rclone supports lots of services

including Proton Drive ...

Don't disagree, just looking at it from the Lord Farquaad point of view, "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make". I think space exploration is good and if we have to burn a few billionaires to get there, I am sanguine.

Eh, perhaps mission is a bit much, with the military connotations, but they are testing some valid hypotheses, like will high radiation render billionaires sterile/cancer ridden and will an untested spacesuit kill one. Worthy in my mind.

Morbid humour aside, it's not totally a joyride, could be worse.

Sane response to an insane world...

think of it as another option after flight vs fight responses

Usually expressed as fight, flight or freeze...

Thanks for that, worth knowing.

True, but OP refers to 'some cherished items'

I assumed the context here was torrenting rather than streaming, download blu-ray remuxes and encode to your liking.

A 16Tb manufacturer recertified drive is USD160 which should sort storage (and later get a second for offline backup). I'm actually holding out until I get GPU encode (apparently CPU is somewhat better, but power considerations, maybe next gen). Do wish the scene would get on with switching, though, are we dinosaurs?

RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch

No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch... Best have a look before starting.

More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you'll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you'll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn't matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it's easy to switch to another. You've got time, take some to skill up.

Absitively, use case here IMO is set and forget autoupdate to stay current and SELinux (which actually reduces surface)
