![Oh Misty! What they did to you?](gta-3-de.jpg)
I have no idea why, but last year the Rockstar team, decided to play a hilarious joke
on us and massacre the 3 iconic GTAs as hard as they could. They messed up the color palette,
changed the characters faces to look like they were from The Simpsons, barely fixed any bugs,
make the jokes more polite, and released this as a Definitive Edition for only (sic!) $59.99.
What do you guys think? Funny? 💀

Maybe a little bit. Also because the 3D Universe GTAs modding community is still alive (or was
recently hehe, because [Rockstar doesn't seem to like it][re3-revc-taken-down]) and over the years has released
many patches/fixes/mods that make it possible to play these amazing games without problems on
new hardware and operating systems. You can just install a few of them and you have your own,
better remaster. Eeeeeee... unless you are a console gamer, then you're at the mercy of Rockstar.

And yeah, I know that original trilogy had cartoonish graphics and didn't try to look super realistic,
but it was all created with style that gave these games a unique vibe and didn't look like Fortnite.
No offence, I also play it sometimes xD. I'm just a bit sad that it's so easy for game companies like
Rockstar to destroy classics and lie to us that it's cool only to make some money.

### My go-to mods for original trilogy
![Screenshot from modded Vice City](gta-vc2.jpg)
So, as I am a PC player who does not like to spend money on crap, and I often like to return to the
original GTA trilogy, I have created a list of mods that I consider worthy of attention. This
small modpack will allow you to feel the classic atmosphere again, but in better quality, and
without bugs. All for free, thanks to the super cool modding community.

Installation process is quite simple and only requires placing the files in proper directories,
everything is described in ReadMe files. Just keep in mind that some of these work best on 1.0 game
version. So if you have a higher one you will probably have to downgrade it. To find out how to do it
visit each game's page on [PCGamingWiki]. It is also important to lock the in-game FPS to a maximum of
60, this can be done with [LimitAdjuster][limitadjuster] (one of the mods) or a external program like [RTSS][rtss].
Otherwise, you can spot many bugs.

![Cool stuff m8](hustler-neofetch.jpg)
As I don't like to pay big tech companies for services that are stealing my data,
some time ago I decided to change something in my life and set up a home server. I mainly wanted
to create a solution to sync files from many devices, organize my movie collection as well as
having my own instance of some password manager. I knew what software I need, but I wasn't
sure about the hardware. And that's how I started spending more and more time on the
[r/selfhosted][selfhosted] and [r/HomeServer][homeserver] subreddits.

Oh man 💀, it was long hours of reading and making difficult decisions, after all,
I did not have an infinite amount of money, but I also wanted it to be equipment that
would last me a good couple of years and which will be easy upgradable. It was also
important to me that the server be quiet, and small so it wouldn't draw attention in
a home environment.

End of the day, I did it! I put together a server that has been running smoothly for a year now
and runs services I need in about 30 [docker containers][docker-containers]. If you are interested in what services
I selfhost and what software I use to manage the server, you can read about it [here][homeserver-repo].

Ok, but what about my hardware choices? Let's get down to it.
### 🔥 CPU
[Ryzen 3 2200G][cpu]
Since I didn't want to buy a separate graphics card, it had to be a processor with an integrated GPU
which will handle video transcoding with Jellyfin. The whole server was to use the Proxmox platform,
(I ended up with Ubuntu on bare-metal) so I wanted it to have at least 4 cores.

### 💨 CPU cooler
The only right choice, dead silent and beautiful [Noctua NH-L9a][cpu-cooler].

### 📝 RAM
[Patriot Viper DDR4, 16 GB, 3200MHz, CL16][ram]
Many people on Reddit say that the only option for server usage is RAM with ECC (Error Correction Code),
to maximally protect the server from data loss. However, I did not opt for such because of the price and
the fact that the likelihood of an accident in which data will be corrupted by a RAM error is very low,
and I keep several backups offsite anyway.

### 💿💿 Storage drives
2x [Sandisk Ultra 3D 2TB SSD][storage-drives]
Well... I planned to use HDD drives, but found they were too noisy for the server which is located in my living room where I spend a lot of time, so I had to get SSDs. Note that the best option for
server are SSDs with PLP (Power Loss Protection) but they are more expensive. 🤨

Reliable beast with passive mode - [Seasonic FOCUS GX-550][psu].
### 📦 Case
Good looking, small and very popular among selfhosted community - [Fractal Design Node 304][case]
(6x 3.5"/2.5" disk bays).

### 🔋 UPS
Inexpensive but sufficient [CyberPower UT850EG-FR][ups]. In my case it's used only to shut down the server gracefully in the event of a power outage.

This is my first post on this website, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank a few people
