Is anyone surprised? There isn’t even a million gamers in Europe who care about the petition to stop killing games, this is apparently ok.

You can use https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to automate the posts. Or, given the community we’re in, you can selfhost it!

This week I’ve been doing some work on my GOG Downloader to finally back up all my GOG stuff when I buy new disks, that’s pretty much it for my selfhost/homeserver stuff this week.

All manufacturers do it. Of course, not all of them report to China specifically.

If you want to be safe, you could use a phone like Xperia with Sailfish OS (though beware it’s not Android and it’s less user friendly), Pixel with a Graphene OS or something that supports Lineage OS.

It’s not as hard as moving to a different country, really. What the comment described was quite technical internal working of an OS, neither of which does really concern you as a user.

If you simply want to switch to Linux, use some beginner friendly distro (Linux Mint, Fedora etc.) and you’re done.

Just get someone with a 3D printer, save some money: https://www.printables.com/model/141313-deep-rock-galactic-mug

You don’t want a €55 piece of plastic?

Ah, jiggle physics, the most important part of any game.

What did you use? I usually use Syncthing to get my files onto/from the Deck. I also use it to sync my mods, that way I have the same experience whether I turn on the PC or the Deck.

Not 3 for me, but I really love 5. 3 has way too outdated graphics for my tastes.

I only ever used SSH, so I don’t know.

IIRC, that’s exactly it. You can either use their GUI (which is not half bad) or you can use the docker command in the terminal after you install the package.

The easiest would be using docker, you can set up the container to always restart, that way it will be started automatically on NAS restart.

You can also download node.js from the Synology software center and manually add a cronjob to run after reboot, but the docker way is probably the best way to go.

IIRC, you can’t control to which port it’s bound which is not that useful.

As others have said, you have bound your host port 8080 to container port 9090 and then you use caddy to reverse proxy to container port 8080, which doesn’t exist.

As for DNS, it’s just a translation system - you send a domain, it returns its IP (for A or AAAA), everything else is done on server. So your current setup works.

Yes, you can deactivate the port, if you’re not gonna use it on the host, you don’t need it. Since you’re connecting via the internal network, you’re not using the bound ports.

As a side note, use some firewall and disable everything but 80, 443 and 22, you should not leave other ports open, especially if you’re binding all the ports in docker like that.

And perhaps make it a good habit to bind ports to 127.0.0.1 by default, that way no one outside the local server can access them. You can do it like this: “127.0.0.1:8080:9090”

On my PC there were two surprisingly good games: Driftland: The Magic Revival and Hammerting.

Driftland is a really interesting kind of strategy and I quite enjoyed it. Hammerting would be really great if the devs weren’t forced to cancel it by the publisher, as such it’s unfinished and the game doesn’t teach you pretty much anything, so the learning curve is steep. The game loop is fun at first, but gets repetitive (not surprising given it was cancelled).

On my deck I played mostly Palworld because it’s great to play whether you have 30 minutes or 4 hours of time, which is kinda needed for me nowadays because I never know how much gaming time I’ll have.

Unless it’s GOG, then you own the installers you’ve downloaded. Not on the intellectual property sense, but in the physical sense, as in you literally have them stored somewhere.

Kingdom: Two Crowns, the Call of Olympus DLC. Also the first game of 2025 we played, we only took a small break at midnight.

Not really with the huge EU fines. Google eventually does what EU wants, though it takes a while because EU is fucking slow.

POV: You’re Google and think EU didn’t fine you enough lately.

Well, really depends on your definition of interesting. Or what exactly you think is interesting about the news. The information itself might be interesting, but the console is anything but interesting.
