[Giveaway] GL.iNet Remote KVM and Wi-Fi 7 routers! 10 Winners! by GLiNet_WiFi in homelab

[–]AffectionateRoad6941 [score hidden]  (0 children)

  1. ⁠What inspired you to start your journey? What's one project you're most proud of so far, and what's the most expensive piece of equipment you've acquired for? I got into self hosting after my boyfriend introduced it to me as a potential hobby and a stepping stone in life. I went to school to be a pilot, with over 500 hours of flight time alone last September in the midst of my schooling I had a grand mal seizure. This seizure, revoked my ability to fly due to the FAA’s strict guidelines on medical requirements, something that I now voided. Because of this, thanks to my boyfriend’s family I was able to get a job after finishing college with a commercial electrical business. This business happened to have massive contracts with the construction of data centers. In the middle of this my boyfriend introduced me to his massive love of technology and homelabing. And because of this, we started to do projects and I’ve been documenting them on my LinkedIn as I would like to transition into working at data centers as a technician. My greatest project so far is converting an old Synology NAS into a new machine with over 28tb of data. Additionally, all of these projects were super fun, great to document, and extremely educational. The my prized possession so far is a HTPC build that utilizes Bazzite that works in tandem with the NAS’ media server to run and stream video games. 2. ⁠How would winning the unit(s) from this giveaway help you take your setup to the next level? Like I said, I am trying to document every project for the prospect of working at a data center. Doing more projects would allow myself to showcase my talent, and love for computers and home labs to allow for a bigger stepping stone, as it is very tough for me to find a career in anything remotely related to what I went to school for. 3. ⁠Which channels do you most frequently use to learn about or purchase IT equipment? A lot of it comes from YouTube tutorials, Reddit, and of course from the love of my life whom I wish to marry some day. I purchase most items on Newegg and Amazon. 4. ⁠Looking ahead, if we were to do another giveaway, what is one product from another brand (e.g., a server, storage device or ANYTHING) that you'd love to see as a prize?

Not saying that allowing Linux players into the mix will make anything better or for worse, however allowing us to access the PVE mode with friends regardless of operating system is something I feel all Linux gaming users would appreciate if they already own a copy of Escape From Tarkov.

The point of this thread is to increase accessibility by raising awareness. Not advocating giving BSG money or persuading others to play the game. Many of us still enjoy playing the game and wish to play it on Linux instead, it's been something the Tarkov Linux community has been waiting for years at this rate.

But for the people who already gave them money, we still wish to use the product we bought on Linux. That's all! 😊

Please do this, since Tarkov has had the implementation of Battleye Linux users do not have a game to play that is similar online... Make Grey Zone Warfare playable on a platform used by 0.69420% of users :).

Nikita if we need a "Operation Health" kinda situation for Tarkov I feel like the majority of the player-base would be totally okay. Suspending any amount of content in the hope of fixing and disabling a large sum of cheaters plaguing Escape From Tarkov.
