Check the user manual. See if it supports loading a BIOS image from a flash drive.

Skyrim works great with Mod Organizer 2. I’ve never played Rimworld, but it looks like there is a mod manager for it that runs on Linux natively.

What games were you wanting to mod? Mod Organizer 2 works great on Linux. The setup is a bit more complex if you are using it with Steam games though.

Use autodl-irssi or autobrr to grab some free leech torrents as soon as they are uploaded. You will hit 200GB in a few hours if you have a decent upload speed and have port forwarding set correctly.

A mechanic’s stethoscope will make it pretty easy to figure out where the noise is coming from.

Even if you aren’t an uploader, you can still upload torrents by filling requests. You just need to become a power user, which only takes two weeks and 200GB of upload.

Yes, it will probably draw 50+ watts to do something an ARM single board computer could do with less than 5 watts.

That free computer is going to cost you a lot on your electric bill.

A switch mode LED driver can be made very tiny with as few as 4 components. Battery protection and a single cell battery charger can also be very simple.

I’ve got 4.6GB of flatpaks installed on their own subvolume and compression only reduces that to 4.1GB. I would guess that it’s mostly compressed already. The same compression settings reduced my root subvolume from 23GB to 8.4GB.

Add another SSD and dual boot. Keep the windows 10 install for the audio software and use Linux for everything else. Nvidia cards will work in Linux, you just have to install the driver. That’s just a couple of clicks in many distros. I would suggest sticking with a distro that uses X11 since Wayland can still cause some issues with Nvidia GPUs.

There is a donate link on their website.

Of course there’s no difference. Glass is one of the most recyclable materials there is.

I’ve been using it for years. It works quite well. Sometimes it will break on a website until it gets an update. It gets updated fairly frequently though.

GNU Parallel: It lets you run multiple things in parallel. It’s very useful for batch converting large numbers of files.

I’m sure that will just push more people to get their music from soulseek and torrents.

It’s better to stick with brands like Mikrotik and Ubiquiti for WiFi access points and hardware you can run OPNsense or OpenWRT on for a firewall/router.

CD-RWs are not magneto-optical. MiniDiscs are though.

You can use the private DNS function with an ad blocking DNS server like AdGuard.

I would only rip the ones that you can’t download. To get a decent quality transfer from tape, you will need to connect a time base corrector between the VCR and capture card. Unfortunately, they are rather hard to find now and expensive.
