Yes, and I love car games - over the years I have collected some things which I'm happy now: aluminium rig, moza wheel, VR headset. So I only do racing games that support VR, since I don't have room for a huge ass screen on my rig.

Just recently found "Flatout 4: Total insanity VR" and it nicely scratches my itch for casual arcade racing, aside from my usual more serious stuff (Euro Truck Sim 2, Raceroom, AMS2, Richard Burns Rally, ...)

Meh. Huuuge marketing budget with countless bought articles over the interwebs. I liked FH4, also bought FH5 which was a letdown, since it essentially just was more of the same. And I'll certainly refrain from buying FH6.

Hi simracing pal! You have pretty much the same setup as myself. I also have the very reasonably priced cog shh motion rig (about 3k euro), and a Pico 4 vr headset. My rig keeps getting better and better... Next purchase may be a better graphics card, when prices go back to normal in a few months or years.

A plex lifetime pass. Was okay until the company went crazy. Now I use Jellyfin and I'm happy.

I'll raise you with https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/tag/gas/ - lots and lots of human made sudokus and other puzzles. The link is for GAS (genuinely approachable sudokus)

Thanks for the clarification. Now I know, that I'll stick to my daily cronjob that just runs pg_dump via ssh to another machine. I get e-mail notifications with my simple shell script as well.

Can you explain to me how the core backup process works? I browsed the git repo, but could not find it after about 10 minutes.

For example PostgreSQL: does it just do a pg_dump of a whole database? Or table for table? What about incremental backups? Are these implemented? And if so, what's the concept behind it?

Otherwise I would not see any use for larger (dozens of gigabytes and more) databases.

I'm a happily divorced dad. Had a lovely evening with my teenage daughter yesterday. We played cards, chess and some other cards game while drinking tea and chatting a lot. She won each game fair and square. After that great time I told her how much I value these moments, and she answered in the same way.

I sometimes play these games in infinitemac dot org. Lots of other good old Mac games there. (Use some operating system from 6 to 9)

The castle is open for visits (entry fee 70 Lei which is about 15€)

Commonly known outside Transylvania as Dracula's Castle, it is marketed as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, who shares his name with Dracula. Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.

The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can see the interior on their own or by a guided tour. At the bottom of the hill is a small open-air museum exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures (cottages, barns, water-driven machinery, etc.) from the Bran region.
