• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reitti (v1.1.0) Update: Family mode, faster processing, colors!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I just spun an instance up using the docker compose file. I did disable the exposed ports for all the services except reitti itself. Is there a specific reason you keep them exposed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trouble setting Let's Encrypt certificates for Pangolin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The mail address is not the issue. You can enter any address you want there if you don’t care about Let’s Encrypt being able to reach you in case of problems (they won’t).

  Don’t be afraid of the logs. You don’t have to read or understand every line of them. You have an issue with your certificate? Search for certificate and read the lines above and below to get clues what might have gone wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it as bad as the time Netflix killed the movie industry?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Titanfall 2 is a great shooter and story game. Don’t bother with Titanfall 1 if you are only in for singleplayer as it is multiplayer only.

  We launch over a thousand weather balloons per day?

  Or you just don’t use voice chat? It’s no use anyways if you disconnect your microphone…

  Well … let me calculate this … that makes … Infinite money … Please!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is someone in the attic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it a cleaning up simulator? I can totally feel that, I spent the morning cleaning up a closet full of stuff from my childhood…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Although it is not officially supported you can do this: github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/…/9591

  I did it years ago (I would say 10+ years) and it works perfectly fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It made me think of indirect games like Black & White, Dungeon Keeper, The Settlers or The Sims. You can give orders but you cannot directly control your characters / units. If you limit the amount of orders, add a delay / the possibility for an interception or introduce areas where your orders can’t reach your hero it could do the trick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to send backups on multiple location?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what he means is that if your backup is triggered from your main server and your main server is compromised the backups can also be attacked immediately. If the backup is requested from the backup machine you will at least have the time between the attack and the next backup to prevent the attack from reaching your backup machines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Odin 2 Maker Ayn To Join Anbernic In Pausing US Shipments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing wrong with being a gamer. It’s just a bad day/month/year/presidency to be a US citizen…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recipes, Meal Planning, and Shopping List⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it was KitchenOwl. It’s shopping list works and looks similar to Bring, which we had used before and made the transition for my wife easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

  If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

  If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.

  The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help getting domain to resolve over LAN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also think it may be the browser not using the DNS provided by the router. This is often called Safe Browsing or Secure DNS in browser settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does, but mostly because we’re talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t be to sure if Microsoft is working on something like this. What they did with Flight Simulator was pretty spectacular…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While almost everyone here seems to hate AI (maybe for the wrong reason, but who am I to judge) I like to have AI as it is able to provide answers a simple search engine cannot.

  What I don’t see is hosting something like this myself. The managing of source and indexing them would take too much of my, my server’s and the web servers to be indexed energy (maybe I am wrong).

  There are already good solutions (OpenWebUI with Ollama) that can be tweaked to almost do what you’re describing and the AI models get better every month, so I don’t think a custom AI search engine could keep up with it.

  You can hope there will be a sudden price drop in about 5 years…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to harden against SSH brute-forcing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For a general guide on how to make ssh more secure I stick to www.sshaudit.com You can check your config and they also provide step by step guides for several distros…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Switch is a family console. Neither Xbox nor Playstation can compete in this sector (and maybe they don’t want to).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to redirect voice traffic from WhatsApp and Signal to a landline?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I know that’s not possible for WhatsApp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which non-US domain registrar to use?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use INWX (based in Germany). Prices are consistently low (not always the cheapest, but fair). The web UI is a bit rusty, but it works perfectly and you can manage everything there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosted podcast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Transport Tycoon was fantastic and thanks to OpenTTD I still play it from time to time.

  Gothic 2 is by far the best Action RPG of all time. Witcher 3 comes close, but still fails to surpass it in so many places.

  Banished always gets me with it’s atmosphere. It feels cozy but at the same time you are close to complete annihilation. Oxygen not included hits the same mark, but also has a distinctive art style and humor to it which I love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Paperless-AI is fantastic. I had 750 untagged documents (all my physical mail since 2017). Paperless-AI processed all of them using a local Ollama installation, tagged them, created correspondants and a title for each document. So much work I didn’t have to do… 😍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because the source code is available it does not mean it is free to use and do with it what you want. The license explicitly states that you may use it but have to publish it for free and follow the Steam subscriber agreement. Also this is just source code, not the assets (at least as far as I understand it).
