Approximately 437,445,319,335,083 of those.

Yes. Yes it is. I had a single Windows install that was my main system. I eventually decided to semi-switch to Linux, and passed that SSD through to a VM, along with the GPU and half of my USB ports in order to continue running that Windows install for gaming and Adobe stuff. You just have to keep messing around with the config of the VM, and look up info about getting your UUID from Windows to add to your VM config, so your Windows license/activation will keep working as is. There are guides and info for all of this if you Google around. Don’t remember exactly where I found those guides, as I ran that setup for about year and then switched that Windows install back to bare metal, and it has been about another year since then. I do remember that I got the same boot issues as you when switching back and forth between bare metal and VM, and I had to run the Windows boot repair tools to get everything working. Trying looking into that.

About 14TB. Which reminds me, gonna need a new drive to drop in the NAS soon.

I’ve been using it for the last year or so, no issues, as long as I confirm there are no breaking changes before updating my docker container. My only real problem is that I sorely, SORELY, miss the editing features I had in Google photos. There’s been more than a couple of times now that I needed to quickly edit a photo as I would have done with Google photos, and when I couldn’t, got aggravated enough to consider switching back. Still chugging along on immich, though. Still holding out hope that one day they’ll add at least some basic editing features.

Pretty much no games, at this point. I’ve been buying up every game(worth owning, to me) on Steam sales, humble bundle, and other means. The last year or two, I’ve just been buying the new games I want at full price on steam, or waiting for sales if I don’t want it that much. The only game I still refuse to buy is The Sims 4, for that one time every other year that I want to boot into a heavily modded Sims game to play Sims Orgy Simulator 6969™. But even the other dumb hentai waifu nonsense games, I just buy on Steam (half of which are my gf’s, but she refuses to buy them on her own damn account), even though they are easily obtained at the usual locations.

MusicBee, Stardock Fences, obligatory Adobe mention, all VR everything (unless something has changed recently, I haven’t looked in while).

Along with the other suggestions here, Garuda also already does this out-of-the-box.

I bought mine on Amazon. It’s an Addlink. You should find it by searching (ad2TBS91M2P). It’s currently $10 cheaper than when I bought mine. No idea if it’s a good deal anymore, I haven’t shopped for SSDs in a while, so I don’t know current prices to compare.

Bought the deck, upgraded to a 2tb SSD, upgraded the cooling, swapped the shell, added additional grips on the sticks, pads, triggers, rear buttons, did some overclocking and undervolting, spent many hours tweaking various setting and plugins, etc. I’ve played a couple of hours of Mario golf on yuzu, and haven’t otherwise touched it for a single other game. I’ve had it for 8 months. And the $2k gaming laptop that I ended up with a couple of months ago really kind of put the nail in the coffin. I had big plans for the Deck when I bought it(and the many accessories, upgrades, and mods), and those plans just kinda… didn’t become a thing.

I’ve been thinking about pulling the SSD and putting the 512gb back in, and just selling. The only thing stopping me is that I have some ideas on possible major life changes for this time next year(think tiny and/or mobile living arrangements), where the form factor of the Deck would/should be beneficial. That was the original intended purpose of me buying it to begin with. But even there, the laptop is plenty small, and vastly more powerful. Just not sure I see a reason to have both, and if forced to choose one or the other, I mean…

I already have a 60+ hour per week job. I don’t need a second one, endlessly diagnosing why the simplest of tasks are constantly breaking.

I haven’t touched or looked at anything manga-related in a while, but when I was looking at manga hosting solutions, I settled on Mango. If I remember correctly, I chose it specifically because it organizes based on the file/folder structure, including nested folders. So I can manually name and organize the files(my preference, as I never like the way any automated system does it), drop said files into the library folder, run a scan in Mango, and I’m good. Also has 3rd party plugins for downloads(a lot of which are hentai-related though, if I recall).

Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.

Nothing much that I can think of. Everything works just about as well as before. If I need/want to change a cover or other image manually, the jellyfin system is kind of trash, where the Plex system works really well. But that’s a fairly minor complaint, to be fair. My only other issue is the way the unwatched episode badge works. Plex had just changed theirs on me and made it worse. And jellyfin is even more useless than that. But those are the only things I can even think to complain about.

I haven’t seen a specific way to explicitly disable transcoding, like I did on Plex. If I try to play a video in the browser, it obviously needs to transcode my hevc videos, and the CPU in my NAS gets demolished(though it does technically allow the video to play). But as long as I use a player that is capable of direct-play (so the desktop app, or the Android app), it will direct-play automatically, without transcoding. Hasn’t been a problem so far. I plan to upgrade my NAS at some point, and the new build will be more than capable of transcoding.

One time, I had this wild popup that said there were system updates available. Madman that I am, I clicked the update button. Goodbye working system. Decided it was time to switch back to Windows 11 for a while.

Made the switch from Plex to jellyfin last week. Runs so much smoother, far fewer issues, my NAS isn’t lighting itself on fire, and I don’t have unwanted features being shoved down my throat every time I open the client app. A few small UI things I don’t like, but Plex had just fucked up the exact same UI element on me anyway.

I think it’s finally time I get around to setting up a second sonarr instance to customize for anime.

That’s really not how that works.

I use dex daily, for many hours. Moreover, for my use of dex, there is no alternative through any other piece of software or hardware, at all. I was happy with my unlocked OnePlus 9 Pro running Lineage, but went out and switched to an s21 ultra that I can’t even root, let longer install a custom ROM, specifically for dex and no other reason.

Spigen Thin Fit Pro.

They also have another one called Rugged Armor.

Ah, so we have about 6 months to a year before they abruptly kill it off.
