  • No worries, no rush! It’s gonna be a weekend project, I think. I’ve got a cluster of separate RPis all doing different stuff, an unused Pi 5 8GB, and some new Lenovos… I think I can condense everything to one machine hahaha.

    Right now I’m running Pi-Hole on a headless Pi and OMV on a second headless Pi, the OMV is just sharing a couple HDDs. If I wanted everything on one lil Lenovo through Docker, would you have any advice for a distro? Should I just pop Mint on it and set it all up that way?

    (Very new and learning, currently have a Pop! desktop that’s been a champion for game stuff while I try to find a new SSD to switch my main game desktops to Linux)






  • Niiiiice! I did SLI 7900GTs when Crysis came out and it ran at like 40+ FPS even with explosions on screen! It cost me an unholy amount…

    the machine I now use for Beat Saber wasn’t as crazy as the Crysis machine: it’s an i5-4790k, 16 or 32GB DDR3, and a couple SSDs. I replaced its 1070 just because I had a better card laying around. I hope it works well for many years to come! It’s also SOMEHOW inexplicably powered by a 500w bronze semi-modular PSU that seems like it’s going to go on forever into eternity… I hope so, it’s been so good to me!



  • My oldest running laptops that have never had a single issue are a MacBook Pro (2011 model, the high-end 15”) and a Lenovo gaming laptop that’s like 14 years old and inexplicably has a second video card you can take out of the side.

    I use them both to this day. They have 16GB RAM and SSDs now, and never had a problem.

    Quick edit: the MacBook Pro has its original battery and lasts over two hours at full brightness still, but has fewer than 40 battery cycles since it was originally a gaming machine for LAN parties I went to. The Lenovo has its original battery and lasts about 45 minutes still.
