If I had a nickel for every time in the past week I saw an article about a courier game I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s odd that it happened twice.

Yeah, you’d have a LoadBalancer service for Traefik which gets assigned a VIP outside the cluster.

virtual IP addresses

Yeah, metallb.

The container is reproducible. Container configuration is in version control. That leaves you with the volumes mounted into the container, which you back up like any other disk.

It’s not that Seagate improved (which it may have), it’s more that WD has noticeably declined. It’s not a race to the bottom (yet), but there’s effectively no competition any more, so they aren’t incentivised to improve quality.

Figure out the uid/gid (numeric) for the user in lxc, then change the data permissions to those.

Since FF 6 and 7 have already been mentioned, I’m going to give a honorable mention to Shining Force.

They’ve been shitty for a long time, with a history of refusing RMA, damaging items during RMA, selling clearly damaged/used items as new, etc. This is just another turd on the pile.

Use -m and limit the build job’s memory so it doesn’t kill the docker daemon.

Apart from the license incompatibility (which doesn’t stop it from being used by distros, as Ubuntu has shown): While it’s a fantastic filesystem for servers, it is also resource hungry and not suitable for small or portable systems.

A severe lack of imagination.

Some of the classic RTS games perhaps, like C&C or Starcraft? They tend to be story driven and the most stats you tend to care about are “do I have enough resources” and “do I have enough units?”

Or they work in a regulated industry that requires pseudo-airgapped machines for remote users, e.g. the machine actually interacting with the systems needs to be within the controlled boundary but the company has a presence in multiple locations, so the solution is to have a Citrix server that the users remote into. But because the SSP also has access control requirements at every stage that take a long time to get updated to newest industry standards, the user still needs to have passwords rotated, MFA, and all that kaboodle.

Note that Wasabi has no egress fees, but has a transfer limit - essentially the contract stipulates that your monthly egress will be less than the amount of storage you pay for.

No one mentioned Noober from Baldur’s Gate yet…

They can go the Minecraft route and allow players to self host servers, plus a subscription option for online servers.

The one thing snap does that flatpak doesn’t is provide CLI applications. But then nix also does that, so snap can go pound salt.

I used a Fractal Design case for a home server in the past. Pretty happy with them.

Depends on how you intend to maintain it. I started out with a Synology NAS. When that started to give out the ghost I built own so that I could have better control over the software and hardware. It’s now a NAS of Theseus - all the parts (even the OS) have been replaced over time, but it’s still the same “unit”.

The hardest part was deciding on a case. I started with a small form factor as a preference. Nowadays I just pick what gives me good airflow and ease in replacing parts.
