I like Metal Gear Solid a lot. Metal Gear Solid 2 was okay but the bait and switch from Solid Snake to Raiden was just aggravating and the plot started getting more crazy than I cared for. By the time Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater came out I was just done. I know I’m in the minority here but it just isn’t for me. The first Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 was about the right balance of game play and funky off the wall story for me.
Hideo Kojima needs someone to tell him when enough is enough.
That is cool. This is the solution I was hoping existed, but someone brought to my attention the need for 100% uptime, an by inference the lack of redundancy on a home solution, so I need to reconsider what I am will to do.
I have a friend in a neighboring state that I visit regularly - we’re setting up disparate SANs, one at his location, the other at mine. We each get half the storage space; we back up to the half onsite and overnight the onsite SAN data gets backed up to the offsite. This has nothing to do with mail, but if you can host a mail server on something as inexpensive as a pi then you could have one at multiple locations for redundancy purposes.
EDIT: I just realized I typed SAN instead of NAS. It’s NAS, I just don’t deal with NAS’s all day at work so I always write that by default.
There’s a non-profit organisation called ICANN at the top who basically controls everything and assigns TLD (top level domains like .com) and so on to registries.
Registries host different TLDs and keep track of all domains under them.
Registrar is an ICANN accredited company that can sell domain names. When you buy abcd.net from say Google domains, Google basically files your domain name with the .net registery.
As far as I know, you can’t buy a domain from ICANN directly because they don’t sell stuff? Only registrars can.
In practice there are registrars that charge you the actual price of the domain + a small registration fee (15 cents maybe) in a transparent way without any markup. An example is cloudflare.
Also in practice stay away from GoDaddy. They’re one of the most horrible companies I know. Porkbun, cloudflare, namecheap, namesilo, Google are all usually moderately priced good options. You can find details of all registrars for a tld and their prices using tld-list like: tld-list.com/tld/nameoftld.
Good luck if you try, I’ve spun up taiga a awhile ago for a work colleague who wanted to try it. I still haven’t figured out how the f SSL Is supposed to work with it. The docs don’t explain it and I had no luck with nginx as reverse proxy so far either.
I often think that to myself as well to be honest. Originally, it was mostly because it’s the only “secure” system that I’m currently hosting and I wanted the ability to airgap it without taking the rest of my homelab offline.
I mostly use my homelab for tinkering/applying what I’m learning without breaking a production system at work so needless to say I’ve learned a lot since I originally deployed bitwarden… Now it’s just because I’m too lazy to spin a new vm and migrate everything.
Another thumbs up for Vikunja. Even approved by the wife! Note that integration with Apple reminders is not working currently and there doesn’t seem to be a solution.
You should really try a distro that’s actually up to date instead of ubuntu or debian, things are changing rapidly because of wayland, and you might not have a good experience on stable distros until the big transition is done.
PlayStation Vita is fantastic for handheld retro gaming, it has Retro Arch and can handle pretty much anything up to GBA. It also runs PS1 and PSP games almost perfectly.
I use i3, but to say that I like it is a bit overstated. It’s fine, does what I expect the very basic of a tiling window manager to do. I used Nimdow for a while and it’s pretty good, the default bar is way better than i3 (supports ANSI colour coding, mouse presses, etc.), but I could never quite get to grips with the tiling algorithm.
I’m working on my own WM though, it’s not tiling per-se, I choose to call in non-overlapping and I’m trying to solve my gripes with i3. Basically windows should not be forcefully expanded if they don’t want to. Try open galculator under i3 and watch the horror. And when expanded the size should be split based on their initial sizes. So if I have Firefox open and want to do something in a quick terminal window the terminal won’t get 1/2 of the screen. Firefox wanted more space than the terminal initially, so the terminal gets to take up a smaller share of the space.
Good idea to link that one too, but this is a feature on Lemmy to have multiple communities with the same topic, no centralization so we aren’t just reliant on one instance. For more niche topics, it might make sense so small communities don’t get even more fragmented. However for communities like gaming, a broad topic, it should be fine to have on multiple instances
