For science!

"Actually, in the terms of service you signed with DirecTV, your NFL Sunday Ticket was set to auto renew after the first free year.

Also.

We’ve billed you for it for two months, and is now past the point where we can remove it. You have 5 additional payments.

This is in fact also not illegal apparently. Since it’s in the terms of service.

If you’d like to sue DirecTV please have your lawyer contact our TEAM of lawyers and we’ll be happy to address it."

Worked that soul sucking job for five long years while going to college. Sucked.

I have terrible distro ideas. I rock kubuntu or Fedora for basic server stuff. So I’d recommend dual booting Ubuntu or Kubuntu just cuz it’s easy and you already have experince with it.

Mostly what I wanted to convey was a sense of excitement for you! No matter what option you end up doing there’s so much to learn here. I remember when I was a very young lad learning how windows 95/98 worked. The jank.

FOSS Linux has that kinda jank. The unpolished functionality of OS’ long forgotten. Idk. Makes me feel like a kid again.

I’m excited for you. Lmk what you end up doing, if you remember. Buying a laptop or dual booting or whatnot.

I’d never heard of piped before. I was all ready to yell at you, bot. But after doing a quick search about it, this looks pretty neat. Can’t believe it never landed on my radar.

Good bot.

“The video card you’re passing through is on the Proxmox server, yes?”

Yes, although my gaming PC itself is the Proxmox Server. So I plug the monitor directly into it. I also have some thin clients that can play the game remotely from the host. A Steamlink and a Steamdeck, and as long as they’re on the same wifi network it works great!

The benefit for me is I can move between different operating systems like dual booting, but it’s way easier to pivot to a whole new OS.

Techno Tim has a YouTube video that I watched a few years ago that sparked the idea. Google Techno Tim Remote Gaming or follow this link if you’d like to watch more.

Proxmox.

I spin up VM’s and pass through my graphics card. If I’m studying I’ll but into kbuntu. If I’m playing or streaming video games, windows 10. I also have several VMs for different purposes. A Win10 with quicken for tracking family expenses. A Proxmox backup server to house backup images from my primary Proxmox cluster, using three old PCs. As an example.

I see you, friend.
