It's absolutely possible to balance all of what you've mentioned with a bit of time for yourself. Less than when you're younger, yes, but you can make time for yourself. In fact, I'd say it's the wiser route since it fights general burn out, which is all too easy to fall into given how long that list of responsibilities can be.

I've heard some say they prefer to do something less interactive with the downtime they have, which I competely respect, but saying you can't devote time to personal hobbies as an adult simply isn't true. It just takes more concious effort

Some games tie physics to frame rate, which is exploitable for speed runs. Iirc this game has a few tricks that would be affected

Wow, I didn't realize. I must've been playing on a lower difficulty than I remember. Thanks for clarifying

I enjoyed nearly everything about this game but really disliked how bullet spongey the enemies are, especially on high difficulties. It kept me from enjoying the gameplay and bounced me from the whole series, honestly

Edit: After reading replies, I must have been playing on a lower difficulty. This has inspired me to return to the series and play on a higher setting - thanks to everyone that clarified

With the action camera mode (or whatever they call it) I have it working well on my deck

Fair enough. Every service I run depends on encrypted data, so starting the machine without decrypting isn't worthwhile in my case. I have to decrypt to get everything back up after power loss anyway.

Main advantages I'm aware of for full disc encryption are encrypted swap and system config. Overkill for some use cases so YMMV, but wanting to point out that decrypting at boot can be done.

I may be missing something in your use case. As long as you have the port forwarded you can decrypt from anywhere. Use pub key auth and you're good to go

You can decrypt via ssh at boot. I used dropbear to accomplish that on my machine

I've paid for Spotify for years and it is, without a doubt, getting shittier. They removed the integrated google maps car mode without a real replacement. They push podcasts, which most users do not care about, heavily now, despite having poor support for them UX-wise. They keep moving UI elements around without purpose. I've read they also have an exploitative revenue model for musicians on the service, but haven't confirmed that bit myself.

DDG is abysmal for technical subjects such as programming. When searching for anything mildly specific in that arena, I nearly always need to re-search on a different engine to find anything useful

Don't have the time to get into a grammar debate. Just letting you know why you're being downvoted since no one else told you why your statement is incorrect
