A developer shares how they use a single gaming PC for coding, gaming, and self-hosting by leveraging virtualization. The setup uses Hyper-V with a NixOS VM as the primary dev environment, WSL2 for Debian and Arch Linux instances, Windows Sandbox for risky PowerShell experiments, and Podman Desktop for containerized self-hosted apps. Games requiring kernel-level anti-cheat run natively on bare-metal Windows 11, while lighter games stream from a separate Proxmox node. Syncthing handles file sync between the VM and host.

Microsoft has silently extended its free Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for consumers by one additional year, now covering enrolled devices through October 12, 2027. The change was not formally announced but appeared in updated documentation and a blog post editor's note. Consumers can enroll for free by backing up Windows settings to a Microsoft account, redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Reward points, paying $30, or — if in the European Economic Area — simply logging in with a Microsoft account. One ESU license covers up to 10 devices on the same account, and already-enrolled users are automatically covered through the new date. The program is limited to personal devices and excludes domain-joined or MDM-managed systems.
Người dùng thử thay thế OneDrive bằng Nextcloud tự lưu trữ trên TrueNAS nhưng gặp khó khăn trong việc tái tạo đầy đủ các tính năng tích hợp sẵn như Files On-Demand, autosave Office, cộng tác thời gian thực hay bảo vệ ransomware. Dù Nextcloud đáp ứng nhu cầu cơ bản, việc thiết lập các tính năng nâng cao đòi hỏi nhiều nỗ lực và cấu hình phức tạp.
Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để hiểu cách tự tối ưu hóa và mở rộng giải pháp lưu trữ cá nhân bằng các công cụ open-source như Nextcloud, giúp tiết kiệm chi phí và kiểm soát toàn diện hơn so với dịch vụ cloud thương mại.
The TerraMaster F2-425 is a 2-bay x86 NAS currently discounted to $240 during Prime Day. Powered by an Intel N95 CPU with Quick Sync support, it enables hardware-accelerated transcoding for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby. It supports up to 60TB of storage, 2.5GbE networking, and works well with Btrfs for RAID 1 or JBOD setups. The author used it as a remote backup rig connected via Tailscale with Rsync, making it a practical option for 3-2-1 backup pipelines and self-hosting containers without relying on cloud subscriptions.
Terramaster has refreshed its F4-425 NAS lineup with the Pro model, upgrading the CPU from an Intel N150 (4-core) to an Intel Core 3 N350 (8-core, 7W TDP) and doubling the integrated GPU execution units to 32. The unit reviewed is the top configuration with 16GB DDR5, priced at $799.99. A notable discovery: TOS installs on user-inserted disks rather than onboard storage, making drive migration between devices seamless. TOS 7 brings a cleaner UI and better storage management, but the 'AI-native' marketing claim is questioned — the OpenClaw AI feature is merely an orchestration layer requiring external LLM configuration, not on-device inference. Several software rough edges are noted: global search limited to home directory, Jellyfin subdirectory browsing issues, no keyboard navigation in Photos, and apps needing manual re-enabling after each reboot. The underlying Linux environment is Ubuntu 22.04, which reaches EOL in April 2027 — a concern for a newly launched device. Hardware performance is solid, with under 20% CPU/RAM load during photo indexing and under 10% during 4K streaming.
Microsoft's Xbox division has undergone multiple strategy reversals on game exclusivity — from console-exclusive titles, to full multiplatform releases on PlayStation and Nintendo, and now back to a selective exclusivity model under new leadership Asha Sharma. Analysts explain the shift through several lenses: leadership change, two-sided market theory, ecosystem retention, and the need to justify rising console prices. Gears of War: E-Day is now an Xbox exclusive again, while other titles remain multiplatform. Analysts are skeptical the exclusivity pivot will meaningfully drive hardware sales, suggesting it's more about symbolic goodwill than revenue, and warn that studio developers may pay the price for repeated strategic reversals.
Microsoft is raising Xbox console prices worldwide effective August 2, citing a components crisis driving up storage and memory costs by more than 2.5x. The Xbox Series S 512GB jumps from $399.99 to $499.99, the Series S 1TB from $449.99 to $599.99, the Series X Digital from $599.99 to $749.99, and the Series X from $649.99 to $799.99. The 2TB model is being discontinued. Microsoft notes consoles are sold below cost and points to buy-now-pay-later options and refurbished console programs to help with affordability. The announcement follows Valve's Steam Machine also launching at higher-than-expected prices due to similar hardware supply issues.
