If that’s the case you should look into your swappiness settings. You can set this to zero meaning the swap will only be used if you’re actually out of memory, but as others have noted that is maybe not a healthy decision…

Didn’t know that. I agree it is a terrible name, but maybe that’s why it is safe from any cease and desist orders…

Are you maybe looking for something like Revolt or Spacebar?

That is the cheapest option. Maybe the most convenient or most reliable option, but definitely the cheapest.

One of the reasons EGS fails is Fortnite in my opinion. In Fortnite they have done all these things: they created a platform with social abilities and all that. Fortnite still brings them lots and lots of money, but this shouldn’t be in Fortnite it should be in their launcher. It could be even more integrated than Steam does. Why not let games grant you skins you can use in other games as a character model (given the game supports it)?

I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.

I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.

That’s not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.

I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.

Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren’t tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.

Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven’t tested the also mentioned BentoPDF but I suspect it to be the same as it is also trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat. PdfDing has a slightly different approach it might be an option if OnlyOffice does not work out.

I have installed OnlyOffice Community Edition and it seems to work. I need to test it with a few others over a real connection (not just locally), but it seems promising.

I will look into these, do you know if they support collaborative annotations?

You might be right.

Not necessary, no.

I tried that. It opens PDFs in Impress (their PowerPoint) and provides only a very basic annotation interface.

I was wrong. I was using Nextcloud Office not OnlyOffice.

That’s a great tip. I use that to format some sensor readings coming from an external source via REST. It is annoying though you have to import the template every time you use it - I wish this could be done automatically…

Do you really need that DDoS protection? I have been having my own webserver for decades now hosting public sites and I have only once been in the position that my server was not reachable because of a DDoS attack. And even then the attack was not targeted at my server but at my hosting provider at that time. Everything else was handled by fail2ban easily…

Almost never. I don’t see any benefit .

Not making the mistakes Nintendo Wii made means selling a subscription based service? I might be wrong but I suspect we will not see a Nex Playground in every living room in the future. I will even go further and say we will not see even 1 percent of the over 100 million units Nintendo sold.

Gitlab CI/CD pipelines are my go-to tool. At work we self host an instance, for personal projects I use gitlab.com.

On the Orbi: VLAN1 is primary and where I keep my singleboard computers, my servers, two TVs, X-Box, Switches, and my laptop. VLAN2 is for IoT hubs, cameras, Roomba, etc. VLAN3 is strictly lightbulbs, which sounds ridic but when I did a wifi analysis they really really super really take up a lot of wifi bandwidth, I’ve been slowly replacing with Hue and other zigbee, but it’s in progress. I may move the cameras there as well.

It might be a tangent: In my understanding this does not work as you might think. Unless your Orbi actually uses different radios for the different WiFis they will still have to share all available resources - no matter the SSID. Are there really Orbi devices that use different radios for different SSIDs (apart from the obvious 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz + 5 GHz mesh connection).

That is true for a single person - but in a multiple person household that would mean that everyone needs to carry a copy of their with them. So this mechanism is no replacement for a solid backup of the server somewhere else…
