I’ve had this guy for a couple years now: https://a.co/d/ggaW5BS

Few butter patties and some kernels then salt once done; works great

I do similar except I limit qBittorrent to only use the vpn interface so has a built-in kill switch

I use Proton VPN which has port forwarding

Yep iirc virt manager is just a gui front end for qemu though imo certainly makes it easier to manage the vm’s

Yep, initially tried to setup virtual box as I’m more familiar there but could not for the life of me get around install errors. After setting the OS to read-write installing virt manager was pretty straight forward; the only real hiccup I had was that I needed to install win-fsp on the guest os before installing guest additions like virtio-fs which allowed me to add the shared folder between host/guest. Edit: it also required enabling shared memory and updating some registry keys during windows install to ignore the windows 11 install requirements.

My son-in-law got a deck as a cheap gaming PC but also needed to be able to use Adobe software which we were struggling to get working in bottles / wine so we setup virt manager and added a windows VM with a shared folder between host and guest VM. Works great and he’s learning a lot about linux as his daily driver without losing access to the tools he needs for work.

Somehow my brain translated “cricut” as “cactus” and I was having the darnedest time finding it…

Nice board games too; love Clank :)

I like eggs! Also it’s quick and easy and filling and I’m half asleep anyways lol. I use lunch and supper for variety.

LOL

Correct. I have a minimal lunch and moderate supper with no snacks or desserts. Breakfast is my primary meal of the day.

Yum!

I’ve mixed in different stuff over the years though I usually don’t as I’m after a quick and filling breakfast to get me through the work day

lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

Not a fan of the screaming but love the instruments

Instrumental violin metal has been my go-to for work music lately

Just finished reading the beta for Everspark TTRPG and all of these are possible. Excited to play it with my teens.

I use SimpleLogin emails but route them through DDG and works great

I did eventually manage to beat TMNT however the NES game I never managed to beat was Ghosts 'n Goblins.

To be fair I never got to play Battletoads back then so idk how it compares.

Yeah most of my skills are in the 40’s aside from fishing and foraging from lots of magnet fishing
