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.

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.

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.

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.
