I self-host my own rustdesk server and it’s awesome. It just works flawlessly.

I’m not sure if it counts for patient gaming but it’s super lightweight and so damn fun.

this guy’s totally gonna go jerk off

I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.

It’s awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.

I’m almost to 10.00

So, once OS updates are unavailable, the machine might become a weak link from security standpoint or stop running some software.

That’s why I specified:

Double check before buying that it can be wiped and you can put Linux on it.

Yep, that’s what I started with. I had a 2014 Toshiba Chromebook with 16 GB storage and 2 GB memory.

It was my lil ssh/vnc machine for the longest time until the battery stopped working. I replaced it with a proper Thinkpad recently.

An old Chromebook sounds perfect.

Looks like most of those are 11.6". Double check before buying that it can be wiped and you can put Linux on it.

I’ve seen some people discuss the lore a bit based on the trailer put out. It might be worth at least reading up on it

I’d advise against pinetime as a sports watch because it doesn’t accurately track mileage or pace. I’m looking to replace mine eventually with a Garmin or something.

Never used a Pebble, sorry.

If you want simplicity and something between a smart and dumb watch, check out PineTime. The battery on mine lasts for about 8-10 days.

It has basic features like notifications, timers, and step counter. You can also customize the UI.

SBC designers are hungry

Some dude made a proper PC version on Unreal

Haha it’s a game called Escape from Tarkov.

It’s a hardcore extraction shooter. Whatever you bring in to a raid will be lost when you die. If you manage to extract, you can keep whatever loot you found - whether it spawned in the world or you took it from a dead player.

The gear you bring in can be “insured” by vendors. Usually it’s a 24 hour real-world timer if you die with that gear. Even then, the gear that you insure has another filter before it gets returned: Other players and scavengers can take it.

The “lore” of the game explains the insurance return as a deal between the vendors and the scavengers in the area.

PvE Tarkov doesn’t allow you to modify server side things, like insurance return times and whatnot.

Yup, I’ve played it plenty! I even tried setting up a server with Project Fika but for some reason I couldn’t get it going.

I don’t mind competitive games, just not the crazy competitive ones. TF2 is a great example - fun, casual, PvP. Tarkov is probably my least favorite - hyper competitive, huge losses if you die, big incentive to cheat.

It’s a shame that Tarkov is what it is, because I love shooters and it’s probably the best of them, mechanics wise.
