Obviously NixOS is the way to go for a gaming OS, just use the right flake and you're all set!

Pascal was a famous thinker of their time, particularly in mathematics.

Two of the ideas they're remembered for are Pascals Triangle and Pascals Wager.

Their triangle is a helpful tool for combinations of things. Their wager is a (kinda bad in my opinion) argument for why you should believe in the Christian God.

The xkcd comic is a combination of both ideas

You can review blocked instances here:

https://lemmy.world/instances

As for why? You're absolutely right, this is often over political issues(drama, censorship, values, etc), sometimes technical ones, and there's no guarantee that your instance's mods goals are aligned with yours. In a healthy instance, you can search for the name of a blocked instance and find a relevant post about why it was blocked.

There are also blocklists: https://gardenfence.github.io/ I don't know offhand if Lemmy.world makes use of them.

You can, of course, go to the blocked instance as a guest, to investigate or validate your mods' claims, but a blocked instance will not shoot up on your page.

A demon core was part of early nuclear bomb research. The type of reaction they were studying would emit blue light and a ton of radiation.

It's been a meme to imagine the demon core as an available weapon in medieval fantasy, since it looks somewhat like a mace.

All about that bass, 'bout that bass

Me too, but the pessimist in me thinks that the fine will work out to a 0.1% cost of doing business tax. Then publicly pinkie promise that they'll never do it again, while not stopping and showing no signs of stopping. 😓🙄😮‍💨

That would provide the storage. If you left it connected to a computer that was permanently on, and that computer was connected to a network, you've got a NAS. ☺️

There's more to grow from there. You'll want to consider backups before too long as a safeguard against data loss, (but if this is your first NAS, that can be a task for another day)

Syncthing is what Dropbox was before Dropbox became a cloud service. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, efficiently and using encryption. It uses open protocols and is open source.

A NAS is Network Attached Storage. It's basically just a computer dedicated to providing you storage space. (Could be as simple as an old laptop with external USB drives hosting a Windows share to … much much more complicated, including dedicated specialized hardware or NAS-specific OS). Having your own NAS is important to building your own cloud alternatives, in my opinion.

Have you considered syncthing & NAS?

But even that would cover a large percentage of the American workforce, and I imagine over a few years, it will grow to cover all users that don't need personal accountants. Progress is progress.

Personally, I hope this transitions into a system where they email you a proposed return and you do nothing to accept it (only needing to take action if there's an issue).

I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?
