Interesting post timing. At the airport lounge before a long int'l flight and in preparation I'm installing bottles + homm3 GOG + HOTA.

While I played and wholeheartedly commend the developers' effort in making VCMI I still prefer the original + HD/HOTA.

I'd argue Ruckus APs are much better than Ubiquiti's

Agreed. I run my OpenBSD firewall on my odroid h4 - it's relatively cheap and plenty powerful to route gigabit+. I prefer pf and the simplicity of OpenBSD over Debian for such a purpose-built application. For my other "home servers" I simply run Debian as I believe it to be one of the more sane Linux choices for a server-type application.

Wonder if there is a good remote with voice input to use for YouTube and Kodi so I can replace my shield TV.

I haven't had any problems with my shield since the update that killed it about 3 years ago.

Or maybe I've just gotten used to it?

Are you having issues with yours?

My Shield is 7 or 8 years old at this point and still going strong. Was very much hoping for something like this from Steam just in case something were to happen to it.

Looks like an AS/400

Another message of hope for anyone struggling with the possibility of having tinnitus:

I may not be able to fully recount all the factors but I believe my ears may have had some residual fluid after recovering from covid (my covid symptoms were entirely unpleasant and impacted me differently in many ways). Before my ears cleared up, I took a domestic flight where I actually got vertigo for a few 10s of seconds on ascent. My ENT believes my eardrum expanded to touch the inner ear.

The following day I went to a gun range and did skeet shooting for a couple of hours then shot really big guns and sniper rifles. The earplugs I brought myself were likely not adequate and taking them out and putting them in repeatedly in relatively cool weather likely didn't provide the best seal either.

That night or the next day I noticed lots of ringing in my ears and I started to become worried when it was still there even after a week. The worst was being in silent meeting rooms at work where it was most noticeable. It was extremely depressing and I nearly lost all hope.

I visited 2 separate ENTs and each just sent me re-take my yearly hearing test. They didn't really provide any comforting words other than to take the test and wear hearing protection, etc..

Before the hearing test (~2 weeks after the gun range and flights) I explained everything to the audiologist and he said "Lots of people have various degrees of tinnitus/ringing, just don't think about it. I have it and that's what I do. Don't let it bother you and live your life."

Interestingly enough, my audio test came back better than the previous 10 year results and since then I just don't think about it. If I do I can certainly hear it. My only personal takeaway is that the brain and body are very complex and have an arsenal of mechanisms to deal with trauma and that for this particular instance I've been very lucky.

I have slightly similar experience. When I was a teenager, I had a random flu shortly before two flights abroad. I didn't feel that sick anymore, but apparently my ears were still badly blocked. On descent my ears would hurt like hell, and I was half-deaf for rest of the day. That was more than ten years ago, and since then I've suffered from moderate tinnitus.

I too got used to it, but I would really advice people to avoid flying sick if they can help it (or at least use some meds to unblock your ears while doing it).

I like jj and would just switch over to it but I'm too reliant upon certain workflows fugitive provides. I hope to see a good neovim plugin someday.

Where are you seeing 8TB (assuming you meant TB and Tb) for $300?

At Amazon. Guess I needed to check it better. Also I shouldn't did it in a bar. sigh

Anyway, I have a spreadsheet with both the prices and $/Gb/Tb so I just copy the relevant part here and hope formatting would persist:

    $/Tb Item Interface Capacity Price, $
     $90 SSD 4Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q4T0BW) SATA3 4000 $359
     $96 SSD 2Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q2T0BW) SATA3 2000 $192
    $102 USB 1Tb SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go (SDDDC3-1T00-G46) USB 1000 $102
    $103 SSD Samsung PM1643a MZILT3T8HBLS-00007 3.84T (root) SAS 3840 $394
    $104 SSD 4Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E4T0BW) SATA3 4000 $417
    $105 SSD 2Tb Transcend 225S (TS2TSSD225S) SATA3 2000 $210
    $106 SSD 4Tb Transcend 230S (TS4TSSD230S) SATA3 4000 $425
    $107 SDXC 2Tb MicroSD SanDisk Extreme (SDSQXAV-2T00-GN6MN) SDXC 2000 $215
    $109 SSD 2Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E2T0BW) SATA3 2000 $217
    $111 SSD 2Tb Kingston KC600 Series (SKC600/2048G) SATA3 2000 $223
    $115 SSD 8Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q8T0BW) SATA3 8000 $923
    $128 SSD 7.68Tb Samsung PM9A3 (MZQL27T6HBLA-00A07) OEM U.2 7680 $985
    $129 SSD 1Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E1T0BW) SATA3 1000 $129
    $134 SSD 3.2Tb Intel P4610 Series (SSDPE2KE032T801) U.2 3200 $430
    $140 SSD 1.6Tb Intel P4610 Series (SSDPE2KE016T801) U.2 1600 $224

So 8Tb QVO are $115/TB.

Might be useful to add an "endurance" column to this, as the enterprise drives will tend to have multiple times the endurance of the consumer ones.

The endurance ratings are definitely worth knowing about if you write heavily to things.

Will need to try this in a terminal but on initial glance it looks similar to terminus (a font I've been trying to find a replacement for for over 20 years....)

Also realized this when trying to get terminus to work. I like the simplicity of foot in wayland and st/alacritty in Xorg. I wish I could find a terminus replacement and I do give it a few hours each year but still haven't had any luck...
