BTRBK for easy BTRFS snapshots to an external drive.

Rsync to also upload those to B2 compatible storage (encrypted)

I mean they’re clearly not. Codes are one time use and forever bound to you, these can be sold/traded.

I’m not saying they’re good. Just that there is an advantage (and disadvantages)

Yeah, they’re not tied to accounts or consoles. Any console with the card in will be able to play the game after downloading it. You can trade or sell them.

Codes and boxes are just digital purchases with plastic waste attached and no further benefit.

They’re shittier than real physical games, but they still do have that one advantage over digital games, just with the drawback that you still have a physical cartridge you have to switch out and carry around. It’s a mixed bag.

I mean - they’re better than the codes they used to slap in boxes. At least you can lend these or sell them (for the lifespan of the console, or whatever server it uses…)

Sometimes it can. Google and Samsung never had an issue though. The more ad lists you setup the more false-positives you get.

But 99% of the time it’s fine. The other 1% you open the dashboard and look at the last few blocks and whitelist whatever it causing issues.

Oh dear God

They mixed The Powder Toy and Factorio

My free time, I can feel it dying.

I should run now before addiction takes hold.

Switch definitely had Hulu.

Shit they had streaming Netflix on PS2.

I’ve played Portal 2 in VR

yes you need to be VERY used to VR to even think about this without vomiting

The Steam Deck is basically a laptop in the shape of a gaming handheld. You can install any PC software you want right out of the box.

First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you’ll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server’s IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that’s not comprehensible to you, I’d really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I’d recommend starting a Lemmy instance.

Yeah but it’s way easier and less tinkery than what’s described in the OP

Wait why do people want escape there???

I like the backspace there like Colemak has. I can do Fn-Backspace(capslock) to activate Caps Lock but that’s something I added to my Keyboard separately.

Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.

You can typically replace the battery inside the UPS (and should every few years). Looking at $40-50USD for “official” replacements, less for questionable third party ones.

Because as a headless server it’s likely to sit hidden for a long time. This and the always being plugged in is not good for lithium-ion batteries. If/when it starts ballooning will you notice? It’s a fire risk.

UPSes use typically lead-acid batteries like a car.

Heck yeah. Not always the best for power efficiency though.

Old laptops also a great choice but I really recommend removing the battery first.

Oh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.

Awesome news. Lemmy has felt kinda empty and sad lately without them

I just have a script that checks my IP every few minutes and changes the DNS record as necessary

It has been since 2019 but before that it was bash.
