DNS, Jellyfin and game servers mostly; occasionally will tinker with other stuff but those are the ones that have lasted

We share a single PC account and do exactly this to easily separate our profiles; here's what I have for my launcher for example:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=David-Firefox
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer
Exec=firefox %u -P David --class Davidfox
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/david/Launchers/Firefox/Firefox-David.png
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=
StartupNotify=true
Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;ProfileManager;

[Desktop Action NewWindow]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=firefox -P David --class Davidfox -new-window

[Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=firefox -P David --class Davidfox -private-window

[Desktop Action ProfileManager]
Name=Open the Profile Manager
Exec=firefox -ProfileManager --class Davidfox

Here I'm using a custom icon to help tell our profiles apart on our dock and use a custom window class so each profile's windows will group with each other as well.

Our area is celebrating Halloween this weekend (bad weather in the forecast for next weekend) so am looking forward to goofing around with kiddos having fun in their costumes and my own. I don't dress up often but this year put together a great kilt outfit to celebrate my heritage. Good times (especially watching the teens cringe haha).

No, I physically connect the drive, backup my files, then disconnect and swap out for the off-site drive.

I have 2 external SSDs that I rotate keeping them offline and one offsite.

I backup weekly though my most used files are synced online so is sufficient for my use case.

Edit: I use Syncthing to backup photos/videos from phones to my laptop so they're included in the above.

The gas cylinder on mine is failing. I like it at full height though so just cut some spare PVC to snap around it and now no more sinking chair.

Just picked up Ark Survival: Evolve and No Man's Sky

Been playing a lot of survival craft games with my son in law lately which has been great fun

Just nabbed Necesse now that it's out of early access; looking forward to playing with my kiddos :)

I worked a factory job for several years that had nearly unrestricted internet and the ability to install programs. There's a LOT of options here depending on your technical skill and what you're able to get away with. One of my favs was setting up a remote connection to my home network so I could work on project there without much fuss on the work computers and was easy to just close the connection if needed.

Also games. I played a lot of games... even designed some with all the time we had.

Learning web development was my most productive though; I was able to contribute to the company and got promoted to IT which launched my career to where I am now.

This was me. At first I automated some commonly used spreadsheets and then made some simple web tools to help our team which eventually led to getting to their IT department and now I work from home full time as a developer.

Emulators, whether installed locally or played via an online version, are great too - replayed Ocarina of Time over night shift and was awesome for getting through that time

Yeah my kiddos were born when I was 15 and 17. Wife and I dated all of high school and planned to marry anyways.

 

TMB has been on my wishlist for years but the price tag has been too high... this week I noticed it was in stock and a bit of extra funds had came in as well so I decided it was time to finally buy a copy.

The game arrived today and I'm super impressed with the component quality. Even the tuck boxes and other component containers are well beyond the quality I've come to expect in a high quality board game.

Hopefully will find time in an upcoming busy weekend to squeeze in a first play.

Buddy of mine just picked up No Man's Sky on Switch but it lacks the multiplayer features of other systems.

He only has Switch and I only have PC so I've come here to ask:

Aside from Minecraft or Terraria what other games are available on both Switch and PC that we could play cooperatively together?

Also it's totally fine if I need to host a dedicated server for it.

Edit: specifically need PC version playable on Linux and ideally something open world.
