Oh no, you!
A jumpbox. Set up a VPS somewhere, have some remote hands at home set up a VPN client to connect to the VPS, and then you connect to the VPS as well.
Alternatively, is it possible that your ISP can remote config your router and set up the port forwarding again for you?
How do we know it wasn’t the other way around?
You know what’s never happened? Someone coming home way too late after too much to drink, stumbling into the kitchen going “I could really go for an apple right now!”
STORY TIME!
Once upon a time, I worked an offshore rotation. So while I was home, I didn’t have much better to do than to hang out with my friend and his coworkers. They all worked for the local branch of a huge international corporation that shall remain anonymous, so I will only refer to the corporation by their initials: IBM.
This local branch dealt with banking systems, handling large clients in Europe, ensuring that their systems ran the way they should. And to make sure said banks could have their stuff sorted when a problem arose, there was always someone on call.
Well, it sucks being the guy on call when the one who’s the perfect guy to fix it is off, and in the spirit of solidarity, they did the only thing reasonable: Went to a local pub, and placed the on-call phone on the table, so if it rang, the expertise to get it sorted quickly was present.
I usually joined them, and more than once did I go for a piss, passing someone with their phone on their shoulder with a laptop in a bathroom sink, trying to sort out banking issues after having had waaay too many drinks.
When I come home from a humid bar crawl, I always crave greasy food and a messy kernel upgrade
This combined with “America bad, anything anti-america good”

I would love base building in KSA, but Dean Hall (CEO of Rocketwerkz) have explicitly stated that he refuses to say anything on the matter, because Colonies means so many things to different people. In my case, Colonies would mean resource extraction, building/designing a fully fledged launch centers, and (semi-automated) interplanetary logistics, a
The most important part is that they’re building the game from scratch with an engine suitable for the purpose. As mentioned numerous times by Harvester who created KSP: There are so many hacks and workarounds to make Unity work the way they needed it to, and in retrospect Unity was not a suitable choice for a game of that scale. And it is doubtful that any general-purpse engine is.
Rocketwerkz are making their own engine, doing away the Scenes/Actors limitation that are detrimental to how a space game would work. This removes a ton of abstractions resulting in an alpha that runs incredibly smoothly almost independent of part cound. It is worth noting that Rocketwerkz were among the original bidders for developing KSP2, but they lost the bid as they were more focused on having a solid foundation over flashy graphics updates.
As for specific features:
I try to update !kittenspaceagency@sh.itjust.works as often as I can, so there are some more specifics in there.
Future you is talking smack about you.
If you’re going for software RAID, I recommend taking it a step further and go for ZFS: If set up correctly you get all the advantages of raid6, while remaining very flexible.
Used/refurb SAS drives aren’t that expensive. Can someone with better memory than I please link to that site for second hand server components?
The reason why SAS drives are usually more expensive isn’t because the tech itself is more expensive (It’s largelt just a different kind of interface), but rather that “enterprise grade” hardware have a few additional Q&A steps, such as running a break-in cycle at the factory to weed out defective units.
While a server such as the one you described is slightly power hungry, it’s not that bad. Plus, if you wanna get into servers long term, it could serve as a useful way to get used to the hardware involved.
Server hardware is at its core not that different from consumer hardware, but it does often come with some nice and useful additions, such as:
RAID is entirely optional. I seem to be the only one in here who actually like hardware RAID, as software RAID is more popular in the self hosting community. Using it is entirely optional and depends on your use case, though. If you wanna live without, use JBOD mode, and access each drive normally. Alternatively, pool as many disks as you want into RAID6 and you have one large storage device with built-in redundancy. RAIDs can either be managed from the BIOS, or from the OS using tools such as storcli.
Yes, if they delete it you can start a new one with no problem. Also, they only seem to delete unused ones, though.
Whenever you have it set up properly, make a system for you to easily spin up an identical one. Terraform, ansible, etc.
Hoboy, Maybe THIS is the version where Vim finally implements rich text, inline images, and AI/Clippy!
Update: Turns out they didn’t. It’s still just a no-nonsense and overall great text editor 😢
