  • I use mergerfs (and snapraid because I do care about my data and want parity) on ext4 formatted disks. This is a much better way to use your disks if you’re mostly just storing media. RAID is for mitigation of downtime after drive failure, not for joining a bunch of (differently sized?) disks into one pool if downtime isn’t really a problem.




  • While I agree with most of the games in this list that I know, I wouldn’t class Ostranauts as a cleaning game. It’s probably closest to Shipbreaker, at least thematically. You loot derelict spaceships, but can also deconstruct hulls and systems to add them to your own spaceship. Finding a hull with serviceable fusion engine parts is hitting the jackpot, either to sell or for your own ship. While it shares the “I’m in debt for the rest of my life” vibe it’s much easier to climb out of that hole once you understand the game.


  • Arch in the front, Debian in the back(end). I run Arch on my laptop and Debian on my homeserver. I’ve ran Debian on laptops before and if stable is getting older hardware support can be a struggle, much better on a rolling distro like Arch. And having all the newest toys on your desktop is very very nice. While on my homeserver I mostly want stability, everything else runs in (podman) containers anyway.

    Cachy is a distro I would consider, because it’ll theoretically give you slightly better battery life due to the optimised compiles, although I’m not sure you’ll ever really notice. Manjaro has a reputation of breaking far more often than Arch does, so that one’s a no for me.
