This is the Dark Forest theory of the internet.

Sorry, it was nearly a year ago, I don’t remember the exact details. I’m an experienced IT specialist and they were not common issues I could easily debug and resolve myself. All I remember is I followed some tutorials to address some errors, which ended up creating other errors. I gave up after a couple consecutive evenings of troubleshooting.

I had high hopes for Atlas for gaming.

I formatted and started a fresh install. My main games (League Of Legends, Escape from Tarkov) would not install, with various errors. Then I ran into system errors with permissions.

Back to Win10 Pro + debloat script.

I have same CPU and GPU, with C: on an M.2 (Read 7200 MB/s - Write 5700 MB/s) and 32GB DDR5. When I right-click my desktop/wallpaper, I have the blue spinning wheel for 3 or 4 seconds before the menu opens 😬

SearXNG is a metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing information about its users.

Why use it?

• SearXNG may not offer you as personalized results as Google, but it doesn’t generate a profile about you.

• SearXNG doesn’t care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third-party, and it can’t be used to compromise you.

• SearXNG is free software, the code is 100% open, and everyone is welcome to make it better.

I know it is due an upgrade… but I can’t really convince myself to spend 1000€ on a new rig (mobo, cpu, cooling, DDR5, M.2) when I am still able to do everything I want with this decade old CPU.

The only game I’m having stutters in is Escape From Tarkov (CPU intensive, and optimized for single-core).

Other than that, It runs everything I throw at it without a flinch.

My i7- 4790K from 2014 thanks you.

I went the lazy route and bought a ready to use (4 bay) Synology NAS. Yes it it proprietary and expensive, but the tools just work out of the box and are easy to maintain.
