I've used smspool.net a few times without issue.

They have to get Kuzma and Poole out of there and start following the Pistons example. They have Coulibaly, Sarr and whoever they get this year. Get a couple of decent vets and let them teach the young guys how to play properly.

That listing is for a Sandy/Ivy bridge processor from 2011. I would really recommend something newer than Skylake at the minimum. For reference:

Something to also keep in mind is the codec support of the GPU for hardware decoding and transcoding if that's important to you. The Optiplexes will mostly be fine in this regard but if you see yourself needing AV1 support anytime soon, Intel's N line is an efficient and relatively cheap option. Getting HDR tone mapping working at the hardware level might also be something to look out for.

Agreed but that's just life in Linux in general. If epic and gog don't want to do the work to have a legitimate option in Linux (makes sense given market share), we'll keep doing the best we can with the hacky options while supporting the platform that is putting in the work.

Mainly to avoid using YouTube and the mess of that interface. All i need is a chronoligical feed of the channels I like. I'm not overly concerned that they can associate my IP with some viewing activity. As long as there are multiple people in the household using YouTube, it's not a given they know who's watching what. Also it's much easier to have multiple invidious profiles and use them with Firefox containers than it is to have multiple YouTube accounts and switch between them.

Running a remote instance without some sort of IP rotation became infeasible. I've been running it locally since google started actively trying to kill invidious. The only reason that still works is because they want to avoid collateral damage that could affect other people in the household.

Only if they're good games that people are still interested in playing. Crappy games slash prices all the time. Exhibit A: Suicide Squad

The article is from 2022. I'm guessing if it was written today, it would be about bluesky.

For those of us that are out of the loop.

It's high school level drama. Competent adults will work it out.

TSMC has been raising prices on their high-demand nodes but there are rumours of them finally cutting prices on their 6 and 7nm nodes which should reduce the manufacturing costs of the current-gen consoles. Whether it happens in time to make a difference this life cycle remains to be seen.
