Starship Troopers: Extermination is PvE wave/extraction shooter, from the company that developed Squad. Looks pretty fun but if you are not into that universe nor have enough friends you’d need to rely on other players as well.( basically max 12 players in 3 teams atm.) Warning: early access so if you are not tolerant to EA type of development/update cycle just avoid.
There is a couple other PvE wave/extraction shooter as well, so give them a try.( Just google that term, usually around $30 and could go on sale.)
Rocket League, this one I played since launch and really good game to start before your group all come online and then move on to other games.(since it supports up to 4v4, but usually people only queue 2v2 or 3v3 matches.)
I’ve had mullvad for years but never forwarded a port. What’s the use case? Like if a game won’t connect properly or something? Just curious what I’m missing out on
Nah, they’re shutting off port-forwarding because there were probably a bunch of users abusing the service and using it to distribute CSAM, and they got tired of having law enforcement at their door. Port-forwarding itself isn’t inherently bad, but when it’s used for that purpose it is.
I’ve been following memmy which looks like it’s coming along very nicely. The dev has posted a few screenshots and videos with a preview of what it looks like.
Last month, construction workers did something in our street. I didn’t have Landline Internet for a whole week. Always Online is pretty horrible for single player games.
I’ve been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for… years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host
NFS and SMB file shares
syncthing, because I can’t get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
plex media server
nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
paperless-ngx for electronic document management
traefik as a reverse proxy
heimdall to remind me what’s there :)
a couple statically generated web sites
changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
youtube-dl-material
dokuwiki as a second brain
Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.
Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.
I’ve settled on:
FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
FiveFilters Full Text extractor
rss-proxy site scraper
I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I’ve run into a couple sites it doesn’t scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.
Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn’t even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn’t heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.
I’ve been using AirVPN for seven years with few problems. I’d recommend waiting for one of their big sales (Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, anniversary sale) to buy a two or three year plan.
