If you are just self hosting for your own use, just stick with letsencrypt or self signed certificates.

The paid certificates are for businesses where the users need to trust the certificate. They usually come with warranties and identity verification, which is important if you are accepting payments through your website, but it's just a waste of money for personal use.

My GOG games run great on wine, it just takes a bit more work to install them. Wine has better support for early windows games than windows does now.

If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you're lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.

Sure, you can still own digital media, but you can't sell or trade it like you can with a physical copy.

It's impossible to get gigabit speeds on ULF. The datasheet says it uses 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz.

It's emmitting radio signals that an enemy could use to help locate the ship.

That sounds like a good way to get rid of most of the users too.

I'm surprised they didn't put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.

They are probably failing to get enough users, so they will attempt to squeeze as much money from their existing users as they can before they go under.
