I use a hetzner storage box with borg backups for my backups. It’s pretty cheap and has enough space for my VM and LXC backups, as well as my proxmox host backup. I don’t backup my media collection because that would cost a lot, and I can always redownload most of the things I have if needed.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Moonlighter. That would actually be pretty dope. Just diving into endless castle dungeons killing demons, and then selling their drops in your quaint little merchant shop.

The only thing I’d say is look into whatever tooling and scripts people have made for removing CSAM from your instance. I messed around with a Lemmy instance for a bit, but when I heard about how hard it was to deal with the pedos, I got a little scared about inadvertently hosting CSAM and decided to shut it down. Since then I think I remember hearing about some better automated tooling for that kind of thing though so hopefully you can set that up.

Look into Oracle cloud’s Always Free tier of cloud instances. I have a few of those and they’re decent for free.

Same height. They’re almost exactly the same size.

My dog has eaten the shit from my wife’s dog straight from the source, without it even touching the ground…

I get earworms chronically. They’re so bad sometimes that I have a song stuck in my head even persisting through a full night’s sleep. I started seeing a psychiatrist and got on a Sertraline prescription and it’s helped a lot. For me the earworms are likely a symptom of a mild OCD condition. They also correlate with headaches, so if they’re pretty bad I’ll take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help a little more.

I like my Wyze cam. You can do local sd card storage as well.

Oh yeah, I use it for everything from automated lights to server monitoring notifications to Web scraping for when Publix chicken tender subs are on sale. Most everything you can think of is pretty well documented, and someone’s done it before. They have made some UI changes recently that make creating automations easier, but if you are ok with copying and editing YAML files, you can steal what other people have created pretty easily.

I use either MeTube or https://mollygram.com/ to view IG reels my wife and friends send me. Doesn’t have full browsing though, and might not help with seeing business hours. I tend to just not do business with any place that requires an account to see their info.

Oh yeah VR racing is awesome. If you can afford one, I highly recommend getting a steering wheel with haptic feedback. They have motors in the wheels that will make it pull back to center to straighten out, just like a real car does, as well as interface with a lot of the games directly so that the wheel will shake a bit as you are hitting bumps in the road. I have legitimately never been as immersed in VR as I have been with one of these wheels.

The Logitech G920 is the one I have, looks like it’s on a good sale right now on Amazon too.

Get UFO 50 and get 50 games in one.

Echoing what others have said, a “gaming distro” really isn’t necessary. I have used Ubuntu for years on and off. When I switched my gaming PC to Linux earlier this year I went with Kubuntu, because it’s just Ubuntu and I like KDE Plasma better than Gnome. I do feel like Ubuntu is one of the easiest to find support for when you’re looking online.
