Backups are definitely a task I have been sleeping on. I will set that up.

I have a MacBook Air from 2014 that I have upgraded to Sonoma that works just fine.

I think I could use macOas forever if I had no choice, but I am glad I can just use linux.

This is solid. I am so happy for this advice, never heard of Yabridge. I am willing to mess around if it actually means I can use my plugins with Linux!

I will try syncthing. I don't actually want cloud storage, I just want to be able to mirror files to my different computers for easy access without messing about using flashdrives or bluetooth.

I think I started using Linux way before that. I think I was just curious about whether I was missing anything. I really am not!

Thank you for the advice. I know the data is my responsibility... so I need a better system.

Thank you! I will check those out.

I absolutely have old capbable computers I need to put to work.

Thank you for the reply! Nextcloud seems like the way to go, and it has a client for everything which is nice.

I need to learn how to host things. The pricing is reasonable though, but I am not a business, but I will see.

I like OneDrive, but I no doubt there is a FOSS solution. I just need to look into a hosting provider I guess.

Honestly, a terabyte can be filled up pretty quicky just with video games. High resolution films add up quicker than you think.

The library is good if you have the hardware to rip.

Not to mention stuff from the Internet Archive, which has all the things you definitely have never seen. It is nearly bizarre the gems one can find in the public domain.

I had the same experience when choosing between the Intel or AMD versions of a prebuilt. Went with Intel due to having comparatably better specs at the price. Theading is better on AMD (as a rule?) but I can only have so much fun running multiple VMs.

It sucks. I hope you got the best part.

It does seem pretty intuitive.

Honestly I just sometimes want the app to see a file outside of Downloads.

Cool. That might be the better route than virtualization, since basically every self-hosting project seems to use docker anyways.

Of course I can just virtualize CasaOS...
