The oven would do a much better job, and I don’t get to try pork flavored coffee. That’s a win win situation.

It’s a great roaster!

Coincidentally when I saw this post I was in the middle of roasting a batch.

Starbucks coffee is shit anyway. Support your local roasters and shops, or roast your own if you have the means. It’s a great and delicious hobby.

No way it’s mediocre 😆

Constantine and Minority Report don’t belong on the list tbh. And I say that as a fan of the Hellblazer comics, and someone who doesn’t care for Tom Cruise.

Darktable. A replacement for adobe lightroom.

It’s not too complicated but you don’t get some things for free like with Synology. It require work to setup scripts for offsite backup for example whereas Synology has a backup app with a UI.

For storage, I used to run ZFS in a raidZ2 configuration. If you do this then I suggest having a cron job running a script that can alert you if the pool is unhealthy. This is again something that Synology does for free.

You could also look up trueNAS core and see if that’s something that fits for you.

I own a Synology NAS. It’ll be the first and last one I buy. When I need an upgrade I’ll go back to building my own again.

Everyone else already mentioned the monitor so I’ll do something else.

With newer motherboards, some WiFi/bluetooth chipsets have poor support. I had trouble with the Realtek chipset that came in my brand new motherboard. The solution for me was to buy a pcie WiFi/bluetooth combo card for about $30. Throwing it out there in case you run into the same problem.

At least Sony had some justification. A new and expensive cell architecture. It was ground breaking for its time but cost too much.

Nintendo is giving us something the steam deck and other pc handhelds can do, and trying to charge $80 for games that will almost never go on sale. I can buy old steam titles for less than $10, show me an old Nintendo title that can ever sell for that amount. It’s just not a good enough proposition just to have access to a handful of $80 Nintendo titles.
