As I’ve seen gaming server subscriptions go from £36/y to £23/m (Xbox) in a few years, and cloud CCTV storage from £40/y to £16/m (Google via acquisition of Nest) in a few months, I say we count our stars when a subscription cost remains fair.

Incroyable!


Pretty much every time I played Oblivion I’d spend a week in the tutorial cave, levelling Agility by using a turbo controller and rubber band, jumping in a corner where the ceiling height is just high enough so you can spam about 5 jumps per second. Later on you can do what you said near a goblin to max Sneak, but I think it’s quicker by that guy you need to kill for the Dark Brotherhood as he’s ill and perpetually sleeping


Yay, sweet! 50% more content, right?
Boycott Microsoft


Block all updates to the games and launchers you have, just in case. Sims 4 is dead, guys


I hear you. I’ve taken to writing myself guides on how to set up things based on what worked for me, in case I need to again, purely because of how complicated each one is. Might write blogs later aha


Yeah, the way things at going I feel like I should protect myself further with a VPN, but it does break some of my services’ access. Just another hurdle in the track to net independence that will be overcome! Heaven knows we’ve overcome many to get where we each are.
No need to bust your brain trying too hard - you’ll find an answer eventually!


Rip. I use AgentDVR for security and they do the same thing, but at least with camera footage you don’t want that to be external


I use Emby and it’s flawless, might be worth swimming upstream?


Why is it Epic 😔


It went read-only because the root drive ran out of space. I’ve expanded its storage now. Big whoopsie on my end


Not at all but my god that sounds like that would be recipe for disaster


I would understand if one was the article and the other was the page, but they’re both for the whole page. Should be one, not both.


I migrated to Linux last week. I found out that Rocket League was unsupported (i.e. their servers refused connection) on Linux. So I went to Steam and enabled Proton compatibility for the game, and ran the Windows version with no issues.


Thank you! Definitely looking into that. That’s another thing I’ve never understood, why I lose connection to a local service when the broadband cuts out.
If I get a router with split DNS, and not need an Internet connection… That would be huge.
So that’s DNSSEC… I do have to occasionally let my browser know it’s okay aha, but that’s how Google (I used to use Chrome) added my old admin password to a list of breached passwords…


It hurts, but you may be right. I hate trendsetters for price hikes. Hopefully releases like Peak for $20 can help remind folk that AAAs aren’t always worth the base cost. I just really dislike how capitalism ruins everything, in this case the obsession over currency has led to the games development industry being corporatized; for all but indies it’s largely about how to appease the consumer and maximize profit, instead of how to make something people will love and get enough sales to make another game.
I came in to the franchise at Vice City Stories and San Andreas, loved them! I do know a little about the chronological releases and that there were spinoffs that for some reason weren’t numbered aha. So:
Vice City (Miami 1980s) GTA III -
I preferred San Andreas, and liked it mainly for the size and beauty of the map (post storyline appeal) and radio stations, Vice City for the collectibles, GTA IV for the brilliant and crazy storyline characters, and GTA V for the same reason as San Andreas.
A couple of my all-time favourite games were Rockstar (Need for Speed Most Wanted and Midnight Club 3, underground street racing).


Self-hosting be like ^^
I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues… Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it’s not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router… That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I’m connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH… which works for most services…
The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so… Hope yours goes well!


Yes! This.
I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.
And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though
I imagine it’s more like this
