For normal use like that 16GB is generally just fine. Some games can use enough that you'll need to close Firefox and other RAM hungry programs though.

As far as needing more than that, people who do heavy design work or edit videos and that kind of thing generally do. For example 32GB running Fusion in Davinci Resolve can be a bit limiting sometimes with higher resolution or 10 bit footage.

That ones actually fine IMO because they advertise Mbps which is fairly clearly different from MBps (b vs B, bit vs byte), and very easy to convert between.

US Mobile let's you pick from all 3 main carriers, and I think their newest plans let you use 2 carriers at the same time too.

Its also quite cheap.

I use it but just on the T-Mobile network because thats the only one that works where I am.

Also Thunderbird, but specifically the Betterbird fork.

It works well, its fast, its lightweight (like 100-200MB of RAM), and has lots of features.

I also have my calendar in it.

Another day, another unreal engine game with massive performance issues.

Oh I see what you mean yeah, I've never used NFS before with it.

Tailscale or Zerotier are the current best options I think.

Yeah it sounds nice but too much time investment for me.

I can install PBS client on any system but it requires manual setup and scheduling which I don't want to do. When used with Proxmox that's all handled for me.

Also I don't think Proxmox cares about storage either, I just use ZFS which is completely standard under the hood.

Thats bad practice though, external drives in Linux should be mounted with no write caching just like they are in windows.

No backup utility like PBS though, thats why I haven't switched.

They're the closest light quality to old incandescent bulbs that I've found, but I don't have any of their smart bulbs so can't comment on that part.

Intel AMT also works for out of band management on consumer hardware.
