Exactly!

I call them arcade style games.

What do I use this for? Do I install it on my NAS or my gaming pc?

My best guess is this is a self hosted network storage for games and other computers run the games from there? Or do they download the game from there? Is it a way to store game saves? Does it have any use for emulators like yuzu?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m only asking because the software looks really interesting but I just can’t figure out its uses.

Can someone recommend some good alternative zigbee bulbs? I started using sengled but it seems they stopped making zigbee bulbs so they could work closer with Amazon and their ecosystem…

They have official community apps now that they do themselves, and it’s amazing. I’ve switched all my apps over and I’ve had no problems since.

Plex has to be one thing where I like the bloat. It makes it feel like a fully featured streaming service that I control instead of just a fancy looking video folder.

Meta machines on my system offer data. Infra machines on my system run the network (infrastructure). But my favourite is naming all my HDD’s platters; Media Platters, Service Platters, etc.

It started with me running plex on my PC. Now I have a server room with multiple systems always running. It still feels like magic.

What made you move away from FreeNAS?

I recommend a used PC with TrueNAS scale. That way you can actually repair your system and have upgradability. I personally think Synology way over charges for very outdated hardware for the sake of ease, but TrueNAS scale is still better for long term use.

My fridge has been on since it was plugged in. It’s also offline.

Thanks for the response. That’s a big relief.

I have AdGuard Home connected to the isolated network (running on home assistant) so I can use the DHCP server and UI. Any chance AdGuard could be that sort of extra software you are talking about?

Thanks for the quick response.

I see. Thanks!

They took an entire year for just polishing up the game. I’m sure everything else took great time too lol.

I’m genuinely curious how low-spec a server for this could be. If you only allow links to off-site media (only host text), I wonder if that would help with fitting a lot of people on a cheap low-spec server. Hypothetically specific apps instead of using a website could also move a lot of server work onto client devices. Lastly if there could be a way to securely dedicate part of your pc to server hosting the way mining crypto works, the server could provide extra perks that require extra server power (such as animated avatars, higher resolution posts, etc.).

All I’m saying is there are a good few options before we need corporate sponsors.

Unfortunately Reddit is almost too big at this point to fail. The fact that official communities exist over there is enough to keep them afloat. But Reddit as we all knew it is dead. I was always worried about Reddit going public effecting it’s quality, and the staff have only confirmed my fears. Luckily Reddit offers nothing anyone else can do, and jumping ship to a competitor had never been easier.

Long live the Fediverse.
