I just recently started routing mine through a gluetun container, but now I'm hitting timeouts pretty consistently. Not sure if there's a solution to that or just deal with it.

What a way with words LOL

I respect it but it's not for me. It feels very defined for one hand size in particular, thing gives me cramps.

Same here. The thing was neat and innovative, but missing the dpad and right stick really brought it down significantly imo. The steam deck got it right - the trackpads are incredibly useful when used as a supplementary feature, but rarely as a full replacement for traditional inputs. Plus the form factor. Dear god the thing was MASSIVE. Incredibly uncomfortable to use and such an awkward shape.

Here's hoping the leaks come to fruition, because a 2.0 version based on the Deck would be 10/10.

Yeah I'd consider blocking out both the bots and AI-users a win-win lmao

Same. I've never been much of a tv/movie person in general, but netflix in its prime was fantastic. But nowadays there are like 30 different streaming services, every single one is egregiously priced, and everything has their own exclusive libraries. Hell I'm surprised they're not streaming genAI slop "movies" yet at the rate they're all going (or maybe they already are, who knows). Fuck all of that noise.

Spotify did the same thing for me years ago. Went from a hand-maintained local library to Spotify, held on to that for like 10 years, ditched them at the start of this year when they were overwhelmingly supporting fascists with political donations. Switched to Tidal for a bit since it has higher quality and better artist payouts, but today I'm right back to hosting a local library (which is better than ever these days), buying what I can directly from artists to support them rather than subscription fees.

I started my homelab with a couple exposed services, but frankly the security upkeep and networking headaches weren't worth the effort when 99% of this server's usage is at home anyway.

I've considered going the Pangolin route to expose a handful of things for family but even that's just way too much effort for very little added value (plus moving my reverse proxy to a VPS doesn't sound ideal in case the internet here goes down).

Getting 2 or 3 extra folks on to wireguard as necessary is just much easier.

Yeah this is why it's so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don't believe he's ever outright apologized and owned up to what he's said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.

Seeding torrents will be next to impossible without it, especially for private trackers. It's pretty vital for torrenting. Anything else, doesn't matter.

I used Mullvad for a year and love the service, but they explicitly don't allow port forwarding, so I recently switched to Proton. Their CEO's comments last year still feel disgusting and I trust them as a company far less than I trust Mullvad as a result, but the service they offer is stellar regardless.

From what I understand, Mullvad is the top choice for a privacy-focused daily driver VPN, while Proton is the best choice for torrenting while still functioning just fine for daily use.

Seconding this one. Legitimately the best casual use controllers I've ever used. Does everything it needs to, works flawlessly out of the box, offers plenty of customization for those who want to dive deeper, and just feels great to use.

Oh for sure, I get that. It's not exactly something you can copyright. But when the entire art style heavily leverages stolen assets, that's not a good look - I imagine they're stuck redoing nearly everything from scratch just so they can be sure to remove anything that was stolen.

I have zero faith in anything Bungie does though until Pete Parsons bites the curb and the studio becomes developer-owned though so I'm sure something will slip through the cracks

The only game I actively played that didn't work on Linux was destiny 2, and switching to cachyOS has really helped me kick that toxic game out for good.
