Surprised there is no mention of the eXoDOS collection here. It has thousands of DOS games that run through a launcher with tuned emulation settings for each title.
Personally, I like playing with real hardware but this is probably the best option right now for a jukebox style experience on a modern PC.
Plenty of BBSs around: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/
Or for an old school web experience there is neocities: https://neocities.org/
Great for automatically generating falsehoods; this is true.
Former DPO here. The “right to be forgotten” doesn’t actually mean they have to delete the content of your posts unless it renders you identifiable. Anonymisation is more or less equivalent to deletion under the GDPR, which is why they can get away with replacing usernames with [deleted] when you delete your account.
I have an N150 proxmox setup as well. I had to enable iommu in the kernel to get pci-e pass through working (intel_iommu=on).
Dude loves a speech synthesiser (who doesn’t?)
I built a C64 laptop using one of these. Here it is on a train ride connecting to a BBS.
This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.
You should be able to do everything through the web interface.
You can make network shares by creating shared folders under Storage->Shared Folders then configure your Windows shares through Services->SMB/CIFS
Install the openmediavault-compose plugin to manage your docker containers.
I would also suggest installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin for secure remote access to your services from outside your network.
It has USB 1.1, which is very slow. You can run software from a hard drive if you have a PS2 fat. It is also possible to run from a network share or a PS2 memory card to SD card adapter. Some methods are too slow to play FMV without skipping.
The scar is true to the character from the original novels.
Yes and no. The GDPR applies to personal data, which is to say data pertaining to a personally identifiable subject. Data can be anonymised in order to satisfy the right for deletion, making it no longer personal data, so they can delete your name but keep the content if they want. This is what Reddit does when you delete your account - the content remains but they replace your name with [deleted]. Things get a little more dicey if you reveal enough information in the content of your posts to still render you identifiable, in which case they would be obliged to remove that information so that you could no longer be identified.

This is great for a handful of devices but I deploy and administrate hundreds of devices at my school. As much as I would love to, there’s no way I could sell this without a really robust way of managing device policies & software deployment. I understand RHEL has something like that but that it isn’t quite up to the same standard as the Microsoft admin ecosystem just yet.
The keycaps thing is a huge problem now because of the widespread use of Chromebooks with butterfly switches. 9 times out of 10 if one of those caps is torn off, the switch is permanently damaged and the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.
PDFs are perfect for the one thing they were designed for, which is publishing high quality proofs for printing. They aren’t supposed to be editable. People just use them where they shouldn’t.
Ragebutt’s advice is good RE: maintenance. I would take the back off, make sure it’s discharged then clean around the anode cap and in general make sure there is not excessive dust/soot that could form a path for electrical discharge. Clean the anode with alcohol, apply a little dialectric grease to the cup and put everything back together. There is a decent chance that will help, just make sure not to wipe off the black paint on the tube - this is called “aquadag” and it is important to the operation of the monitor.
This monitor has no OSD or button to trigger a degauss. The coil will be wired directly to AC via a posistor, so it’s entirely passive and will only trigger again when the monitor cools down.
The distortion is caused by the high voltage arcing over, which droops and interrupts beam deflection for a moment. I wouldn’t want to run it this way for very long, because it can damage the flyback transformer over time (although the flyback could itself be arcing anyway).

I have found that the new adapters you can buy are very unreliable. I ended up buying a 20 y/o USB 2.0 dock on eBay and that seems to work with every drive I throw at it.
