    Feels like it doesn’t it? I enjoyed taking apart and fixing the family computer as a kid but it was also out of necessity. If it wasn’t me? Then who else would or could?

    I’m still trying to decide if it’s a “when I was a kid I used to clean my own carburetor” situation. Like, is it a “back in my day men were men and we fixed our computers by hand”, or more so, there’s just not a need to dig into computers unless you enjoy it like any other hobby.

    I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.

    I’ve been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It’s feature rich, and fast.

    Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.

    My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can’t stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.

    I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.

    I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.

    I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.

    I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.

    I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.

    I have 800 hours in the game, played through many times with perfection.

    Save at least 2 of everything. Save 5 of gold star veggies and fruits along with some unstarred.

    Make field snacks and pop them like Skittles. Plan your day a bit, time is ticking.

    Fishing skill first IMO, blast that as much as you can and sell as much as you can.

    There is so much to do, as you find things and progress there will be more and more things.

    Buy strawberries in year 1 at the egg festival. As many as you can. Year two, plant them as beginning of spring. Profit.

    Also have fun, don’t let the days or time stress you out.
