You’re not stupid, you’re one of the lucky 10000

I’m lucky enough that my backup server is at my parent’s place I’m their basement, so it’s off-site by already

Rsnapshot on a second server, saving 7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, and 6 mk they backups

You don’t even need a 12th/13th gen chip tbh. I went from a server with a GTX 1660 to one with an i5-8600 (Well, multiple actually - it’s a kubernetes cluster). They can handle multiple 4k transcodes just fine.

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS’s IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

God, that feeling when you first step out of the sewers is a core memory for me. Oblivion was my first TES game, I played that shit until my PS3 save inevitably got corrupted

Honestly, Linux is Linux. Once you’re comfortable enough, that’s really all that differentiates distros between each other. (Minus weird shit like glibc vs musl, nixOS, etc) It’s just been the closest experience I’ve had to “it just works” when it comes to Linux desktop.

I should also shout out that Fedora tends to embrace existing standards rather than make their own (cough Cannonical cough Snap). I’m also a big fan of some Fedora projects, particularly Fedora Silverblue

I wish Valve would release a community version of SteamOS 3.X so we could load it on 3rd party hardware

Kbin.social is going through some tough times handling the load right now, so federating a bit hard due to the cloud flare DDOS protection.

It should smooth out, then you’ll be able to see the same posts

Fedora is pretty cutting edge (updating package versions every 6 months), while still being rock solid. The release upgrade is also the most reliable one I’ve had to deal with - I successfully upgraded an ancient install by 10 versions once.

Holy shit. I love movement tech, this looks amazing. Added to my list!

Both those look awesome! Dusk especially looks right up my alley, but I just bought both on Steam, will be starting with dusk tonight :)

I know you said you want something Debian-based, but Fedora is my go-to distro for daily driver workstations. Rock solid, has up to date software, and the release upgrade process has never failed me.

I find 30 FPS strictly bearable with a controller, unplayable on mouse and keyboard

but I can’t imagine leaving lemmy because of what the devs do in their free time.

Would you still hold this opinion if the Lemmy devs were outright fascists?
