Oh yeah totally. But it deals with proprietary drivers…so im not 100% sure what the restrictions are there. The mapping could be done open source if there was a need/want.

Steam has some upsides most take for granted.
The wor they do to get all the strange controller setups working (and let others make configurations) is a huge time saver when all you want to do is play your games.
Free cloud saves are a life saver when you go from device to device.
The Linux work they do is fantastic.
It goes on and on. But yeah the biggest deal is that if they ever go full corpo….we are in trouble.

Woo we staying!
Also anyone know how to use their API? https://api.fediverse.observer/
I would love to make a “treadiverse” combo line. Cause its hard to look at when piefed is slowly going up, lemmy is slowly going down, and m/k bin is going all over.

I used to do a ton of seeding on isos but it really took its tool on the old harddrive I did it on. I kinda stopped for a long time. I used to do it for the origonal Ubuntu isos like 8.04 or something like that. And puppy linux :)…
Ive never heard of apt-mirror, thats interesting. Ill have to take a look. thanks!

Im having a heck of a time finding material. Any recommendations?
Im downloading this version of wikipedia: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_mini_2025-12
I only have about 100GB left-ish so I dont want to get a huge amount. I might just get ebooks and throw those on there.

I think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?
For me I found out:
- All my software development packages, linux isos, etc…. are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
- While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
- Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
- Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways.
- Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
- I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.

- Comment on Cloudflare Has Blocked 416 Billion AI Bot Requests Since July 1 5 weeks ago:
I had to set up fail2ban + bot detection just to block the suckers. Its mostly amazon and openai for me and my small sites. Google/bing look at robots.text and respect it. Openai in particular slams any site to the ground quick…

- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 month ago:
Used to use travis or clicleci and they both worked really well. Theres some issues with travis being old/expensive and circle got in touble for a few security issues though. gitlab has some nice tools from my experience.
Im interested as well. Ive got a forgjo that I would love to hook into at some point.
