recently got a factory renewed 12TB Seagate for $112 ($9.33/TB), but that price is now up to $199 for the same drive (!).
Whenever I have a Linux box without Internet I just USB tether an Android phone—if the phone is on WiFi then it uses that (not cell), so it’s basically just a WiFi adapter that’s almost universally supported. (I think it NATs, so in some circumstances won’t work, but good enough for most emergency use cases.)
