My previous laptop was a $300 Chromebook. It was nice enough, but it was s hassle to have to flash legacy coreboot onto it to run native Linux.
On a ThinkPad you just add your install media and boot that shit up.

I switched in 1997.
The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.
Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn't run on NT. It'd take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.
My spouse has switched from Plex to Jellyfin
Maybe it's time to try again? Or consider another spouse?
I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It'd do a full backup of everyone's home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.
We'd keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I'd do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.
I guess at most we'd need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today's LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.
Was just about to chime in with the same. I haven't had any contacts on briar, but plenty on meshtastic. Both serve the same purpose. Meshtastic needs a bit of extra hardware but has great range, briar works on your phone as-is.
Sounds like it's localStorage. But I'd expect that to be covered by "site data" in that option.
It's a bit like cookies, but just for one site. Some think they can avoid cookie consent banners with localStorage.
Firefox has a page on the topic.
It's still cool. It's just prohibitively expensive.
This week it's been Megaman II (1988).
I feel like games before that era had a lot of coin-op focus. Not much content, but hard enough that you'll be pouring more credits into the machine. That said, I've been itching to play Alley Cat (1983), but I don't have a good setup for MS-DOS games at the moment. I'll have to see if my Miyoo mini is up for the task.
I haven't heard of it before, but if Google bans it they must be doing something right.
I'll check it out.
My ISP enabled native IPv6 for me a few months back. It's pretty great. I don't have any windows machines, but I doubt my wife has disabled it on hers.
Anyway, our router is set up to drop incoming IPv6 traffic by default, sanely enough.
Which is exactly why you'd want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.
