This could be funny if you have a d event computer, specially for od games
- Comment on Where do I even start? 13 hours ago:
If you are interested if rue photo storage then start… With the storage.
So pick up a nas or something similar, pay a bit more for the super intuitive fancy gui product and the start from there.
Learn what is nas and how to connect to a pc Thne learn how to do the same with your smartphone Then learn a bit about networking Then… Continuous for the hardest itch and try to Scratch it
And you need support, come back here, check videos and web pages or even chatgpt, for the basic stuff is quite acceptable

Ehmmmm I still don’t grasp what you mean.
In any case, mandos has a possibility to do it automatically via rsa encryption, so you have the possibility of totally unattended restart.
Because the server is (ideally) in a different location, if one of yiur systems is stolen / compromised then you only delete / revoked the certificates ID and then that machine would not be able to decrypt its own luks system.
I never deployed this system on my own, but I know a few guys who did it

I am afraid I don’t get the question.
What do you exactly mean?

Chech here, I think is a more sensible way of doing things www.recompile.se/mandos
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 6 days ago:
You are partially right, I was fast and sloppy and I gave the impression all is jitted and it is not the reality.
The part of the translation is fine. However there are parts that are compiled beforehand (shaders for example and I can recall something about arm or other architectures, not sure now). And this is a crucial point of the extra performance, because some parts can be ported to more updated/efficient implementations, not because there are less services in the background.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 1 week ago:
As far as I know for the new Vulkans layers and dx12 implementation there is a “translation layer” from the old dx implementation to the most updated one. This is the main reason why old games runs faster on Proton than in w7 for the same hw. Even if they were designed for w7 specifically.
Last time I checked this was done during the booting of the game, but i have to admit this was time ago and it could have been changed.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 1 week ago:
Ummmm sure?
I don’t want to start that extremely old flame war of native VS jit code but…
Proton is not an emulation, it is a translation to native code, and while it has some drawbacks (more memory usage, more time at start up to compile things) it can unlocks a lot of potential when the hw support new capabilities, this is the reason that some dx10 games run faster on Linux…
- Comment on Should I replace NPM? 1 week ago:
Nginx is considered battle tested.
Very few products have this level of puic scrutiny and and a good record of being safe.
Once this is said, the majority of problems come from misconfigurations, so triple check the things
- Comment on Jellyfin, Traefik and Tailscale Config Question 2 weeks ago:
OK I understood that the request came from internet and tailscale was to link the reverse proxy and the server.
In this case try ipv6, pretty sure you have ipv6 and you will have a public address.
But for this case you will need a dns in your network so example.com can be resolved and then your proxy will make the right request.
Yes doable.
- Comment on Jellyfin, Traefik and Tailscale Config Question 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it is possible, but you need a domain (example.com) that I guess you want to be resolved from internet and a public face ip.
After that, yep, if the reverse proxy can resolve tailscale names (basically it has tailscale installed in the same machine) and the service is reachable via tailscale, then it is perfect.
In fact in my setup I have a public domain name that is translated into a private domain name in the reverse proxy (exactly what you want with the addition of tailscale)
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 2 weeks ago:
It is almost impossible to achieve those numbers, specially the idle, and the load we can only to be close to them when we use the watt/ per-useful-instruction metric.
recentest hw will have decent idle consumption (n95 is around 2w) but the rest of the hw will consume more and usually you attach more powerful/energy hungry devices so expect <10w in idle and perhaps <25w under load.
Older hw could not be so bad under load but they will idle less and will consume more
- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 4 weeks ago:
Start with a nas, the rest will naturally come when you try to access your data for outside, or organize your data, or save more data types to your nas.
Your nas should be the central device and you build the rest around it.
Now, The question is, which nas? I would recommend synology, they are not too performance, a bit expensive and the company is lately doing suspicious moves, but the sw and the hw are rock solid and they are quite good for beginners from almost all angles. Extra point for how many howtos and tutorials are present in internet.
Once you are comfortable with them, you will realize the rest

How, because Overton window says the opposite
- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 4 weeks ago:
No, it is not, your premise is false (in our real world. TM.) but your reasoning is good.
Energy does not vanish, you need a process to remove energy of a system.
Think in the planets orbiting the sun or the energy contained in a damm with millions liters of water. The energy is not dissipating itself, it is constant, forever.
So as long as the system is not disturbed, keeping the system in the same state is energy free because you only need energy to alter the system. Even of the energy distributions is not evenly balanced through it.
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 5 weeks ago:
Well, it would not be the first time that an anti cheat is having a Trojan and a Keylogger to add a computer into a botnet.
Let’s be honest here, nobody is interested in yiur specific data but your hw…
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 5 weeks ago:
Gaming in a vm is possible, high end multi-player game in a vm is more complicated because of the performance penalty and the anti cheat (again the same problem) honestly I don’t know how good this solution could be
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 5 weeks ago:
I am not going to be the one to try to stop you but you need to keep in mind that games/sw piracy comes with great risks.
You need to execute anti cheat / drm / copyrighted stuff and this is always a big door open to malware.
Be cautious out there, it is not a pleasant walk

I’ve seen things… Near the gate of Tannhäuser, things you little people wouldn’t believe.
And I am not joking…
- Comment on I2P container 1 month ago:
How is the i2p doing?
Last time I checked (several years ago) it was slow, non performing and scarce in results.
And my lack of knowledge didn’t help at all :)
- Comment on My Proxmox had amnesia after a power loss.. 1 month ago:
By any chance… Your proxmox is not close to any source of big electromagnetic fields, right?
Close to big Transformator or electric motors, right?

OK, it is clearer now, thanks

If I get it correctly, this is a kind of kasm but only for the local user, right?
- Comment on emergency remote access 1 month ago:
Yep, at least for their own internal mistake. I rebooted them a few times in that time because updates and important config updates. Even for power outages (2 iirc) they are resilient, they are set to automatic boot up when the power is back.
- Comment on emergency remote access 1 month ago:
It didn’t happen in more than 5 years…
For critical equipment you need to spend the extra dollar to minimize this kind of stuff
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
If they don’t have a team, they don’t regularly look, if they dont look, they don’t report, if they don’t report your analysis maybe biased because you can only check about what you know…
I hope you can see my point
