I’m running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.

Lol, I ran a very simple pfsense box on a R710 for years. The most expensive router I’ve ever had (due to power costs).

Nice job! This is the type of stuff I come here for.

Baldur’s Gate 3 and my long time love, Rocket League. I’ve also been playing quite a bit of Marvel Snap when I’m not at home.

Better than Keep?

I feel you. I spent a several hours learning about D&D character creation when I picked up BG3. And I spent a couple more hours crafting a back story that I used to influence my character traits. I’ve never played D&D before, but BG3 is the most fun I’ve had with a game in several years.

Ugh, Google Sheets is so bad it makes me laugh.

Excel is my daily driver for basic data analysis and graph making. For more complicated tasks I use R.

In the early 2000s when I was playing EverQuest like it was my job (~50hr/wk, I’m embarassed to say) I would have a couple recurrent dreams of being a character in EverQuest. The first I was being chased by Cazel (a named sand giant) through a zone called Oasis of Mar. In the second, a griffin was being pulled to the East Commons tunnel (big trading hub in the early days of EverQuest) and I kept dropping my bags trying to run away.

Yep, I have a 3000va unit in my main basement rack. I had to run a 30A circuit for it.

Yeah, I can’t find that setting for compact and list. It’s odd.

Milk, the best way to hydrate.

Awesome, that did it. But also changed the UI font size. Not a big deal, the default was much too small. Thanks for the help!

The only options I have under Setting -> View type -> Fonts and Sizing are “Title Font” and “Description Font”. I have nothing called “Self text”.

The cheapest solution, assuming you have a drill, a small jab saw, a measuring tape, an optional stud finder, and some sort of fishing line, is to run it in the wall. Then the only cost is the Ethernet cable, which is super cheap in bulk. You could do finished keystone jacks on both ends to make it look nice, but they aren’t necessary.

Next to that the next cheapest is probably an old wifi router or AP to pipe the Ethernet from the poweredge into and then a wifi card in your computer.

Power line adapters are also an option.

Wow, that’s cool. Is that an Intel based nic, driver support is good?

Lol

The m700 is a fine box, but doesn’t have the PCIe slot for an add in nic. This would limit it’s utility as a router box. Even a m720q with a pentium would work well as a router box.

A Lenovo m720q with a PCIe riser for your NIC. Try to get on with the 8th gen i5. These typically go for ~$100USD on hardwareswap, and a bit more in ebay.

My daily go to is a jade oolong. But I also keep an early grey, a pu-erh fruit blend (Lost Boys from Adagio) and matcha around for when the mood hits. A nice matcha latte with oat milk and a bit of agave syrup is just fantastic.
