Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

I disagree with this as a default, but think it might be a good idea as something users could toggle.

You’re sick, he’s sick, we’re all sick! SICK!

Yeah, I suppose that may be it. Thanks for the insight.

Am I missing something? Nothing in the ML thread you were in reads remotely close to flaming to me.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what “shit hardware” is

Tim Corey on YouTube has excellent beginner C# material. I would start there.

I feel like that can’t be true, but I have nothing to disprove it

Better?

Are you sure they aren’t overused? 😉

Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don’t skip this step.

Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).

If you are certain you don’t have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.

+1 on lower tier Intel CPU mini PC. I have a slew of different boxes by Beelink, Intel, and Asus. The N95 box I bought from Beelink (basically an N100) has been one of the most impressive for being so low power, and yet handling the wealth of services I’ve been running on it (with a lot of overhead yet).

The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.

You son of a bitch, I’m in.

I’ve become a big fan of mini PC’s for home server use these days (with NAS systems for storage duties). Low power, low heat, low noise, and very affordable.

Beelink on Amazon makes a good selection of them. Always watch for sales. I have several of their machines and have been pleasantly surprised by all of them. The latest addition was one of their N95 systems with 8GB of memory. It hosts Jellyfin, Deluge, Wireguard (client and server), dns, forgejo, etc.

Its not as easy as launching from steam

Nonsense! Often adding as a non-steam game and using proton is one of the fastest ways to get up and running!

But yeah, it’s trivial

Proton does. I switched from Mullvad for that very reason.

Won’t speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE’s. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.

Do you have any sources for this?

Who is in the wrong? Your manager, for not giving you time to refactor? Or you for giving him the option?
