Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.

Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…

Ah, my bad “again”… should have mentioned that there’s the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do

Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn’t use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.

And, if you’re like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.

First, stop buying games (*1)

Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+fallacy

(*1) there’s piracy xdd

Not to flame you, but really just an HTML form was all you needed? It’s a super simple feature…

I’m attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

For reference, https://owncloud.dev/architecture/posixfs-storage-driver/

What’s ncd?

Objection! Hehe… No, wait. Really, I see a problem…

If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don’t think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)

There’s also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don’t know you, and perhaps you’re well intended… So, it’s fine for the most part, let’s just assume that’s okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There’s centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.

I can’t see this happening even if the domain names are cool.

And, leaving disadvantages aside. What’s the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it’s quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they’re now…

Thanks for the intentions. Let’s focus on some new ideas, they’ll come…

Been using syncthing with a script on my PC to keep copying stuff on another non synced location in the same filesystem with deduplication enabled (zfs). Technical solution, sadly, not many people are doing it… Btw i use… Xdd

If only you had timeshift and a CoW filesystem ;) rollbacks are easy peasy then!

Indeed! Before I was relying on the listing’s of linuxserver.io , yunohost , casa os , etc .

Oh, it’s already happening. Discussion here: https://programming.dev/post/19211993

I’m all in for new takes that start with a clean slate, if that’s what happens in the near future (e.g. redox-os grows bigger than gnu/ linux *), yet it saddens me that there’s personal health costs on these developers that just wanted to contribute.

* after all, the year of the gnu/ linux desktop has already been past :P

Nice write-up. I’d take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

A cheap VPS with headscale. Or just ZeroTier.com free plan.

Oh, fair point. Perhaps rclone.org then! :O

Syncthing. Look no further, just check the “untrusted device” so that you don’t give unencrypted data to your friend’s disk.

This! And, baby-steps: don’t go about installing every app you see. Try backup strategies, put them to test (bring service down and up again with data from backup). Play, have fun.
