Oh man I cannot stand it, it’s a tolerable meme format at best when used correctly, but I find it insufferable when it’s applied mindlessly like this

Thanks man, there are dozens of us looking for something like this!

Glances could be a good option, it’s pretty bare bones, but it covers the basics and serves my needs well enough

I thought Proton Mail’s free tier offered third party email client support, it just needed some kind of decryption thingy running in the background?

They’re fuckin’ nihilists dude, they don’t believe in anything

A very important distinction

All your corporate greed are belong to us

The Linux way, as it was written.

Bro

Have you considered some kind of remote mouse app? There’s multiple good options out there, wifimouse.github.io/ for example

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play

You should be able to, ahem, find some convinent ROM collections on most torrent indexers. A standard NES game is only ~128kb, so the whole library of games is only like 750mb. It scales exponentially with every generation as data storage improved, so the SNES library is 2gb, the N64’s is 5gb, and the PS3’s is 20tb. I find that I really don’t need the full library of a consoles releases available, so I usually only choose maybe a hundred or two that I’m interested in, there’s only so much time in the day. If you don’t need a handheld device I can recommend modding your ps3, it can emulate most anything, the hombrew scene is active and there’s been a lot of support for it, plus for the majority of consoles it’s a full custom firmware solution, so it’s a pretty seemless experience once you set it up. Plus with the internal hdd there’s plenty of space for stuff. Pretty much everything up to last gen is easily pirateable, so have fun with it, it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

I would definitely recommend consumer grade hardware for a small home server, I ran older server gear (dual e5645+42GB ram) and found it to be loud and power hungry, especially at idle. Moved over to only slightly newer consumer stuff (i5-3470+8GB ram) and it still did what I needed it to, without costing $40AUD a month to run.

8GB of RAM is perhaps a bit limiting at times but I’ve not yet run into any critical issues because of it. I wouldn’t want to try simultaneous, high bit-rate transcodes on it but aside from that it’s been fine for my use case.

Damn good bot

Plenty of tutorials out there, you can have a google for one that you like. It’s pretty simple though, just download a .iso of the distro you want to try, and then flash it to a thumb drive using, I’d suggest, Rufus. Balena Etcher is another good option.

I believe you need emby premium to use the live TV feature, but I’m not 100% on that

I think it’s a little buffer to make sure the actual blocks on the disk exist and line up with the partition start, but definitely don’t quote me on that

Everyone’s naming Plex, but just to be different I’ll throw Emby out there. I haven’t had any issues with it, and there’s a few features it has that I like.
