I would agree. But this is c/Daystrom Institute…

4G?! That strikes fear into my heart!

I need this. It is first edition, but I still think a rather lucrative opportunity.

Of course, I also actually need Trek-loving friends to play it with anyhow. A family member once met a friend who was in the same situation but with a bunch of expansions. Unfortunately, she had moved away before a campaign could get started. Maybe I’ll try video conferencing…

I’m just the tiniest bit mad because someone gifted me the 1st edition last Christmas right before the new one. My main hope is the 2nd edition explains the rules better. I did notice better explanations in the quick start guide Modiphius has on their website and hope for the same in the book.

Solution 1: Use Synaptic while in the cafe.

Solution 2: If I’m going to get called a hacker (or cracker, if you’re some dude from the FSF), might as well earn it.

AMD unless you’re actually running AI/ML applications that need a GPU. AMD is easier than NVidia on Linux in every way except for ML and video encoding (although I’m on a Polaris card that lost ROCm support [which I’m bitter about] and I think AMD cards have added a few video codecs since). In GPU compute, Nvidia holds a near-dictatorship, one which I don’t necessarily want to engage in. I haven’t ever used an Intel card, but I’ve heard it seems okay. Annecdotally, graphics support is usable but still improving for gaming. Although its AI ecosystem is immature, I think Intel provides special Tensorflow/Torch modules or something, so with a bit of hacking (but likely less than AMD) you might be able to finagle some stuff into running. Where I’ve heard these shine, though, is in video encoding/decoding. I’ve heard of people buying even the cheapest card and having a blast in FFMPEG.

Truth be told, I don’t mess with ML a lot, but Google Colab provides free GPU-accelerated Linux instances with Nvidia cards, so you could probably just go AMD or Intel and get best usability while just doing AI in Colab.

Debian backports security updates to most software, including popular server software. Stable also always uses an LTS kernel, which stays supported upstream. So long as you’re using latest Debian Stable (Bookworm as of this writing), run apt update often (in fact, ‘’’unattended-upgrades’’’ is probably not the worst idea in this case) and do common sense security practices like a firewall and (brain is not working), you should be good.

In brief, it’s totally fine to use Debian and in fact one of the best options in my opinion.

Maybe Nicole Janeway will let Tuvix live…

Honestly, just strike out Mac. I one time opened the Windows Command Prompt in front of someone and they were like “DOS?” 😂
