Indeed, tailscale/wireguard/zerotier are excellent options to keep only the bare minimum (or even nothing!) exposed to the world.

Who would dare to ask why

The archive file, right?

RIGHT???

Here, have a Bucket

I made a hole on the shelf it sits on, added a grill on top and a 120mm fan below. No more crashing

Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards

Ojcar!

Probably overkill, but NextCloud has a health app with a pretty big suite of features

With a gpu in the mix, it could be used as an htpc/console and also work as a nas/media server with transcoding.

It’s been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I’m on a rather limited hardware, so I don’t know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)

setting up a graphical session with a non-root user and sandboxing Jellyfin media player would be relatively easily, for example using only flatpak, you could sandbox it so it only has access to your media path.

I really like Flame. I have it as my startpage on both desktop and mobile browsers. It’s light and pretty quick to set up

This looks kinda neat, I even tore down my whole servarr stack to give it a go, alas I can’t get bitmagnet to “talk” with prowlarr. I’m probably doing something really stupid, but I can’t figure out how to add the whole thing under a single docker network, I get errors like network somename was found but has incorrect label com.docker.compose.network set to ""

Proton tends to work better because steam games are identified by an AppID and it has a list of tweaks/settings required for games that need them (protonfixes). If you install a game on steam and launch it, it just works, because it knows that you’re trying to run game X and it needs patches Y and Z. On wine it will probably work the same, but you’ll have to install winetricks or change settings yourself.

Wine builds for Lutris made by GloriousEggroll are based on proton and include most of the extra patches along with newest versions of things like VKD3D or DXVK. You just need to install redistributables by hand via winetricks.

Kongregate was dope, it was like Steam but for flash

And they got some really cool experiences we could never dream of. There are now several full games running in browsers, with 3d acceleration and everything. Play-cs or wipeout off the top of my head, but also a lot of older pc arcade and console games on archive.org and new originals on itch.io

Been there, done that. Start with something frendlier. I personally love CasaOS (its just 1 command you need to copy-paste on a fresh ubuntu server install)

There’s already a bunch of platforms running like this for years. None of them are legal but stuff like the descendants of Popcorn Time keep vast libraries of high quality video files available through just p2p networks

I consider it a win nontheless, people like me or you, who were actively engaged on reddit and did “what felt right” (deleting comments and leaving reddit) are probably the kind of people that might make for good conversation and good content (be it links to cool stuff, art, or just rants).

We might get some “bad apples” (trolls, botters, and such), but all in all, I see it as a far healthier alternative to grow gradually from a core of users that was either here from the start, or that moved to the Fediverse to take back a bit of the “old web” feel, where people come together to share cool stuff and ideas.

RIP Aaron Swartz, we’ll keep the old reddit spirit here on Lemmy.
