You hit the nail on the head with your explanation. And I fully agree, played alot of Elite Dangerous when it released but the game loop got boring really fast. I also don’t know how many times I’ve started a Minecraft server with friends, only for us to abandon it after playing on and off for a couple of days.

The same in NMS, tried to make the game more enjoyable by playing with friends, but just the same as with Minecraft. You really need to find or define your own goals you want to achieve. But nowadays with everyday life and a limited amount of time to spend gaming, I tend to gravitate more and more towards more linear/story based games and less sandboxy ones.

Hehe wonderful, thanks for going into a deeper explanation on how you did it! Definitely gonna give it a try the next time I decide to start up the game again 🚀

Are you me?

Who knows, in one way or the other we might be (hello parallel universe?!)

Haha yeah I played it back in the days before the game had a real multiplayer, where you only saw other players as floating lights. Back then the game had a more “lost in the stars” vibe, more so as the sphere was no multiplayer hub and no player made buildings you stumbled upon while exploring. To be fair it also felt somewhat more empty as well.

That’s a sweet looking ship indeed! How was your experience collecting all the necessary ship parts to build this? Do you think it helped make it more enjoyable to follow a youtube guide?

Nowadays being over 30 and having a child I don’t find as much time playing games anymore. Which makes the grinding part of games so much less enjoying and worth while. So following a youtube tutorial sometimes helps me to get through the more grindier spects of a game if its not possible to circumnavigate them.

PS: Woulf you mind sharing the youtube tutorial you followed?

Don’t know, I really would like to love the game. Everytime a new update drops I try to pick up the game, but time after time I struggle to find a game loop which really grabs my attention and keeps me playing. I either fall back into ressource grinding or trying to unlock all expedition rewards. Both getting repetitive and boring after some hours of playing. It’s really a shame as I love the aesthetic and somehow casual feel of the game.

If you guys have any recommendations how to make the game enjoyable again, please feel free to drop a comment, would love to hear from you how you play NMS.

I love the idea! I was actually thinking about building something like a baby monitor with cameras instead of just buying one, so your comment further inspires me to follow up on that. May I ask what camera you were using?

Finally managed to carve out some time since the birth of my daughter two months ago to tinker around a bit. Decided to tackle my gripe to semi-automate updating my services when there is a new release. Now I have Renovate running on my self-hosted Forgejo instance using Forgejo’s actions and a “Podman in Podman” image for its runners. Don’t ask me why I wanted to do a PINP instead of DIND - I guess I like to punish myself. But at least this means everything I deploy is running with Podman 😄
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Did the switch from Docker to Podman a couple of months ago. Now I host all my services (arr-stack, Forgejo, Nextcloud, Authelia, Traefik, Immich… to name a few) on my VPS and mini pc/home server with Podman.

I recently sat up headscale to connect my VPS running the Traefik Proxy to my home lab to make some of my services running on there accessible from the internet. It was quite the journey, to say the least, as networking is not my forte either.

But feel free to dm me if you need some inspiration or support, maybe I can help.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arr Podman Quadlets Setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s where UserNS=keep-id:uid=1000,gid=1000 comes into play. It “maps” the containers’ user to your local user on the host to some extent, there is a deeper explanation of what exactly it does in this GitHub issue: github.com/containers/podman/issues/24934

Well the pod only links the container together, it’s not one systemd file. Every container has its own file, so does the pod and the network (separated by ‘—’ in my code block above). You still can start and stop each container as a service separately or just the whole pod with all containers linked to it. Pods have the advantage that the containers in them can talk to each other more easily.

The network I just created to separate my services from each other. Thinking of it, this was the old setup, as I started using gluetun and run it as a privileged container, it’s using the host network anyway. I edited my post above and removed the network unit file.

Just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for sharing your findings and taking the time to write your post here. I am sure you spent a lot of time and effort researching all of this. These kinds of posts are why I love Lemmy and its communities.

Not currently in need of a new VPN, pretty happy with Proton and my plan is active for another 1.5 years. But I still wanted to say I appreciate your post.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arr Podman Quadlets Setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Nice, did the move from docker to podman a couple of months ago myself. Now running the arr stack, nextcloud, immich and some other services as quadlets. File permission due to podmans rootless nature usually was the culprit if something was not working properly.

I can share my quadlet systemd files I use for the arr stack. I deployed it as a pod:

I run my podman containers in a VM running Alma Linux. Works pretty great so far.

Had the same issue when debugging systemctl errors, journalctl not being very helpful. At one point I just ran podman logs -f <container> in another terminal in a while loop just to catch the logs of the application. Not the most sophisticated approach, but it works 😄

That’s the one feature I am missing after switching to Lawnchar. This and the additional gestures it allowed to configure which I used extensively for like quickly opening my 2FA app. Man how I miss those features…

Yeah only downside, at least on Android, don’t know how it is on iOS, you need to activate all google location accuracy options in order to make it work. Just using the built-in GPS is not sufficient.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Podman Quadlets are so cool⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Nice, did the same for some services I run at home. Now in the process of migrating my stuff on my vps from docker compose to quadlets. It’s a bit more involved but worth the QoL stuff quadlets bring with them, like automatic updates and systemd integration. I’m curious, which is your Linux distro of choice to run your podman quadlets on?

It’s just that we as humans need someone we can blame for our misfortune. Which gets complicated with an artificial intelligence or even simpler algorithms behind the wheel. There’s no-one in particular you can scream at.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If your router allows it you can set your gateway IP from the router (i.e. 192.168.1.1) as the second DNS address in the DHCP settings. So your routers DNS settings would then act as fail over in case your pi-hole is down. That’s at least how I have done it on my ISP router.
