I power off my main server during the night cuz it’s too loud, but I have a secondary one (an old mini-pc) to handle sh!t like wireguard, PiHole and DNS

Yes, that one. I know there are others, but you know exactly which is the one I’m referring to.

16 GB is pleeeeenty for TrueNAS scale

It’s say definitely try TrueNAS scale, it’s dead simple to setup and dead simple to use. You can also run VMs on it along side the apps.

That one fucked up hentai comic… I wanna give them mental distress as a leg up in the war between them and us.

My friends have tried to get me into destiny 2, but it’s just really expensive and you cannot play the whole story… And it doesn’t run on linux so that’s also a thing.

It very much is a skill issue. Elden Ring pretty much has the same philosophy and it’s my favorite game of all time… The difference being that Elden Ring is way easier. My main issue with sekiro is that I can’t parry for sh!t in any game, I’m just bad at it. So obviously, a game balanced entirely about parrying is gonna be hard for me. But yk, the lack of interesting weapons, skills and exploration also play a big part in my lack of enjoyment of sekiro in particular.

Sekiro. Too hard for me, massive skill issue ik. (And I have beaten Elden Ring and shadow of the erdtree so it’s not like I dislike all souls-likes… idk)

Anything made by Riot games. They are just worse versions of already existing games.

Destiny 2. I can’t play the whole story so I do not care to start it + yk, microtransactions…

Hollow knight. Same deal as sekiro, skill issue on my part.

Factorio solo. Great fun with friends but I just can’t get into playing it solo…

A NAS. Godsent when you’re dealing with multiple machines.

Selfhosted VPN, another godsent for bypassing network restrictions or using public wifi.

Not really easy to selfhost atm, but FOSS and we’ll get there eventually…

Are they? I’ve never really ran one…

I have a big boi ProLiant DL380e Gen8 and it’s pretty good as long as you have a dedicated room for it as it’s really loud. If you get them for really cheap like I did (I got mine maxed out for less than 100$), then yeah it’s a good deal.

It’s not amazing on power consumption either with like 130W at idle… I’d imagine the smaller ones using use less power, but I wouldn’t count on it, as it is still old hardware. However, if the price is right, then it could absolutely be worth it… If you can withstand the noise.

And looking at the specs of the N36L, for the same price you could very easily scrounge together a custom build from 2nd hand parts, which will be quieter, faster and most likely use less power…

I mean, if asking to help with code/poorly explained JS libraries counts then… Pretty much every day. Other than that… very rarely.

Just beat Elden Ring shadow of the erdtree… Feeling great

I feel like you have the wrong idea of what hacking acting a actually is… But yes, as long as you don’t do anything too stupid line forwarding all of your ports or going without any sort of firewall, the chances of you getting hacked are very low…

As for DDOSing, you can get DDOSed with or without self hosting all the same, but I wouldn’t worry about it.

I know, but a library or a piece of software should explain it’s own functions. I might know my way around the tech stack, but if you don’t explain what your library does, I have no way of knowing it…

That documentation is supposed to explain how a thing works to people who don’t know how it works. I know, sounds extremely obvious, but you’d be surprised how much documentation out there is written in a way, expecting you to already know what it’s talking about. No. I do not. It is the documentation’s job to explain ME what IT is talking about…
