  I’m not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.

  Well, ideally you encrypt your data before transferring, so the provider never sees your data. I’m using a storagebox to backup btrfs incremental snapshots (using btrbk) and just AES encrypt them locally before sending them over, so I don’t care if the storagebox itself is encrypted.

  I know, my point is just that less people notice that they can also nominate than that they can vote on the finalists, because the latter is promoted more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably yes. But the final voting is advertised on the store front page and usually during the winter sale, sometimes with things like getting cards or such stuff for voting, in addition to the pop-up. At least for me it seems more prominent in the interface than the nominations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nomination is less prominently advertised in Steam compared to the voting itself, but you can nominate any game for an award via its store page. If I hear of it before it is over, it’s usually because the devs of some game I’m playing are asking for nominations, I don’t remember it being advertised on the store frontpage.

  I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn’t reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don’t remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

  I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend’s home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered “near surface”

  I also thought this was a scam like “energized water” and similar, but then found that there are actually medical studies being done on it: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10816294/ But that review paper also says, that larger sample sizes are needed and the mechanisms aren’t explained, so it may turn out useless after all.

  I found these grips very helpful makerworld.com/models/607677

  Without them, my hands go numb after about an hour with the Steamdeck, these make it much more ergonomic for my large hands.
