I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?
- Comment on Selfhost Media server and NAS 3 weeks ago:
I would get multiple drives and do RAID. Here’s a helpful calculator to figure out drive quantity, size, and configuration. The reason to do RAID is redundancy. Hard drives will fail (even NAS branded drives). You do not want your photos, media, etc to be lost in that case. I personally do not go with anything below RAID5 (and for super sensitive things, I’ll even go RAID6 - despite the hit on overall capacity. If the optiplex has drive capacity for multiple drives, I strongly recommend you go this route.
- Comment on Can't get DNS to work on web server 4 weeks ago:
An easy way to check is to visit a site like this and check for port 443: www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/. You don’t need to be on the server that’s hosting your portfolio, just any thing that’s on the same network as your portfolio (something behind your external router)
- Comment on Can't get DNS to work on web server 4 weeks ago:
What does your nginx config look like for ssl? It should specify a certificate and key file - that certificate subject needs to match your fully qualified domain name (fqdn). Certificate can have subject alternative names (SAN) for other names and even IP addresses.
For instance, you could have a single certificate for foo.bar with a SAN for just foo and an IP SAN for 192.168.1.30.
Certificates also need to be signed by a certificate authority (CA), and in order for your browser to visit
https://foo.bar/without a warning your browser must trust that CA.If you did a self signed cert, this is most likely the problem you’re running into.
It’s important to know that your communication is still encrypted because of SSL, but since your browser doesn’t trust the CA (or the subject doesn’t match the FQDN) the browser will say it’s not secure.

- Comment on How can I properly learn deaf sign languages? 5 weeks ago:
Well, looks like the National Institute for the Deaf (NTID) had at one point partnered with Georgia Tech on an app, PopSign, but that download link doesn’t work anymore.
Similarly, NTID had a free class, but it got cancelled.
I’m a little surprised there isn’t more from the first (and largest) national technical dead institute…

I love my steam deck. It’s the reason why I finally ditched Windows for Linux on my gaming PC.
This past week I got into emulation on it and have been shocked at how well it has been performing.
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 1 month ago:
We were visiting for about a week and I think it took three separate days, about 20 minutes each day before she felt comfortable doing the VPN stuff herself.
It was definitely painful, but if you’re patient, it’s doable.
Good luck with whichever option you choose!
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 1 month ago:
Speaking as someone who has recently taken on a far-remote (e.g. about 22 hour drive away) support for a MIL, the best thing you could do is set up a VPN.
- It works both ways (typically) so you can easily remote in to their system when they’re on the VPN for updates/troubleshooting
- it minimizes the hardware “on-site” at their location
- Depending on your VPN client, it can have an easy to use GUI, further lowering the barrier if your remote person is tech-inept
For me, I’m still on Plex with a very old lifetime account with my MIL using a dedicated user account - that access is over the Internet. The VPN is to provide access to Overseerr so that she can do things like request specific movies/TV shows without having to email/call.
It’s not perfect - one day I woke up to 26 seasons of “Into the Country”, but it works fairly well.
I sat down with her one day while visiting about a year or so ago and walked her through connecting to the VPN, then getting to the hosted site, then disconnecting from the VPN - basically running drills and making her take notes until she felt she could do it by herself.

Definitely not OP, but I wouldn’t mind remasters of the first game to address the wonky controls. Witcher 2 was fine, but trying to go from Witcher 3 back to Witcher 1 for the first time was not a great experience for me.

- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 1 month ago:
I use netbox too - and if you’re careful about it, you can actually use terraform to create the netbox details. I use one manifest file to handle deployment to Proxmox, set up DNS in PowerDNS, and create the relevant netbox entries.
