Nah GitHub/MS doesn't allow SSH keys for their internal stuff. You have to use git-credential-manager, which enforces MFA

As a person that's been all electric since 2019, I've always been curious why everyone wants this.

It's really rare for me to drive 700km in one day. What kind of commute do you have?

It's not really about driving 700km (although on a road trip that would be nice) - it's about not having to think twice about driving 200km when you forgot to plug the car in last night, and it's only at 60% charge.

I have a Niro with an on-paper 460km range. If I don't habitually want to operate it outside of the 20-80% charge range, we're playing with about ~170km of range in the colder months. I live 50km from the city, so a roundtrip to a big box store costs >100km. That's not a margin where I get to not think about range.

The keyword being "comfortable".

Most certainly avoidable, unfortunately.

The fall of Rome took like 400 years...

Well over 1000 years of you consider the Byzantine Empire to be Roman, and I think you should.

Life moves much faster now.

...and breaks things.

I can assure you that offline installer you got today from GOG will not work on Windows 20 or whatever OS will be the dominant for PC in 30 or 60 years time.

Most C64, MSX, Apple,Amiga, Atari ST and Dos games can still be played on all majors operating systems.

In fact I used "most" but I can't name one that couldn't be played.

If anything it will be easier than ever to run those games, the platforms you mention can be run in a web browser these days with nothing at all to install or configure or download.

If it works on WINE today, I would expect it to work on WINE tomorrow. Worst case, you can probably just install an older WINE on a newer OS to ensure it.

It will continue to work on the same platforms it does now. Steam on the other hand already dropped support for Windows versions when they were still used by many players.

Given the lengths the Windows development team has gone to, to preserve backward compatibility, to the point that there was individual-game-specific workarounds codified in Windows, makes this claim the same as the GP’s, that Steam will change 30-60 years from now.

The cynic in me thinks you’re both right, mind.

You can literally run 30 year old software on your Windows computer today.

30 year old Windows software is kind of rough. Tried to get some old games working on my Dad's computer this holiday season. DOS based game is easy. Windows 95 based games are hard... First you almost certainly need winevdm for the installer because the installers were almost always 16-bit; then I was getting errors that I can't run on Windows NT, only Windows 95 is supported, and insufficient ram errors because the memory available is too much.

Found some other options (fan remake) for now, but probably I need to shell out the $3 for a modern port or run a whole emulated windows95. Probably wine with options would also work? SSI games, Allied General and Pacific General.

It would presumably work in a virtualized environment.

Are you willing to put monies on that?

I bet it'll run on Wine.

And you can upgrade in future to match your actual needs instead of wasting money trying to front load costs for no benefit.

You can buy a “lightly used” Dell Optiplex with 8gb RAM for like $40 which will cover all your self hosting needs today.

Yup, and if you need something powerful by today’s standards you can grab a mini pc like this (1) one. Install arch or whatever, and go. Install k8s. Run a cluster of 16 nodes on this one little machine.

What's its power consumption?

Mini PCs/uSFF with an Intel i5 6500 generally use about 8-10W with low to moderate load, WiFi disabled.

Linux has this impression because most people use it as an aftermarket OS.

If you buy a device that's designed to run Linux from the start from say, the good people over at System76.com, you'll get a much smoother experience.
